Match Threads Spurs vs Liverpool - Match Thread - Day 19

[TheVoiceofReason]

Crap defence playing defensive football equals losing

 

[Hazelton]

Hook Doherty please.

 

[thecook]

Got to Get Toby on, stick Davies at LB and go 4 at the back to add another man in midfield

 

[Spursh]

Gotta change formation. Their extra man in the middle is killing us, and Mane has been running between Aurier and Rodon all match and causing us nightmares. We were hanging on at the end before they scored, with Firmino pulling the strings throughout.

They’re still fragile at the back, but we’ve got to be able to stem the flow in the centre and help Ndombele link up the play to the front men. Get Sissoko on for Doherty and go four at the back.

 

[yankspurs]

Yeah there are multiple players to blame there but our back line is not good enough. Only Rodon & Reguilon are really worth persevering with. Everyone else could go. Dier isnt good enough. Toby is past it. Aurier is meh. Doherty is shit. Sanchez is crap. Tanganga is inexperienced with high potential but is bordering on a sick note already.

 

[Roberts84]

Blame the players all you like but the tactics are so fucking negative as usual. They were there for the taking but our manager spent too much time worrying about nullifying them rather than beating them

 

[shelfmonkey]

Shit show there
From Rodon and Aurier just ball watching while Mane does what he wants and Dier waiting for Lloris and Lloris waiting for who knows what.

Garbage defending.

Better pray Kane comes out second half.

Get Doherty off for the second half.

So what if Kane does come out for the 2nd half! There's NOT ONE of our team who looks like they could find him with a pass if he was the only other player on the pitch!!!

 

[Davo99]

That's more on Hugo than Dier for me, wtf was Dier supposed to do with it from that close to the goal?

What the fuck.

Hmmm I don’t know maybe clear it for a corner??

 

[cjbyid]

Dier has a great attitude and desire, but he's really not a great defender is he?

Yeah he's very average. Struts around thinking he's brilliant though.

 

[bubble07]

2 sides in a nutshell

We score a goal that's offide because Liverpool back 4 is totally in sync and in line. Out back 4 is in the worst shape possible. Davies who is furthest away from the ball is the deepest. Its shocking

But I don't know whether aurier and Rodon are pushed too high or Davies and dier too deep. Someone must be controlling that line. Incredibly poor defending

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Dier & Lloris both leaving it for each other, no leadership

 

[knowlespurs]

I've been big critic of Diet but that was Hugo's ball all day long.

Agreed, it was literally centre meters away from him at a snails pace and he fucking watched it, dier was obviously thinking he would pick it up

 

[EQP]

Too many mentally fragile players. We buckle, lose concentration and make silly mistakes every time we play Liverpool. They have our number and honestly they should have been up 2 goals if Mane was in-form.

 

[GioW]

Joe Rodon is already our best centre back.

 

[philll]

They haven't been falling over themselves to show a replay of that possible Alisson catch outside the area, have they?

 

[sammyj]

Doherty dreadful, that's the manager fault shit every game and then plays him out of position

 

[glacierSpurs]

Fuck the poor communication. Lloris should grow a fucking pair and wipe everyone out there

Dier needs to be shot there. He should know how close the opponent forward was and cleared that himself with his right foot easily and not assumed the keeper could get that.

Has been solid this season despite occasional mistakes but today's was unforgivable. He has gifted the points over. Fuck!

 

[nedley]

Poor from Hugo there

 

[The Apprentice]

Dier was crap there, but seriously, your keeper has to be anticipating that cut back and then has to commit. He just flopped backwards into his goal.

 

[Beni]

be outnumbered in midfield. Get another body in midfield and go 433.

the goal was coming, everyone wanted half time as everyone looked shocked that Kane is struggling and hoping for half time to be patched up
