Match Threads Spurs vs Luton

3-1 final score. Timo, Son and Maddison

And suddenly everyone (the hind-sighters) will declare nothing is wrong and we're all knee jerkers. You can see it a mile away.

Nothing wrong with knee jerking in the match thread imo. We all get frustrated from time to time.

I’m usually doing my nut in, in this scenario, but I’m strangely calm.

 

[Bump]

Biss has stopped trying to take people on, I think probably because he lost the ball in a few matches, but it has made him a much worse player. Kulu just keeps failing with very simple passes, not sure what is going on with that.

 

[spurs mental]

Defensively we have so much work to do in the summer ahead of next season. We concede so many avoidable goals. For the CBs and keeper we have we should be keeping more clean sheets.

I don't buy this "It's the system" malarkey. They are goals easy to avoid almost every week.

Bissouma has to come off, be shocked if he comes out for 2nd half

 

[RuskyM]

I'd be seriously tempted to chuck Bergvall in at the deep end in preseason because we badly need some ingenuity in midfield. Too much recycling and blind alleys running. It's looking busy without really achieving anything.

Fans are booing. Really??

I'm not going to pretend it's not been a rather toothless first half. We've not worked their goalkeeper at all, but booing at half time??

Think it is well deserved today, had enough of these pathetic first half performances.

Rather he be sold

Conte was right all along

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

I'd probably take Bissouma off at half - bring on Bentancur - Luton are not going to be an attacking threat in the 2nd half, so no need for us to be too defensive.

At some point Richi needs to come on to lead the line.

Transitional season aside this is worrying. So slow and predictable for far too often. It's a worrying trend that we come apart after the first half season under a new manager. No matter the players or the manager there's something fundamentally wrong with the club. Another big 2nd half needed but this can't keep happening and we can't miss the chances we've missed at times.

 

[anydange]

Towards the end I agree completely but it's not the point. There were a number of posters on here saying it for a long time under Conte before the rot set in.

I think some need to take a long look at themselves and realise they'll find reasons to complain regardless of what is happening and are happy to jump on any bandwagon that comes along.

We've been sloppy at times but it's been no where near as bad as some of the posts in this thread are making out.

We’re losing to Luton. At home. Only Burnley and Sheffield Utd have conceded more goals than them. If that’s not bad I’m not sure what is?

 

[StevePil]

Biss simply is not a number 6, and Ange has got to see this
Bents or even Hjoberg would better options, dare I say even Skipp

bloody hell, my stream is well behind!

 

[Fredo]

defence is lost without vdv.

our attackers couldnt score a goal to save their lives

 

[Jamturk]

I still think we will win this but where is the exciting play from earlier in the season,

Pragmitism

 

[thebenjamin]

This formation doesn't really operate without a threat from wide

 

[fuzzylogic]

Brennan coming on, out and warming up in his full kit

There's a reason Luton haven't been hammered in any of these big games.

No. 3-1. Vic, Vic, Vic.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

We're fluffing so many easy passes. Either a yard short or a yard behind where it needs to be. Biss makes a pass then walks a few yards, no interest in finding space for a return. When we do get possession, we try to get too many players forward too soon, we end up with our midfield and attack all in front of the ball, and our CBs in possession, trying to pick a through ball. Luton, and most other teams, try to keep the ball infront of or level with their players as they move forward, so there's always someone behind the ball to run past it. Simple tactics that we don't do.
