Tottenham Hotspur Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2024/25

Jesus its like we are three or four men down, what is happening

Kiith

Fulham will get back in this unless something changes. We're so ****ing deep, just asking for them to come at us.

MrKingsley

Something very reminiscent of latter stage poch with the full backs giving their wingers all the time in the world to pick a cross.

Mitrovic is going to do it tonight

Glebee

How in the name of christ is sanchez a premier league CB????

MonkieSocks

Beautiful run by Lamela:)

MrKingsley

Lamela has bust a gut non stop all season and he's added proper quality on the ball the last month. He needs to be starting every game from here on in i think

golfball37

Even if we get out of this with a win the second half shows why we need a change. It’s a replica of Wolves, Palace, Fulham all over. Take the lead and sit back. It works if you have Chellini and Cannovara at the back, not Eric Dier and Sanchez. Pitiful. A win shouldn’t gloss over the tactics which are all wrong for the level of player at his disposal.

Ormus

Well said

Kiith

3 points, ****e performance. I'll take it, especially with other teams dropping points.

joeguevara

Tough second half. But a wina win. 3pts away from a top 4. What a week we have had. 3 wins and 3 clean sheets.

tom1ie

Jesus we were lucky to get away with that tonight.

Unfortunately I think Mourinho will be delighted that we got 3 points and a clean sheet

Thats the worst win i have ever seen, demonstrated absolutely everything wrong with this side.

Theres no way you could justify that back five performing like that game after game, i dont care who the manager is

MonkieSocks

Good result, not a good second half performance, but hopefully 3pts tonight and 2 league wins in a row can give us a confidence booster

:pac: COYS

Of course he'll be delighted we got 3 points and a clean sheet. So should we.

We should not be so happy about the performance.

Yeah sorry I meant more so that he will see it as proof that we can continue like that

greenspurs

Sounds like i was lucky i didnt see the game ?




Results went our way too, so maybe we are kinda back in the top4 race ? :P

Didn't see the game but wasn't surprised it was a tough game, Fulham have been very good over the last 3 months or so and have given all the top teams a tough game. I think Parker is doing a really good job and don't know how he played last night but Anderson their centre half is somebody I think we should be looking at. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they won at Anfield on Sunday and I think they will stay up.
Good to get the 3 points but was a poor performance by all accounts. I know its the 'dream front 4' but I think having Dele and Bale in the same team is a recipe for disaster with our defence. Lamela gives you so much more energy and effort than either but obviously doesn't have the skill of Bale in particular. Worried that Jose was quoted as saying that Dele did well when he came on against West Ham, he mustn't have been watching the same game I was watching. By all accounts Kane was atrocious last night but no sign of Vinny getting on.
Think we will see a lot of changes on Sunday with Reggie, Aurier and probably Dier coming back in with Lamela and Moura to start.

Hope we see reggie back in, we are a much better team with him.
Same for aurier, I think he’s better than Doherty at the minute even with his brain farts.
I hope he keeps the CBS the same and let’s Toby and Sanchez develop for a bit to see what happens.

3rd game in 7 days, doubt if he'l play Toby again Sunday.

Tobys our best CB by miles. Chopping and changing is bloody killing us. Let a partnership develop.

Lad GAGA

Nearly everyone bar Jose knows he's our best CB. But with all these games coming thick and fast he needs to manage their game time. Read that Kane looked knackered on Thursday, he needs to be rested as well when he can. Two big games this coming week, ideally think he shouldn't start in both of them.

davycc

Nice one super Burnley ha ha. You should have won it too. Some great defense imho!!

3 wins and 3 clean sheets. Jaysus Fulham was a tough one but we won. We blitzed Burnley and they drew with arsenal. We should cream Palace tomorrow and they held united to a nil all draw. Lads we are on a roll and we all know that in April we will be nailed on for a top 4 finish and 2 cups too. We happy with that?

I think its possible to separate the result from the performance, and to ask whether we *should* be having to rely on luck.

There's nothing brilliant about not be able to pass, mark or tackle and its not like we settled in against peak ac milan and got an admirable result.

We made fulham look like brazil 1970 and half our players looked utterly disinterested, and we stole a point from a team whose players i felt more proud of than ours at the final whistle.

I can't put a positive spin on anything, bar the three points- and nobody has complained about the three points!

joeguevara

Since 27 January, Fulham have had 5 draws, 2 wins and a loss before we beat them so our win was a good result.

Palace drew with united so if we win its a 5 point turnaround. Also Burnley drew with arsenal today so our 4 nil win looks class. Watching Brighton Leicester now so any Brighton result will be huge.

Palace is a tough game but I am going for a 2 goal win for the legends. Interesting to see what the line up will be.

Results goin our way alright today

Charliebull

Pool beaten again
3 points today and by some miracle we are back in top 4 race

Some serious added time allowed when liverpool are seeking a goal, huh?

Must be nice to be one of those clubs that refs just can't bear to see losing.

Charliebull

Poxy bastards utd

MonkieSocks

Lad GAGA

Surprised Toby and Bale are starting. Should have enough to beat them with no Zaha, hopefully we can have the game wrapped up by half time.

tom1ie

No confidence in winks.
We really need to start and continue with high intensity.

Mr. Guappa

Winks. Ugh.

Heres hoping doherty and winks dont drag the rest down- far too often we let the worst performance set the tone rather than a leader stepping in around it

abff

Results so far today 0-0, 0-1, 0-2. Surely we can’t lose 3-0 at home to Palace!?!

celt262

FFS Winks

tom1ie

Good to see keano getting a bit of stick about his reggie comments.

That has to be a yellow ffs

Encouraged by the movement up front and a bit more intent in passes

Little sloppy at the key moment but an ok start

Doherty so bereft of confidence its painful to watch- he is starting ok but cant do two things right in a row!

MrKingsley

Took me 15 minutes to realise Winks was playing. This is going to be a turgid match

Glebee

Sonny needs a goal. Just not happening for him at the moment.

Son is taking it, hesitating, playing it safe, not using reguilon at all.

Winks is ok so far. Hojbjerg giving it away too much. Lucas bale looking sharp.

Few lads have stopped looking for the ball the last few, no sign of bale or son when the ball is in and around their areas.

Look a lot more solid than usual tho imo

Timing

Brilliant from lucas. 95% of the time an attacker fouls there but that was clean as a whistle

joeguevara

Bale is a Fcucking legend.

We are going to win the Premiership.

Moura is class winning balls back.

tom1ie

YES! well done moura! Never gives up.
COYS!

abff

First home goal of the day!��
