Are you so short on knowledge and experience of what football is all about that you need some number monkey to tell you that we had some cracking chances?

Attack?
Really?

Are you so short on knowledge you can’t discern ?

.....And we were forced to field 3 misfits in MF that most wanted sold in Jan.

+ Sanchez who many also want gone.
+ Sess who most had given up on 2/3 weeks ago.
+ A bunch of them had Covid 10 days ago.
+ We'd barely trained.



Sorry mate; not having it. Stop with the excuses for them. We had it worse.

Mane, Jota, Salah, Firminho, TAA, Robertson, Milner, Keita, Matip, Alison, their fancy new CB who cost a fair few bob....

The only caveat against their XI was Milner (who's still a top pro and a good player) and a 19yr old who's played just as much as (maybe more than) Sessengon this season.

I never said we didn't! They have a much better squad than we do so they can cope with injuries. Just making the point that they were missing their usual midfield yesterday. It was as good as any time to play them this season. But we still had to go out their and perform and we did just that, while also keeping Salah as quiet as I've seen him all season.

Managing people isn't just a matter of telling them what to do, micromanaging them, and criticising everything they achieve. Managing people is about listening to the people that do the job for you, managing their expectations, utilising their best skills and making them feel like a wanted part of the team output.

Everyone trots out the "Form is temporary, class is permanent" mantra - Winks and Alli showed what they are made of, if they are managed properly.

IMHO

Well I think they need to do it over a longer period of time to prove that and not just one game. I'll use Dier as an example he cost us so many goals at the start of this season, but , no question of a doubt since conte has come in proved that he has something to offer and probably put together his best run of form since poch put him in dm for that first half of a season.

I can, I know the difference between asking a question and mounting a personal attack.
You however, appear not to. Either that or we have a big gap between our understanding of what constitutes a personal attack.

If you say anything I disagree with and feel compelled to respond, I'll try to remember to soft soap everything for you. If you are prepared to launch a defence like this on someone else's behalf, heaven only knows how upset you will be if I have the cheek to pass comment on your posts.

Agreed. However, I have always maintained (certainly where Winks is concerned) that his game appeared poor because he was being misused. Maybe that was Alli's problem as well, but his languid style has the effect of appearing lazy and disinterested.

Dier always got accused of being to blame for us conceding goals, even when it wasn't his fault - so much so that Guido posted a lot of detail why people were getting it wrong where he was concerned. Maybe you should look it up and read it.

 

[Mick Cooper]

No-he has run out of batteries for his walkie talkies!

Jesus H Christ, you really are a tit, aren't you?
You really don't take it very well when you get called out for being a lying bullshitter - do you?

why the fuck are you so obsessed with walkie talkies, are you under the impression that anyone who works in telecoms walks around with one?

You really are dim.......... and very, very bitter.

You shouldn't tell lies, then people won't humiliate you for it.

 

[Mick Cooper]

Well just a suggestion then…. You don’t have to impugn someone’s education to ask a question

And soft soap what you want just don’t bring it near me

I didn't question his education.
I just said that I'm not impressed with his football knowledge.
Go into the Harry Winks thread and look at his juvenile comments about someone who plays for Spurs and has represented his country - and was possibly the best player on the field against Liverpool yesterday.

I'm equally unimpressed by people who think that Xg figures are a worthwhile analysis of a football match

 

[RealCoolYid]

The thing is, I bet because of the ridiculous over reaction to this that we have a player unjustly sent off in our next game. It is how things work. I believe them not getting a penalty yesterday was a direct result of their players, especially Salah, intentionally looking for a defender's contact in the box rather than actually being fouled. (Eg. Salah v Villa last week). Refs are fed up being made to look like mugs, giving penalties that shouldn't be one.

I believe it was a penalty but he 100% played for it

That’s why I think it wasn’t given

Yeh ref said as much..... He told Klopp "he stopped in order to initiate contact".

 

[Mick Cooper]

His/her …. Just saying

Mick, the further back the post gets the more comfortable you are entering into revisionist territory

Shoehorning Harry winks into the debate is just odd

Ah - my mistake, if I have mistaken genders, for which I apologise - no offence was intended.
Probably explains the outpouring of anguish though.

I'm not revising anything, I assure you, my (original) comment was based on my dislike of people trying to turn a sport into a hokey division of some science with the farcical Xg quotient

My follow up comment about the posters knowledge was based on seeing multiple asinine comments about Winks in the execrable Harry Winks thread - in amongst many more risible ones

 

[Mick Cooper]

.......And the more he waters down what was an extremely half-baked initial apology.

you need to wind your neck in

I haven't watered anything down, and the apology was for my mistake, which I needed to make.
I see no reason to beg for absolution

Not sure the winks thread should be used as any kind of yardstick regards what’s acceptable


But we’ve probably exhausted this

I thought the original comment was unnecessarily belligerent, you didn’t

No worries

Klopp missed something from his after game rant yesterday he should have been sent to the stands for Dissent.

 

[Shotgunofmichalebrow]

I know it’s a played out trope blaming the poor squad we have but I can’t help but feel if we had Llorente type striker to bring on instead of Moura we would have won the game. We really need more options in the team.

Yeah a Lorente like option called Dusan Vlahovic. Absolutely no one else will do baldy. Make it happen.

 

[Shotgunofmichalebrow]

Skipp won’t get into scoring positions in the box as well as Dele

I'm not sure this is true. I watched him at Norwich and he dose have it in him. As he grows in confidence I see him getting a few goals. I think Conte loves him and despite the shift Dele put in he has a way to go to shift Skipp.

[kolyid]

We had 5 players missing from our starting line-up:

Romero
Reggie
PEH
Skipp
Lucas

They had less first XI players missing, closer to full fitness and had more training over the last 2 weeks than we had.



Please spurs fans.... Stop this nonsense....... Please...... No more of this crap...... Please.........









Please.

The sky sports propaganda against Spurs has been so powerful that spurs fans are starting to believe their lies.

If any Londoners, or near Londoners would like to help me do some science homework it's over in the off topic section.

...it's pretty easy.

Cheers!

Don't know who the fool is but he's bin dived Klopps glasses and got a tribute set of teeth made. Beard next....obviously like that 'fan' Alan partridge had.

A "bloody mentalist" basically!
