Tottenham Hotspur vs The Bottling, Diving, Scummy Woolwich. Sun 28th April, 2:00pm kick-off

[LLB Part Deux]

TBF it's just a total mismatch, Davies vs Saka in acres of open space. He was as nervous about him cutting in on his left as much as he was worried about him heading to the touchline and put in a cross.

Against Saka? Let him cross.

 

[Ealesy]

I see the usual happy clappers have gone into hiding

Hope we play our U21s

with our luck we probably batter them 6-0 with our U21s and Woolwich wins the league on goal diffrence

 

[Shadydan]

While everyone is going over the top screaming and tearing off their skin I'm here agreeing with Dan .
Dark times .

Probably time to take a break until Chelsea game

They will come round, give them a few days

 

[Bazali]

I hate diving, but I bet if Kulu flopped he would have got the pen.

Not from Oliver
Maybe VAR who got our offside goal wrong

No way was Oliver going to let us win that game if he could help it

 

[Notabadsquad]

We looked like we wsre going to get spanked. We showed pride amd moments of coherent play.

I said all week, if we are to lose, make them earn it. They were teetering and just held on..

 

[Deuterz]

Right, but I don't think the 3-0 scoreline was representative at the time either.
I think a lot of football analysis is irrational as it looks at the final scoreline and then work backwards. VdV offside was so marginal that in reality tech can only 'estimate', while the Kulu pen was a 2 goal swing.

They definitely didn't deserve to be 3-0 up, but when you can't handle set pieces you're going to concede set piece goals to the side who are the best at scoring set pieces .. it wasn't some outlier, this was always likely to happen.

Neither team played well. Our goalkeeper can't handle physicality in the box and our forwards are about as menacing as your average kitten. They setup to punish us in certain areas and did so, so nothing to be particularly optimistic about.

 

[Shadydan]

We were shit. Pointless possession play most of the game, couldn't cope with set pieces, conceded to the first decent counter they put together. They were poor all game with Trossard, Partey etc giving it away.

Both teams were bad. We just out bottled them in the key moments. That's not playing well and its not down to 'emotions'. Stale possession isn't playing good football, we were facing a 3-0 defeat AT HOME until they shot themselves in the fucking foot.

Ok

 

[tommyboyspurs]

These idiots will probably win against City, including this genius of a manager

Won the league in our place twice imagine if we handed it to them too spursy

 

[Go on son]

It was nothing.

It was a peno.

 

[Eli]

Hope we play our U21s

No play Maddison, Hojbjerg, Davies & Son City will be fine.

 

[Doom Funk]

we ll beat Man City and hand the prem to Woolwich

We couldn't beat an egg right now

My worry is that city will drop points in another game

 

[VonnegutBusy]

Still emotional, don't worry it's cool I get it - I'll respond to this on Tuesday when you've hopefully calmed down

Must be fun watching football completely devoid of emotion. Riveting stuff!

 

[HotShotTottenham]

Against Saka? Let him cross.

Yes, because the alternative is what happened.

 

[Harrykane9]

Something really going in with the officials this season. How has Oliver not given that pen?

 

[FOK]

Football's all about moments, in general we played okay but we switch off at 2 corners and bang 2 goals.

it's 3-0 after 38 mins, that's not acceptable.

we also don't really create enough chances, we're too slow and ponderous in our decision and we give opp too much time to get men back in behind the ball in two walls of 4 and push us back. it's infuriating.

 

[WinterWarrior]

When they end up bottling it vs Bournemouth at home this will be us...

[Herclueless]

But we were the better side apparently.......

They weren't impressive by any stretch, but we were woeful, no clue on the ball, no clue off it, no clue in defence, no clue up top...

This side is less than the sum of it's parts and I'm sorry but that can only come down to coaching.

Having a philosophy sounds great, but refusing to admit it doesn't work is arrogant and stupid.

If Ange won't work on it and the excuse people are coming out with now is he needs more/better players in the TW then how is he any better than Conte or Mourinho??

If what we're seeing on the pitch is what he's coaching them then he's at fault, if it's not what he's coaching them then it's his fault for allowing it. We've been seeing the same shit for months now. We were better when we had the injuries.

I thought Kulu had a good game today.

 

[Doom Funk]

Pride restored. In the end and despite how controlled and well they played first half, with a striket and a top quality midfielder, we would have pushed them

They are better than us but the gap can be closed with the right signings.

Come on City. On to Chelsea.

Fuck off with pride restored

There is zero pride to be taken from that match

Fuck my.life
