There lies the problem ? £31 million and every one of the players fighting tooth and nail to get into the team whilst Spurs 'Big' stars waltz around in training and games knowing that they are a shoe-in for every game no matter how they perform ,would Conte have the bollocks to drop Lloris or Dier after their performances yesterday ,not a chance ,it will be Sessegnon ,Doherty,Sarr who will be dropped ?

Before the city gane. Bet your bottom $ royal will play Thursday. First sun yday was Doh when him and kulu were getting some sort of success down our right. We were offering f all on the left.
I’m yes but that is far better than actually not playing football or trying to win the gane when staring games. Only when we are losing do we actually try to attack.
Fuck off, prick!
Yea it's well known the true fans are the ones who sit at home crywanking on the internet. They're the real Spurs heroes.
Get lost.
Romero was fucking useless yesterday. Luck not to get sent off. By the end he was like that last drunk in the pub going around looking for a fight
Im sure Hugo throwing the ball in his own net didn’t help
Agree with most of this. As far as Son is concerned I would argue that he is having to do too much tracking back not too little. He needs to be making runs in behind , the most advanced striker , and that is not happening . I do think that he would do that more in a 3-5-2 Or a 3-5-1-1 with Kane dropping off and the extra midfielder would reduce the need for Son to track back. But no space in that formațion for Kulu unless he plays in CM or even RWB.
Yes, we were really on top before Hugo made that mistake. He really ruined what was otherwise going to be a great performance.
I'm not saying it was going to turn into a great performance but we actually started the game okay, there was a good atmosphere in the stadium and that first goal really did kill it.
No way did we deserve to win, but Ramsdale did play well.
We started OK but by the time they scored it was coming. They'd got their foot on the ball and were dictating the game already, we had a couple of clown show moments beforehand & looked terrified of the ball.
Ramsdale did well (he's a very good keeper) but other than maybe one save he had nothing to do until 2-0 down, at which point I actually think Woolwich panicked a bit and made the error of sitting in, but we just couldn't punish it.
Lloris was the rotten cherry on top of the dog poo cake & is finished, but I find it hard to blame him for the defeat, it very much felt like a collective failure.
Yeh, it was crap; but Lloris keep serving up dem cherries.
He did, and it was very annoying. Made it extremely easy for them.
But I get the feeling we find a way to concede anyway. It felt like a matter of time at that point as we only seem to play when 2-0 behind. *Maybe* if he doesn't make that error we hold out but it always felt like we were just chasing the game.
Essentially I just don't have faith in the rest of the 11 even if Lloris doesn't let them down.
Yeah fair points.
Sess couldn't cross a ball either, there was a couple of occasions where he got in on the left but put two rubbish balls in. Really we were lucky to go in at HT at only 2-0
Lloris errors though are messing us up big time, Newcastle, Villa and Woolwich x2. It doesn't help he can't kick the ball further than the halfway line anymore. New keeper needed ASAP.

Probably the hardest position to fill, sadly. We've struggled to find a RWB/LCB to fit the bill but goalkeeper is even harder imo, the list of genuinely exciting options is incredibly short. Not really possible to sort in jan so that means dealing with Lloris or Forster for the rest of the season.... which is less than ideal.
Probably irrelevant to this thread but I wouldn't mind Pickford in the summer. I think he's great for England and would suit us well. But yeah, looks as though we're stuck with Hugo till the summer for sure.
Yes it did. Think I or someone posted in one of the threads. £15M/yr plus over £100M spent last summer doesn’t get you much. To boot our scouting must be non existent.
The irony was that the one time he DID get some distance on it, we immediately lost possession and they waltzed up our end to score their 2nd...Yeah fair points.

I hate the panicky 'keeper nervously playing it out to equally terrified defenders routine, (that's the tactical term for it, right?) ...but if Lloris can't kick it long, and equally can't keep close possession in the area, wtf are we supposed to do?
