Match Threads West Ham Vs Spurs

[lukadownthelane]

Awful. We need a stronger bench. Why was Skipp on the bench if he wasn’t going to play because both CMs were awful?

 

[werty]

Poor in midfield, we badly need another player with a bit more than just workrate, someone who can hold it and pass more accurately.

You could have the most press resistant midfielders in the world, but they'll still struggle with the way our back three, Royal and Lloris play out from the back

 

[cst310]

if there is only one player trusted enough to be a difference maker offensively off the bench that is a massive red flag. Draws happen, and so do bad days, but if Conte doesn't feel like there is any value in changing any part of the rest of that lineup, it feels concerning. Again, trying not to overreact to one result, more to Conte's comfort level with his options...

And let the over reactions begin ?

Fossil football. Starting to get abit worried tbh.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Sons form is a real worry btw, needs a spell on the bench ASAP

 

[mmidgers]

Turgid and spineless against a wham team not at their best. Lucky to leave with a point

 

[spurmin]

Another completely inept performance. Just like under Nuno last season, they will catch up with us eventually.

did we lose

 

[Impspur1]

That was a tough watch but we lose that on many previous occasions. A point gained overall.

1. Conte clearly doesn’t trust the squad.
2. conte just doesn’t want to use anyone but Ritchie or bissouma as subs.
3. Whilst Emerson, Davies, Sanchez are playing we will be a poor team.
4. Are front 3 are just not firing, son and Kane are not playing well.
5. It’s 5 subs and we made 1 when we played 3 days ago and play again Saturday
6. We are playing very poorly, the system looks awful it’s not working and quite frankly if this is contes master plan it’s not going to make us a better side.

 

[TEESSIDE1]

The players are already blowing. You have to feel for them and Conte as other than Richarlison we had 8 non attacking players on the bench. I know we’ve a couple of injuries but we need at least 2 never mind 1 or 0 incomings before the window closes.

 

[THE SPURSBOY]

Because the options available and willing to come to us at this time aren't there?

Not true there’s enough out there either they don’t want us or we can’t afford them

 

[walworthyid]

Yet another turgid display, one-dimensional display. Yes we're unbeaten, yes I've no doubt that we'll get a very decent points total this season but damn the football is poor.

No creativity, no flair, no invention. People on here are talking about admiring defending like you have to choose! Attacking teams can defend too!

I'll watch it and tolerate it but will never be a fan of this type of football.

We are crying out for a creative player.

 

[danielneeds]

We’re not gonna get far this season if our only form of goalscoring is breaks with our front three.

 

[mdharris]

Shame that a few minutes lack of concentration with Hojbjerg’s boot/ heel costing us two points. We were in control up until that point. Richy looked very good when he came on.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

That, to be blunt, is embarrassing:

 

[Dakes]

A ref can be poor, and this one was, but that doesn't mean you have to add to it by playing s**t. Haven't been this frustrated in a while. Fulham are looking decent thus far and I can see us putting in another flaky performance against them.

 

[g_harry]

Thought we started well.
Love Sonny but needs to be dropped can't afford to carry any players.
Brough alot of pressure on ourselves.
But still unbeaten and gained point on this match last season.

 

[Phil-spur99]

Got away with that in the end…. We are using up quite a bit of luck.

Need to see some big improvements with our creativity though. Conte needs to have more than one way to play if it doesn’t work. We always seem to be outnumbered in midfield, we need another body in there and preferably someone who can be more creative.

 

[Johnny J]

Anyone convincing them our squad is fine as it is, their is your reality check.

Aside from Richarlison, absolutely nothing to help us off the bench.

In particular we have no other reliable attacking options other than Richi. Who is fantastic, I admit and I'm delighted he's here. Should be starting.
