Match Threads Spurs Vs West Ham

[Teemu]

Fake pressing is a bit like threatening to piss in a hedge, only to then run home to your bedroom where you shut the curtains, lock the door, urinate in a sock, then hide the sock beneath the floorboards. That’s how shit and pointless a fake press is

Very, very strange analogy.

Why are the commentators making it sound like they are battering us? They've had a couple of good spells with chances from set pieces, but we've been better on the ball.

Weird.

 

[TonyS]

Doherty is not that clever at all. Oh my, and the haircut. Ah for fuck sake.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Pretty meh performance tbh. Far too open at the back and we just don’t look as sharp in this formation as we did against Liverpool in the 3-5-2.

Also, Reguilon’s crossing has been so bad. When Doherty is our best crossing full back, you know you have issues.

 

[mark87]

"Lloris busy" the sign off by the commentator when Areola has faced more shots and more on target too.

Are they actually watching the same game?

 

[AtoubaToothpaste]

I'm still massively underwhelmed by Reguilon.

You're not the only one. I'm glad he's improved under Conte and now has a system where he can get forward more without leaving us too exposed but he consistently makes a poor final decision. I have higher hopes that Sess will eventually take the place.

I think Doc is our best option at RWB right now. Shape is much better with him in the side.

 

[spursfan77]

Grumbles inwardly while staring cross-armed and wet-eyed.

Probably a bit early doors for me to be coming out with the comment but we probably wouldn’t of crossed the half way line yet if he were still here.

Hobby was great for the first goal, he was essential and great run into the box and pass by him, so glad for him

 

[Gb160]

It seems like every single set piece they’re getting a head on.
Infuriating.

 

[mmidgers]

Did Doherty just have a good half!?

 

[spursfan77]

True mate. Kane been poor tonight fs.

He needs a partner up there. It’s pretty obvious. On his own he’s playing against 2/3 defenders. With Son up there Sunday they have more to deal with.

 

[midspur]

Fair play to the 4th official there. You don't often see them chip in like that.

How the other 3 failed to see it is beyond me

He's been absolutely poor again today, completely useless ...

 

[bubble07]

Might be harsh on gollini but he would have conceded 3 or 4 this half

Just a bit of a shame he's shit really.

Who?

Just coming back from injury. In every other game he’s played he’s created some very big chances… give him time to find his rhythm again

 

[DarwinSpur]

That was a very good half of Cup football. West Ham look massively up for it even though they've been rather down recently.

We've oddly looked all at sea sometimes defensively. There was one bit of play that Skip smuggled out for a corner where as West Ham were coming our entire back 6 were looking at each other confused and pointing; clearly all out of proper shape and not knowing where they were supposed to be. That might be West Ham's set up which hopefully we'll smooth out at halftime.

Carabao quarter final, midweek Spurs game, beer pre christmas, good atmosphere, solid football with chances and goals, i am happy so far.

And nice for stevie to get goal + assist.
