Match Woolwich Wanderers vs Tottenham Hotspur FC @ The Dome of Silence, 8PM KO Wed 15 Jan 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Solanke is upfront but we refuse to go long out of principle. Woolwich hoof it to Havertz, even Pep doesn't mind hoofing it up to Haaland and trying to win the second ball. The chance at the end where Porro hit the post, came from Dragusin winning a long ball and knocking it down to Maddison. If we can create that chance chasing the game, why not do it when its 0-0 after 10 minutes? This team playing out form the back creates more chances for the opposition. Its a net loser.

It's like this aussie is trying to prove he is football cultured by refusing to go long.
Thing is how often have we actually played a good possesion game where we have the ball in the oppo half. Most of our poccesion is in our own half with CBs and goalie. Didn’t Toni have one of the highest touches in the game.
 
We were poor all over the pitch. Son had a lucky deflection and was constantly pushed off the ball. Kulu had a good chance you say- then he should have put it away- he was poor and is just too slow I am afraid. We could have been playing all night and would still not have equalised.
Kulu gets knocked off the ball or loses it far too easily. Their 18 yr old FB out muscled him.

Saying you think Moore would be worse than Johnson?
Arnt one of those in denial about our relegation woes anyways?

Moore hasn't played for 3 months and he's not a RW either and whether I'm in denial is besides the point...the point is we are shit and needs points and playing a load of inexperienced kids now like we're some nursery isn't going to help us out.
 
It's no myth about missing half a team, it's a fact? In pre match reports we have normally missed 8-9 players last couple of months.

You may say the subs have been good or better than expected, but crazy to pretend it doesn't matter whether you play first or second string.. Missing Vicario, VdV and Romero among those is isolated a massive loss, and how about team relations when you need to rotate that much?

Many sofa coaches in here with the only expirience from Football manager
So how many mins did oddjob play for us to be counted as being missed. The two CBs are self inflicted bcos the manager tried to save his thin skin.

Moore has played on the right and did ok. Still think might as well play him rather than the shite we continue to play like Werner.
 
They are not our academy players. They were purchased at reasonably high expense. Goons played an 18 yr old from their academy I think.

As I said Moore has just returned from injury and he's not a RW anyway.
Lankshear, why?
Olisesi, why?
Hardy, why?

You said the same about Dorrington, where is he now?
You were saying the same about Devine last season, where is he now?

You seem to have this idea that all our academy players are good enough to play in the Premier League especially for a struggling team like ours, maybe you need to come to the realisation that there's a massive step between the academy and men's football and they're perhaps not good enough to step up and make the grade yet.
