//// Lack of goal threat WITH Son is my biggest concern...
Sonny is playing under different environment now without Maddy.
Used to smash & grab with acres of spaces cutting in from Left/Right or scoring belters from outside the box. This season he has to wait from mids or wings interplay by which time all the space would hv been congested.
we know Son can't head or score in congested space.
Stop getting mad with Sonny. This style doesn't suit him. He has to be on shoulder with the last defender and space to run/.

Not quite how I’d describe it!! But I get your point.
They have won a gane 3-0 against a top albeit with injuries something we have not managed to at all this season. Still waiting the attacking football to result in goals. Did we really make thier goalie have to make any saves today.
Inverted FBs and wingers all clogging up the same areas. Keep saying get Porto out wide behind kulu abd cross the ball.
Meh, he's a good athlete with some quality but an underwhelming signing for me. Surely wouldn't have been considered if not hg.
Jesus Christ, just realised our only point in 5 games has come against the current ‘best team in the world’.
fuck off u cunt!!
u can call me anything u want but a gooner is to far
im a spurs fan since 1997
and iam staying positive that come summer we alll be happy with the season
never call me a gooner again
u cunt

LOSING the Ball in your own box... (aka Ange ball)
If you are prepared to play this style in your own penalty area - then you will concede or give away chances. it's only natural - unless your ange ball is limited way close to the mid circle and beyond.
Latest example -our 2nd giveaway goal v WHam. You're gambling but is there anything to gain in your own box?
IMHO we literally gave the match away today. You can disagree all you want.

Whenever I see Tottenham Hotspur I see the referee anti straight away. The fans don't see it they are naive or dumb. They don't stick up for the corrupt cheating the EPL and FA do to Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham fans don't defend Spurs from corrupt cheating bias refereeing agsint Tottenham. They are the weakest link!

I think (and I may be wrong) that there are no players left at Liverpool or Man City, possibly Woolwich that were inherited by Pep, Klopp or Weasel Face?
We have players here, that have played under four different managers.
Therein lies the issue.
Give Ange time to clear the deadwood and free up squad numbers.
I must not have been watching properly, did the ball actually come off the referee and fall perfectly into the path of their onrushing striker for their first goal? Did he quietly whisper in Udogie's ear "give them a goal or I'll tell them all you touched me"?
I'd say a good % of people on here have acknowledged refs seem to be trying to "balance the books" since the Liverpool game, but to blame results on referees is to go looking for excuses. Fuck me it was only this Sunday just gone the referee fucked a City move by pulling the game back for an advantage. Every team is getting fucked up refs this season, not just us. Our results are in spite of that, not because of that.
He did say squad.
Neither goal was a result of playing out from the back (or playing about with the ball "in your own box" as you described it).
Sounded like a manager not accepting any responsibility for a result to me.
Not to totally excuse the self-sabotage we’ve all witnessed but…
Am I the only one that thought the handball prior to Bowen’s goal was about as clear a pen as could possibly be? I can’t hardly find anything on it aside from one vid on Twitter that’s been taken down for copyright reasons.

That game was painful. What’s so frustrating is that even with our injuries we still are up in these games and can’t see them out. The last 4 games are like Groundhog Day for fucks sake. We need to put more balls in the box from the wings. Porro seemed to be the only one doing that and it created the most chances in the last 15 minute.
We start these games flying out the gate. Reality is if we can’t put 2 or 3 away in the first 30 min we run out of gas second half like clockwork. That’s partially down to our squad depth. Still, having something like 70 percent of possession in the first half and only being up 1-0 up is unacceptable. We are wayyyy to predictable right now. I’m a patient fan but these games are really annoying at the moment.
We gifted them that game. West Ham were shit.

The commentators said it was not a penalty cause he was moving his arm behind his back. Bullshit.....the BALL pushed his arm back after he handled it.
