Match PSG v Tottenham Hotspur Wednesday 8pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Not necessary. Obviously I would have loved a better result but don't think we were disgraced or embarrassed, they're just a better team than us.
It was great to see some proper football tonight and it wasn't all from PSG. It was a touch 'men against boys', and it didn't help that one of our more experienced players decided to have a brain fart for their third goal.
I definitely got money's worth so can't complain too much.
Here here Mrs P. Like everyone I was utterly disgusted by the performance at the weekend (as I was against Chelsea).

Tonight was far from perfect but there were reasons to be cheerful / optimistic. How we surrendered was frustrating, but we gave the CL holders a very decent game on their home patch.

Apply ourselves in that way Saturday we should get a result.

Hope you had some good food....safe trip home...
 
The guy is so out of his element it's ridiculous. It'll all be over soon though thankfully and we can put this behind us.
So what exactly did Frank get wrong tonight then?

We looked good in transition, dangerous on the counter, scored some beautiful goals and lost to individual mistakes that had fuck all to do with tactics or shape cost us.

Are you seriously going to blame Frank for Romero's rashness or Sarr's faffing about in the box on a corner?

The shape was generally good until Romero did Romero things and then our heads dropped but before that we were playing really well and the system was working.

You do my fucking head in. You made your mind up from minute one about Frank and you're intent on moaning every chance you get.

Fucking jog on you're boring.
 
Youre completely right.

We can only hope that we get through this cycle, and start making correct decisions that can impact us positively in the long term such as better recruitment, and becoming more competitive in derbies.

It wasnt long ago we were finishing above Pool/Woolwich for some years consistently, and whilst short, I think its an example of how clubs, especially of our stature can go through good and bad cycles.

But as you have listed, whatever decisions we are making now, they are certainly not drifting this club into the positive direction necessary to succeed.
Until everything changes, nothing changes.
 
Must admit I always feel embarrassed when we lose to Woolwich like we did on sunday. Legohead has spent a billion and behaves like benny hill on the touchline. We fought tonight v psg the European champions. As long as fight for shirt I'm happy.
 
You have no patience, you want instant success.

I hope it's not going to over soon, coz shit fans like you will be on the next managers back, if he doesn't start performing to your unrealistic expectations.

Shit fan syndrome... Bane of modern football.
Jesus man. I've said a billion times I'm not looking for success. 8th was the absolute ceiling as far as I was concerned, that's hardly successful.

After weeks of shite tactics, terrible team selections, puzzling subs, dreadful football, shite everywhere on the pitch with 20/30 mins here and there that are okay, is not good enough.

Shit fans are the toxic positivity oddballs, who get served up shite and thank the club for it. The cultists like you who are immovable and laughable in their defence for a coach who has no ties to us, but seems to get a special pass.

If you can't look at how bad it is here at face value, then you're an idiot and a shit fan. You and your little minions were laughing at me weeks ago when I said I was worried about what we were seeing, now most of them have wised up, and laughing at you and your odd club, who go on like deranged people.

Keep up the comedy routine though, it's pretty entertaining. Imagine get beat, again, and you all have your chests out like we actually did something.

Sad to see how low our standards are here.

For what reason is that a performance to be proud of?

Our application resulted in our biggest loss of the season, and it would have been worse if not for one PSG player!

We conceded five goals FFS

:wall:
Offensively light years better than recent. Pressing and attacking presence much improved. Counter attacks much quicker. Defence needs a ton of work, sure, but we showed we have much more quality than we've been showing recently in midfield and attack.
 
Worth remembering that PSG beat Manchester City, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Woolwich last season with much the same squad to win CL in May.

So don't understand some posters view that we should have won - sure a number of poor individual errors from the likes of Romero, Bentancur and Sarr but PSG were fortunate to be level at HT and we were probably better overall for the first hour.

So its nothing like our performance last Sunday - and its just lazy or agenda driven to conflate the 2 matches
 
🤣

Pathetic. Why are people like you so fecking boring and shit to debate with..?

Why leave out the word, some?

Why ignore all good stuff that did happen?

Just shit fans, being shit fans.

You just can't handle it I am taking the good with the bad.

Can you honestly say that everything was bad tonight?

The build up to the first goal was shit was it?

Exactly. Pathetic fan base.
Couldnt agree more.
It either has to be terrible or unbelievably good. Sunday was bad but tonight was a lot better. Obviously the green shoots are not worth a shit unless backed up sat evening.
But it seems a lot of people here be more than happy to see us lose sat evening to say i told you so
 
Well that was different! Went out swinging, fun game and looked good for an hour.
Stupid mistakes for the goals really let us down and that’s not on the manager who se t out a team to combat PSG.
If it wasn’t for those stupid mistakes we would have got something.
I’m very encouraged to see us actually have a go at a good team and play Berg Gray and Sarr especially.

Now do not return to a double pivot of doom on Saturday, deal with Fulham and get some confidence into this team.
100%

If your expectation was a lowly 8th then why were you such a moaning cunt when Frank had us in a 4th like 2 weeks ago with a win taking us to 2nd?

It's got nothing to do with being happy with low standards, We all want to see success and nobody is happy right now, but its just about applying a bit of common sense and giving a manager time to build a team.

He's had about 20 games.....

Jesus wept.
 
Especially with it being weak at the top now. If we had decent owners with ambition it could be us instead of them at the top.
Not to mention their lack of ambition costing us Kane too. Got rid of levy but still have ENIC as the final hurdle if we are to be successful
Wait until January..then we'll see exactly where we're going...

You do my fucking head in. You made your mind up from minute one about Frank and you're intent on moaning every chance you get.

Fucking jog on you're boring.
Shape was better. Not playing fucking Palinha was a good step, because he is dreadful. Subs first and foremost. Clear to see we were wavering after the first half, we got a goal out of nowhere, but subs should've come on earlier. And who does he put on? Fucking Palinha, and waits til the 82nd minute to bring on the attacking subs. That's exactly how you chase a game right there.

It's not even like we were fantastic either. We had a decent shape for a bit, but the first half, they were in first gear, we're just used to being to subjected to the worst football seen, that you and the rest of the cult get hard over not shipping 3 or 4 in a half.

Our best player has a bad game and it's "Romero things". So you're allowed to criticise the players, but criticising our useless coach is over the line? Fucking hypocrites you idiots.

You do my head in too, so at least it's mutual my friend. I'd tell you to jog, but I don't think it'd end well with that high blood pressure of yours, seeing how angry you always are. Go outside and have a nice walk.
