*** OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Chelscum ***

[Dicko]

It's sad how far we have fallen away over recent seasons. Not a single player who can pass well in this line up!*

*Other than Kane, but that doesn't really help when we don't have the ball

 

[nelto]

Diabolical from Tanganga, needs to be hooked.

I’m going to put a bet on him being the third scorer in a hat trick of own goals!

 

[harr1984]

Some people are dreamers and somehow thought that Conte was a miracle worker. I remember the debates with a few more or less saying we don't need new players, but it's always been evident that we do.

In some way a painful loss might be beneficial in the long run.

A lot have been way over estimating where we are based on beating poor - average teams at home, and getting over excited over a draw against a Liverpool side missing all their first choice CMs and their best CB. It’s ok though, we could catch Chelsea and challenge for third apparently…..

 

[AdamB]

I like Tanganga, but how does someone get to his age as a defender and head the ball like that from a cross?

I mean, its not something which a defender should even have to think about. It should be instinctive

 

[Bishop]

If he has headed the ball upwards, as CBs should, that can't happen

The cross was low and flat, heading it up wasn't really possible. He was unlucky with the ricochet. That gets headed out every day we were just unlucky with the bounce.

 

[IulianSteaua]

I keep babbling about our central defence for months. Keep Romero as a starter, Dier on the bench, Davies as a squad and offload the rest.

 

[Mrs Vert]

I'm out. I'm not watching this ineptness anymore

 

[glasgowspur]

fudge sake. Where to start.

With Doherty who put us under pressure with a stupid pass. Sanchez hacking at Lukaku after being unlucky with the first tackle. And then Tanganga.

This has been abysmal so far.

Sanchez won the ball onky for dozy peh ket it hit him lose the ball, his man and get in Sanchez Road.
That goal was nothing to do with Sanchez

 

[DubSpur]

Yep.

And if Sanchez hadn't done his usual, the freekick wouldn't have been conceded.
And if DOherty was able to make a positive contribution, then they wouldn't have been there on the pitch for the foul.

It wasn't Sanchez fault, he made a great tackle and PEH fudged up forcing him to make the second challenge or he would've been through on goal

 

[elyid]

If in doubt though head it to the side. Even if it missed Davies it would have still been dangerous.

 

[Legohamster]

fudge sake royal. Cross it first time

 

[MKSpur]

Hojbjerg always seems to be in the way, when we have the ball

 

[Legohamster]

Hojbjerg always seems to be in the way, when we have the ball

yet not when they have it

 

[billyiddo]

Hojberg is a fraud

 

[IulianSteaua]

Hojbjerg always seems to be in the way, when we have the ball

We need to bench him for a while, he has played almost all of our games. Needs a break.

 

[paxtonwolf]

And that should be 3-0

 

[Gutter Boy]

It's sad how far we have fallen away over recent seasons. Not a single player who can pass well in this line up!*

*Other than Kane, but that doesn't really help when we don't have the ball

Every one of our passing players is on the bench. We've lined up to go completely counter attacking

 

[AdamB]

Nice of Sanchez to give Lukaku a free header then

 

[monkeybarry]

If he has headed the ball upwards, as CBs should, that can't happen

He definitely needs a loan. A full season of playing at the top end of the championship or lower PL.
That was just decision making in a nervy 45 by the team. If you can it upwards, head it out of the area otherwise head it for a corner.
He was attempting the right thing - positive defending. He just got it wrong - you can't do that at the top level.
It's unlucky because 99/100 you get away with that. It's also a poor decision.
I still believe he has the potential to be top class - but he really needs a solid run of games. That needs to be somewhere else.
A Burnley loan would be perfect.

 

[paxtonwolf]

COYS. Make them pay for that miss
