Match Tottenham vs Elfsborg - January 30th at 08:00pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I don’t want to sound too critical after a win, but for the most part this was one of those “all bark no bite” matches against low block teams that has been the norm for the majority of the last 18 months. Besieging the opponent inside their own half doesn’t mean much if it doesn't lead to chances, which we struggle with regardless of who we play. These lot couldn’t string three passes together all night, they were not even Championship level. Yet to break the deadlock we were almost entirely reliant on wingers delivering pinpoint balls against a set defense. There’s nothing sustainable about this, as the dry spell we've been going through in the league shows. Nor will everything be alright once Romero, VdV or any other player returns.

Ange getting found out is the biggest cliche at this point, but under him I feel like our game becomes even more repetitive and duller as time passes. Our attacking patterns lack imagination and creativity. In fact in terms of how much we cross the ball we look like an old school team, the only difference being that it's low crosses that we spam.
I'll bet you're fun at a party.

You're not an undertaker, by any chance?
 
Honestly, it games like last night that drag you back in and give you hope again. 3 academy lads from around the area scoring on a European night to see us qualify. Couldn't be prouder of them.
 
Just back home now Kent with a Chimey Blue.
Firstly great to meet Nutter-Naylor Nutter-Naylor Spurshaker Spurshaker Shades Shades East Mid Yid East Mid Yid & Wellsey Wellsey sorry to gave missed Mrs Perryman Mrs Perryman
Dull first half but much betterfter the break. Really pleased for the kids. Good changes by Ange. Thought they were poor but well organised at the back and tired second half. Good fans
Onwards, COYS
Lucky to have missed Mrs Perryman Mrs Perryman

Fixed that for you

Why we are spending £50M on a 19 yr old is beyond me. We already a few wide players. We either get proven players or get a CD/FB or CM. Not sure we need Tel. His numbers arnt great. Happy to be proven wrong but BM letting him go at 19 may say it all.
His numbers aren't great? He has more than one goal contribution per 90 and he's 19! He's a huge talent and can play anywhere across the frontline...

As lovely as it was to watch:

Moore had been getting minutes before he got ill.
Scarlett was out on loan.
...And Ajayi wasn't exactly being screamed for by the fans.

...................This trio weren't gonna prevent our injury crisis.

I think you just have to see how the fans on this thread reacted to Scarlett coming on to see JUST HOW WRONG YOU ARE:

Scarlett???

Fucking hell this is so random.

And people laughed when we said he'd be recalled as our new striker!

How the fuck Scarlett came on but not Lankshear.

Dane fucking Scarlett who couldn't get a game for Oxford...

My God Levy what have you done to this club, we were a top four outfit...

Clueless manager. All there really is to say.

Now we bring on our master stroke, Dane Scarlett !! God help us !!

We really are complete idiots.

Lol this club is pathetic. Who were the people telling us he was coming back to go on loan and to stop melting. Those people are so fucking gullible it's horrific.


The evidence is overwhelming. TFC has been banging the door down with enthusiasm for Ange to play the kids.

Just look at the Ajayi thread - which was created 10 minutes after he scored! :D
