Austin is
Elliot at pool, the goons players , modric wasn’t big, Moore is ok build wise ffs
Austin looks safer than Vicario
He’s not had any impact in the PL at all, compared to Europa. He can’t create space for himself yetElliot at pool, the goons players , modric wasn’t big, Moore is ok build wise ffs
How often do we cut open teams with great one twos or slide rule passes. There is no movement into space and all the players are congested in the middle.Our most intricate plays = angeball = passing 100x before crossing from the byline into someone
His hardly been given a chance compared to an over paid loanee.He’s not had any impact in the PL at all, compared to Europa. He can’t create space for himself yet
May be but he is never in the danger area or makes great runs in the box like say Kane or linekar would.He can finish.... We just don't create for him.
Even the best strikers miss the odd stinker; but I can't recall any from Dom.... That's how lean things are.
Remind what are palace playing for at goons tonight. How bad of them to go there not lie down for them and come away with a draw.At the end of the match they showed the standings with Forest moving into 3rd (23 points up on Spurs). I wondered what it would be like to have meaningful matches at the end of the season.
But that is how they play anyway 0-0 or 0-2 it doesn’t matter. They play on the counter and look for set pieces.If you’re 2 nil up in the first 20 minutes, away from home , against a bigger team ; you’re allowed to defend deeply ; it wins you games , apparently.
I wish we could do that .
We have wasted £120M on two CFs. Throw in Johnson and Wilson best part of £200M. Yet frontline still looks champo level. Just think what we could have got with that money. Also they are all from the EPL / Champo non from abroad.As a backup option.
We desperately need a new CF and a new goalie, the 2 most important positions imo
Ange said wait till we get our players back. It was mainly the 2CBs he was referring to as they were out longest.
I think he lost header to MGW in the middle of the pitch as well.So many good CB pairings in the PL and we have a pair of duffers (watch VDV trying to jump against Wood )
They weren’t and woods hadn’t scored for a while but we can always help
VDV can’t head a ball. Left back or left of a three is his positionI think he lost header to MGW in the middle of the pitch as well.
A high league position should be the minimum requirement.It is but that should be the target and not just a high league position. I know we won the league in 1961 & came 5th last season because it is the latest but could not tell you how many times we have been 2nd, 3rd or 4th etc because it was not memorable. I can tell you each & every one of our cup wins since 1961 & was present at all of them from 1971-1991 inclusive. Those victories far out weighed any league result during that time or since.
Amounts to the same in total I think.Maybe Levy should have paid up for Raya, instead of cheaping out. Classic Levy false economy, save a few mil for an unproven Vicario, follow it up with a panic buy of Kinsky for £12 million.
I didn't come here because of Ange and if I leave that will be because of you and a few others.We'd still have conceded shitty goals due to shitty tactics.
Forest would still have dropped deep.
If Kane did what the idiot coach told him to do, he'd have been stood around waiting for a cut back all match.
Ange is shit.
We are shit because Ange is shit.
If you came here because of Ange, then hopefully you leave because of Ange too.
If you're not just an Aussie who followed Ange to Spurs fan forums, and you're actually a Spurs fan, then you're more than welcome.I didn't come here because of Ange and if I leave that will be because of you and a few others.
we dont - we are still back to that horse-shoe pendulum play with a final lop into the box hoping for a connection or a tap-in.How often do we cut open teams with great one twos or slide rule passes. There is no movement into space and all the players are congested in the middle.
I think it's 12 in total this season. 7 in the Premier League, 3 in Europa, and 2 in the Carabao Cup.
