Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Stade Rennais FC

How it should be reffed tbh. Pearce is such a Chelsea **** calling for a red.

 

That was a decent chance for Moura. Normally better in the air than that.

 

Two big chances for Rennes. Midfielders not picking up the runner.

 

1-1. Tait. Ndombele strolling around and giving him way, way too much space.

 

They deserved that.

 

Very good opening but pushed back after scoring.
Ndombele don't like closing down does he?

 

Looks like Bergwijn's injured. Should push Gil up and stick on another midfielder, if he goes off.

 

Ndombele is truly appalling

 

Hojbjerg on for Bergwijn.
Not sure how he got hurt enough to go off, to be honest.
Looked fairly minor, though obviously a foul or two.

 

Ndombele, not content with giving chances away has now added hospital passes to his repertoire...

When you is playing as piss poorly as him you really shouldn't draw attention to yourself with a bleached head

 

That's an appalling header from Hojbjerg. Put Skipp under a ton of pressure.

 

Awful player. Needs getting rid of asap. Can’t keep him just because he cost a lot. Get rid, take the huge loss and move on.

 

We've been awful since we scored. They've taken the initiative and we can't handle it.

 

This stinks of a team where the lineup picked is generally ok in terms of attack minded and creative players but a team that also doesn’t do enough training in actually being the attacking side.

I know it’s so, so early but Nuno ain’t the one. Nice guy, painstakingly boring manager. I’m gonna hate this season, I just know it.

 

Doherty manfully continuing his quest to be a worse signing than Ndombele

 

Maybe it’s just me, but since the city game it’s felt a bit like the players are a bit bored, and aren’t really trying/dont really care.
Almost like they feel that it’s Mourinho all over again, and perhaps aren’t buying into Nuno’s style or team choices.

 

Could easily have conceded there at the end of the half. Awful defending.

 

Nuno was 9th choice and it shows, thankfully the short contract will mean he won’t be around long with his boring dull football.

 

1-1 HT. Poor.
Started well enough and played it around competently, though we failed to create anything.
Our goal got them to play though, which resulted in our lack of creativity being constantly exposed.

We need to stop using the 4-3-3. We don't have the players for it.
Ndombele isn't going to put in the work to be in that midfield 3, for a start.
He might be able to do a job further forward when he's 100%, but even that's doubtful.

 

Doherty had no idea what was going on around him.

Truly appalling, even for him.

I hate being so critical of players but we have several that are seriously awful
