Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Fulham

Not the time to experiment with squad players. Pre-season not good. Players should have been assessed then.

 

Palhinha's continually fouling Richarlison and largely getting away with it.

 

No there aren’t, that’s the thing.

We don’t have European football this season so what are we resting first team players for? Ange will have seen all of these players in training plus pre-season, there’s a reason he’s mostly stuck with the same first XI for the first few league games.

All this selection is likely going to do is see us crash out of a cup on first opportunity.

 

I cannot remember a game when there have been as many misplaced passes.

 

Wall Free-kicks FC still being consistent, I see.

 

I think you are rushing to judgement far too quickly.

 

That was a booking all day long.

 

Judgement on what? A number of these players have been here for years and been poor. There’s no rushing of judgement when we know about 75% of this team shouldn’t be on the pitch.

 

The one to stop the break was definitely a booking. If he gets that, then I don't think he risks it.
Palhinha gets a lot of yellows, but not a lot of reds. Quite cynical.

 

Decent save by Forster. Muniz should not be getting a header off like that in the box.

 

Should be 2-0, good save by Forster.

 

1-0 HT. Awful performance. Too many changes and it's destroyed the flow of the side.
I'm all for using the squad, but you shouldn't need a full overhaul after 3 games.
We're still in this but we'll definitely need several subs to do anything.

They didn't create a lot, but we basically created nothing.
Packed the middle, failed to drive through it at any point and didn't use the wide men, either.
Crap kit, too. Is the ground still unfinished?

 

Awful, awful, awful.

That was Conte-ball.

Zero need to make that many changes and it shows massively. First black mark by Ange, especially after he said the other day he wants to win everything possible, that is not a team that’ll win you anything.

Make 5 subs at HT.

 

Terrible half only Forster comes out of that half with any credit.

Looked like the team that finished last season probably because in the main it was.

Swap the whole midfield for the 1st Choice and give Scarlett a run too

 

Hojbjerg, lo Celso are playing like they already have their bags packed. Sanchez just being Sanchez. No words for Richarlison.
Against a decent, hardworking Fulham side.

I imagine Ange will wait 10-15 before making changes, but I'm not sure there's any point in waiting.

 

Rookie ref

 

Fortunately the score is only 1-0.
The experiment has failed, so make the changes and get it sorted.

 

Yes it showed thought Skipp should have been booked too if only for the accumulation of fouls

 

He's probably one of these Michael Oliver-style officials.
Doesn't give anything early, loses control, then goes batshit in the 2nd half.
Can't stand them.

 

Best thing for RCL is to join in the Spurs songs and get chucked out
