Tottenham Hotspur V Aston Villa

[Surfless]

He's literally said himself he causes injuries.

That's fact.

He said he causes injuries in the first season. If you're going to be pedantic so can I.

Sorry, players injuring themselves have a thousand physical and environmental variables associated with them, and the idea it's a manager causing it beyond conditioning is absurd.

 

[Raziel]

None of our midfield have made a tackle. Villa just walking onto our back line.

They can't because the spacing is wrong between midfield and back line

 

[Lemonade Money]

Funny bastards knocking on the commentators window! tossers!

 

[Gazza]

I'm not enjoying this spell but I keep seeing "out of his depth" cited everywhere and I don't get it.

With 12 players out and 11 games in five weeks, what would fergie do? Or Poch? Or Pep?

Genune question. I am not happy right now but I don't understand the vitriol towards the manager?

Play with some sort of tactics, play to the strengths of the team, adapt, set up a midfield?

 

[Baleforce]

I think our performance might even be worse than Dion Dublins jumper

oi, I've got one of those, its lovely

 

[Daveeeeeeeed]

Not been watching much, saw a couple of their chances, and missed Son's chance, but would it be fair to say they deserve the lead at half time?

We are not a well set up or well drilled team. Our tactics (if you can call them that) routinely leave us wide open, injuries do not prevent you from doing this to an acceptable level - there is nothing from how Ange speaks about the game or how he has consistently set us up that suggests he can operate at this level. He's a spoofer

 

[Dicko]

Everything about watches us is horrible now... including that stupid orange ball! It's not even snowing!

 

[monkeybarry]

Joe Hart nailed it.
Kinsky came in and was good. We've just broken him.

Highlight of the viewing experience so far.

 

[We are Tottenham]

I cant see us winning...........another cup gone down the swanny

 

[paxtonwolf]

Credit to Joe Hart sticking up for Kinsky

 

[fernadez]

Yeah but that has been debunked. It's not the manager injuring players. We play the same as city, the same as Brighton, the same as Bournemouth. Do you think Ange has invented a game that demands more than other teams? If you do mate you're just parroting the rhetoric, cos it's rubbish.

Find fault but do it with your own mind not just quoting the papers and tabloid websites.

How's it debunked when the man himself and his former fitness coach have said it's a part of his process?

 

[DubSpur]

Probably because the drop from Davies to Gray is worse than the drop from Gray to Bentancur. Also we have no other CBs if we play Gray and Davies.

It's not, Bentancur isn't a DM, he nevers protects the defence, not that he's instructed to do it. The midfield is constantly empty, Bentancur should be in there at all times. The amount of times Villa have got the ball in there in space or played a ball straight through it is criminal.

Davies can still do a decent job at CB.

You and I both - some of the comments even refer to things irrelevant to football e.g., his nationality

You're legitimately saying the manager has sent the players out without a plan?

Is that actually your position? Seriously?

 

[SteveAWOL]

Joe Hart spot on about Kinsky looking shakier the longer he plays in this lacklustre team and Defoe pointing out that our fullbacks shouldn’t be bombing forward when we’re struggling to keep possession.

Can we get them on coaching staff?!

 

[Chrissivad]

There was a game under Hoddle in 2003 when I knew he was done. We lost a cup game 4-0 at Southampton. Maybe we’ll turn it around but this has a very similar feel based on that first half.

Tactically, we’re a mess. They have no fit CB either by the way but they still don’t look clueless.

Son isn't going to cause the u16's center backs any issues.

We have 3 forwards who all want to make runs, but none of the will hold the ball up to get the pass to the runners.

So it's now hitting long, and with us struggling to hit a 10 yard pass, we aren't hitting a 30+ one.

Midfield just back off, and we let them run 30/40 yards with no pressure.

 

[markysimmo]

Pathetic again

 

[MrScottSpur]

Bentancur and Kulu aren’t working hard enough get em off
