***OMT: Tottenham Hotspur v West 'Am United - WHL, Sun 22nd Feb, KO - 12pm

[Mumorn]

fudging hell Eriksen.

 

[The Portugeezer]

Squad rotation of a thin squad.

So in other words we are stretching ourselves and playing in too many competitions.

 

[SpurMeUp]

Valencia offside for their second. Ref not up for the game either certain yellow. Poor.

But the biggest question is: you know how wham play. Hustle, crosses into the box, scraping and staying tight. Why are we looking so unprepared for that?

Lots of games means a lack of preparation as well as players tiredness?

Back down to earth with a bang. Queue the Poch out phalanx and how we have not progressed etc etc.

It shows how thin the squad is. When we rely on Dembele, Townsend and Lamela for our depth.

 

[Yiddo]

And lets be honest Dembélé and Lamela have been poor but Kane might as well not have played.

 

[indianspur]

We won a game since we beat Scum?

That was our cup final, this is west spams...typical

 

[DHSF]

Eriksens pass completion so far? I'd be surprised if it's any more than 5%

Id imagine thats still more than the number of your posts that have added any real value

 

[shaney]

Well its (yet another) very poor peformance, and it looks likely that our only hope of scraping a draw is two moments of brilliance from Kane or Eriksen (again). Its all we have.

Soldado was just flagged offside for jumping for a ball he didn't connect with. Exactly the same situation as the second West Ham goal. I'm not saying we shouldn't be losing here. I'm just saying the match officials are having just as woeful a day as the Spurs team.

Go fudge your mum. How's that for value.

 

[metalgear]

excellent corner by Lamela dropped in the 6 yard box, no one there to tap it in.

 

[scaramanga]

Rose doing his best to give away the ball with Hugo 20yds out.

 

[Yiddo]

It shows how thin the squad is. When we rely on Dembele, Townsend and Lamela for our depth.

Hardly a thin squad is it? Its about having different plans rather than just the press and pace we try to adopt. We have more than enough players capable of playing in the prem.

 

[indianspur]

I blame the small pitch and the extreme wind

I actually thought that the player by attempting but missing to head the ball, was in fact interfering with play

 

[SpurMeUp]

Got bullied today and I could easily stick out an under 10's team with the simple tactics to beat us.

Sadly we're wham's ideal team. Weak, easily bullied with a shaky defence that can be got into.

Had we kept a clean sheet first half, I think we'd have pushed on but instead we've fallen apart.

 

[metalgear]

Verts has been too slow too weak for me. For the first and second.

 

[Rorschach]

Bad choices by nearly all our players now

 

[90291Spur]

So in other words we are stretching ourselves and playing in too many competitions.

Given our current playing staff, yes.

 

[mouville]

I don't know why Verts needs to get involved all the time. His pushing over of Noble will no doubt be mentioned comparing to the push by Matic that got a red card. At least the ref saw it so no futher action can be taken.

 

[Pirate55]

It's been scrappy on our part for sure...not sure if it's a lack of concentration or youthfulness or pressure, but we haven't played well...

I think the players were beginning to believe all the hoopla about them. They seem to have forgotten that the success has only come about from a high intensity high pressing game. We just haven't done that today and as a result our game has fallen apart when we ourselves were pressed.
