West Ham Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[eddiev14]

"Noble for England.."

Christ.. someone please help me mute these commentators..

He's ex West Ham and is making it painfully obvious...

 

[thinktank]

AVB and sherwood wanted us to press high up the pitch to, you can lead the horse to water but you can make him drink

They 'drank' fine in pre-season. It's obvious that they are freezing on the first day and are totally discombobulated (first time I've ever used that on SC ).

The test of whether a new philosophy is ingrained, is if your team can practise it under true pressure.

It's not ingrained. Not seeped in nearly enough...still sloshing around on the surface in fact.

Will take a few months. I already factored that into my expectations (or lack thereof) for this season.

What I'm interested in is how they react in the second half after a talk from poch.

"Noble's the best passer in the PL and England need passers." Christ.

 

[ThorntonSpur]

Naughton and Lennon why did they start??

They are rubbish!

that's what hoy thought hence the red card. lennon next

 

[only1waddle]

Kaboul isnt the player he used to be

 

[spurs-r-us]

We are getting battered by fucking west ham. Is doesn't get much worse than that.

No positives. Poor selection. Poor tactics. A lot of average/shit players.

Amazing how many happy clapping deluded fans on here.

We're 50 minutes into the fucking season. We're not losing.

Look at yourself.

 

[tippspur59]

Why is Lloris wearing last seasons keeper strip?

 

[Gbspurs]

Any radio links for this?

 

[Annabel]

"Can't believe Noble didn't make the england squad, he's one of the best passers in the premier"

WT ACTUAL F?

 

[Bobbins]

Couple of strange selections today, with Bentaleb and not Holtby/Mason and a clearly unfit Adebayor instead of Soldado/Kane.

Trouble is with a sending off you're suddenly gimped in the choices you can make. Not sure what I'd do now - Dawson on for Bentaleb and Holtby for Lennon perhaps? Kane for Adebayor?

Time to earn your credits MoPo.

 

[absolute bobbins]

Is that kind of talk really necessary?

Yes, it really is. I'm fed up with the trolly bullshit and for once I bit and actually expressed an opinion that will be shared by a lot of people, even if they're not prepared to admit it

 

[nidge]

Really need to bring Ade off. Not offering anything of value at the moment.

 

[robin09]

Seriously, what the fuck is Ade doing, avoiding every aerial ball?!

 

[Sir Henry]

"Noble's the best passer in the PL and England need passers." Christ.

Not very accurate from 12 yards is he.

 

[desert spur]

yes looked out of sorts before (and especially after) the red. it looks bad now, but hard to judge 10v11, 1st game of season, etc. i'm hoping this is some rust + unlucky...not a pattern.

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

Kaboul isnt the player he used to be

Surely the club realise this, but we've gone into the season without addressing it.

 

[JaySpur]

Finally home.. any changes for the second half while I scramble to find a stream?!

 

[Bobbins]

Looks like we've gone 4-4-1 now? Also clear they've been told not to press now, going to play on the counter with Lamela and Lennon presumably.

 

[Cavehillspur]

Any changes, no?
