Match Rennes VS Tottenham Hotspur. Thursday 16th September 17:45 Euro Conf League

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Started off well then just stopped pressing for whatever reason.

I don't know why managers think we can just sit off the ball and defend.
 
Since deservedly going 1 up we've been woeful from back to front.
I was excited after the City game, we had a clear tactic and played with bollocks, speed and skill

In every single game since I haven’t seen one piece of evidence that we are working on an identity or tactic

That City game was obviously just an anomaly due to the incredible atmosphere that day

We are shit

I said on the day, after the first 15 minutes when they could have been 3 or 4 up, they were shit more than were were great.
 
bus-conductor bus-conductor been lying in wait to say something but he is in awe of the tactical masterclass being put on. You know it BC so give credit where it's due.

What are you talking about? Coefficient?

Seriously the coefficient determines how many teams each country can enter not what teams.

This is a joke tournament which belittles the clubs in it and through excess use of resources makes it impossible for competitors to compete in thier respective league ls - I'd say that's fairly obvious.

Wrong with the changes coming to the CL in 2024 Coefficient will decide what teams get in. There will be two spots decided on Coefficient. If we do well here we can almost guarantee one of those teams will be us.

This tournament doesn't belittle anyone. People writing it off are the ones belittling our club and acting like we are above winning trophies.
 
Found myself raging at the tele like a nutjob and then realised its utterly pointless to rage at this squad.

Barring 3-4 players we are mid table side, half of the players playing tonight couldn't get in West Ham sides, some of them wouldn't even get in Wolves.

Pointless raging about it
 
Strong first 15 minutes or so of the half. Then we took the foot off the gas and allowed Rennes into the game. But we finished the half better as well.

We need to be more focused and consistent during the second half and we've got this.

Yeah this. I was really chuffed after that City game but its just a continuation of the last 2 seasons. No real game plan, players always injured, others look unfit, no entertainment.
 
Quite enjoyed that.

Rennes are a good side.

We still clearly have no idea what to do with the ball once we’re in the opposition half. I feel like we haven’t had a clear attacking plan in years. But we’re trying. Lots of huff and puff.

Tanguy started well but he’s struggling with the pace.
