Yes, we lost to ManUtd, but can we please stop going into catastrophe mode

[lukespurs7]

To say we have been good in 80% of our games is utterly misleading, we haven't.

We have only been good in about 3-4 of our games. QPR, Arsenal to name but two of them.

For me at least, keeping hold of the ball and creating almost nothing with it, continually passing backwards, 90 passes between the CB's a game, poor decision making, sloppy passing, way to many basic and catastrophic errors... the list goes on... Is the complete opposite of playing good in 80% of our games.

But that is not to say we on many occasions have played with a high tempo and pressed very well in a few games, but that is it, other positives are Kane, Lloris and most of the time Eriksen.

Swansea,Chelsea,Liverpool...

We've been playing pretty exciting attacking football scoring and creating loads of chances it's just at the back we've been poor.

You are clueless mate

 

[lukespurs7]

And then they score.

Well done

But still scoring 2 in the first 10 minutes backs up your point about our always passing backwards and not creating anything.

So you're pleased that we let in a goal just so you can post against me,how old are you 12?

Jog on.

Where fuck did I say that?

Seriously, just fuck off.

Whatever mate, your pathetic.

Why gloat to me then?

I'd rather get behind my team than just criticise when Potch and the team clearly have a plan and have improved our football and identity this season.

If you can't see that that has happened you obviously don't know much about football.

 

[lukespurs7]

Whatever mate, your pathetic.

Says the guy telling me to F off on a football forum because I disagreed with your negative opinion of our improvement this season.

 

[sebcole]

Not sure why this wasn't in the match thread to be honest.

Defensively we have been a mess for much of the season and some of poch team selections and subs have been bizarre
You can still be behind the club and make observations about the team that are critical

 

[Damian99]

Those are still very, very tough games with the first 3 fighting for their lives.

They shouldn't be tough games, but as you can see from today, we will make them so.

Agreed. As I've stated we've improved offensively but really need to sort the defending out.

If we can do that we'll be a very good side.

All I'm saying is with what Potch has to work with he's done a good job in his first season.

It's a big if though
And it's a big worry

 

[lukespurs7]

Is is because Mason and Bentaleb don't give enough protection or because the defenders we have aren't good enough?

I think its a bit of both, were too open and also poor at set-piece defending but really jan Dier and walker have been very off form recently especially walker and jan.

Shame

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

Bentaleb and Mason have been undeservedly raised onto these lofty heights, when in all honesty they have had many more ordinary games than good ones.
