Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Coventry City

[The RDBD]

I hate to be negative and I hope we are all wrong but we have seen it year after year that we heavily rotate for this completion and we come undone.
I can already see this game panning out the same as most of the other games this season, with us having all the possession but with no killer instinct.

For a manager who wants to finish PL top 4 +
go far in UFA land, then they will have to be
good in squad management (starting XIs specifically) .

How much rotation, and when, will be the harsh judge.
Given the brutality of Dec-Jan this season, Ange
better get busy ASAP.

If we are going to go with youth then just play Moore. I can’t see the gamble as he can’t be worse

Completely agree. Can’t stand werner

 

[Left on the Shelf]

10 mins gone... and werner is passing the ball backwards with real conviction

The art of self-delusion. Being that ****, but still going out there in pink boots!

 

[Left on the Shelf]

Odobert hasn't started well and is now injured!

Hamstring?

 

[remembercolinlee]

Injury already

 

[remembercolinlee]

18 mins and no attempts of any kind

 

[Left on the Shelf]

Just an aside...why the **** do sub players take so long to get ready to come on?

 

[KingHotspur]

18 mins and no attempts of any kind

78% possession

0 shots

 

[Citizen Kane.]

All Bark no Bite FC

Bergvall is really positive and you can see he's got a great football brain. Will probably be totally wasted with us.

It’s pretty dull to say the least

 

[KingHotspur]

It’s pretty dull to say the least

It always dull these days. That’s why I’m surprised when some on here say they find Angeball exciting to watch.

It’s tedious and boring.

 

[crackerman jack]

Pretty cynical from Jar Jar there

Just an aside...why the **** do sub players take so long to get ready to come on?

The logical answer is they haven't warmed up to come on

...though it gets less logical if it's within the first twenty minutes

 

[Left on the Shelf]

It’s pretty dull to say the least

Commentator called it 'methodical' - I call it funerally slow!

 

[humanbeingincroydon]

Pretty cynical from JarJar there

Understandable he might be annoyed when seeing someone in a Spurs shirt playing first team football...

 

[remembercolinlee]

29 mins gone and our only "attempt" was a misplaced werner cross

 

[Citizen Kane.]

It's really becoming difficult to justify Bentancur's reputation as being a 'quality' player. He barely contributes anything.

 

[crackerman jack]

This is actually worse than I thought it would be. And I didn’t expect a lot. To not even test their goalkeeper after 30 mins against a reserve championship team is woeful

 

[The Huddlefro]

Bergvall is really positive and you can see he's got a great football brain. Will probably be totally wasted with us.

I feel like he’s struggled to get into this game to be honest.
