Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 Everton (Sat 24 Aug, 3:00 PM)

It's easier to blame the manager than accept were relegation fodder.

Well we amassed 48 points last year….thats not relegation fodder…that’s firmly mid table. Based on pre season this year and the first two games in we defo look like relegation fodder. So we’ve either regressed or we haven’t, we will gain steam in the next few weeks but we were just not well prepared for the season by a manager who is know for poor starts to the season

Giving Armstrong a few minutes. Interesting

You got the third and fourth the wrong way around mate.

Also it wasn't Lindstrom losing the ball it was McNeil.

Giving the ball away on the edge of the opponents box doesn’t lead to a massive chance and goal in a properly structured team.

Mykolenko our best defender today by a distance.

Low bar to be honest

 

[Terrarian]

We've conceded more goals than we've had shots, grim

 

[Dixieslaces]

We might as well try someone else even if what you say is true. Dyche has got nothing but a complete whooping against two teams so far with better quality teams left to play. I'll apologise if someone else comes in and does just as poorly. Everyone, literally everyone, knows how Dyche will play every single game. And how he's set us up to play isn't working. Maybe you're right, maybe it'll be just as bad under someone else but we might as will give it a go because I struggle to see how we can be worse at the moment.

Armstrong coming on for Gueye

 

[NorthernBlue]

Maybe Moyes could do a job. At least he gets the club and understands. Prob would be our best bet if we could get him to come with so much negativity and uncertainty surrounding us.

Sadly this is true. He’d come. He would have even jibbed West Ham off for us.

 

[Neiler]

It was last week that was the gut punch, not getting anything at Spurs was expected but it’s also the manner of the defeat. They are poor but they are not playing for him

What if they decide they don’t want to o,ay for the next fella in six months.

 

[Big Bad Blue]

Post match press conference will be the same old rubbish, lines such as;

'I thought we defended well in general'

'We were certainly bright in parts'

'Sometimes you need a bit of luck'

'They have got good players'

'I don't think you ever have an easy game against them'

'They can open you up'

Fact is he is just a garbage coach

It's easier to blame the manager than accept were relegation fodder.

And it's easier to blame the manager than accept that fans have been far too patient and passive with the ownership over the last 25 years.

 

[DualityNSNO]

McNeil is actually gonna finish this game hahah

Giving the ball away on the edge of the opponents box doesn’t lead to a massive chance and goal in a properly structured team.

Because we aren't, we are coached to defend our own box basically that's it.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

The players were not put in a position to win today. It doesn’t mean another manager would have won it, but putting them into a position where they could do so is the whole job and many weeks Dyche falls short of this.

You're right there mate.

Their ability dictated it.

Both can be true.

Indeed.

Big few days in the window though because if they don't bring in some pace - as I said all summer, it'll go to May again.

 

[larbert toffee]

We deserve so much better than this dross.
