What our opponents' fans are saying about us 18/19

[Matthew]

“Things that went against us : offside calls vs West Ham”?

this has to be a troll, theres NO way that can be real! ... but then again...scouse!

 

[Lighty64]

We drew there last season and if Kane put away his first pen would have won it. Have some faith.

this is 1 of the worst statements in FOOTBALL

just because Kane might of put us 2-1 up if he had scored that penalty, no one knows what would of happened afterwards. Liverpool might of gone silly and scored 5 goals after. no one knows what would happen because if we had scored, the ball would of then been in a different place in the next phase

At 1-1 there was only 1 team playing to win the game and that was us. The Kane penalty save gave them a lift and then Salah scored a worldy almost directly after. We 99.9% would have won the game if he put the first penalty away.

Agree to disagree. We would have won the game. We battered them in that match and yet they were the ones that felt hard done by at the end

Throw in FA Cup replay v Derby 3-1 with 10 minutes to go - lose 3-5 AET.

 

[yankspurs]

It seems every time we get talked up as being in the race, we’ve gone and bottled it. This worries me for Sunday. Especially being without Kane and Dele as we’ve onky managed to just scrape by in their absence

 

[Flashspur]

We are fucking shite aren't we...keep saying it over

That's funny because I could have sworn we beat Newcastle this weekend just gone.

 

[dontcallme]

That's funny because I could have sworn we beat Newcastle this weekend just gone.

We get talked about being in a title race, win a bunch of games then when we do lose we are told we are bottling it. People just ignore the victories.

My belief is given the circumstances this season we are slightly behind City and Pool but better than the rest. We can rue games we didn't win but essentially our league position is probably a fair representation of where we should be this season.

1) We have also scraped through games with Harry and or Dele playing - weren't they also both on the pitch vs Wolves and Man U?

2) As long as we keep on getting ourselves back in the race I am happy. We aren't perfect or infallible but we are certainly capable of getting a result when it matters 80-90% of the time, or else we wouldn't be in the race in the firstplace.

So Leicester already have a match thread for us... They seem optimistic...

Thoughts?

Hate to be pessimistic but can see a thumping here

for spuds obvs . . . . .

1-0 win. easy peasy

Since Kane isn't playing its absolutely nailed on that Son will score a goal from outside the area.

Just be nice to score a goal that isn't from a set piece/2nd ball in.

Good time to play Spurs really. They really didn't look that convincing the other day against Newcastle and should still be within Kane and Alli. Would like to think we could get a draw.

I think we will win, Vardy to score.


Ricardo Maguire Evans Chilwell


Hamza Nididi

Teleman

Ghezzal Barnes

Vardy

Get through the first ten minutes without conceding would be a start. Then move on to the more technical parts of the game like scoring.


No Kane thankfully. But, Son will no doubt score.

I'd go:

Schmeichel; Ricardo Evans Maguire Chilwell; Tielemans Ndidi; Barnes Maddison Gray; Iheanacho

I'm frankly fed up of Vardy missing good chances but being untouchable. He's out of form and has been all season, time for someone else to get a proper go.


I expect Tielemans to play instead of Maddison, Albrighton back in for Gray I imagine.

Would also bring Choudhury in for Mendy but not sure Puel will.


Son to score in first 15, we wake up vardy smashes one in, lifts up his top to reveal a middle finger on his undershirt.

Then son crushes our souls in the 92nd minute with a screamer.

Foxestalk meltdown, puel out thread goes insane, stayers get out there bazookas whilst some of us cower in the safehouse thread with kettles on.


A bit like the Man United game I'd have them as favourites but would give us a chance to get something from the game, even a win.

Depends on how things pan out. Hopefully we don't concede in the first 15 again, though the omens don't look good. Would like to see Tielemans play seeing as we are running out of games to see him! Hopefully Barnes starts too as he was great on Sunday.


Apologies for the deleted post, moderators, it was certainly tongue-in-cheek.

Need to keep it tight at the back and let the front line have freedom to flow/express themselves on a big pitch.
Hence would recommend 4-2-3-1 for this one.

Schmeichel
Ricardo Evans Maguire Chilwell
Mendy Ndidi
Albrighton Tielemans Ghezzal
Vardy

Vardy has been poor this season, so understandably people want us to try something new. Unfortunately, despite Vardy being poor he's still far and away our best striker. And to say 'its time for someone else to have a go' and then listing Iheanacho, who's had chance after chance already this season and failed to even look capable just makes no sense whatsoever.

You can't be serious?

I am. Vardys woefully out of form, Iheanacho isn't ever going to get confidence back if he doesn't play more than 5 minute sub appearances while the fans abuse him. Vardy needs dropping, yet again yesterday he missed a very good chance that ultimately cost us points, and if anyone else was missing the chances he was fans would be giving out far more stick. He shouldn't be undroppable.

I'm sorry but your argument would hold more weight if our other striking options werent so inept.

He's had 9 starts. He's only had marginally more pitch time (2 full games worth) than Dan Amartey, who's missed half the season so far with injury. He's not really had plenty of chances, he's had one brief go during September and the start of October.

At least one of Mendy/Ndidi need to be dropped immediately. I'd be interested to see a Hamza/Tielemans pairing, with Hamza as the 'destroyer' and Tielemans the creative force in the middle. Particularly if we open up as much space just outside the box as we did yesterday - I fancy Tielemans to get his first goal for us.

Ghezzal offered more than Gray yesterday so he gets the nod for me, although either would be fine.

As for the bench, Morgan/Soyuncu is a coin flip, I don't expect either to come on. Mendy/Ndidi relegated but keep their spot in the matchday squad. Albrighton back if he's fit, if not someone like Ndukwu can take the spot. Iheanacho and Okazaki offer nothing that other players can't provide, so drop them both. Okazaki shouldn't be on the teamsheet for us again and Iheanacho needs a proper kick up the backside.

No (proper) striker on the bench is a risk, but I'd be reasonably confident Barnes could step up if required, and Gray/Maddison can sort-of play as a stop-gap if needed..

Mate, Iheanacho came on and made more of an impact for them defensively than us offensively.

Iheanacho has played 1162 minutes and he's featured in all but 4 PL games.

They'll probably dominate for 90% of the game hit the bar 5 times, kasper will make 6 world class saves and they'll have 10 near misses, we'll have one counter attack, score a flukey goal and we'll all say what a great match it was and Puel is a genius

I agree 100% we shouldn't hesitate to drop Vardy but this season is a total write off for Iheanacho. His appearances from the bench have taken on this grim air of inevitability - booed on, has a couple of decent touches then does something totally inexplicable that sticks in the memory and, rightly or wrongly, comes to define his performance. If he starts at Spurs the likely outcome is he spends 70 minutes without touching the ball and gets hooked for Vardy. He desperately needs a good pre-season under a new manager or a half/full-season loan somewhere. There is absolutely a player in there somewhere but we won't see it under the current circumstances.

Looking forward to this, way more than the Man Utd game. Really hope we see Youri on the pitch in place of Mendy and hope Barnes starts again. Evans to keep his starting spot over Morgan. Will look a decent team (on paper.)


Unsure when but I do think we'll find that equaliser. Don't even have to mention when their goal is coming.

I'd try and look for positives in Kane's absence but we rolled over for them in December without him so I'm not holding my breath.

Interesting to see criticism of Iheanacho. I remember a fair few people wanting us to buy him.

[jurgen]

The majority of my family that are mainly Spurs, Arsenal and random teams fans (Watford, Leyton Orient, West Ham) don't want us to win it if their team doesn't. My other half doesn't want us to win it and thats from a person who supports Reading.

What a plastic scouser...

there are no certainties in anything in life mate other than being born, and later on dying.

how many times in your life have you witnessed something and couldn't believe it afterwards (2 examples Spurs 3 v Man U 5, Spurs 3 v 10 man Man C 4)

Don’t know why I’m getting involved in this, but you’re ignoring how late on Kane missed his pen - 87th minute. It’s therefore perfectly reasonable to argue that had he scored we would have won. To refer to the 3-5 vs Utd and the 3-4 vs City - where both were archetypal games of two halves - as evidence to the contrary is much more of a reach than to suggest an 87th minute penalty was an opportunity to win the game.
