Match BOXING DAY BEATDOWN TOTTENHAM AWAY v relegation fodder

[VirginiaSpur]

STRAIGHTEN THIS SHIT OUT BOYS

 

[Super Jan Fan]

It's nice if us to make them feel they have achance in this game but it's time to stop giving them all these chances.

 

[The Dane]

What is going on in our defence?

 

[CH_Spur]

OK, this is hilariously bad.

 

[eddiepunch]

How was that header not 1-1 ?
Leicester are getting so many half chances that they are not exploiting

 

[Melspurnian]

WTF is our defense doing?

Not defending

 

[SydneySpur]

Classic case of scoring too soon. get stuck in ffs

 

[DeeGee]

Nabil, ffs. Thing is his default, backwards, wasn't on he's not used to playing it forward and the only time he should play it square he doesn't.
Lamela has played some awesome passes, which should have resulted in at least 2 goals.

 

[NorseYid]

Danish commentators just used 4-5 minutes discussing how Spurs lack leaders in all areas of the pitch.

Hard to disagree with them

 

[Builder]

Half time can't come soon enough.

 

[VirginiaSpur]

We are way too lax with these one goal leads.

Pressing too slow, passing too slow.

They've gotten complacent.

 

[HeroesAndVillains]

Midfield selling our defence for a penny and both Walker and Rose are off pace.

 

[soups]

so spursy. but not great for my heart

 

[Jayc1]

Defense isn't the issue. Our midfield are giving them too much room; Lamela, Eriksen and Chadli all not tracking back and Bentaleb and Stambouli aren't tackling.

 

[NorseYid]

Our one single biggest defensive problem is that our TWO deep midfielder don't know how to defend the space in front of the back 4 or to track runners coming through.

Indeed. Captain (and captain material) in goal. Vertonghen should be filling the outfield leader role right now, but it doesn't look like he is.

Nabil is very good when we control games, but against good teams who keep attacking us he always goes missing.

He's been that way since his debut.

This half has flown by

These aren't a good team and he's looked shit.

That's not how it works though.

It's not about shouting and organising but also about having the brain to control the tempo of the game and about having the nerves to withstand heavy pressure.

We have too many players who go missing or simply fold
