Match Threads Spurs Vs Leicester

[sundanceyid10]

Struggle to understand how professional players struggle to control a football or pass to their own team mates. Leicester have pushed more players forward because we’re playing with 6 in defence with Hojbjerg scared to go near halfway. Kane just jogging around trying to look for a chance to make a 50 yard pass for the cameras. Conte can take this bullshit football and fuck off back to Juventus, if we attacked this Leicester team who are low on confidence we’d rip them apart but Conte is too scared to have the team play 10 yards further up

Yeah I think that’s been the big for me this year out control and touch on the ball has been alarmingly sloppy this season.

Midfield are knackered.

We've played 8 games and elite athletes are knackered?

 

[mattspur1986]

Hmmm, what's wrong here? Poor players, tactics or coach?

all of the above

 

[RuskyM]

Spence not even on the bench.

Just an absolutely bizarre waste of everyone's time, that. Can already see his loan to Forest in January and attempting to flog him to Fulham in June.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Not a great advert for defending this game is it…

Another failure of our transfer window to not sign an experienced and quality replacement for Rodon.

 

[glacierSpurs]

We need to have an extra body in midfield like how we put up with chelscum in the 2nd half. 2 CMs and 2 wingbacks are totally found out by all teams already........

 

[mil1lion]

I think some players are still stood in the minutes silence

 

[Nick-TopSpursMan]

Another shit performance so far.

40% possession at home to a team who are bottom.

Not good enough and extremely concerning.

 

[DannyNZ]

It’s a hard game when all the opposition need to do to get possession is leave passing channels open to Sanchez. Guaranteed ball coming back to you shortly. Poor half need to get Kulu on the ball more and we need to look after the ball better.

 

[A Bit Much]

Conte needs to be less rigid with the formation. Seems like whichever combination of players just doesn't allow us to control games. Change it up mate, no one's going to give you a wedgie for not sticking to your formation purity.

 

[felmani26]

There is no base for us to build forward momentum whatsoever and at some point Conte is going to have to look to implement using Skipp or Bissouma alongside PEH & Bentancur because it's far too easy for Leicester players to pick up space, have a look and find runners with relative ease.

Fucking WC. I fucking blame and hate the stupid World Cup held in a stupid month of the year. Some players like Kane and Son are just not in full steam in acceleration and pressing.

Can only happen to us that we have Conte and one of the most amazing windows all to be hampered by the shit WC scheduling.

The WC will never ever be held in the middle of the season again but then Conte would have left us.

I'm not sure I agree it's down to the WC You can't blame the WC for what has been by far our biggest Achilllis heel of this season, which is sloppily and cheaply giving the ball away, and frequently in our own half.

Reminds of the stuff we played under José

I don't think recent performances have been but today certainly has.

Good start, drop back, look a bit clueless and then become easy to play through.

 

[sundanceyid10]

Once we get in front in any game we will just defend really deep and piss about at the back. I appreciate that is conte's style and we have patterns, but why pick Sanchez if we are going to play like this? Højbjerg and Bentancur look very heavy legged and very slow in possession. Perisic also. Kane and Richarlison not sticking the ball and trying too many flicks. We really have not got going yet this season.

I think if we really are going to constantly play this (I’d rather we didn’t) then we need another top class passing CB who is very comfortable on the ball.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Conte could be forced to change formation if results / performances continue to go against us.

Getting out run in midfield is becoming a constant theme.

 

[fortworthspur]

watching halftime replays - Sess's effort for their second justifies yanking him.

 

[C1w8]

Poor again...cant blame son and royal this time, its the same performance despite the changes...and just throwing on bissouma doesnt necessarily change it, need to come out and play 2nd half however its done.....

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Anybody expecting Conte to divert from his 3-4-3 need to give their head a wobble. He won’t. Ever.

 

[glacierSpurs]

We can have 3 forwards and 2 WBs bombing forward, but the centre will always be empty. We do counter but are so easily countered ourselves. ?‍?‍?‍

 

[slartibartfast]

We're getting out fought.

Said before the game...if we sit off them they'll grow in belief.

That's what's happening. Can't believe we're not pushing up more and being more aggressive at home.

This applies to every team. You cant let any team get on top and get confidence. It makes winning so much harder.
I dont get what we're trying to do. It's stupid.
