***OMT TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Roma***

My issue/concern is our success seems to rely too much on whether the opposition takes their (high quality) chances or not.

I don't know if you can get consistent results and performances coughing up that many chances every game. Even v Cityma we could have been 2-0 down after 10 minutes.
When it works it works but I don't think it's gonna yield results for us to win leagues and or cups unless we get super lucky. And we are gonna need to have the luck we did on the way to champs final
 
It's our forwards' fault.
We had 4 on 2 and biffed it up because a 47 year old Hummels got back to intercept.
We had numerous chances to play a square pass for an easy finish, but spaffed it up.

Poor old Porro was completely exhausted after 75 mins but was left out there to shrivel. He'll be dead tonight.
A smart team would have gone down for cramp and drinks and fannying around and seen the game out.
 
That is going to be a tough tough game. Ibrox is special, Forster played for Celtic...

Absolue bollox, Rangers are tinkle poor, their league is woeful, if any top 10 prem team failed to win I would laugh like fudge at them.
This should not be a tough game, it should be a nailed on 3 points.

I've been in the camp that AP should be given time because the squad needs a compelete rebuild, providing that we aint flirting with relegation...

I'm questioning that stance.

...you had to say it didn't you?!!!!:oops::tearsofjoy:
 
I moaned that we gave up 2+ xG to City and was told that was normal because City are great, just given up 2.4 to Roma who are complete muck.

Our defending is fudging brick.
It's that's weird confirmation bias that we see in here anytime we get a good win, a lot of people lose their heads a bit and start making grand conclusions based on that singular result which some cases could have gone completely a different way. City was a good win but they are in a terrible moment right now, winning that game didn't mean anything beyond the fact we won that game.

In some respects I kind of think a result and performance like today is sort of brings everyone back down to ground. We kept a clean against City but they deffo had their chances and should be disappointed they didn't score. Today reminds everyone that no, we are still far from the finished article and just swapping the CBs doesn't solve the systemic defensive issues.

In terms of the positives and I think there were quite a few. Kulu looked great for 65 minutes, his form is really, really drilled in right now. The replacement CBs largely coped with fitting into whatever it is that we do at the back. 😅

Bentancur had a good game before the rash challenge and the risk of a red. Son didn't look as past as usual but still a shadow of his former self.


Most importantly Foster looked comfortable I don't think you can attribute any blame for Thier goals to him and he again made some telling saves.

Sonny's staggering, staggering miss near the end of the first-half was, errrr, staggering. It was a tap-in for him. How he missed I do not know.
 
Turned out to be a blessing that we didn’t pip Villa to 4th spot as our first XI would be dead on their feet playing 180 minutes of PL + CL every week. Hopefully another 2 transfer windows will give Lange et al a chance to get our squad up to CL standard.
I’m not sure Ange will be here for another two windows. The next two months are massive for him imo.
 
Indeed, to be fair the squad is suffering with injuries too. But Richi can't be relied upon for availability and I don't see Odobert as a real difference maker in the Europa League at the higher level this season, but I am very excited for his potential....
But it’s fresh legs we didn’t have
They went full on brick or bust
And we had some weak legs on the pitch

There was some good stuff, but we give everyone we play chances to score a couple of goals.

As long as that is the case we are fudged.

Bentacur was great
Dining get why he was subbed when link was flagging
And Bentacur is not playing Sunday
Thought that bergvall did well when he came on
And Bissouma was great from my seat at least
