Match Super Cup Final - Spurs vs PSG, Weds 13th Aug, 8pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I must have imagined him taking the ball under pressure, keeping it and then playing a through ball for Richi to have strike on goal. Bore off. If you want Johnson to be a starter for us this season you're not wanting us to do well.

You're so weird. When did I ever suggest that?! :roflmao:

I just want him to score or assist. Don't you want that too you fucking psychopath? :roflmao:
 
Highlights we looked organised and quite comfortable in the main.
Tel looks genuinely poor for all the hype. Hes no wunderkind for sure and looks a waste of the money we claim not to have.
Kudus is mustard
Swings n roundabouts.
 
Yeeeah, weren't great but we have to learn to pass the ball around a bit. Just defending all of second half was always going to be risky. Keeping the ball would be the best way of defending - not as demanding as chasing all the time
In order to do that we have to technically good enough player to player. They are leagues ahead of us in that sense. Our press an intensity for 70 mins was all over them, we are never keeping the ball from a team coached to do just that for a long time.
 
I'm as hurt and fukkin pissed off as when we lost the CL 2019 and I wasn't there for this game but I was there for 2019...

We could've done it - we were soo good...

LEVY - Sign some fukking players
FRANK - Don't use inferior subs

Tel/Gray - Look at yourself in a fukkin mirror and bukk the fukk up! young player of the bullshit fukk off...

I'm too emotional...I'm dispossessed...

These 2 need to fukkin get their game back on!
Dude we are all emotional but these are kids…….. give them time, we have seen glimpses of their talent so far. Problem is we are relying on them
 
Seriously? Defensively much more organised, link up plays through the middle were excellent. The movement on the wings was much more in tune and purposeful, I could go on. That was an entirely different approach and one that was actual really suited for the opposition. It gives me good vibes for the season ahead.
Desire too - don't forget desire. We showed desire tonight. It was sadly lacking last season, but it returned tonight. Okay we conceded two late goals and lost the lottery of a penalty shoot-out, but for large parts of the game we wanted it much more than they did. I liked that.

That's down to Frank.
 
Well, that was a bit of a heartbreaker!
I know it was a glorified friendly, but it would have been a great psychological boon to have beaten the current best team in the world and put another trophy in the cabinet.

It's true that PSG haven't had a proper game in a month and that, last time out, they looked exhausted. It's also true that they only got back together again last Wednesday. They are still the world's top team, by a distance, and we could (should!) have won it. I think Frank will learn from this. His handling of the end phase was not good but if he is as clued in as he appears to be, we will be the better for it.

We have a reasonably straightforward challenge in our opening ten games or so in the league. There is no reason for us not to get off to a flyer and reinforce the confidence the squad must have from winning the Europa and coming so close to pulling off an upset this evening. COYS!
 
Bentancur, Palhinha, Sarr and Frank.

That doesn't scream passing football.

Taking off Palhinha when we had our backs against the wall was also strange call.

If winning a trophy was our priority then no doubt Frank fumbled the ball.

If getting 3 points against Burnley is the priority then the subs make sense.

Choose your poison. 🤷‍♂️
 
Really wanna think Tel could be a good long term signing but he just seems absolutely meh in every department to me.

Something that gets me riled up is those pens - why in the name of god is anyone doing that stupid shuffle eyes on the keeper bollocks, just hit the thing hard at a corner - that’s it.
If you miss fair enough but fuck me Tel and even Vitinha with his stupid run up is so ridiculous it boils my blood to see.
Real pity our subs were so poor 🥹
 
Desire too - don't forget desire. We showed desire tonight. It was sadly lacking last season, but it returned tonight. Okay we conceded two late goals and lost the lottery of a penalty shoot-out, but for large parts of the game we wanted it much more than they did. I liked that.

Why do people do this?

Did we not show desire in the Europa League?

Did we throw away a two goal lead in the Europa League?

By making the comparison you just make Frank look bad when we all need to be pulling behind and putting pressure on the club to sign the quality he needs to push us forward.
