Tottenham v Bournmouth (30.11.19) (3pm)

[Darnswim]

...and 10 points off 18th :mourbringit:

We're back as a mid-table side aren't we

 

[Herclueless]

It wasn't the defence that started the rot - it was Ndombele.
I thought we held on quite well at 3-1 and I don't know where 6 mins ET came from. The 6 mins was up before they scored goal 2 so why was there extra extra time played?

You realise extra time is a minimum of whatever the board says right?

 

[Marst0n]

Wtf that's nuts

 

[Nikesh]

Closer than it should have been. But it's another great 3 points, so let's focus on that.

And Chelsea lost!

 

[sammyspurs]

Dier's been 'growing' into a lot of things like new pants and XL kits. Get that fat bastard on a diet and perhaps he won't be growing roots in the MF anymore.

Until we can sign a replacement he plays
The more he plays the better he will get.
The team needs a DM.

That’s all there is to it

 

[mummy]

Yeahhhh! Final whistle! We win!

 

[docomospur]

Maybe but he was a good player before the injury issues, maybe we could show a bit of loyalty and give him a chance to try and get back to his best?

He’ll still get matches to prove himself and I hope he can lift his play, but if we have the opportunity to upgrade the position in January or next summer, I hope we do what’s best for the club.

 

[Devanteswing]

I'm convinced that we need two FB's. And a DM. If we can get Levy to open his wallet and buy them, I can see us winning the league next season. It'll take investment and hard work but that's what the game's about. Very happy with 3 points.

I would like big defensive signings too.

I'd love toby and jan today as I loved having the three centre halves on the pitch and I guess that will dictate our transfer policy.

Aurier has been great so if he continues like this maybe we dont need a right back.

Defensive midfield is my worry. Dier is really struggling. I'd love a big nasty bastard in there , ala wanyama in his prime.

 

[MVP]

Mourinho will drill the players to cut out a lot of these issue. Still plainly obvious we need a dynamic DM to partner Ndombele or Winks or whoever is playing the number 8 role. Either that or Dier/Wanyama need to be fixed.

Attack wise I am enjoying it.

We don't have a dynamic DM and won't be buying one any time soon.

 

[Nikesh]

Wtf that's nuts

Yeah! We won two league games in a row!!

 

[Darnswim]

Wtf that's nuts

Fake an injury at the 73rd minute, make the ref give only 4 minutes of extra time. Problem solved

 

[sammyspurs]

I certainly had it in mind that it could be 3-3, it nearly was.

But it wasn’t 3-3 because we had Jan at LB and not Danny Rose

Management

 

[Steve007]

Wtf that's nuts

Wow. That's unreal...

 

[Maccer]

We wasted masses of chances but that’s my point.
Goal disallowed, penalty waved away and loads of chances missed by Son and Dele
Realistically should have had 5, but if everything went in we’d have had 8

Their best chances were 30 yarders, a free kick and a 95th minute gift.

3-2 didn’t reflect the game, same as last week

You're right , same as last week 3-2 is no reflection.

We really must put teams to the sword when winning and not fuck about trying to score the perfect goal or play the worldy pass.

 

[Nikesh]

We could have won this 5-0, instead we nearly drew it 3-3, we need to sort our defending out but more importantly, our mentality, it's been in a rot for way too long before Mourinho got here, should have never left it so long to change manager.

Anyway, a win is a win, happy with that COYS.

That's down to levy not allowing poch to refresh the squad.

I'm convinced that we need two FB's. And a DM. If we can get Levy to open his wallet and buy them, I can see us winning the league next season. It'll take investment and hard work but that's what the game's about. Very happy with 3 points.

Nope, sadly we need a lot more than that. A new GK, CH, RB, LB, DM and supporting striker is the bare minimum

 

[Eli]

3-2 is the new 1 nil for Mourinho.

Or you could look at it and say Sissoko scored the winner

 

[Twoleftfeet]

I’ve always though that Sissoko was the big nasty bastard at the back, it’s just his positioning that is lacking.

 

[StripiestPilot]

Our defenders were not that bad individually, midfield is the key area. Dier and Ndombele need to improve physically but in time they will, Sissoko will always have a limited brain, for now we have to keep scoring goals and winning games.

We’ve scored 10 goals in 3 games and really should have scored more, against West Ham and Bournemouth we had chances for the 4-0. We are clearly moving in the right direction, the tweaks Mou has made have already improved our attack massively. Now we have much more variation in play and don’t just pass it sideways all game. This is without Lamela, Lo Celso or Eriksen even being involved. 6 points behind Chelsea and we are alive, that‘s what matters.

 

[sammyspurs]

That's down to levy not allowing poch to refresh the squad.

So why are we winning games we would have lost a drawn now
