Everton - Spurs - Feb 3rd - 12:30pm KO

[Hampshire Spur]

I would stop supporting tottenham if we had dyce as manager.

 

[LeddersKingers]

Defending set pieces is a worry. As for Romero again having a bozo moment, how many times can this guy be the root cause of conceding goals?

 

[Yiddy]

Genuinely think that if Levy sorts our forward line out we could do something special with this team. They just aren’t good enough

We'll score because we attack a lot but we are nowhere near ruthless enough when we need to be. Not enough potency up front and fuck about with it in front of the opposition when we're dominating.

 

[tommyboyspurs]

One of the best keepers in the league but so so weak on set pieces. That second is even worse. That's his ball to catch, punch all day long

Hugo was the same tbf

 

[Nikesh]

Honestly don’t understand the plaudits he gets.

Was the best of a bad bunch last season but not the level we need to take us forward

Then you honestly don't watch football. Two big injuries and you expect him to be good?

 

[Richard Arlison]

Everton at home are a bloody good team though to be fair. Drew with Villa a few weeks back. Destroyed Newcastle. Smashed Chelsea.

What's frustrating is the late equaliser. It most definitely feels like two points dropped.

Plenty of games left this season and I'm confident we'll get top four. But it's frustrating to concede it so late.

12:30 KO

Away

1 day less rest

Oliver on whistles

All the excuses where there to lose. Dominated most of the game and should have won. Annoying to drop the point but this team is new and needs to learn from these. Put teams away early

 

[Airfixx]

because-and I don't agree with it-Dragusin wants minutes.

Pure fan theory. You have no idea what's being said behind the scenes....

Stop stirring the pot.

 

[glacierSpurs]

Kulu needs to show some form soon too. Forgot about his presence upon coming on.

 

[Allejo10]

After the initial excitement of Angeball, we’ve been playing rubbish for an awful long time now.

Yes and that's sad, it seems that there's a prohibition against good football at the club.

 

[LeddersKingers]

We barely escaped against Brentford because of some good challenges from Romero. Today we didn't deserve anything more than a draw. Fucking fuming.

And now he is back to square one with that dopey header. Was him that triggered the loss to Chelsea with the stupid tackle. He just isnt consistent enough to be a top class centre half. Van Der Ven is the rolls royce centre half in this squad.

 

[yes]

Genuinely think we need to bring in a new first team coach to sort our defence out.

We've got excellent players, but are all over the fucking place at times.

 

[Hampshire Spur]

We didnt lose just pegged back. Looks a dreary depressing groumd everton full of whinging fans. Get the fuck put of there and move on.

 

[scott]

Let's just face it......VAR could put up any old shit that they fancy and everyone just has to accept it.

It looked offside in real time, it looked offside on VAR, but they just put up and old shit line and everyone buys it.

Also it’s random when they choose to pause it. Sometimes it’s just as they are about to pass it, sometimes just as they make contact with the ball & then other times just as the ball is leaving their foot. Depends on the frame they go with too. A not very exact science.

 

[TottenhamAberdeen]

Painful but play poorly and don't lose is important.

Interesting to hear how Postevoglou dissects that.

Need to find that extra bit.

Don't want to hear him coughing and clearing his throat again.

 

[Kaz Hirai]

Even if we'd won that was absolutely shit - again - and conceding late on just confirms that.

Sorry lads but not liking this at the moment, last couple of months performances have been patchy at best and I haven't really enjoyed them. People can make excuses about the players we've had missing but before Xmas we might have been losing games like Villa and West Ham but we were completely dominating and knocking the ball around nicely and playing some really sharp stuff.

Everton x 2, Bournemouth, Brentford the other day, and others in recent weeks we only do stuff in moments, possession play has got really shoddy, we struggle to control and keep the game played in the opponents half and it gets end to end and we're wide open and look really vulnerable. Some days we get away with it, today we didn't.

They've got to knock their heads together and get performances back up to what they were earlier in the season.

Settled midfield helps, 10 or 11 games with bissouma, sarr and maddison really worked well
Bentancur, skipp, hojbjerg, and locelso coming in and out probably hasn't helped

Also inevitable teams have a good look at us now, it's not so much a suprise package

 

[Tottenham Sean]

We were never in it, I'm not entirely sure why anyone ever thought we were.

I know "transition season" gets thrown around all too readily, but this really is. The first post Kane and Lloris season after what, 10 years? We're still comfortably well ahead of where all the usual doom mongers on here had us down to be, especially those who thought we'd be relegation candidates or lower mid table. Our season has been so interrupted by injury, suspension and AFCON/Asian cup that our new team is still yet to gel.

We're doing just fine.

I'lll agree with that.
I think our exceptional start,has got people ahead of themselves.If we had been told in August we would be 4th in February,most would have been pleased or not believed it.

Every teams tactics will be put pressure on vicario on corners and free kicks not because he’s bad at highballs just the refs are so weak on it you can literally jump in to the goalies and get away with it .

 

[Aimson]

We really miss the in form Bissouma from early season.

Yeah it’s still a point & we are well on course for CL which is our ultimate goal.

 

[thinktank]

We should make CL with it being top 5. City, Woolwich & Liverpool battling for the title. Then there is us & villa. Then a big drop to some average teams. It’s very weak again this season. Hence villa being up there.

Vic just needs to learn to be more physical & strong. He should nudge/little pushes on players getting in his way just as the ball is coming in.

Is that guaranteed, now?

If so, then yeah, we'll do it.
