Match Threads Spurs vs Wolverhampton Wanderers - Match Thread

[class of 62]

Lost in all this is the fact that we still haven't played any home matches for a season and a half now. This match goes differently if it was played at the lane. Wembley is awful and we can't get out of there soon enough.

I fucking hate the place... Its soulless..

You win some, you lose some. Football.

Onto the next.

Our record at Wembley is beyond excellent.

The problem wasn't Wembley it was fatigue and complacency leading to over 100 misplaced passes. We completely lost control in the middle and didn't have anyone to come on and take control.

People seem to think we aren't playing Lamela, Dembele, Dier and Wanyama out of choice. They are all injured and have been for some time.

So now, do we want Liverpool to win?

No, I want Arsenal to win.

I don’t say that often, but Tottenham’s success is always my priority, ahead of Arsenal’s failure.

On the rare occasion that Arsenal winning is good for Spurs, that’s what I’ll hope for.

I got to say as well our fans were pretty poor today. You could see they needed to really help and push the team on and it was completely flat. Just heard wolves the whole game. Hate Liverpool but you'll see the difference in about ten minutes when they give their team the energy they need

I'm fucking ancient I was 6 when we won the double, great times in the early 80's, and, and apart from the odd bone thrown our way I'm still waiting. Put it on my tombstone.

Well then a person of your 'maturity' should know better. Losing one game in a fantastic season doesn't make us legends. Yeah, we won cups in the 80's... it was easier then.

 

[peteblue]

Yes we lost, but it is only a blip. We need to pick ourselves up and get ready for Cardiff. We looked tired second half and Wolves to be fair took advantage.

Welcome to SC

It’s exhausting

I thought Eriksen was the key individual in the game personally. We were by no means playing anywhere near well in the first half but our best moments were coming through him and he hit three or four really cute passes. When he got that booking though he became an absolute fanny in his defensive work and he then really tired, stopped getting around the pitch, and the radar went.

 

[fortworthspur]

Trips was fine until he got smashed in the back of the head with a forearm shiver. Probably should have come off. A lot like the Watford game, the ref let it get physical and we didnt cope.

I can't fault the players today. This schedule is hectic and was always going to catch up. They were shattered in the 2nd half. The scary thing is the schedule continues for another week and a half. Tues, Fri, Tues and then finally a little bit of recovery time for Sun against Utd. I'm feeling tired just watching, I can only imagine how the players feel.

Genius move for Wolves leaving Moutinho on the bench. Absolutely bossed the game the last 20 mins against our tired midfield. In hindsight we should have done that with Eriksen.

It's also dispiriting. "Fans" just vent the most ridiculous vicious self-loathing shit. Awful.

*Dons tin foil hat*

Sky and the EPL want Liverpool to win the league. Huge amount of decisions already. Salah avoiding a ban etc. It creates a narrative to flog their disgusting channel.

Also the moon landings were staged. Elvis is still alive. 9/11 was an inside job.

Moutinho and Costa absolutely wrecked us. And turning the ball over with them running riot. So so costly.

 

[Johnny J]

Hilarious that the media have spent days hyping up our title chances and are now asking if our title challenge is over.

 

[dtxspurs]

Can some one explain whats bad about fans being upset after a loss like that?

 

[UbeAstard]

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

Over react a lot?

 

[pistolP]

If we don’t invest in January honestly top 4 will be a struggle to the end of the season, ball is in your court mr levy, nobody can blame poch for leaving

It is not all Levys fault if we don't sign anyone,look at Poch as well.f

Social media is not visitable tonight..

I thought it went tits up today out there when Winks was bundled to the ground and didn't rightly or wrongly get a foul from the ref.

Any cohesion or constructive football from us went out the window.

That was some collapse out there. I'm hurting but ... Tuesdsy we go again..

 

[Spurs 1961]

Poor performance from the start everyone looked jaded. We were OK playing in second gear until they made a sub around the hour mark and then they really had a go winning every ball. All game we had tried a lot of little flicks and clever touches that just failed to come off and gave back possession. When they scored we were unable to raise our game and they obviously knew we were running on empty. Far play to them they made us pay.

I was surprised we risked Dele and also did not make some startling changes but then again we had little on the bench who could change things.

This game cried out for a Dier to shire things up and lead a charge or a Dembélé to take some control.

Bad performance and an opportunity list but we have eighteen games left and won’t play as badly again. Meanwhile we know that some of our rivals will drop points in the next couple of games so it’s not the end of our title hopes by a long way. Maybe it is the impetus to try the impossible and get a couple of quality players in to bolster the squad.
