He looks worse now than with Spurs.Whilst I agree that we needed Maddison, surely NOBODY is worse than Fatdombelly !!
Kulo runs out of steam... As per most 'wingers' they're impact players and used correctly can be real game changers and over used their impact is greatly reduced.. kulo when he came bac from injury was fresh and he accelerated past a couple of defenders... Haven't seen him do that since those first couple of games after his return...lucus will offer very decent competition and it can work wonders.. you only have to look at Emerson to see current proof.. quality competition works well in football, always has and always will.Despite Lucas running with his head down ( apparently) he managed 2 good passes and a good attack in his time on the pitch.
Cheese Room wasn't a Conte signing. No chance of playing
Why then hire Conti as manager? Who did that? Unfortunately talking about Tottenhams DNA and hiring a Nuno, Conti etc isn't going to work.When Levy starts running training in the week, gives the team talks, picks the line up, gives tactical instructions on the pitch, refuses to make subs, then i'll blame him for the defeat.
Richarlison isn't a bad player. Or inept fucking management have ruined him, like they do so many of our players.
It was though I think PARTLY because away fans are spread out across the length of the pitch about 10 rows deep - so you get little pockets singing making it hard to get chants going - scoring a goal might have helped !!Chris Cowlin says in his podcast that the away end at Wolves was the quietest it's been at a game in ages,
Be careful what you wish for. Hard to see it getting better next year.Couldn’t even manage the fucking draw against total shite. Probably the worst possible outcomes this weekend. Sooner this season is up the better
Agree with all off that - we were right on the half way line too row NMy wife and I went to Wolves yesterday.A few observations…… the away pub (Bluebrick) isn’t great ( especially on a cold day) as space inside is very limited. Good carpark though and at £5 for 5 hours much better value than our home parking options. Shortish walk to the ground. The away end runs the whole length of one side of the pitch and is on the lower tier-fabulous view ( we were near halfway line) but very difficult area to generate a significant atmosphere.
As for the game I thought we were excellent first half, as good as we’ve played in recent times, and really should have been one or two up. Second half the Wolves coach realised that their passive set up wasn’t working, completely changed it and slowly and surely they began to gain control of the game.This is what really fucks me off about Conte, it very often feels like we don’t even have a plan A and we most certainly don’t have a plan B. Totally outmanoeuvred yesterday. And all for the bargain price of £15 million a year!!
Easy access back to the M6 and home by 7.30pm.
And now for Milan, probably a case of hope for the best and expect the worst.COYS!!
To be fair, we hit the crossbar twice and also the post.What a mess yesterday was... on ALL fronts!
Another Super Spurs SHATURDAY!
I don't think the performance was bad. Was better than I expected given the starting 11.To be fair, we hit the crossbar twice and also the post.
On another day we would have romped to the win.
We wouldn't have scored in 180 mins, let alone 90. We had no movement into the box and no plan B. Wolves were comfortable packing the box and let us ping long shots way over the bar or tamely into the keeper's arms. The failure for management to enact any changes is what we really cost us.
Being in control or comfortable means nothing if we can't score.
So how many goals was that? If we hit it 5 times, do we get a goal then?
We hit the woodwork three times?
Idiot.So how many goals was that? If we hit it 5 times, do we get a goal then?
I'm not a genius by any stretch but I do know we can hit the post 100 times and still doesn't equal a goal. and hitting the post doesn't win games.Idiot.
