OMT - Tottenham Hotspur FC vs Tamworth FC

Must be terrible for the Ange in group to find ways to keep defending woeful performances?

Not really, we won. The 'Ange out' camp keep claiming they don't care about attacking football and want us to be more solid. Well that's two clean sheets in a row, and this could have been a banana skin and we've certainly seen PL clubs concede goals on these sort of grounds. Not sure why anyone who supports the manager needs to justify things after a win.

The funny thing is, had we spanked then those who don't like the manager would have just said 'Yeah well so we should' so it's literally a pointless debate to be had. The fact is some people just aren't happy unless they are whinging.....

Today goes into the territory of not having the guts to do it either. Credit to Tamworth for their efforts but Werner and Johnson in particularly should be filling their boots today, they were atrocious

I wouldn't expect Werner to fill his boots against anyone frankly and a game where we have all the possession and have to break down packed defense doesn't suit Johnson's fairly limited game so honestly not very surprised that the lineup struggled to really create quality.
 
And those who keep claiming we have a really good squad need to get real. Time and time again the squad players get their opportunity and are at best bang average and more than often poor.

Yet you will subsequently have people cry about why Ange doesn't use them more. The fact is they aren't that good, and people only seem to think so when they aren't being used so they xcan have something else to whinge about with Ange....

It’s why we needed a target man
It was just like last season
No one occupying their balls deep defence
Bloody daft

I would expect them to be even a little bit more intelligent that they were today

16th in the NL FFS, some need their attitudes checked
 
Assuming we're all watching the Arse Anal game.
Lots to like; a huge scuffle involving every player which should mean a fine.
Havertz splooging the ball off target.
Rice is their best player but only came on at around 75 mins?
Can't beat 10 men.
Jesus stretchered off to join Saka and Nwaneri on the sidelines.
Fartin Odour Guard was hobbling at half time, but played on sadly.
Above all, extra time a few days before the NLD.

There were enough starters out there today, you can't use the squad excuse. Today was once again a team bereft of ideas on what to do with possession - is that a squad issue?
 
We got through which is the main thing but I think this game is further proof that we have a number of players who are just incapable of taking control of games.

Positives were Bissouma and Gray from our starters with a second clean sheet for Kinsky and Bergvall and Spence when they came.

A bonus that United have taken the gooners to extra time so hopefully that will even things up fitness wise on Wednesday.

I read between the lines, virtually every win is criticised, most can see it doesn't matter who manages the team during this current injury situation. I can't remember a run of games where we started the team or didn't pick up an other injury or suspension. I'm fed up with sacking a manager every 18/24 months and want to see us build something and this season would challenge any manager.
 
So we got it over the line in the end when our quality and fitness came good but for me the performance was 100% down to Ange. That was the first time for their last 10 games that Tamworth kept a clean sheet in 90 minutes. IMO the initial set up was wrong from the start, we just seemed to overload areas and get in each others way with a walking pace going forward. And why start without a centre forward? The players play to the positions and method they are instructed to. And the sooner Werner is sent packing the better, although I suspect we will be seeing more of him until Moore gets properly fit and Oderbert is back

I think the clean sheet is a positive no matter who the opposition is.

What was missing today was tempo. The pitch plus lots of niggling fouls by Tamworth to make up for their lack of quality made sure of that.

Timo is very low on confidence and wasn't starting from a high bar anyway, so it's like playing with 10 men when he is playing, especially at the moment.

The pitch looked poor, my 10 year old commented that it looked as bad as his Little League pitch! That is going to slow the game and will be more wearing on tired legs. Main thing is we won and we are through without any new injury concerns.

I must admit that I don't like it when posters are put in Ange in and Ange out camps, it feels very divisive (not having a go at you mate). In the end, We are all Spurs fans and everyone wants us to win, at least that's what I think. I'm not a big fan of Ange but winning is what is important to me.

Didn’t see extra time admittedly or the goals, but just not good enough as a performance really. Thought Gray, Bissouma, Reggie and Moore came out of it with some credit, but the rest of them just tinkle poor. Brennan Johnson once again gets a goal that masks a poor performance and average overall play. It’s possible to be pleased he’s getting goals, but is it really asking for more from him in terms of creativity, effort and the ability to take on his man?

Ultimately just glad we got through and not easy conditions and circumstances to play in, but boy we need better forwards and more creativity.
