Match Threads Spurs vs Watford - Match Thread

[KenTHFC]

Why can't Poch never see this formation doesn't work.

It works when you have actual quality in the side, like 16/17

 

[SpursD22]

Agree. But when we play 3 in the back we should be using Foyth not Sanchez. He offers more on the ball than Sanchez and is more suited to it.

Maybe Poch doesn’t want 3 ball playing CB he wants one who’s more physical and faster
That’s just me guessing

 

[Fredo]

But we have great squad depth and the squad is fine how it is!

 

[Johnny J]

We do not sign players to long term contracts to deal with an injury crisis.

No football club does that. Least of all us.

There was never the slightest chance that we would sign a player in January to cover for our injuries. Zero.

Right, but a Dembele replacement isn't unreasonable.

 

[wrd]

I don't think the need is down to injuries. I think the need is down to complacency.

Too often, we have no fire in this team.

Yeah on paper our 11 and bench is better than their 11 and bench, Injuries are a terrible excuse.

 

[homer hotspur]

Yes it's definitely good news.

Meh - Chelsea losing is though

 

[Ron Burgundy]

What’s worrying is the lack of real chances we’ve made. Has Foster made a genuine save? Has a single cross or delivery been anything other than dire?

I’m seriously worried we’ll drop points here and we just can’t afford to

 

[ardiles]

Poch has to realise that we need to strengthen our bench if we want to have a realistic chance of securing top four.

We heading into Levy time territory, so there might be a sliver of hope. (Fingers and toes crossed).

 

[belsunz]

We aren’t strong enough in CM.

Too true. We aren’t bossing games in misfield anymore. Think about the Wanyama - Dembele combo of two seasons ago.

 

[WiganSpur]

Think i'd opt for Lamela coming on for one of the CBs, then Lucas for Fernando.

 

[DiamondLites]

Christ Eriksen has been poor

Not sure he warrants that shortening of his name, Ian Eriksen is more befitting on current form

We need to abondon the notion we can play with Llorente other than late in games, get him off play Son through the middle with him and mad dog Lamela hassling those donkeys Watford have at CB. It’s embarassing we look toothless up against Cathcart and Mariappa

 

[CrouchPotato]

I shudder to think where we’d be without Sissoko this season. If he hadn’t stepped up as he has our midfield would be non existent.

 

[SugarRay]

We actually played ok and but for the corner fuck up they did not look like scoring. We just need more in midfield and more composure in the final third. I feel a bit sorry for Llorente as our final balls in and crosses are dreadful so nothing for him to attack. Lets bope Son can last the 90 mins otherwise we are screwed!

Thing is since the goal the defence are now nervy and we’re getting more anxious with our play

 

[Matthew]

Eriksen still looks tired... lol

Trying to avoid injury for his summer move one suspects.

 

[tony0379]

Back 3 and chaos from a set piece. Hmmmm who could have seen that coming?

I know who fucking couldn't.

We had 10 players in the box for the corner

 

[Mr Pink]

Poch has to rip into them.

We need more urgency, to make something happen not waiting for something to happen.

 

[gavspur]

3 CB’s to mark Deeney?

3 at the back works against certain opposition. Deeney and Watford tho? Nah.

Go to a back 4 and bring on an attacking wide player.

 

[Chimbo!]

Everyone, I’ve figured out the problem. We can’t use players whose names start with a double L. I mean why do you need two Ls?

 

[werty]

It works when you have actual quality in the side, like 16/17

It's not the same formation.
