Spurs v Villa Sunday 26 Nov 2pm

[sudoku]

Cash borderline red in fairness was probably in between a yellow and red but the elbow to Gil was a bad miss. In fairness his mates on VAR must have been sleeping

Very convenient that the VAR was broken. Why wasn't the game stopped until they fixed it?

They checked it

I didn’t see the Gil one. Refs have definitely fucked us since Liverpool but I thought he was ok today.

All the clips been taken down but Villa CB elbowed him in the head. Blatant really.

Apparently wasn't broken when it happened.

Second choice fullbacks starting for us at CB because we went into the season with only 2 CBs was and is a joke also

We need investment in Jan simple as

Do you think we're going to get it? Serious question.

 

[The Dealer]

Press conference Posto said he took a risk not playing a CB but 4 full backs....yup !!

 

[Jenny Talia]

I suggested Emery was a better tactical manager than Posto and I haven't changed my mind.

Today's team talk was a tactical masterclass.
Emery said "let them hit the post a few times lads, and hope they don't go half an inch offside. Matty, you take out their best player with a brutal foul and hope the Ref isn't competent".

Parking the bus is a generalised term. Preserving a lead or point is different. Especially just before half time just preserve what you have. Don't give the ball away, no silly free kicks, waste some time etc. Game management rather than gung ho.

There should not be anything incompatible about playing aggressively and being smart and closing out the half or game.

 

[Yorkshire Yid]

Do you think we're going to get it? Serious question.

I think we will have to sign another CB we only have 2 because it's obvious Ange doesn't rate Dier so I do legit think we will sign a CB I'd expect

 

[Spaniel]

Yet all the teams you mentioned are behind us in the league

Doesn't mean a thing...!

 

[Spaniel]

Johnson is looking like a waste of good money

Far too limited for what was spent on him

Was he an ange choice?

 

[Maureen]

Aspirations of anything significant were pretty much written off after the Chav game.

Losing Maddison, VDV long term fucked us. Romero being a numpty and getting a 3 match ban fucked us.

The reality is that Angeball is great, works a treat and lovely to watch. We just don't have the required quality of players in the final third to make it work at this level, or the squad depth to keep plodding on when we get injuries to key players.

I'm not too fussed though, it sucks but we're in a good place and our future looks bright just as long as our bald overlord gets the chequebook out and backs Ange over the summer.

Chill fellas. Not the end of the world.

Yes we play better football but surely Ange is going to be out smarted in many games where oppo just has to drop off. They know we will just have our CBs passing the ball to each other as we have no real width with FBs and play with inverted wingers who always just come inside or go back. He meefs to have some other coaching tactics if we don’t have Maddison. Let’s face it once the suspended players are back it only leaves mvv a CB and MADDs out. With the money we have spent surely we can still well? We spent nearly £50M on Johnson when we needed to spend else where. We have academy players ripping it up but not get any first team minutes. We can’t keep making exscuses of players being out. Ange and the team have to step up and we also need to start crossing the ball into the box better and also switching the play from wing to wing quicker and better.

 

[Spaniel]

We're you watching the same game?
Arguabley Gil and Lo Celso were our best players?

Argue away....

 

[Spaniel]

Yes it is. The buck stops with the manager, always.

There's a weird, cult-like following for Wee Ange around here and it's embarrassing.

You're wrong. A manager can only get the best out of what he's got. If the whole is lacking, then there are definite limits to what he can achieve. You want him to turn base metals into gold. He's not an alchemist....

 

[Dudski]

In place of who? Most on this board have been crying out for Gil to be given a few gam

He had some good moments and, in some ways, appears to be a better fit to the manager's system.

 

[Kingjewell2017]

Season over don’t care what anyone says.city going to ruin us next week .

Imagine disagreeing with this it will be 5-6 nil next week guarantee it .

 

[Starks]

Press conference Posto said he took a risk not playing a CB but 4 full backs....yup !!

Did you need a press conference to be spoon fed that?

The line up was pretty clear.

 

[Spaniel]

Fucks sake buy 2 strikers in January.

Or even one...

 

[Spaniel]

aye geed een

What's that in English?

 

[mikes01666]

Argue away....

Neither I think had started this season. Both contributed significantly to our press until they both ran out of steam.
Lo Celso scored.
Gill constantly provided a threat down the left and covered well for Udogie when he ended up out of position. Should have scored.
Who do you reckon had better games? Porro , Kulusevski maybe?
