Match Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool | 6 Nov 2022 | KO 16:30 | Second Half Match Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

i just simply dont understand why every game, regardless of whether home or away and regardless of the opposition, we play the same passive counter attacking shit football to start the game. It doesnt make sense. Surely you have to adapt to who you are playing once in a while - and not just when its forced upon us by injuries. I actually LIKE IT when we condede early, as then we have to come out and play a bit. Thats just... weird.

I can’t believe the penny hadn’t dropped with Conte yet. Surely, if he’s such a world class manager, he must see what the rest of us can see. You cannot play with wing backs if you do not have any decent wing backs in your squad. Personally, I think he’s just so stubborn, he refuses to change a system that he’s always played as a manager, regardless if we have the players to do it or not. A decent manager would change the formation to make the best of the squad that he has, not try to put square pegs in a round hole

So. There's people out there with excellent football knowledge: how is royal a better choice than Spence or aurier?

I know conte is an elite manager on £15M yr bit pick royal all the time. Even if he doesn’t rate Soence surely Doh is better? To me it is gross negligence and in any other biz he’d be sacked. Royal was purchased as a rb. What’s strange is that early 2nd half dier was our right and royal more in and we actually looked good. Dier for all his faults is much better on the ball than royal and also has better delivery.

Everyone laying into Emerson and Sess (who, yes, are fucking shit), but where are these fabled Conte patterns of play? These insanely drilled moves that become second nature to players, no matter how limited they are?

Absolute fucking garbage.

There isn’t any mate it’s BS. So called conte pre season as his fan boys kept going on about. His tactics are plain and simple sit back and counter. Then just screw it all up and do whatever. Run around more, actually tackle and press,,be quicker etc. that’s is not coaching patterns of play that is just playing catch-up desparate football!

The only reason we lost today was 2 brain farts. From the same lumbering idiot that stink the place out with brain farts every week.

Take those 2 moments out and we win that game.

I'm getting a little tired of all the rage going towards Conte. Dier has been a useless liability for most of his career at Spurs. We'll always be trying to cover for him which will in some games force us onto the back foot.

That 2nd half was one of the best performances I've seen for a while. We battered them and should really have got something. Take the brain farts out and that may well have been a comfortable win. We weren't actually bad in the first half either.

I heard some dribbling idiot walking away from the ground repeatedly saying "Con-ay sets us up too defensive, what duz ee expect"

How exactly is he setting up defensively?
He has limited fit players to use, started less defenders than the opposition and we played decent stuff having FOURTEEN decent chances.

We are 4th and in the knock out stages of the CL. It's not that embarrssing when you think about it..

Football aside, the comments are utterly embarrassing. It's like the silly Woolwich boys on Twitter.

Dr Tottenham will see you now, that was embarrassing 5 years ago.
