Match Threads Spurs vs Norwich - Match Thread (FA Cup)

Does this go pens after ET?

Yep

 

[Ossie85]

We would be so much better if we didn't set up for negative football every fucking game.
It's not the lack of striker. It's how we set up ourselves

 

[ikky]

What? The shot was blocked on the line?!?

Yeah fair play, having watched the replay I’ll admit I was harsh on him.

Unleash the Parrot.

 

[Phomesy]

Gonna get ugly if we lose this now. Just because we stood off them so long second half. Everyone with an axe to grind on Mourinho will point at this game as absolute vindication - and its hard to argue otherwise.

Can't stand listening to Warnock et al gloating.

 

[homer hotspur]

Lo Celso is gonna get pissed off if he has to carry this team any longer

He looks it already

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

Dele Alli aint a target man unfortunately. We could do better putting one of our centre backs up there like in the olden days.

More the invisible man than target man

 

[spurslenny]

We have this innate ability to make average teams look epic or out of form teams look like Liverpool.

It's quite incredible really

 

[mrlilywhite]

Unreal - fuck Jose playing a system like we are the bloody underdogs all the time. He really hasn't learnt a thing has he? Also how the fuck is Alli even starting games, let alone being subbed - Absolute toilet! Pointless trying to motivate him - only plays with Kane, otherwise a luxury without talent.

I don’t mean to sound like im being to negative about the whole Mourinho thing and I really do hope he takes us to new places but here’s what I dint get.

For all of those so completely convinced in his ability and the fact that he’s special so why does he need the same things as any other manager I.e. players and time? I’m not naive in thinking he needs a summer but surely if we had taken on such a special manager he must be able to do more than this and not just demand the same as any other manager which is time and players. There’s nothing at present (I get his history) to distinguish him from any other manager

 

[seppo]

You can make a 4th sub in ET right? Get Parrot on you dinasour

 

[felmani26]

Dublin "not a good finish" there from Aurier?!

Bit harsh that, just a great block from Godfrey.

 

[hatch]

Yep

Thanks

 

[slartibartfast]

Gedson has done great since he came on

He's done well and looked the business every time he's played. I dont know wtf Jose is watching to be honest.

 

[oskathegobshite]

Sanchez, Dier, Verts, Tanganga or Toby will be more of a handful for defenders than what we have at the minute.

Didn't Pochettino bring Sanchez on up front for his debut at Wembley against Burnley?

 

[Athenspur]

Oh for the days when we at least had some tactics to rely upon.

 

[Johnny J]

Does this go pens after ET?

No, we'll lose before then.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Unleash the Parrot.

We need a target man, somebody spearheading the attack, we’ve already got Lamela and Gedson playing off the shoulder.

 

[VancouverSpur]

What’s with Jose looking moody on his own and Farke banging out instructions to his players till the last possible moment

 

[mpickard2087]

How can people be puzzled about what happened in the last few minutes?

Prior to that, not even trying to play football. Ultra defensive and just trying to shepherd it to a 1-0 result.

It backfired, so we were forced to play some football and push for a goal.

Not difficult to comprehend.
