Tottenham Hotspur v Ajax, Champions League Semi-Final, Tue 30th April

[Billy Bob mate]

100% agree we're not out of it.

But you have to factor in injuries, failing to do so is ignoring a major, predictable risk.

I'm writing about risk management on a national level at the minute Applying it to Spurs, we failed in this regard. That's how any company would see it, and we're always told that football is a business...

Yes agree. But would you factor injuries to every player in a certain position? You can't have endless depth.

I don't disagree that we should have done business. We definitely should have replaced Dembele but it isn't that easy. I'd rather they didn't panic buy and hopefully they'll get class in the summer.

We've been incredibly unlucky with our injuries. I can't remember a worse season for it. It's been freaky.

Since beating Dortmund at home.

LLDWLLWWWLLWLL

W5 D1 L8

Worrying times

This squad needs a serious overhaul and I can't see it happening , pound to a penny we will still see the likes of trippier and wanyama lining up in mid August

 

[Ossie Wembley]

Can't blame Levy because Poch watches Ajax and thinks conceding the midfield to them is a good idea.

Here comes Mick

 

[Don Giovanni]

Gullit and Dessaily on Bein say they have never seen an average, technically inferior midfield incapable of stringing few passes together at this level than Tottenhams.

Gullit giggles and continue to mention how can a PL club with so much resources ends up fielding a player of Wanyama's calibre at this stage of this competition?

Both believe this game is done and dusted.

I feel that is pretty unjust the treatment towards Llorente, he was one of our better players today.

He was okay and we needed him to be very good. My main gripe is his passes were generally crap. But my expectations for him are lower. There are certainly others who deserve far more criticism. Here's looking at you Eriksen and Alli. And Trippier, shockingly bad.

 

[Mick Cooper]

And you’re like the bloke who stands there shouting “awwwww unlucky mate, nearly missed her” to the cunt driver who just mowed down and old lady on a zebra crossing

Sometimes Mick the glass is actually half empty.

Nailed it Sammy
yes - you are one of the posters I meant
It's football, no-one dies

 

[mummy]

Fuck off you maggot

Not even trying to pretend now

Arc had you sussed from day one

Scum

Speaking of maggots, how's your tiny dick these days? Still wrinkly? (this is where you reply 'fuck off you maggot' again, in that imaginative and endearing way you have after half a shandy).

To be fair that just shows how shit Dele was

 

[sammyspurs]

Nailed it Sammy
yes - you are one of the posters I meant

So why bring up accidents and injuries and compare it to people moaning about a game

 

[Kingjewell2017]

To be fair that just shows how shit Dele was

You get a performance out of dele every 6 games

 

[Mrs Perryman]

Just for laughs - who exactly do you think he could have put on the bench to bring 'forward options'. FFS don't people realise there just isn't anyone!

Think all the players we have left at our disposal are on the bench, as it is!

 

[bus-conductor]

Say it

Go on
Say it

We looked a better team with Sissoko on

With Sissoko on we looked a better team

I know we tweeked the formation but he was awesome

Awesome he was

We absolutely did Bazzer, but I think we'd have looked better with Skipp on instead of three fucking centre backs.

He wasn't awesome, he needs to show more and point less, but he was as good anyone out there second half, how's that?

 

[Bazali]

No strikers on bench - crazy!! Jansen should have been included. Taking off Rose was negative.

JANSSEN ISNT REGISTERED
HE CANT PLAY IN CL

Comprende?

 

[B-0-Sspurs]

That could have ended a lot worse. Positives to take from the second half, and with Son to come back it’s far from over. Alli and Eriksen really need to step up. Very poor today.

Agree. Thought Sisokko was immense. Sadly another big match where our two supposed creative players have delivered nothing.

Still it's only half time, we are still in it.

 

[sammyspurs]

You get a performance out of dele every 6 games

I think I’ve missed them all

 

[Doom Funk]

Still 90 minutes left to play in the tie. Fuck me if you think we can’t score at Ajax.

I dont think we can score at hackney marshes in our current state mate
Don't think their keeper had a single save to make tonight , same for fabianski on saturday

 

[mikes01666]

You can't have endless depth.

Of course you can't.

However bringing on two full backs as 'impact subs' when you're chasing the game says it all.

 

[ArcspacE]

So why bring up accidents and injuries and compare it to people moaning about a game

Because he’s a demented old man of 0 relevance in society

Have you cleaned yourself up after that

Getting there

He was quite clearly our best player when he came on

Agree Blakey?
