Match Threads Norwich vs Spurs - Match Thread

Sess needs to have more ownership ffs too. As a LB in 2nd hf, he never crosses the ball in no matter how much time and space he has. Always passed the ball to Eriksen. Always so scared ffs.

 

[Russ1201]

Worse spurs team in years! No desire terrible full backs, past it centre backs. Slowest build up play iv ever seen, the list goes on. To make it worse that tight twat Levy wont spend a penny!

Seems like the modus operandi now days it to play shit for 45min and then up our game in the second half - sadly not enough today.

We showed some good attacking play after the break and Ndombele was really good as well. Our defense on the other hand.. one huge clown fiesta

 

[mil1lion]

It must suck for our attackers knowing they have the pressure to score more than our defence gives away

 

[bozzaSPUR]

You cannot actually be serious...

I think he is! Yet another educated Spurs fan.

 

[Phil-spur99]

In my opinion these last few weeks have shown that it is the players not Poch. Too many of our “quality” players are trading on what they used to be, not what they’ve done for the last year. The same players are making the same errors costing us goals. A big clear out is needed and I don’t doubt for a second the Jose knows this irrespective of what he says to the press.

 

[Garbob]

Every bloody week these pricks start games off like a practice match

 

[Saoirse]

He's just as terrible defensively but at least he could cross and take a set piece.

Aurier's provided more than Trippier did in that regard in their respective last seasons, and hasn't made quite as many howlers. Neither were anywhere near good enough. Perhaps Trippier was injured and may have recovered, but I don't think selling him was a mistake - not buying a replacement is the issue.

 

[littlemandefoe]

Fucking embarrassing that. Aurier and Eriksen need to get the fuck out of this club. It is absolutely COMICAL they're still involved. I can't find the words to even express how much they DO NOT deserve to play for Tottenham Hotspur. It is disgusting that they even make the match squad.

 

[dondo]

Start Ndombele in the next game and for the foreseeable future. No excuses.

Was very good 2nd half.
Who would you play with him? Sissoko?

 

[Harryson]

I have to agree that Ndombele was very good today

 

[jonnyp]

He was terrible first half, it looked like he was scared and he also received som absolute hospital passes from Aurier which didn't help things. But he bossed it after half time, clearly the best player on the pitch second half.

He wasn't even bad in the first half, he was the only player able to control the ball and do something positive with it when all his team mates looked like they were playing a different sport.

 

[bloodzeed]

Ndombele was my motm was really really good

 

[SugarRay]

Jose could spend 6 months just replaying the game on a loop showing our dumb fuck players how many basic errors they make. Just beyond words how stupid we are and constantly throw games away. Absolutely fuming. Wish dr Tottenham would touch up one of his patients and get struck off ffs

There’s not point, it wouldn’t make any difference. This lot have been making mistakes for years. They aren’t good enough at the top level. Some aren’t good enough for even top 6 anymore.

The only way it’ll get better is if quite a few of them leave the club and are replaced with better players

 

[GarlicBread]

Predictable responses in here again. Disappointing result, but decent performance. Thought Alli, Ndombele and Eriksen were really good.

Definitely need some new fullbacks though, and a proper DM, even though I thought Ndombele did a pretty good job of it to be fair.

Kane very clearly knackered, would be good if we could get someone who we’d be comfortable resting Kane for.

 

[markiespurs]

3rd best squad in the league. All we needed was a better manager than Poch.

Sorted.

We would have lost that under Poch

No way would Poch have changed things at HT like Mourinho did.

 

[karennina]

Sessegnon being competent but doing nothing outstanding really did highlight the howling liability component of Serge's game on the other flank.

 

[olliec]

Lamela was the only bright spark when he came on. That’s the only positive I can take from it so I am happy to see him back.

 

[Deleted member 27995]

That's two different managers with the same squad drawing against the bottom team (at the time) of the prem ... Draw your own conclusions ....

 

[Mr Pink]

No matter who's picked or how we set up there is a fundamental problem with our effort and intensity.

It's just not good enough. Be it under Poch, or now - and to be fair Jose needs time but fuck me how long can this be tolerated.
