Tottenham vs Barnsley: Super-Duper Bumper XXXL Special Edition League Cup Match Thread Extravaganza

Seriously, is Poch getting anyone ready? Sounds like we could use an injection of Eriksen.

This is all a little bit of a joke.

Pochettino can't keep laughing off/getting pissed off at people discussing our issues at Wembley. We very clearly have a tactical issue with playing at Wembley.

I agree but then again, willfully playing with 10 men from the start does create an issue. Seriously, how in the world does Sissoko continue to get games? And not only that, he's fucking starting games!

That's exactly what he's got to do though. He can't exactly come out and say yes we can't play at Wembley because that will give teams coming here further incentive, he has to defend the players/his tactics

What he does in private is a different matter

 

[ljinko888]

Yep. He needs to seriously consider changing it too.

Missed a trick not getting a good winger in. Should give N'Koudou a chance now. We need to use the whole width of Wembley's pitch.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

15 shots 0 on target.our system really doesnt work.

This is a stat that Poch uses religiously and it really, really winds me up.

We have SO wild shots from outside of the box. It completely renders that particular stat useless.

I disagree. Last season was our first in the champions league under poch. We were inexperienced, and got punished by some quality sides. This season, we haven't had a bad game at Wembley - yet. Results haven't gone our way. They will - so long as we don't panic.

It's showing isn't it.

With Davies/Rose and Aurier both on the pitch it should be okay but when we have that imbalance without them we really need a direct player to make up for it.

 

[km1stry]

Is Winks even playing?

 

[shelfboy68]

Of course, but it is clearly a problem. We are so pedestrian at Wembley.

That is the problem again for the management team on why are they allowing such a ponderous build up play, surely it can't be that hard to quicken it up or is this an instruction from them.

About standard for us against lower league opposition in the league cup

 

[yiddopaul]

Those laughing at Liverpool, lets see who gets the last laugh - we sometimes never learn as fans!

We cant even score against Barnsley for fuck sake!

Seriously....!

You mean like, finishing above them 9 seasons out of 10. When was the last time they won anything.

 

[thebenjamin]

Can't believe this is Barnsley's reserves as well. Will be devastating for confidence if we don't win.

Seriously, is Poch getting anyone ready? Sounds like we could use an injection of Eriksen.

This is the problem though, if he isn't there knitting everything together, and playing about two or three different positions, we have no one with composure and a bit of nous to pick the lock. But he can't be out there very minute of the season.

 

[StevePil]

We need pace in this team, we said it in the summer and we messed up in the window, whatever anyone else says- we needed pace in the summer and Levy fucked Poch over.... we are now paying the consequences, on a big pitch at Wembley with no pace, so easy to defend against.

If we cant even score against Barnsley at home - we can forgot top 6, let alone top 4

 

[Yid-ol]

Is Winks even playing?

61- @trippier2's cross finds @HarryWinks at the back post but his volley is fired straight at Davies.

Spurs 0-0 Barnsley

 

[SonicSarr]

I guess it's 0-0 then

 

[yankspurs]

Looks like its another game crying out for someone like Edwards.

 

[midspur]

Yeeesss...



We've had a shot on target!

 

[hodsgod]

Could be worse, bin dippers going out!
