Match Threads Spurs Vs Olympique de Marseille

[Aphex]

This has been an awful opening 23 minutes. Can't string three passes together. We keep doing little flicks that aren't coming off too.

 

[rossdapep]

Every one is a split second of 2 too slow. Whether it's a pass, a tackle or movement.

Marseille sharper to everything

 

[davidmatzdorf]

A quarter of the game gone and I don’t recall a chance of any kind for either side.

 

[djhotspur]

we look awful

 

[Rogmeister]

Fuck me this is dull. When did nuno come back?

 

[philll]

Jenas has had to bite his tongue a couple of times to stop himself calling Guendouzi a ****.

 

[cjbyid]

Poor.

Disappointing we seem happy for them to dominate possession

 

[dagraham]

Sorry, did someone say something? I nodded off there for a minute

 

[WiganSpur]

We need another option other than pinging it into one of the 3 forwards and trying to get on the turn to find a through ball.

 

[BillyWhizz]

If you play this deep you need to be able to play through a press but we dont seem a good team at that yet.

 

[lol]

feels like a draw tonight

 

[walton]

Marseille absolutely bossing this

 

[chrissivad]

That's what we need to see, one of the cm's or the wing backs pushing on and creating some space.

 

[GutBucket]

Marseille absolutely bossing this

And that's with Payet on the bench.

 

[cwy21]

So many bad touches and passes in the midfield. Stops any counter attack before it gets going.

 

[SpursD22]

I know possession & pressing isn’t the only things that makes a team good and this is how Conte likes to play but sometimes I wish he would just ride the energy a bit more, the stadium was buzzing at kickoff, use that to our advantage. Even more pragmatic managers like Simoeme presses high & aggressive in home CL games in the first 15 minutes

 

[Rogmeister]

Jesus the city game could be really painful

 

[Aphex]

If we can actually link up properly, they are there to be got at.

 

[BillyWhizz]

It's not like we're giving up chances though.

 

[Entomologist]

Passing just hasn’t been slick enough for effective counter attacks.
