Match Threads Spurs Vs Sporting CP

[Gbspurs]

Which same players?

Of Pochettino’s last squad, the only remaining players are: Lloris, Davies, Dier, Son, and Kane. Davies has been a bit-part player through most of that time, and Dier wasn’t starting for most of Mourinho’s second season.

Moura too tonight with the likes of Sanchez a regular returner. So in reality tonight we have 6 starters out of 11 from a squad so bad it got our best manager in 50 years sacked which also was 3 years ago!

 

[JCRD]

Ok this is funny - we need a goal and Sporting like Newcastle are coming out as if theyre behind

 

[Cavehillspur]

Fuck sake catch it Hugo

 

[Trent Crimm]

Apart from stating the bleeding obvious. Edwards is the creative spark we could use. We are so flat. No dimensions.

 

[LSUY]

Sporting has so much control they look like the PL team playing at home.

 

[sidford]

Being outplayed and out fought at home against a team who are 4th in Portugal. The lows are getting lower in the case of performances

 

[chrisd2k]

Embarrassing how much better technically they are than us.... Sporting Lisbon...

Our players just cough up possession with the smallest of pressure

 

[TEESSIDE1]

When you say WE sent them out loan, who actually did that? No one asked me, I’d have remembered that, so who’s the idiot that did that?

NumbComfortably? ?

Hojbjerg wins it back nicely and then plays a six feet pass straight to their player when two of ours were close by.

Gonna be another long 45 minutes at this rate.

 

[GioW]

The start of this half tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about this team.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

There’s just no energy in the team at all.

Very concerning when you consider there’s no rest to come in the next few weeks.

 

[chrisd2k]

Edwards could get a hattrick here. Wouldn't that be a nice kick in the balls

 

[djhotspur]

Hojberg is having a shocker

 

[daveduvet]

Right second half and I'm going into it with a positive attitude.
COYS!

If it doesn’t work out within the first ten, then I’m off to bed with a picture of poch for company

 

[russyj]

We literally can't keep the ball for 10 seconds.

 

[Nads]

The main problem is central midfield. Hojbjerg and Bentancur don’t want the ball, don’t want to pass and move, don’t want to pass forwards, and only one wants to break the lines. They are both capable so is it that they are scared or that they are being told to play this way?

 

[glacierSpurs]

So boring, wingbacks, cross, wingbacks, cross. Not even trying to find the target.

 

[cjbyid]

Everytime someone receives the ball they instantly look for the pass backwards

 

[Zippy1980]

We really are in the shit ain’t we

 

[felmani26]

Every move seems a real effort for this team right now - nothing seems natural and instinctive
