Match Threads Brighton vs Spurs - Match Thread - Day 20

[wrd]

Its a real mess at the moment, I'm at the point now where Im hoping that having Kane, Reguilon and Lo Celso back will resolve things and we can just get to the summer and carry out the business we need to in order to carry out whatever it is we're trying to do but must admit im concerned now at the form we're showing. It doesn't bode well whatsoever.

Reality is we need top4, we need the money if we want to do real business.

Enjoyed AVB-ball more than this. Almost.

Mr Werner, We’ll see you next.

The best teams have the best managers it is not coincidence . Look at Leeds today the same players that Bielsa took over with no buys and they look fantastic . Jose is yesterdays man but getting rid is not an option because Danny boy is paying him £15 mill a year and to get rid would cost £30 mill plus the cost of a new man big mistake Danny boy . I honestly think we could be relegated and I am not joking Jose seems to have sucked the soul out of the team . I know we have reggie Kane and Lo Celso to come back in but by then we would be on a downward spiral that may be difficult to get out of .

You seriously think we won't get another 7 points for the rest of the season?? I think that's what is called "knee-jerk reaction"

People get pissed off with Spursy or Dr.Tottenham but they exist for a reason and tonight was very much the epitome of those phrases.

Until we can change the ingrained culture of Dr.Tottenham we wont progress too far

The way to ingrain that was to go polar opposite and get someone boring who wins

We're shit but we're not relegation shit

 

[Johnspur]

Smashing it long and defending. Woeful.

 

[sebo_sek]

Bah as if we've never written off 60m before.

It would sting. It wouldn't cripple.

In normal circustances yes. These are far off normal

 

[tcyrus]

he would do better I’m convinced of it. He would actually get Lo Celso and Ndombele in midfield together not just alternate them or substitute one for the other. He would of played Bale with Kane and Son with midfielders who can move the ball through the pitch not just a miss match team with no chemistry. these type of performances and results have been coming a mile off. If people can’t see it they can’t see it.

Harry two keepers on the bench Redknapp.
no thank you

 

[dondo]

Are you serious? You would have chosen a back 3 and had Davies and Sissoko as wing backs? In what world does that sound like a good idea? It is one thing when we used it against Sheffield United as we had Reguilon and Aurier and had Kane as a no 9 to hold it up.

Jose set us up to fail today, yes the players were poor individually but this was obvious from the moment we saw the team sheet.

I wouldn’t necessarily have picked the same team/formation as Jose but I get why he did it after the defensive shit show vs Liverpool, he was trying to shore up the defence imo

 

[idontgetit]

Yet weirdly we have the joint 2nd best defense in the league.

Is that true? Jayzuz. It goes to show how fucking negative we must be going forward for a side with the two of the best strikers in the league up front.

 

[VoteMe4Prez]

Tbf, the alarm bells were ringing with how he has treated Dele. Now Serge

 

[USAYID]

Disgusting.

Ive defended Jose and I do believe our midfield is a major issue but that performance is totally totally unacceptable.

Yes, we don't have Kane. Yet Jose has Vinicius, Bale, Lucas, Bergwijn and Son available, which is still enough to cause some issues.

Im appalled!

They would be enough if we had any cohesion and a system other than route 1. All I see is no movement, inaccurate passing, backwards and side wards passing when we do manage to string a couple together, and too many players who slow things down when they get the ball because there are no options open. This is all down to the coach and his system (or lack of system to be more accurate).

 

[TheChosenOne]

David Pleat - caretaker mgr until the summer.

He's 75 now and he definitely won't get our players name right.

 

[GetSpurredOn]

Who would you bring in for Mourinho??

Not sure who’s available. If we’re looking at someone out of work so we can get them in easier, Favre or Allegri have the pedigree, but both could be a risk coming into PL for first time. That said 1 game in and Tuchel has picked up a win already.

Time for a change of manager.

Absolutely. I’m seeing nothing that even looks like improving. There is no cohesive plan at all.

Benitez till end of the season

Please no, that’s a step in the wrong direction. We should be looking for someone who can start rebuilding, no more sticking plasters.

The players look throughly disengaged. Either they just don’t care, or else there is some real trouble behind the scenes. The team is broken and I don’t see Mourinho fixing it. Fresh start required.

 

[bubble07]

What bullshit excuses will Mourinho invent and which players will he throw under the bus in his post-match interview?

Vinicius

 

[13VanDerBale13]

I only caught the second half which was apparently better than the first but why wasn't Doherty playing? I guess Aurier is out of the picture.

Which explains you’re blind faith in us winning a trophy lol, Doherty wasn’t playing because he’s shit like the rest of the defence.

 

[dondo]

Still trying to process the fact we started with five at the back against 17th place Brighton.

Did you watch us defending vs Liverpool?

 

[yiddopaul]

Of course we can, if we slide away from where the club expect to be he will go because at the end of the day CL money is massively important to this club.

Isn't he on something like a five year deal, so 3.5 years left at £15m p/y. Not gunna happen.

 

[Pistols At Dawn]

Here's something sad: Mourinho is going to stay and he's going to make *DELE* leave.
