*** OMT: Tottenham Hotspur vs. Wolves ***

[Moby]

I genuinely don’t understand how letting teams relentlessly batter us up the arse for 95 minutes every week, giving them an endless supply of chances, and looking like we’ve got an unexploded bomb when we do have the ball, is a sensible tactic?....

What am I missing?

 

[billyiddo]

That's the thing, remove the emotion from the analysis and we've been comfortable. They've created minimal and Hugo hasn't done anything that's not routine. But the fact we can't keep clean sheets and give up cheap goals kills everything.

The debate about the style of football is completely secondary.

You're never comfortable at 1 nil

 

[90291Spur]

You're never comfortable at 1 nil

Or 3-0.

 

[Baleforce]

I don’t really understand what it is we are even trying to do.

Kane and Son playing every game but wandering round half interested in the most part is also odd.

we are trying to win 1-0, which is the point of football

 

[Dicko]

Could we continue to play like this even if the fans come back??? Honest question, Do you think the players would still listen to Mourinho and sit back with the fans on their back?

 

[Jurgen the German]

it's not though has it, Hugo hasn't made a save

We only try and score when the score is level

I think we’ve learned after this run that we’re not going to win or challenge for the league. I’d take a trophy and a top 4 finish. Would still be a very good season

Yes, sitting back is part of the job, but we just haven't countered at all. Its been pathetic from that perspecitve

 

[djp82]

4 games without a win.

Next 4 after this are all winnable. We need 10-12 points from them

Need to play some football

 

[Aldo]

Good on Wolves, deserved the equaliser- they deserve to win, fudge this football and anyone supportive of it

Lol.
Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out.

 

[Kandi1977]

GET UP KANE!

 

[Robbo]

It's so predictable, but then again we've supported Spurs for centuries and know what we're capable of and how we love to fudge up.

Mourinho has only been here a year and can't be expected to understand the full nature of Spurs yet. Once he does, he'll stop trying to defend a one goal lead.

 

[DubSpur]

Should've been a winner for Wolves there...

 

[billyiddo]

Ideally I’d like us to be a good team that wins things rather than an average side that wins things like we used to be or a really good side that wins nothing because we can’t/don’t turn up when it matters

Well we're heading towards being an average team playing brick football that might get lucky and win a league cup, because we sure as hell ain't winning anything else under this joker

 

[Baleforce]

not winning the league with our current setup would be a failure for me

 

[Whiffler]

Sissoko to get a new rose hole ripped for him by Mou ?

I think not

 

[fernadez]

Or 3-0.

Exactly

We attack and get done defensively

We defend and get done defensively

Either way we need to learn to defend.

In theory we're meant to counter on them....but we dont

 

[Yiddo]

Thats 3 weeks so far this season that results have gone our way and the third week we have fudged it up.

 

[GGyid]

Same old, same old

 

[Mulletperm]

fudge off Mourinho
