Tottenham Hotspur v Wolves (01/03/20) (2pm)

[Dixiefish61]

At least we only lost 2-3 at home to Wolves, this season. Progress. Last season at the first whispers of a title challenge after thrashing Bournemouth on Boxing Day, we went and lost 1-3 at home (well Wembley) to Wolves from 1-0 up. I’m just weary of a lifelong, never ending cycle of going around in circles.

If we are happy enough accepting that we are all screwed

 

[Sparkplugs]

This season is petering out very quickly, all we can hope for now is to finish as high as possible (hopefully some sort of European football) and make it to the summer and have a PROPER rebuild!!

 

[Trojanhorse]

There are a core of players who play 9-10 of our games and are just as crap every time

That would be Winks, Dele, Aurier

So blame them when they actually fail, not when they happen to have a decent game?

 

[Notabadsquad]

hes a sitting duck. He has nothing available to change our fortunes

Mate, Pochetinno had to go. Mourinho was brought in. I did not expect miracles but I did expect improvement.

Of course the squad is limited. No additions up front in January. Extraordinary.

But this is one of the best managers in history and whilst he is better than the departing Pochettino it ain't by much.

Sitting duck is the wrong term I feel. Disappointment far more accurate.

Listen I think he is going to get the summer to show he still has the passion and quality but I would give him no more than a 5 out 10 chance of getting us into the top 4 next season.

We are slipping comfortably into mediocrity and scare nobody.

Stannin' for Dier whilst trashing Ndombele is a wild world to be living in, brah. lol

3M Dier at the tail end of his career at a top 6 club?
He was poor at times, and very good at times.
Ndombele is just a fat shit blob that cost more than Son and Moura combined and isn’t fit to look at Sissokos boots let alone lace them

 

[Airfixx]

Meh. VAR.

Seemingly absent for our game.... Comms seemed pretty convinced it was a pen for a push on Lucas but no review at all.

Its poches team minus kane and son. What do you expect? You are actually asking for miracles

 

[Oracle]

Ultra negative and also ridiculous goals conceded. Not fun to watch and 0 points great combo.

 

[thinktank]

It doesn't matter what Jose trains into our defenders - they can't deliver.

Overhaul + seriously consider replacing Sanchez, as well.

 

[Cranston]

We should sell Dele. We might be able to get £40 million out of a side that see him as a luxury sub.

 

[TottenhamtillIDie]

Alderweireld responsible for 3 goals in the previous 2 EPL games so.....

So is JT, 1 vs Chelsea and 2 today.

That first goal for Wolves was absolutely horrible defending by JT, embarrassing really. On the 3rd goal Jimenez just made him look silly.

 

[sammyspurs]

They didn’t have a decent game.
Dele was his usual shit, Aurier scores a brilliant goal but cost a goal and picked the ball up to take a throw in on the pitch, and Winks contributed, yet again, to our central midfield being a walk over

 

[bus-conductor]

Wolves had 34% possession, almost 1/2 of the passes compared to us, had four shots on target but scored three.

This is on the pathetic defending we saw today. With a somewhat competent back line today, we should have won. It shouldn't be on the offense to be required to score 4-5 goals every game just to get a win.

But it isn't just defenders who should be defending better. If you constantly allow the opposition to get into the situations we let them get into, because the players ahead of the defence are fucking lazy stupid and badly disciplined, you expose defenders and chaos ensues.

Some of the defending wasn't good, but if you keep allowing opposition teams to get into these overload and isolated 1v1 situations, they have the upper hand in the situation and it makes them very hard to defend.

 

[Reidy]

mourinho will be the dimwits target/

But the players are shite

The players he picks and gives the tactics to?

Those players?

 

[sammyspurs]

We should sell Dele. We might be able to get £40 million out of a side that see him as a luxury sub.

One can dream

 

[RealCoolYid]

Ndombele is garbage pal

So’s Moura. I’m sick of hearing the crowd cheer him as he ‘gets stuck in yet again’. The only reason he’s so ‘tenacious’ is because he’s always in a tackle and so fucking practiced at it

he literally is the proverbial second touch is a tackle

Saying that there were far worse things going on out there than Mouras useless first touch

 

[Steve007]

I've re-aligned my expectations for the season. Just don't let the Arse finish above us. Anything else is a bonus.

 

[Nutter-Naylor]

Another good day out spoiled by the football.

Did anyone seriously think before the game started we would get anything out of it?

Absolutely woeful in every area.

 

[VoiceOfThePoshSeats]

cant really disgree with that

 

[Blanchflower]

The main sales pitch with Mourinho seemed to be organisation and being difficult to beat.

We seem to be getting worse in both aspects.
