Gent v Tottenham

[Arthur Wensleydale]

The players apparently were keen to play after the poor performance at Anfield.

I take it that they will be fucking keen to play on Sunday, and probably Thursday as well.

We have absolutely no bollocks.

 

[Bill Madrid]

Should be a cracking return leg at Fortress Wembley

 

[Bazali]

We just cant score right now

Problem is we can't defend either!

 

[SoCalSpurs]

Awful performance but we'll batter these at Wembley.

Would you put Goat's money on that?

 

[DeeGee]

And Lamela

Of course, but I doubt he'll be back by Stoke.

 

[Pinkerton 45]

Today's result

 

[Jayc1]

I wrote a pretty long post in the Liverpool thread about why we won't go anywhere with an away form so poor, pointing to Europe as a banana skin.

And to my complete non-surprise, we perform shit away from home, yet again.

Who in that starting 11 can score goals? Kane and Alli. That's it.

Relying on 2 players to win you a game isn't good tactics, it's madness. Son and GKN should have started.

 

[John Thomas]

So if Gent score next week, and they probably will, we'll need 3.
With no decent striker options available to take the game to them.
How fucking pathetic. We deserve better than this

 

[sammyspurs]

Never mind it's only one nil. Hardly a battering.
Thing is we have too many games. Fulham is going to another tough game against a team who will be up for it, playing out of their skin against Tottenham.
Then we have a league game followed by the return leg.

Can't get Vertonghen and Rose back quick enough.

Tonight was the night to give ourselves a break over the next week, but we do this.

Its like the Emperer's New Clothes with us.
Someone needs to go in that dressing and say.
"You are not in the title race. You are not good enough to play around at the back. You are not good enough to not run, and harass teams. You are never going to win anything playing like this, because you are not good enough to play like this.......now go and say sorry to those poor fucking Yids"

 

[Melspurnian]

2-2 against city
4-3 against league 2 wycombe
0-0 against bottom placed sunderland
1-0 win against boro
2-0 loss to liverpool
1-0 loss to gent

Wtf? So vertonghen and rose get injured and we have seemingly completely fallen apart afterwards. We need new CB cover and new LB cover because that says to me that davies isn't good enough, nor are we any good with a back 4 at the moment

 

[Smoked Salmon]

Given our line up, tonight was not nearly good enough in terms of the result. But the performance wasn't the worst and it's hardly a result that means no recovery. So, frankly, not that bothered.

 

[BAE32]

Wow we're a shadow of our former selves at the moment.

 

[chimaira]

Don't be fucking daft. He picked a strong team. The players have been shit. He didn't ask them to play like cunts.

Well I could have picked a strong team too if it's only down to that but i'm sure we would have lost more heavily... the manager needs to motivate the team and have a plan B... Poch clearly didn't do/have that today

 

[Bazali]

Of course, but I doubt he'll be back by Stoke.

Really?

We've really missed him!

 

[Olaf]

Well our champions league performances weren't much better so what the fuck are we playing for??

Champions league spot. We should be trying to win this competition especially as top 4 isn't guaranteed with how we've been playing of late.

 

[LeeMcl]

I've never seen a team so bad at shooting outside the box

Eriksen could do with a "mystery" hip injury and getting out of the squad for a good few months as he's making Townsend look leathal at the moment

 

[sammyspurs]

Do you remember when we had just smashed west brom and we're the best team in the league?

The tragedy is that the players believed it and thought they could walk every game

 

[GaulPascoigne]

Exactly, it's all well and good talking it up, but every fucking year is the same.

this is absolutely embarrassing

I get sometimes we will lose to "lesser" teams but it happens all to often in this competition

 

[Maccer]

Should be a cracking return leg at Fortress Wembley

I really can't bear to think about that.

 

[Jayc1]

Dier gets megged and Davies poor effort at a very straight forward blocking of the ball. Both at fault for the Genk goal. Their miserable week continues.

What do you expect?

We could play Wimmer and Toby, a proven partnership that coped very well last year.

Instead we fuck about playing people out of position, for god knows what reason.

Toby-Dier-Wimmer or Toby-Dier-Davies or Toby-Wimmer-Davies. Yet we don't do any of this.

Time to go back to a back 3.
