That team in 2016/17 is great. Not in 2013/14.
Lloris is one of the best 'keepers in the World mate, his errors are no worse than other 'keepers at his level, they all make mistakes the difference is the oppo haven't scored from them so the stat doesn't get trotted out in the media. Did you see Edesson at the weekend? He does this every week, but his errors we finally punished. Allisson also got lucky again with Milner bailing him out clearing the ball off the line. The issue is we concede far too many shots on our goal, Lloris, as a consequence has, is by far the busier 'keeper. He's the best shot-stopper in Europe both in actual shots faced and perhaps more importantly bassed on XG (quality of shots faced).
This is a tactical and team organisation issue. If you allow so many attacks against you it stands to reason that at some point an error will be committed. This isn't sustainable.
Hugo is gash as evidenced by tonight display and I don’t give a fuck how many charts you produce deflecting the blame but he’s the best we’ve got
Nice.
After how many years?
e
he's not even the cool dino in that pic...
Our defence was always shit this year. The midfield was lightweight from day 1.
Now we have no strikers.
A few months after a champions league final. How many of them have you watched spurs in?
We had better players under Sugar!
I imagine Jose will do the same.
Out with the guys who don't fit and the summer to implement the system he wants to run.
Without Champions League he'll probably be required to sell in order to buy, as I can't imagine there will be much transfer money available.
Mate I genuinely hope you’re right, but unless there’s a break clause in the contract I’d imagine there’s no chance he gets the boot.
But hey what do I know. I maintained for ages there was no chance Levy was dumb enough to sack the best manager he’s ever employed but he went and did it, so maybe he’ll now prove me wrong again.
I don’t know and really don’t care anymore at this point. With the mess we’re in it’s all immaterial anyway.
Cut his losses and do what?
Sack him? Then who do we hire? Who’s going to turn this shit show round?
I’d fucking love to have Nagelsman as our manager. But, before that, I’d rather have their scouting network and recruitment strategy and a bunch of highly talented, fucking quick players under the age of 24.
There is not a human being currently on planet earth that can turn Aurier into a RB that can actually defend. And, for the record, I quite like Serge. But he’s shit at defending.
AVBs team finished with more points than any of Redknapps.
Next you'll tell me AVB had a better squad than the one involving King, van der Vaart, Modric, Bale, Parker, Walker etc.
Even still, would've thought the Special One with his renowned pragmatism would have made us more solid by now. Individual cock-ups don't help, but he hasn't done well enough in this regard. I could handle lack of goals but get some shit 0-0s, the odd 1-0 win at least.
That's Mourinho's fault?
