Olympiacos vs Tottenham Hotspur (18th September @ 17:55)

[Jenny Talia]

Safe to say that if we continue to play like this in the second half we will be very lucky to come away with a point

If we do the same in the second half wouldn't we win 4-2?

 

[LEGO Boy]

Very poor half from us. Slow, ponderous, many players looking rusty.

Very lucky to have been two up. Sanchez done okay at RB but offering nothing going forward - do not understand the thinking behind it Poch.

Big improvement required 2nd half

 

[PowPowspur]

Awful first 25 mins and we looked so lethargic, but then we bossed the game until their goal. Too much sloppiness when in possession though, and our passing needs sharpening up considerably.

 

[Darnswim]

He's got a point to be fair.

He has a point. That was not the comment to show it...

 

[Maccer]

I never thought clean sheets would become as rare as rocking horse shit under Poch.

 

[Airfixx]

Fucker of a time to concede.:carrollwtf:



Looked like we'd become comfy until then.

 

[Sundowner]

NDombele needs game time to get match fit and to get used to the system but christ he didn’t look good at all. The entire squad looks tired 6 games into the season. Son and sissoko will be first subs guaranteed

 

[Borodin55]

Typical get the stream working in time to see their goal . At least I knew it was coming as the stream is a couple of minutes behind!

Sadly streams are never live but some are very lagging.....sorry Mrs.P.

My word, you fellows do complain a lot.

There, is that better?

 

[Macch]

Sorry - that goal was also on Jan too.

He was stuck in no-mans land

 

[Steed_Train]

We always seem to be a bit shit at the start of the year. It's surprising when we are supposed to have a hardcore fitness regime

 

[Tottenham Sean]

A few of ours look like they are in a coma, but i feel will come good in the 2nd half.
Dele to finally wake up, with a brace.

 

[Radical Rei]

Olympiacos 11 shots to our 3 and yet we're 2-1 up.

 

[Darnswim]

My word, you fellows do complain a lot.

There, is that better?

 

[Airfixx]

Davies you fucking wimp

The same "wimp" that got us on the break for our 2nd by being strong?

 

[Borks]

Playing well but sloppy with the through balls

Ndombele needs to win me over. Obviously early days but not seen any kind of dominance in any of his performances so far.

Can’t tell what type of role he has? Certainly not Dembele or Sissoko in style of play.

His pre-Spurs performances give me enough hope and we obviously wouldn't spend the sort of money we did without being fairly confident he's a top quality player. Lots of Poch signings have taken a while to settle, Lucas for example, so I wouldn't worry too much. It's probably some of the more experienced players that need to be upping their game tonight.

 

[False 9]

Poch looked furious for the whole of the first half, I think he might actually make a HT sub for once. One of Sissoko, Dier or Wanyama has to come on and give some balance to our midfield. Only Winks is trying to protect the back four.

If Poch makes a HT sub i'll let you shag my gf

 

[Clynelish]

Couple of hairdryers needed in that dressing room.

 

[Devanteswing]

Something feels really wrong.

What happened to our press? Why is he playing Sanchez out of position? Eriksen doesn't feel like turning up tonight then, Dele looks a shadow of himself.

I'm worried. This probably isn't the thread for it but we seem to have lost the habit of being aggressive and convincing in games. Now we never know if we're going to turn up.

2-1 fair score at HT. Neither FB has done well.
Both sides will get chances and hopefully we can take ours.
