Everything we did was telegraphed and predictable. We were so vulnerable on the break that you could sense the fear of not wanting to lose the ball.

Sure it's wine?
Second half was much worse.The second half was much better in terms of control until going 2-1 down, that seemed to puncture us completely.
"I thought Angeball was.."Worrying tbh. I've never seen a back 4 and midfield so open. Attacking pattern of play is biggest concern against sides that sit in. Very tippy tappy football. I thought Angeball was play forwards and forwards quickly.
very true. Our passing in attacking play has no sense of danger to it. It's soooo predictable and slow, completely lacking in invention!We are not testing the keeper as much as we should in many games already. All the passes are just useless, making ourselves to tired while opponents reserve their energy to counter. Fucking create more openings to shoot ffs.
It's been another nothing season in a long line out of nothing seasons.Why "laughing stock" - we were a complete mess at the end of last season. This has been a brilliant transition season so far.
Are you one of those kids who think football is just social media banter and you're worried your whatsapp mates will dig you out?
Both are playing poorly at present, it's a toss up who starts.Bentancur has to start ahead of Bissouma, he hasn't had a decent game since Luton months ago
Er... Ange has been at Spurs less than 9 months. So you want him sacked?Fun while it lasted.
Not seen any improvements over the past few months.
Indeed. Can you point me to the Flagellent thread? I feel like I'm needed.Supremely annoying. Did fear we'd be disappointing when it came out both first choice fullbacks weren't fit. Sadly, Royal was at the heart of a couple of shite moments.
Two fucking weeks stewing on this. Forum will be fun.

Nor has Bentancur since his injury thoughBentancur has to start ahead of Bissouma, he hasn't had a decent game since Luton months ago
Only way we can play is if the other team doesn't press us, defends high and leaves plenty spaces in behind. That's when you see Angeball. Unfortunately not many teams afford us that luxury in the PL.Hoybeers cross there sums up our general crossing play. Just hit and hope with no actual thought process and intention behind it
Impossible with a bunch of headless chickensWith Villa & Scum winning that was a disastrous result. No match for 2weeks allowing them to pull away. We need to be able to break down these packed defences.
