Lenglets lack of pace means that our whole offside trap is different & playing that high line is a lot more dangerous.As a replacement for either Torres or Mings, he is much weaker.

But he isn’t as epically shit as Zanillo

Offside line seemed to be working fine in the first half. I think he's decent to be honest as backup to Konsa/Torres. If you want to see a bad centre back, Diego chaos Carlos gave it a fair go in his cameo from hell today. He's awful and then some. Emery might have been thinking to get some minutes into him today before starting v Ajax, please don't Unai..
Basically I just don't like Spurs.I think Maddison and Johnson are decent players, but just seeing them score irritates me. Maddison is such a smug little fucker with his darts nonsense, and I think he was aiming them at our fans? Johnson winking at Mr Darts after scoring and shushing our fans? A pair of bellends.I know they're footballers and probably have to have some form of rubbish celebration, but still. Fuck off.

Fuck off.To be fair I’ve no doubt they were getting plenty of abuse, so if fans dish it out they’ve got to take it back. Maddison is especially annoying, but he’s a good player.

He’s one I’d be looking to move on in the summer, particularly as he’s likely to be on hefty wages.
No he looks great in the Newcastle game and some of the games that followed.
Based on what i saw today, they would have trounced us at home if they ahd all their players available They are better than us and have more squad depth. It fucking pains me to say it. I think they did somw great business in the summer while ours looks mixed now

It fucking pains me to say it. I think they did somw great business in the summer while ours looks mixed nowIf we'd have had all our players fit we would have trounced them today.Would we? Who was missing JJ and kamara. Mings and buendia we havent had all season so cant really include them.They had something like 6-7 out vs us and still gave us a game. We had two players out and got destroyed. Im not convinced we would have trounced them at all daveSo you don't think that not having them means our squad is not weakened for the whole season. The two replacements for them are Lenglet and Zaniolo for one. And whilst Lenglet has been alright, he doesn't offer the rock we need or the leadership on the pitch, especially when under the cosh.We havent had eithee player all season. Although i agree they are better than zaniolo and lenglet we knew they are probanly not gonna play this season so really we cant include those two players.We cabt be losing 4-0 at home and saying we have major injuries when we only have two players out

Quote from: Skerra on March 10, 2024, 06:31:04 PMI did say that if we went high press, we would win the match. However, if we went for our slow, slow and even slower style, we would get beaten. Unfortunately, it was Spurs that went for the high press.I just can’t accept this thing about us being tired because we played on Thursday. We hardly broke a sweat v Ajax and, continued in the same vein today. Also, if we think we can’t handle playing in the conference league, how the hell are we going to cope if we go into the champions league. Teams will be much stronger than the conf league ones and, we really can’t afford to rotate players so much in the ECL.It's not the 90s mins played in Europe so much as the time to travel there and back. Sitting on a bus, sitting on a plane, hanging around having to prepare for that game etc rather than being at home doing the usual prep for a big league game.Lots of teams struggle with it and it is new to us this year
