Tottenham v Everton - Sunday September 13, 4:30pm

[Fazz]

It's been the age old excuse...... You can't judge players because they haven't had time to 'gel'

When in reality, most of the time if a player doesn't gel, he's usually just a bit shite.

Wilshere hasn’t been gelling for the last ten years

ndoembele
lo celso/winks holjberg


davies sanchez toby doherty




4-3-3 ndoembele as the roaming mid in the pocket why yu playing him deep and you know he takes risk when passing he is the only one who passes in between the lines everybody else passes to the wings harry not getting the touches he needs dele is not a no 10 when poch played him on the wing interchanging with eriksen he was good but he is not a creator first he is a goal scorer

We played like shite second half before he came on.

Mourinho decided to put Sissoko on as a right midfielder. His thinking behind it was probably that Richarlson was getting space due to Doherty playing so upfield but he shouldn't be thinking defensively against Everton at home ffs.

Sissoko ending up as a right back proves it was a massive error.

Agree with all that but N’Dombelly has to be singled out for an absolute shocker
I was watching him in particular late on and was just was walking around totally disinterested and clearly didn’t want the ball when it was passed to him
Absolute disgrace as Everton aren’t all that

 

[swinbag]

New season, all the Amazon series hype, new signings - all goes straight out the windows when our boneheaded cunt of a manager does something like bring SISSOKO on at fucking half time.

He's absolutely lost it.

 

[kingdawson]

Davies btw was exceptionally bad. Defensively poor and even worse in an attacking sense.

 

[pakistani-spur]

Would take Juande back tbh we might win a league cup

 

[skywalker68]

Because Mourinho told them to play like cunts in the second half I suppose

This team and club just has nothing to offer we should of known better.

Davies btw was exceptionally bad. Defensively poor and even worse in an attacking sense.

When has he ever been good?

 

[TeamSpirit™]

I thought it finished 1-0 rather than the relegation/manager-sacking hammering some are making it out to be.

The kind of statement one makes when the put more stock into the result than the performance. Richarlison has his shooting boots on and it does become that hammering. 1-0 flattered us

 

[ILSpur]

It means he was better than what we brought on

But he wasn't good, so pulling him off and trying something else isn't an error. The timing of our subs were weird and bad though.

 

[BernardMatthews]

I want to die.

Well there is a worldwide pandemic so you might yet get lucky.

 

[MKYid]

The amount of people moaning about transfers and Levy...It's time to realise guys, what happens on the pitch is strictly down to the players and the manager, and no team replaces their entire starting XI in a transfer window, so it's all on those that were on the grass.

 

[TeamSpirit™]

When has he ever been good?

16-18 to be fair.

 

[Thin Lilywhite Duke]

I just said the same, sacked by Christmas if this shit gets served up every week. What a shame, I had high hopes for the season. I hope to god it’s just a bit of an early blip.

Quite. We actually put in some decent performances during the run in and you'd think our players would be refreshed now.

I'm praying that it was in no small part due to the absence of Lo Celso but that still doesn't explain the bizarrely pedestrian way we played for large stretches of the game.

Davies btw was exceptionally bad. Defensively poor and even worse in an attacking sense.

I have gotten so much shit from people when I said Davies should be back up at best.

Worst starter we have by far. He is not good at anything. Can't pass, can't tackle, slow, weak.

If he wasn't left footed he'd be playing in League two.

 

[Bazali]

At the start of the José experiment I was onside. But I can’t watch one more second of football like that, not one more second

Feel exactly the same mate

Totally ruined my weekend and can’t see where we’re going to go now

lower bottom half table

 

[Bill Madrid]

We might be OK their maybe a second wave! Right, right
[/QUOT

As Harry used to say. It was just one of those days...
We’ll come back stronger.

I've lost count of those "one of those days" when we haven't come back stronger.

We’ve had 3 managers who were able to make progress for a while IN SPITE OF ENIC. However they were all failed at crucial moments, and there’s only so much one can do, before it goes pear shaped.

however the manager has to be good and progressive to begin with. This one is not. I don't care for his previous record and reputation. In 2020 he is dusted.

So is it the manager, owners, players or all of the above?
Because you don’t seem to know

 

[JIMINHO]

That was tough to watch. First half was pretty good. Defended well and had some really decent chances, I was confident going into the second half. Second half though was absolute pants. Really really poor. It’s going to be a long season but hey, it’s not about how you start, it’s about how you finish
