Match Threads Norwich vs Spurs - Match Thread

[TonyS]

When we play all the supposedly lesser teams or poorer ones, they have passion, heart, a willingness to do better and we are a shadow of them. All teams need to have that, but we don't. This, or any or comment on here, is "tinged" with emotion, but more importantly, is spot on. We have telented players but something is wrong, big time. Yes, the squad is stale but it's shockingly poor when we can't get a win over the bottom team, even if they put up a good fight.
We also need a captain out there and as much as Kane is world class at what he brings, he is not captain material. Think of Roy Keane, John Terry, even the donkey. We need someone to give these guys a rollicking when needed.

On a positive note, Ndombele looked very good indeed and on another one, Jose must now know who should be in and who should be discarded. I think I do and I just sell software

 

[Russ1201]

Really can’t blame him if he wanted to leave

Think he has already left shocking effort bar the penalty!

 

[bozzaSPUR]

Foyth, the second coming of Vlad Chiriches. Awful first half performance.

He’s played loads of minutes of course!

 

[yiddopaul]

Oh nooooo. He has been fucking awful as well.

No, he hasn't been awful. He was immense 2 days ago, put a shift in. He was knackered today. Playing against a team fighting relegation that were getting stuck in.

At least Ndombele was good...

Amazing when you play the full 90 ...

 

[SugarRay]

Fuck me some of you fannies need to come off the Christmas booze and take a deep breath

Maybe. Just frustrating watching the same old shit. I feel like I’m in a place where I just want to press fast forward, get the dossers in the club gone and have Jose form his own side.

I’m not keen on a lot of our players right now. It looks like we will never keep a clean sheet away from home again!

 

[nav007_2000]

We should go all out and signed Max Aarons

 

[Mr Pink]

Jan is declining rapidly.

 

[mil1lion]

Must explain why Dele seemingly runs through treacle when through in goal or suddenly can’t hit the ball any harder than a 8 year old girl at times. The image of the circus defence must be playing havoc!

Yeah Alli is shit again I suppose

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

You little fucking hypocrite. You applauded it when you saw team news

I am part of SC remember...

 

[jonnyp]

Jan is declining rapidly.

I agree but he shouldn't ever be playing left back now. That's Jose's fault.

 

[jolsnogross]

Comedy gold. Line up that lots of folks were praying for turned out to be a joke. Jose underestimating Norwich with it and playing into their hands. Enjoyable nonetheless.

Aurier must be the funniest clown of a player in PL history, including the non footballer Souness signed for Southampton that time. What has KWP done at Spurs to deserve the ignominy of being Serge Aurier's back up . But maybe Foyth will give Serge a run for his money

 

[gushayes11]

Seriously. He tied the midfield together since he came on

The corners fella. The corners.

 

[Humbleone]

At least Jose recognised a system that wasn’t working and changed it at half time with 2 subs that impacted the game...

We probably would have never got that with Poch, not until the 79th min anyhow

Is it his cunning plan to start slow and with systems that ostensibly do not work so that he can massage his saviour complex with the half time team talk? Just a joke

 

[martinj]

Aurier pants.
Foyt skillful liability.
Eriksen still can't take a corner.
Sessegnon. Don't see what he adds to the team. A winger who doesn't go past anyone on the wing and doesn't cross the ball.
Jan past it.

Ndombele looked very good except when Eriksen body-checked him. Gliding past opposition like his near namesake.
Lo Celso very positive but no cigar.
Dele good in patches but amazing how many attacks peter out when he tries an outrageous flick or runs out of play.
Toby solid. Should try more quarterback passes.
Lamela still thinks he is Maradona. He isn't quite that good so often looses the ball when he tries one trick too many.
Later on we dominated play and controlled the midfield (easier with Tettey off), passed well but couldn't penetrate as we had no decent crosses and hardly any good passes into the box.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Thought NDombele was decent in the end and Sessegnon looked really good at LB

 

[dagraham]

City lost there...

Were they rock bottom of the league when they lost there?

 

[ardiles]

Ndombele is my MOTM today

 

[OPModric]

You little fucking hypocrite. You applauded it when you saw team news

I appaluded too but stopped when I saw three CBs.

 

[paulcumpstone]

Decent performance in the 2nd half, no ide why the team cant turn up before then. The defence looks a shambles, we desperately need two full backs.
Thought we dominated 2nd half but didnt quite make it tell, sess was poor, hid from a few challenges and very reluctant to attack the space or with the ball. For me we didnt win the game mainly because we were so dreadful out wide at both ends of the pitch.
