Match Threads Spurs vs Olympiacos - Match Thread

[VancouverSpur]

We looked like a pub team for 45mins with the exception of Sanchez. I cannot understand the Eriksen sub as he looks finished at Spurs and a shadow of the player we know he can be.

A few points:

Took Dier off, which was positive.

We seriously lack confidence.

Olympiakos have played really well, anticipating Mourinho's "back to basic" / fledgling tactics.

And, this game is still on.

COYS

Jan for rose please

 

[SonicSarr]

Let’s not act like he should be fixing our defending in less than a week. Hopefully he sees how shit Rose is on the ball and brings on Sess

At least Rose is back there to panic and take a shit touch. Aurier is on the half way line strolling back picking his nose. He's done more to pull our centre backs/Mids out of position than Olympiacos.

 

[Jamturk]

I feel we need another player deeper, I would bring off Moura and bring on Ndombele or Lo Celso.

 

[kaz Hirai]

The Dier Winks midfield again

Christian I'm not too fussed Eriksen on instead of young players who want be here and impress

It's gonna be a long 18 months

Wow. Truly shocking.
Son. Worst game ever in a Spurs shirt.
Gave ball away every time he got it.
Rose. Wtf were you trying to do exactly???
Alli. Gave ball away everytime he got it.
Moura. Gave the ball away everytime he got it.
Second to every fuckin ball.
No urgency at all.
Defensively, Christ wtf was that? Pub team defend better.
I really cant believe what I just saw.
Only good thing is 2nd half cant possibly be as bad as the first, can it?
Did they spend 5hrs in the pub before ko?

Anyone selling their ticket to an away fan should get a clump

Can I do it

 

[mil1lion]

How did we become so unfit? One of our biggest strengths a couple of years ago has become one of our biggest weaknesses. It's not even like we have that old a squad.

Moura experiment, like the Dier one has seemingly been, needs to be put to bed.

He will live on in our folk lore for his hattrick in the CL run but an absolute waste of a space in a XI.

Just can't seem to do it, the goal at the weekend doesn't mask that fact.

Lucas has been way better than Kane, Son and Dele.

 

[RikkiRocket]

I'm confused, eriksen on after all that's been said this week. Should have been glc or nbombele in my honest opinion. Guess that's why I'm not the chosen one ??

On the upside of the sub, at least he knew it wasn't happening and changed it early

think he got Eriksen on before he got too stoned to walk.

 

[midoshairband]

maybe Sessegnon for Rose too

maybe. i wanted Verts to start at LB, to do the davies job from the weekend. Rose has been terrible, but he’s been the same for a year. surely Jose must have seen that.

 

[spurs mental]

Who would have thought losing Ben Davies Saturday would be such a blow ...

I did. Rose has been dreadful since the start of the season.

 

[pedrodelawasp]

If anybody feels in need of a wee giggle have a look at the VAR decision from Real/PSG

 

[TEESSIDE1]

Amidst all of the crapness, Sanchez has been excellent. Gets a lot of stick on here but he’s kept us in the game with his recovery anticipation/pace.

He’s has the most touches too, just shows how shit our central midfield has been.

Think the problems have looked tactical which has caused mental problems as the half has gone on.

 

[Primativ]

Mourinho is doomed to fail here unless he quickly realises that Winks isn’t good enough.

Dier is a shadow of the player that was around three years ago too but Winks has no excuses.

Bringing on Eriksen when we need to chase the game feels like a new low as a spurs fan when we have GLC and NDombele in the bench.

I pray that Mourinho is not so stupid to continue to play Dier or a Winks in CM. I’ve watched Winks play for enough time to know he simply is nowhere near good enough.

We’ve been rank but Winks has been purely shocking.

I like Moura but you are right he is not a week in week out starting player. People get too romantic about just one game. He is a great option to have but not the future as part of a starting eleven.

 

[Wadec]

Personally think Jan is a better sub for Rose than Sess. With no DM we cannot leave two centre backs isolated.

Other sub is a choice of Ndombele for Winks or Lo Celso for Lucas. I would go with Lo Celso personally as they have so many bodies back we are not going to catch them on the break and more composure is needed in the final third.
