they look a class above

That's because we have a sh!te manager.

Kidding yourself. These are better all over the park. We've got players who take 3 touches to get the ball under control and can't look across a line to stay onside.

Putting more effort in too. Spurs look hungry. We look half arsed.

 

[lesbattersby]

Terrible, don't begrudge them the goal but we gifted it to them. Need to step it up 2nd half, we can still win this but need to get on the front foot.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

I would have said that a couple of months ago. On paper, I can't see how Spurs are doing it, but they are a class act on the pitch. Poch is some manager.

Confidence is the difference, nothing else mate.

 

[bretts angell]

time for martinez to inspire a turnaround like we've seen from our opposition in the past 5 games.

 

[Bluerover]

What are our CB's doing there, no way Coleman should be left to cover him, it's in the centre of our goal.

This - the two centre backs should be cleaning that long high ball not leaving it to the right back.

This has been coming and we are facing a pumping in the second half unless there is a huge change in approach

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Brutal performance. We scored against the run of play and have been totally outplayed since. This is the closest performance to when we were completely koff last season. Defence is all over the shop turning their backs on shots etc. I know alot of people rate Barry this year but I think he's not offering enough cover for our 2 center backs who themselves aren't doing the bizz. What is kone for ..... I've no idea.

Jags cant come back quickly enough for poor Funes Mori. Its been a hell of an introduction to the league and he is tired, sloppy and nervous right now.

This is the first game he's been involved in where we have been under sustained pressure. He hasn't looked up to scratch.

I've said it before, wouldn't look out of place at Villa.

 

[gianthogweed]

Our midfield is p!ss poor there is only Barry in there who puts a tackle in and the closing down from shots outside the area is non existent
if this continues in the 2nd half we will lose the game

 

[LocalNative]

It's ok, Deulofeu will probably come on for Lennon at around 80minutes. Then Mirallas for Kone on the 88th.

Time for Martinez to start making bold decisions early.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Leicester, Stoke, Spurs.

Currently on one point from those three home games with a fully fit squad bar Jagielka and massively outclassed by Spurs somehow not losing.

Losing all those three and manager seemingly still untouchable? Outrageous.

 

[Jags..class]

Is jags fit enough yet?

 

[D.Robbo]

It just shows he can't get the balance between attacking and defending.

 

[Toffee-nerd]

Defenders defend please ffs

 

[hktoffee]

You don't need to lose another game to bring Jags on.
