Match Spurs v Bodo/Glimt (A) - Champions League - Tues 30th Sept - KO: 8pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Front three have been poor but the service to them has been awful. Our midfield is non existent. Bentantcur in a role he cannot play and gives away a silly penno. Bergvail offers nothing defensively and they are strolling past him. Sarr has not had a kick of the ball.
Probably won't but there has to be changes at half time, no point being in this unless you go all out to win your games, esp the easier games.
 
That was worse than pretty much anything Ange served up.

No, the 5-1 aggregate win against the same mob 4 months ago was much worse... :ange-bored: :D


TBF - this was to be expected. Not our best 11, playing in what feels like a meaningless tie, with very depleted forward options - all leads to what we just witnessed. Somehow we've kept it scoreless - and that's what Frank has to rely on this year - our defence keeping clean sheets.

Every chance we go on to nick this and that will be good enough for now...
 
If we'd combined the fees and salaries of Johnson, Odobert and Tel we could have got a top class player. We just fritter so much money on special deals.

I don't hate these players, they're just... Not good enough

I get what you mean butt 1-2 elites player rather than 3-4 average ones then let the kids fill in the depth. Hopefully our recruitment is better in the future.
 
The press is totally non existent

We're just not putting in the effort or desire to win the ball anywhere on the pitch apart from our own penalty area.
Is that the passive game plan tho? Sit deep and soak in the pressure. It's worrying if it is the game plan as we are much better than these! Either that or else the players are already downing tools.

Neither scenario is great!
 
I thought it would take him a while to turn us into Brentford but hes done it in less than 5 months. I've never see a more uninspiring half of football in 40 years watching Spurs. If we dont win tonight and dont beat Leeds at the weekend then time to sound Iraola out because this isn't getting any better even with return of the walking wounded. Frank is totally out of his depth as predicted.
Your posts are consistently bad.

:paraticiwink:
 
Yeah that's the point he's been shite for ages, it's a shame for someone who looked like they could be top level

Exactly. I was thinking the same the other day. He had that period under conte where he looked class, did his ACL whilst in top form and since then he’s largely been either average or rubbish. I just don’t see what he actually excels at nowadays .
 
Absolute cack, cowardly performance from our players. Not one player has played with any personality at all, they are all going through the motions trying not to hurt themselves on this pitch. Playing at walking pace, barely moving.

We need to make a triple sub at HT, Kudus, Palhinha and Simons on.
They just don't care. Will still collect their fat wages and various bonuses. Will still live in huge London mansions, drive big fancy cars, wear expensive clothes etc.

Nobody but the fans gonna hold them accountable and they give zero fuck about us so...
 
We only have one 6 that is Palhinha. Gray and Bentancur plays more like 8’s so the balance is wank.

We don’t have Maddison so can’t run the game and Simons isn’t on

Johnson is a good goalscorer but a shit winger.

Palhinha, Simons and Kudus would fix most of this but it’s a worry we have to use them.
Just need more quality on the pitch to hopefully lift the rest out of their average slumber .
