Match Threads Spurs vs Wolverhampton Wanderers - Match Thread

[Dennism]

Wolves came strong at the end of the game earlier this season. Pochettino seems to have completely overlooked the possibility of this happening again. He often doesn’t seem to have a plan B or a bench he trusts. That said, we have had a host of injuries and a vicious fixture schedule. We will come back from this and hopefully win something this season. It is so depressing to see Liverpool doing well and to see the sheer joy this promotes on Sky and the media in general.

Tacticaly Wolves have been spot on.

Second half they had our number.

Their Manager came through for them.

We really did lack pace at full back today. Going both ways. Davies seems happy if he just doesn't get skinned, he doesn't mind people getting crosses in, seems a nice lad but going forward I really don't think we can have him playing as many games as he does for us. Same for Trippier although better in the final third.

 

[jimmy-jojo]

We diddnt bottle anything. We lost a home league game in December.

Disagree. In the context of the season and the fact we were leading we well and truly bottled it.

I put £2 on Wolves at 40s. Am I to blame?

With any luck, trippier will be sold from under Poch this month. Poch simply cant be given the option to play him at this point. He’s a complete liability.

It's so obvious at this point I have absolutely no idea what Trippier defenders are looking at. I'll always be grateful for his time at the club and he seems to be a decent guy but he needs to go.

We must strengthen next month, I don't see it with Levy in charge but we must!
If we don't get top 4 this year after the position we were in, it would be the biggest bottle job ive seen from Spurs in a long time and we will be laughing stock once more.
Fed up with it from this side, we get close and do what we did today, the players seem to get over confident themselves. It was a shocking performance today and no one can justify that. Tiredness yes but look at what we had on the bench, nothing! and that is down to 1 man not doing his job in the summer and must in Jan

 

[ajspurs]

Son, Alli and Kane were all guilty of dribbling when a pass was on. Odd.

Yeah absolutely, it's like they all wanted to do too much with the ball today.

1. This team was never going to win the title. It wasn`t good enough last season, and it is not good enough this season either.

2. If you want to actually win the title you have to invest, as Liverpool has.

3. With no investment, top 4 would be a fantastic achievement.

 

[riggi]

I think the picture is a bit bigger than that tbh.

I don't. We found ourselfs in a position and it surprised us all. Then some of our fans decided we were in the title race.

We have clear issues and the title is not something we will or was ever going to be winning this season.

 

[bsinghd]

Tired can be used as an excuse for a shit performance but today was down to complacency and players starting to believe their own hype.

Wolves played as a team by which I mean they knew their roles and managed to pass to each other, rather than our players who seemed intent on running 40-50 yards with the ball before looking up for a team mate.

Deserved to lose and reminded me of our performances at the beginning of the season, disjointed and not playing as a team

 

[Joely]

Looked shot all over the pitch. Key was central midfield. Winks and Sissoko have started 3 games in under a week, had a feeling it would catch up with us during this run of games as we've have had the fewest days rest between games in this period. Wolves have the quality to expose the lack of legs and no surprise when Moutinho came on they were bossing it.

Just kept thinking if only we had Dembele and Wanyama available to chuck on right now. For all his crossing ability, Trippier can't be relied upon to do his first job which is defend properly. Lloris didn't cover himself in glory for their 2nd. Dive looked like it was in slow motion.

 

[lol]

is it about time we try gaz for the pl?

 

[TheBlueRooster]

Well that was poor, really disappointing but shit happens.

 

[dagraham]

Hope liverpool tonk Arsenal now, people can go back to not dreaming because it hurts too much and those who create the narratives can go back to not talking about us and a title challenge.

I think you will get your wish.

 

[CantSmileWithoutYou]

Not one shot second half.

At home to wolves. Fuck me.

 

[ackie]

we won't buy anyone unless we shift out those useless players, no matter in terms of ability and fitness, and no one would buy them

Ipswich might

 

[lilywhitecurtis]

is it about time we try gaz for the pl?

One for the statos but have we lost a game with Gazzainga in goal?

 

[LSUY]

I’ve always wanted the cups over CL qualification. But then again I like going to finals and watching us win. Although granted it’s a rare occurrence.

That's because you're one of those old-timey fans who believe the game is about glory when it's really about singing along with the Champions League theme tune.

 

[southlondonyiddo]

0.9% correct. Well done

We've played 11 games in 35 days
We've got a thin squad
We've had and have loads of injuries
We couldnt score the second goal
Wolves brought on Costa and Moutinho
We had nothing on the bench (2 right backs a baby central defender and Nkoudou!!)
They scored 3 goals in the last 20 mins

We've done absolutely amazingly to be where we are this season considering all the mitigating circumstances, the list of which are as long as your arm...
