Amazing what having a manger wingeing in his interviews and press conferences does to fan perception.
At the very least his header would've been on target, whereas Moura's effort..
Are you actually taking the piss? Leipzig wouldn't defend the box because we had no target man, so they all protected the area outside the box. He set the team decently enough. This loss was neither down to José, nor the players.
We were dominating the later stages so why change it?
This!!!!
I wonder* how they put that team together, with 2 players for each position year after fucking year, on such a low budget. And on the flipside sell them on for so much money. Wow, they really are a well run club. If only we were in the market for a DOF and in some perfect world their Sporting Director was begging to take up a new post...in a new league...in a country where he spent a Uni year learning to appreciate English football...
*actually i don't wonder about any of this. It's Ralf Rangnick and he's gagging to come to the PL but DL would never give up the control necessary even though Rangnick has proven himself able to work within the financial constraints of a non-oil/oligarch budget yet still ID top talent and provide entertaining/winning football seasons after season.
I expect to get fucked in the arse too. I'm a 42 year old arse virgin.
Fight or flight? We all know what he chose.
Big links being made this week of him going to Utd (a pinch of salt and all that as Utd get linked to literally everything that moves, it was Mitchell in the summer).
Leipzig had nothing to worry about because from minute 1 we sat as deep as possible and never made any attempt to put any pressure on them. We played like a championship club away at premier league opposition, 2 banks of 4, long balls into the channels anytime we had possession.
Also why was the Turkish ref allowed to ignore that blatant obstruction off-the-ball when the German player would have had to be sent off for the foul on Lucas Moura? Yet he never hesitated giving the penalty to them. That was a diabolical decision on the obstruction that could have got Spurs a result.
Not all the players i wanted in. In fact, though mostly happy with GLC and Ndom, I would have liked to see names from off the beaten path. Those two were easy and didn't reassure me of our scouting ability...or that any scouting was actually being done.
And beyond those two (was not a fan of the Sessegnon move and had no idea about Clarke) it was numbers in and movement out that we needed...and still do FFS. Our new players are our best players and that's a sad indictment of what was left in the team.

Edmonton has a undeserved reputation. As long as you don't go in the high rises drunk after 1pm
Tottenham to qualify 3/1 at most bookmakers if you are a betting man
- When was he every our furthest player forward?
- Why was he defending on the edge of our box at times and wide left much of the rest of the time?
A: He wasn't played as striker.
We were forced back by an excellent team
