Match Threads Brighton vs Spurs - Match Thread - Day 20

[Wheeler Dealer]

He is only on a 3 year deal thankfully

2.5 years too long

 

[Romulus]

no doubt winksy coming on to 'get us ticking'

 

[Trix]

Shit formation again from Jose, but the lack of effort is as much if not more down to the players.

Its obvious he's playing more defenders because he doesn't believe we're good enough to keep the ball out with 2 CB's. Whilst I agree with that, it looks a lot worse with 3. No one knows their roles, and no one at all is marking. They are also far too narrow, for a 3 .

It's just a really poor formation for us to play.

 

[Nerine]

Shit half.

To be honest, and it pains me to say it, I’m becoming increasingly apathetic towards Spurs and football. I decided to have a nap in the second half when we played Liverpool and I just thought, meh, I’ll find out the score when I wake up.
I didn’t even know we were playing today until my brother told me whilst we were gaming last night.

The above is totally out of character for me. I think I’ve just given up on this season, the Mourinho experiment (of which I was all for his appointment and I was excited by it) and I think some of those last minute draws have just made me think, fuck this.

I’ll still watch, but it’s becoming a chore and I used to really look forward to watching Spurs and I never missed a game. Always found a way to watch it, regardless of my location. I think we’re playing negatively, the results are negative, the football is boring and I’m just meh about all of it. If we lose, we lose. It pissed me off at the start of the season when we lost, but now? Nah. Whatever. There’s precious little to be positive about with Spurs at the minute, and that’s really just sad more than anything. I’m no longer pissed off with the results. It’ll be what it is.

I may even go have a shower in a few mins and if I miss 20 mins of the game, I do.

We are like a team of training cones.

We are like a team of training cones.

That’s the second time you’ve posted the same message twice. Are you being a Good Samaritan by making us all think we’ve lost our minds, and that we’re not really playing this shit against Brighton?

If so, thank you.

 

[spursfan77]

This reminds me of the performance we put in when we lost 3-0 to the same team under Poch, looks like their heads have dropped.

The players have thrown the towel in again. It’s pathetic.

 

[UbeAstard]

We're a 1 man team and that man ain't playing.

Thats right, Son's no good, Ndombele's no good, Bale's no good, Alderwereld's no good, Hojbergs no good, add Lloris though he does have an error in him. We're talent less and only Kane's any good? Baby and bath water out.

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

As usual, the focus is on individual errors and/or limitations. But what is our actual gameplan as far as trying to score goals?

Whatever the tactics are the players have had enough of it.

 

[mano-obe]

Hojbjerg seems like the only player who wants to save Mourinho's job.

Reminds me of Freund, Michael Brown and Palacios all rolled into one. The boy has heart

 

[tony0379]

Any statistician's here able to give me any hope? I don't remember us coming back from a losing position at all this season. (Maybe United??)

And Southampton

 

[sidford]

Jose has thrown rodon to the wolves here in putting him with Toby and Sanchez who he has left out of team in recent weeks and destroyed what confidence they had.

Huge half coming up, on that first half showing players arent playing for him. Could be proper start of the end stuff

 

[Wizzy77]

United and Southampton.

 

[handsomecake]

Nope.

Its going to get worse.

when Jose eventually loses interest (and id say its not far off ) its going to go bad real fast.

 

[spurs mental]

I don't know what's happened with Sanchez, he just looks like an empty shirt, he doesn't even defend anymore as opposed to when he first came in

Been awful for about 18 months. Doesn't want the ball at his feet either.

The pass to Ndombele at the end of the half he absolutely leathered it at him, pace of a 60 yard pass that was only 15 yards long.

 

[chrissivad]

No coach could get a decent tune out of these players. They are pulling the same shit that got Poch sacked.

We still have a good core of played, but too many that shouldn't be close to starting games.

Lack of decent fullbacks (bar Reguilon who looks good) and cm's who can dominant games (bat Hojbjerg) have/are costing both managers.

That walker rose fullback had so much energy and gave us width, and demebele and Eriksen linked everything up.

 

[dbspurs]

I know Jose isn't helping himself but fuck me these players are playing like utter wasters.

Bar Hoijberg and Bergwijn its been awful.

 

[Dannyspur]

If he doesn't bring on vinicus for a CB I'm going to watch only fools and horses on UK Gold

or ask Jose a question

 

[Dr Know]

Commentator apologising to the fans viewing on NBCSN for tuning back in for the second half............man we're at rock bottom

 

[CowInAComa]

it never fails to blow my mind that Ben Davies earns a living as a premier league footballer.

At least that gives us all hope that one day we can play for spurs.

 

[agrdavidsfan]

It’s easy for every man and his dog to see we are being outnumbered in midfield, the problem is he feels we need the extra defender as he can’t trust them.

Pierre looks shattered, Tanguy doesn’t have the energy for a midfielder two against these bissouma is a machine! He’s better than Kante for me.

the answer is

Sanchez go right back

Davies left back

Sissoko into the middle

4-2-3-1

Tanguy is the 10 son up top bale right stevie left
