We have no coordination what so ever in our press. They Wolt let us get a 3 m pass without them coordinated pressing the shit out of us. Ange seems it off his depth.

I just hår ett hem keep your numbers down or steal a point. But we sure as hell won't win this.

Thought we were supposed to be a pressing team. We hardly pressed and let them move the ball back to front without any challenge. Then they have all the time in the world to pick out a player in our box. All the while we have everyone back in our half.

Mate, come on.

Look at the difference in quality between the two sides.

Look at their midfield. Partay Rice and Odegaard are on a different stratosphere to our 3 lads.

They have arguably the best two CB’s in the league at the back, we have an 18 year old midfielder and Dragusin who is just all over the place as ever.
And we have 2 wingers who frankly offer as much threat as two traffic cones. Put Sterling and Trossard in our team and look at the difference (and they’re not even Woolwich’s first choice wingers, Son and Kulusevski are ours!!)

Ange isn’t above criticism obviously. But seriously open your eyes, they are on a completely different level to us quality wise. The fact he has us competing with them is an achievement in itself.

Their forward line isn’t! They had an 18 yr old at FB. We have virtually all our first choice players available. When Richi came on our forward line cost a whopping180M! Let the sink in.

Shit for so many games. No balls from Ange to drop him or sub him off at all. Fucking both of them. I'm not Ange out. But I hate him for his stupid stubborness in having some fixation on players minutes.

Why not give Moore a few minutes not gonna do any worse. Really bugs this manager even when losing still won’t play our academy players. What has he got to lose. If anything looking at how some of the younger and discarded players have performed he may be wise to play a few more. Pisses me off big time! 10 mins for over kulu ain’t gonna break the bank. Said it before he talks all brave and whatever but infact he is safety first really. He only brings his chosen players in like for like subs generally. Never thinks outside the box. Could have put Richi up top with Dom. Give the goons something think about. But what does he do he puts drag up there. Could have given
Lankshear a go up top. Guy is useless!

There is no hiding place in the injury list. Everyone bar Liverpool has had a horrific season in that respect yet we only look at that problem in regard to the “top clubs” . Truth is Spurs have been shipping goals like no tomorrow when Romero and Van Der Ven were fit.

I'm sorry but... like none of this is true?

When Romero got injured against West Ham (with VDV already out after City in League Cup) we'd conceded 11 goals in the league. Same as Gooners and City.

Only Liverpool and Forest had better records.

No teams have suffered anything like the injuries we have in defense. Our season is horrific enough without people like you - so called "Spurs fans" - making up absolute shite.

It doesn't mean Ange is a great coach or whatever fucking shit you are trying to fight against. It's simple facts. Like reality.

Ffs

That last run from Kulu summed up his performance tonight with seconds to go

Gets the ball on the right and has several chances to cross with his right with several of our players in the box but keeps trying to get it on to his left

Fails and passes backwards and we lose the fucker and our last chance to equalise

Fuck off Ange as he’s been doing this all season while otherwise playing well

A decent coach would have concentrated on this facet of his game but no…….

For a supposed quality player that people think is one of the best he loses the ball far too much and far too easily . Do you see kdb lose it as much even MADDs doesn’t. Plus for a big lad he gets shoved off the ball to easily. Never do we seem in control of the ball like you see MADDs , facing forward , head up and looking to make a pass. Sorry but he is not a play maker.

It would be interesting to see what work Kulu has done to improve his right foot. Chris Waddle once said that he practised and practised to get his weaker foot almost as good as his stronger foot. Having an almost total over reliance on his left foot makes his intentions too easy to read

It's not like two of the best players to play the sport were totally one footed or anything :D
