Match Threads Spurs vs Forest

[spursville]

Seriously what in the ginger hell is this random will still manager audition on monday night football!? He has about as much charisma as sol campbell!

Clearly a very green manager, but the examples he gave of how he coaches got me wondering exactly what Ange's coaching team do or don't do.

Sign of the times. I was home and chillin'...and completely forgot Spurs were playing !

First match I've missed in years...Spurs just sliding down my priorities. Used to watch Pressers too.

Dreadful time now, comparable with the George Graham years. I'd love my club back please.

 

[UbeAstard]

Nothing new, no ideas, no creativity, no structure. I don't think I've ever been less enthusiastic about watching Spurs in the 50 years I've supported them. I'd sack Ange now as he brings nothing to us and hasn't for at least a year..

I cant disagree, however its unlikely as I don't think Levy would want the same criticism as the Mourinho one before the cup, the difference is we are the strongest side left in the UEFA cup (though not necessarily the best team if that makes sense).

When we lose at Anfield next week it’ll be 19 losses in 34.

Harrowing.

and it won't be the last

I expect Vic called for it so they left it, only for him to be beaten to it pretty easily by Wood.

That's the only explanation that helps me to understand it

Haven't read the whole thread so sorry if it's been said, but that game last night was crying out for Maddison once we had both strikers on. Now, the fact that he didn't get on tells me that surely he was still carrying an injury from Thursday which begs the question, why even have him on the bench?

If there was no chance of him getting minutes, it really makes me question why Mikey Moore couldn't have taken that spot instead.

Funny it’s not how I saw the game. They got a lucky first. Which the keeper should have done better with. Then the game falls into a pattern that 100% suits the team they are, men behind the ball and keep it tight.
The 2nd was awful from Romero and Vicario. But we dominated the rest of the game, a fitter sharper Richi probably gets at least 2 if not 3 in that game.. I’m firmly in the disappointing result but happy with the performance camp. Yes we could have played better but overall we should have at least got a point. So many on here seem to think we should be playing super sexy attacking football that constantly opens up every team we play whilst also looking like AC Milan in the early 90s at the back.

Don’t mix up dominating, with them letting us have the ball and playing on the break. Ange said our football was outstanding ?. Just as he said about Wolves we don’t normally make individual mistakes.??
We just knocked the ball around and slung in 50 crosses.
For gods sake don’t buy Tel for 45m. Just a show pony. Why no Mikey Moore.

 

[Stamford]

People are far more positive than I thought. Forest got their goals and shut up shop. They didn't need to play anymore.

 

[TonyK]

It had been posted on here by many different people during the Jose, Conte and Nuno days that without HK's goals we would be a bottom half side. Well, here we are folks!

That was the way Forest were always going to play. Especially after the first goal. They pack the box, and sit back to play on the counter. Especially in 2nd half when they added the extra defender, that had to be our approach, we haven’t got the players to break down a packed box with two lines of defence. Especially with Deki not being fit and Maddison not playing. You could argue Maddison should have been bought on. But getting Deki fit and sharp is arguably more important than getting a point.

Forest went 2-0 up and decided to sit on the lead, nothing more.

 

[stormfly]

I would go full circle and get Jose in till the end of the season so he can win us the cup.

 

[noggen]

We'd be silly not to sign him. Versatile with a huge upside.

My point was he's too good to sign for a mediocre Spurs team under Ange. Can't see he wants to sign a contract here. Why would he? We don't pay the wages for class neither.

 

[teedee]

Ha! Glad it’s not just me thinking it!

And me.

While I was at the game I got a text from my cousin asking “what’s happening”. I replied “one team looks like it’s been coached and the other doesn’t “.
