Match Day Thread Watford v Tottenham

Yes.... the 1-6 at Liverpool was better.,,

 

Liverpool worked a bit for their goals. Today was a fire sale. Charity day :-(

 

Spurs are good enough without us helping them.

Just stood off and let their players walk through us.

Awful.

 

That has been apparent a few times this season - I really don't understand the 'plan'. Of if there is one.

 

A tonking. Terrilble passion. Awful defending. Nada in midfield. Jack s%&t going forward.

I am worried that we are sinking fast in the table. I don´t care how many "injuries" a team has, the replacements should be able to play a bit at least.

Last ten games, 10 points, 10 goals scored and 21 let in, a worrying trend.

Tottenham did a job on us today.

Glad I got up to watch it all!

Not going to hit the panic button but had a good look to check where it is!!!!!

Is anyone else concerned we can slip into the dog fight?

 

Bad dip in form now.... has Mazzari been 'worked out' or is it just a blip?

 

I think there is a possibility we could slip into a dogfight, but in the second half of the season we could probably get away with 4/5 wins and 4/5 draws. I think the Pozzos will assess the overall injury situation and look to bring in 2-3 new faces in Jan to ensure those results are possible. Hopefully we may just luck out too and find that Swansea, Hull and Sunderland (yes, I know we lost, but it was an OK performance that day) remain worse than us. If we could just get Janmaat, Success and Okaka consistently fit, that would make a huge difference.

 

Probably met both inform Liverpool and Spurs at the wrong time - keep the faith.

 

Last season at White hart lane we were absolutely thrashed - even though the score as 1-0. spurs are just one of the teams that we find very hard to play against - as I see it. Losing Zuniga in the warm-up is a joke too far. Once we have a fit squad (assuming we ever do) we'll be fine!

 

I think defensively we are shocking. Do we expect to be above Burnley, West Ham or Bournemouth? I don't think we are currently better than any of them.

 

Any half decent Championship side would have punished defending like that - let alone a top class team like Spurs.

People like Kaboul need to concentre on their defending rather than worrying about how a previous manager might have "disrespected" him..

Should know better being an experienced player.

 

Fair enough answers mind.

 

Hey, on a positive note, Manure's second goal puts us back up to 12th!

 

Well as I said elsewhere this bad run is a bit annoying because we would almost be safe with another 7/9 points!!

 

Completely agree. All he did was prove to that manager he (the manager) had been correct. I don't care that he scored. I thought that his performance would have been disappointing if we'd been in the lower end of the Championship - it was chronic, and his other performances for us haven't made that seem like a one-off, I'm afraid.
I worry what they do when they do defensive drills in training. It's not working or improving that I can see. Does anyone else see any improvement in any defensive area? I would value everyone's opinions on that question. I don't know if it's just me!
