Match Tottenham Hotspur Vs Wolverhampton Yam Yam Wanderers. (Sat 17th Feb 15:00)

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

One of the most boring games of football I have ever watched - we would actually be fare better giving the ball to Wolves intentionally and forcing them to push players out of their box. All of our best chances have come after a quick turnover of possession.
Didn’t we have the same problem over last few years? Even under conte v low block trans we were shite. Only v high press teams did we occasionally win the ball back and transition. We’ve done better this season by getting the turnover and playing balls down the wings with early cross. Can’t recall many goals from this slow side ways passing build up style.
 
I like Kulusevski, I think Werner and Johnson are ok and may improve, I know Richarlison has scored a rake of goals recently as well but none of these players are working up top in this system long term. Son was crap today too.
We need Salah, Mane level front three players for this to work.
Our defending is absolutely horrendous as well despite having two of the best cbs in the league.
Thoroughly back down the earth last few months and appreciate its early days but we need to improve and fast or United will end up catching us with the run in we have.

I’m thinking we need to pulling out all the stops to avoid Europa league again. 4th is no chance
 
What a disappointment, very little to be positive about, maybe VDV and Vic are exempt from criticism.
Only bright spot was meeting up with Mr and Mrs MemphisWill MemphisWill , Shades Shades , Spurshaker Spurshaker , East Mid Yid East Mid Yid and Wellsey Wellsey before the game.
Hopefully it will be better performance against Palace.
Perhaps a silly question, but having never met anyone from TFC in real life at the ground, at least not knowingly...how do you guys recognise each other? Do you wear your TFC username on the back of your Spurs jersey?🤣

If work allows (🙏🏻), I should be back in N17 soon and would love to put faces to names, share a bevy (or 10) with you folks who partake in such shenanigans. Palace seems rather unlikely, but hoping to make Luton and Forest.

We stand by the brick wall of the Shelf Bar opposite Gate 122, unfortunately I'm a bit on the short side, so I can get lost in the crowd! But apart from my hair now being grey, I still look like my profile picture.
(no I'm not going to update it, unless I get another pic with Mr P - this isn't Tinder!)

Romero too. That there tells us what went wrong today. Keeper and 2 centre backs were our best players. VDV is the one who actually passes the ball with a bit of purpose to a wide player. Romero is more the entice the opposition in type.
Definitely the most disappointed I’ve been this season but I don’t get too high or too low with winning and losing. You can’t be great every week the same as we can’t be poor every week. What today does show is we still have a long way to get to the level of the 3 challengers. I thought we were closer but until we get front players that cause teams problems for large parts of games then we’ll always come up short.
Watching city earlier and they just keep asking questions. They play a similar type of game to us but it’s so much quicker,aggressive and constant and the opposition can’t get settled for any period. That’s where we are trying to get to but with our front 3 today and Johnson and Werner we will never get close to that.
 
FFS

Saw us lose 2-1 at home , miserable weather , miserable game and I’ve just fallen down the fucking stairs and fucked my knee up . They say these bad things come in threes so still got something shit still to happen.Yippee


It really bloody hurts
 
So if Man Utd who most people would agree have been largely shit this season finish above us.

How can anyone claim this has been a good season?

Bad enough finishing below Villa, at least they are having a good season. But finishing below United as well, and out of both cups early doors.

This season is deteriorating into a steaming pile of shit

Okay, but they haven't yet. and while we've not been great this is our first league defeat since Brighton in December. It's annoying waiting two weeks to put today right, but might just serve as that "mini preseason" as some have mentioned to get the likes of Bissouma and Maddison back to speed and hopefully Udogie and Porro back in for Palace.
