Spurs vs Saints - Match Thread

Gunn should have done better there. Either way shouldn't have had that much space on the edge of the box.

dodgy keeper

That was pretty crap from Gunn.

Not surprising - he's crap. Basically an instagram version of Forster.

I've maintained for a while that Gunn is overrated. Because he has the right look, people think he's better than he is. That de Gea beard is helping is career. If was the exact same keeper with the same level of height and skill, but game from a country not known for producing keepers, like say the Gambia, people would analyse him differently.

Likewise been saying the same - it's a cardinal sin on here. He's cr4p, proper cr4p. Great designer stubble though, so therefore - top keeper.

Terrible. Amateur hour once more in Saints defence.

Dreadful. Another aimless attack breaks down and opponents attack at speed through our hopeless defence.

playing against 10 men and we do that

Vest committed needlessly and then it was always going to be 2 on 2.

How crap is our defence.. One attack and they just waltz on through. JWP arriving once the ball is already in the net.

Playing against 10 men and leaving two players completely unmarked in our box is just unforgivable.

This. FFS

Remember - we had an excellent window was the consensus on here.

Redmond is frustrating the **** out of me today. As soon as he gets the ball he’s slowing down and taking an age to decide what to do. It was his shilly shallying that pretty much led to their quick (see that Reds, pace!) break and goal.

Vest got beaten so easily in the air for the turnover on that goal. He interviews well, but is just so weak on the field.

Playing 5 at the back and bednarek doesn’t have the common sense to stay with Kane, their world class striker.

Obafemi would enjoy this game I feel.

we had them mentally and numerically by the nuts and then that

We really are crap aren’t we. Only Saints could equalise against 10 men just before half time and still manage to concede straight after

Absolutely cracked me up in a time of need.

So would Valery.

I'm worried when we have to play 10 men for a whole game.

Half time should be easy. Valery on Vestergaard off. Jwp pushed into a position he's comfortable with and can threaten

Imagine getting caught in a three on three when playing against ten men...

Hojbjerg taking himself out of the game because he didn't fancy running back was disgraceful.

Once again, a midfield without a shred of mobility haunts us.

Redmond disappearing into cul-de-sacs all the time doesn't help.

Shame, an okay performance undone by some woeful goalkeeping and defending.

Get 2 lifelines

We have a crap defence, why we make it worse by continuously playing players out of position, I will never know

Go to a back 4, get Valery on

FFS

We got lucky with our goal. A lot of huff and puff and nice triangles.

But we always seem to play a deliberately under strength defence and it shows.

Tottenham are fragile, they have been all year. They're also down to 10 men, this is still winnable. Make some early changes and take the game to them, like the Sims sub earlier in the year.

Does Valery's close ties to Lemina link to the playing situation?

We got more chance to win if Redmond was not in our team.

So what's Valery done wrong this season?

Vest off, Valery on, back 4.

We got more chance to win if Redmond was not in our team.

This is why most sane people avoid the match threads now..

whenmy new keyboard arrives I promise to not abuse it with as much crap. It will be only wisdom and light from then on

So what's Valery done wrong this season?

Why did we change the whole shape when we have a RB on the bench?

Ralph is very strange

We got more chance to win if Redmond was not in our team.

WTF?

Edit: new keyboard not arrived yet, obviously

I'll say it again.

JWP is ineffective with no discernible attribute to warrant a place in a PL side. One of our own so therefore a top player on here.

Hojberg is and always has been a below-average Danish Prutton - but hey, he claps and fist pumps alot so he's a top player on here. Another with no definable attributes.

Vestergaard - just no no no.

Gunn - Instagram Forster; designer stubble and the looks - but all the talent of Forster. Top gk on hrere though.

Bizarre positional selections. Hassenhutl surely isn't mental to believe its actually a good idea, or is he proving a point in a weird way... I've no idea.

What confuses me the most is people persisting with the belief that any of the above players are any good/will come good is f()cking beyond me.

totally agreed we are playing with 8 men

Vest JWP and boufal are not in the game

bring on Armstrong and Long lets run at them put some energy into this team

if we do not change at half time RH your crap

playing against 10 men and we do that

With JWP at RB and Vestergaard it's actually 10 v 9.

Hopefully Valery comes on at HT and we revert to a back four. COYR

Gunn is a keeper of very limited ability.

PEH needs a kick up the arse. Also needs to practice his passing.

At 1-1 i literally thought i bet we do a (villa vs arsenal last week) and hand them the game.

All the pressure on them and we get caught by a punt. Even then we had enough players back if Bedanrek had of just concentrated on marking kane or at the very least not turned sideways to make himself as small as possible to help kane score.

Shame as we've played some good stuff. Still a lack of end product.

Pleased for Ings showed real striker instincts.

Loved Bertrand's awareness to make the most of the contact given it was Aurier.

We've had a big problem in the space between JWP and Bednarek where Son has been having a field day.

Lloris error taking focus off Gunn who was poor for the first.

Half time should be easy. Valery on Vestergaard off. Jwp pushed into a position he's comfortable with and can threaten

This. I think Armstrong can also provide injection of energy against 10-men later on. We should still be able to win this.

Neither will get any better. They are sh1te.

I think no Vestergaard is significantly better than one Vestergaard

Changes at 1-3, be patient.

I am also a goalkeeper of limited ability. It doesn't seem to help us score goals either

Hoedt or vertergaard

Who is better?

I'll say it again.

 

 

JWP is ineffective with no discernible attribute to warrant a place in a PL side.

He takes a good pen?

Agree. He isn't good enough consistently enough. No pace. Can't shoot. Can't defend. Always nearly there and not quite there.

Very frustrating player who hasn't improved at all in the last few years.

Hoedt or vertergaard

This forum is ridiculously negative. For the first 15 mins of the game we were matching or exceeding a champions league finalist. Overall bednarek and yoshi have been superb. we got hit with an incredibly unlucky goal. Gunn has usually been super-impressive. A powerful shot right at you that's slightly deflected can make any goalkeeper look foolish. And he is not the goalkeeper who really looked foolish this half. Go back to back four, and let's win this.
