Match Chelsea fuckwits (H) - 1st November, 530KO

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

He said in post match pc he will need to review why the game panned out like it did. He said theyd prep for press. Wdf could he not see after 20 mins of the game. We could all see what our tactic was and we could see what they were doing. Won every first and 2nd ball and pressed high up. We sat back and let their players have 5 yards space betw them and nearest spurs player.
If our plan was to press yesterday then I saw absolutely zero evidence that the players were actually trying to press.

There was no pressing from us at all.....just a collective sit back and invite them onto us.
 
I’m confused. Does this make you a shit fan?
Oh, your trying to defend those shit fans, for attacking players, for things they didn't do, or giving them no time to adapt, or those crying like babies because their unrealistic aren't being met, and now you want to be, coz I put up a list of players, who are mediocre at best, who should have left the club already, or should never have been brought in the first place.

Or calling for the managers head, despite the fact that no manager was ever going to sort the mess out in the time Frank has had.

Nah,
 
What disappointed me the most was how passive we were in possession, as there were times they lost the ball and weren't in shape, and some players decided to pass back or not pass quick enough.
Maybe there is a mental fragility now due to our awful record at home, and against Chelski but its probably not that - the overall quality of the squad is nowhere near good enough to win consistently.
Momentum swung when Bergvall went off and we had to play with 10 for a minute, and the story wrote itself after that albeit quite early on.
Missing progressive passers like Maddison, and a strong body like Kulu has been detrimental.
 
Thing is summer transfer window for me was a big indication of our pecking order. The elite clubs spent early and we were left with leftovers with exception of Kudus who we got early. January we need to capitalise signing players as we are well down queue in summer to sign top quality. We need to get rid of richarlison, danso, dragusin and solanke though. They're not good enough imo.
 
Lots of comments on getting injured players back. IMO ……… I don’t see many saviors coming good. Kulu is strong and holds the ball well, but he’s a bit old and slow. Madders has skill, but has become a flopper. If there’s any hope, it would be with Dom, cause just about anything is an upgrade there.
 
I attended yesterday's game and sat in the North Lower, Block 113, next to the Chelsea contingent.

I was a season ticket holder in the lower Paxton throughout the 90's up until 2008.

Our current vocal support in this part of the ground is disgraceful. Not a patch on what it was.

Read all the crap about making yesterday's game a cauldron of noise. Five minutes into the game and the steward patrolling the steps in block 113 was telling everybody to sit down and making threats about being ejected from the stadium for non compliance.

What on earth is going on at THFC?

The Chelsea supporters just stood throughout the game and took the absolute piss while the Spurs supporters were instructed to sit down and suck it up.

Something needs to be done about the stewarding in this area and the away supporters need to be moved next to the the South Stand if the aim is for Spurs to win home games.

It was an absolute joke from start to finish.

I’d give Dragusin another chance under a decent coach
 
Yeah you did. I get it, and it frustrates me too. But in my opinion, we have so many more pressing problems to sort out other than a GK who often saves us from severe beatings. Vic is fine for now, and in some games has shown a bit of improvement on his distribution and even command of his box. Would like more improvement of course, but let's face it, if Vic is injured we are in grave trouble.
Can't argue with that although you get the same return of points whenever you lose regardless of goals conceded.

Vic might not be the main cause of our problems but he's certainly part of them and yesterday's collective effort was unacceptable....to hear those chavvy fuckers laughing at Vic's effort to get us upfield only to kick it out of play was the camel 🐫 for me hence the unfair and possible ott critique.
