Match Threads RB Leipzig vs Spurs - Match Thread (CL 2nd leg - Round of 16)

[Matthew]

Who cares? People didn't think we would win, so why does it matter if we have 2 shots or 20?

because surely (not so much for us fans at home) but for the fans who traveled youwanna see a Bit of heart? Bit of desire?

Christ. Sometimes I think you're just a troll winding people up, but you are actually serious.

You didn't think we'd win, you don't like anything about us and you call me a troll?

I asked this in the Jose thread but I'll ask it here:

I thought the feeling was we wouldn't win tonight and we'd get turned over - why is everyone losing their shit?

I'm asking it here because have a little look at the poll at the top ...

Always it’s how shit we are. No chance after about 20 minutes is really annoying. And they didn’t play well!

down to the fans to stand up and be counted, only way this shit show will end.

Was thinking of a trip over to a game with the 3 kids before the end of the season. Plus my mate and his son. Trip to the club shop. Food and drinks in the new stadium. Plenty of £££ spent. No fucking chance now. Love this club but Levy ain’t getting another penny out of me until he either backs the manager with proper funds .... or fucks off!!

For fuck sake, Rupesh. What have you done?

Dunno, they made noise all night, I also wasn't aware they were all losing their shit on here now.

Were you in hibernation in the 90's

There was this virus and we weren't allowed out. You kids today have no idea lol

Its not the losing....

Its the bending over and taking it without lube.... its the lack of competetiveness... or perhaps its the lack of backbone in that second half by giving up which was evident. Half hour left? fuckin try.... 20 mins left? bloody try.... Give it all you got but Jose made his first change 10 mins remaining.

Yeah but you didn't think we'd win, you made sure we all knew that in the first 10 pages of this thread haha

Hoddle & Rio fuming with our set-up.

These pundits.. Two early goals from individual errors cost us. We got to them well from the start.

We like to blame the back as 3 when we concede, blame the back as 5 when we couldn't score. Mourinho has been trying to balance the defence with offence but is never enough for many people.

Its knee jerk. But i agree.

I know he deserves next season, but our sqaud, while needing improvement, underperforms.

Though this would come a year down the line with a lucky FA cup.

I dont even want to buy mour players or back him.

Let me Regret this post next year.

Jose has been thrown under the bus with the injuries etc but he’s also thrown himself under the bus with his negative outdated tactics and comments in the media.

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

I think Jose is just doing everything with next season in mind. He knows some of this group are done.

He'll be gone by the summer if we limp home in manner that we are currently experiencing

 

[whitelanefever]

There's no quick fix to this mess, 1 or 2 signings won't be enough, it could take 7-9 player overhaul of squad because this current group have no motivation & look shot

 

[cozzo]

Poch will be back

 

[WhiteStripe]

Poch downed tools because he wanted out. It’s time for the fans to let Levy know what they think about it all.

This **** needs outing.....enough is enough.....

 

[sausage]

150m is a big investment but baldy knows all his signings were either teenagers or 22/23. He knows at the very worst case scenario he would make a miminal loss. Its about buying proven players at their peak (25-27). He will never do that as he cant sell for a profit. If we keep buying championship players like Jack Clarke and Sessegnon our best players (Kane and Son) will leave

You're accusing him of buying players young to sell them, but we haven't done that for any players worth keeping since Bale went. It's a weird flex. Buying players at an older age gives the squad a short shelf life, and the majority were Poch targets with his preference pretty much being to sign and play younger, less established players.

 

[TonyK]

People go on and on about this world class training facility, all its done is give us a load of injured players and bang average youth. Nice bed sheets though....

Lovely big pillows as well apparently!!

 

[max cady]

If you buy a property and do it up and then let it fall to the wayside you will find it will be harder to repair. That is my Tottenham so many times I've seen us rebuild only to see it fall into decline. And so it goes on.

 

[paulcumpstone]

I still cant understand why with 20 minutes to go you don't sub alli, moura and lo celso to rest them for Sunday, the games done as a contest. instead just sits there with a smug smirk on his face.

No one thought we were going to win - but now we're going to be outraged we lost because effort?

Nah, sorry, I just can't get with that.

Not you personally (I have no idea where you stand) but as a whole people have been saying we won't win another game all season ... Well, if that's the case then this isn't shocking.

It's beating a dead horse, but with different sticks.
