Match Threads Bournemouth vs Spurs - Match Thread

[sebo_sek]

I've had an epiphany.

I
DON'T
CARE

It's only football

 

[rabbikeane]

We were shit in the 90's - but I don't remember us being consistently this boring before.

We did a record of 0-0 games in a row under Graham. That was pretty bleak.

 

[überghost]

Passion?? We're afraid to make mistakes. Safety first, ande the ones taking any sort of risks are benched and not played. Oooh, a clean sheet. Well, clean sheets do not give You any titles. Goals do.

 

[Mr Pink]

I wanted Mourinho in but this is not what I was expecting.

Yes I knew he would be pragmatic, sort out our defense and get us organised as a collective but to not be able to muster up any effective attacks over two full games with that calibre of player on the pitch is fucking laughable.

I cant see how anyone has any faith in the manager.

Someone said it but he's based out entire attacking intent on serge aurier. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

I cant see a hint of the old mourinho. The magic has gone.

Why’s everyone blaming Mourinho????

He’s inherited the same disillusioned wastes of space that Poch had mid season and hasn’t had a full summer window to bring in his own players, get rid of the trash and drill a winning mentality into them.

This is on the players, they let down our best manager of 5 years in Poch and they’ve carried on the same way under Jose. They should be ashamed of themselves. They can’t pass, run, move, shoot... even our stalwarts like Kane look a shadow of their former self.

Come next season, if we’re still seeing Aurier, Davies, Sissoko and Winks week in week out then yes Jose needs to shoulder some of the blame but for now it’s on the players.

 

[Metalhead]

So is the Jose or the ENIC thread going to be the busiest?

 

[HedgieSpur]

He was poor today. Looked well of the pace

I thought he was our best player. The only player who moved the ball at pace and could ACTUALLY FUCKING PASS TO A TEAMATE.

 

[shoggy33]

That was pants! Can anyone honestly blame Kane if he wants to leave the club?

Im sure this will be an unpopular opinion but Kane is a huge part of the problem. He was a complete statue today. I'm sure he's still a deadly finisher but he's not even close to the player he was 3 years ago. Injuries have totally ravaged him, each time he comes back 10% less of a player. If he wants to go, let him go, and rebuild the squad with someone other than Levy in charge of transfers.

 

[ohtottenham!]

In fairness to Pochettino he did say it was going to be a painful rebuild. We just didn't realise how painful.

In fairness, there's painful, and then there's Jose painful!

 

[oskathegobshite]

Also do not understand at all the positive comments about N'Dombele - I'm afraid I am with Jose on that one

He is slow, looks overweight, lacks guile and passion, throws his hands up when he misplaces passes or gets tackled. If we can get a buyer I would move him on asap

 

[G Ron]

They all need to take a good look at themselves after serving up that utter shower of shit. Embarrassing performance from the moment we didn’t get the pen (which was a another fucking dreadful call from Michael Oliver the complete tosser).
Kane couldn’t complete a two yard pass, Lamela held onto the ball everytime before losing it and then ran around fouling everyone, Moura was tripping over his own feet as per, Son was shit, Winks gave the ball away constantly, Ben Davies is not good enough, how many times does he waste opportunities in good positions? Aurier has more ball than anyone and does naff all with it 9 times out of 10.

This team is shot and I just can’t see things improving without wholesale changes to the personnel (regardless of the manager).

They look unfit, disinterested, like they’ve never played together before, like they don’t really like each other - I see no spirit whatsoever.

Other than that it’s great - bring on the scum ?

 

[daryl hannah]

Devil's advocate - if we're playing poorly it's easier to get players out the door, maybe...

Then next season, bring in 8 or 9 players, and it's pedal to the metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ardiles]

No shots on target in more than 100 minutes of football against a team that’s been in poor form and likely to be relegated, is not acceptable.

I remember him playing. Some of our players are completely invisible.

 

[fatpiranha]

I sure hope we aren't going to take up our option to buy Gedson.

You just know that winks will always be considered a key player but never do anything

I don’t disagree at all. My only concern would be that without selling one of the big hitters (and bearing in mind that it’s not a sellers market anyway), there is going to be precious little to spend on sorting out the squad.
