But Ange wanted Johnson I presume, that one is on him.
Mancity and Newcastle 2 losses so that makes 5 in a row, where could that put us? Don’t see us winning a game until players return
First team since 2014 to lose 3 games in a row in which they had been winning.
Most on here wanted Johnson before Ange came, everyone thought he was a brilliant up coming player.
I do think this one has been unusually harsh though.
That Chelsea game utterly fucked us. And we’ve lost Pape during international friendly and Bentancur again.
Got Wet Spam to play between those two games too.
That seems to be a theme. A lot of games even with our first 11 we let teams come bs k. Palace and Fulham come to mind. Even Bournemouth I think had a some late chances. Who just beat SU away. Just not clicking at the moment. Said to guy next to me it looked one of those days it just wasn’t gonna happen. Even our goal to a nice little deflection .
Maybe mate, but if this was going to happen to a club, you could bet your house on it being spurs to be derailed.
It's so bad it's laughable.
They will raise their game against us, the other two will turn us over with ease.
Johnson looks good.
In the first half (when I wrote the post) he was very good. Was getting into good positions, got past Digne twice and created opportunities from which we should've scored, and was a good presence overall. He fell off in the 2nd I agree, but I think that was due to him being tired.
Yep. It’s like it sucked the life out of us
Yes I remember seeing people rave on about him, I didn't really rate him so said nothing and rolled with the status quo.
On the way home from WHL and have this to offer:
Outside the ground felt flat - like a fan base with the wind taken out of their sails. Team selection was surprising - I think I predicted at the time a cricket score either way. Atmosphere was the most downbeat and quiet this season (maybe someone else might have a different opinion).
Some of the football Spurs played 1st half was outstanding. Felt like it was just a case of putting one of the first few chances away and we’d be off to the races. By the time we’d fluffed our 4th and 5th chance I felt like I’d read this script many times before. Predicted a defeat at HT as Villa couldn’t be that poor 2nd half and I thought we’d drop off.
I’m back to thinking that this sodding club is cursed again. The injuries and suspensions alongside the Spursy fragility and predictability is frankly depressing.
We’ll get ironed out in Manchester next Sunday, then we are looking at 4 defeats in a row with West Ham looking to make it 5 next week.
To end on a positive, the football was exhilarating at times. GLC had a very good game. Porro and Udogie all over the show (in a largely good way), Bentancur running things. It clicks (albeit for 45-60 mins) almost every week, just have to look back over the last 3 games to see where points have been lost (yes Romero I’m looking at you…)

I reserve judgement mate I don't see it.
No
t sure why Gil is getting some strong criticism ? First start of the season. He held the ball well and was available for a pass on the left. He chased and pressed and made some nice little runs. Now compare with the effort Johnson put in. I wasn’t keen on his signing and so far I have not seen anything to justify his fee. Exactly what is his main skill set? I don’t think I’ve seen him take on and beat a player once., keep repeating his lack of effort is the worry. He never tracks back or even runs around to press.,
Definitely noticeable from watching on the TV.
Didn’t even seem like many joined in with ‘Oh When The Spurs’ before the game, which surprised me.
Could be a combo of the sad passing of Terry Venables, and it being a Sunday game?
It's the high line come what may that's the problem.
