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

[Blue peter]

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

It will be likely because the next fella is crap as well, it’s rare that good manager getting good performances from a squad that the players down tools. I’m not a lover of sacking managers willy nilly but I don’t take last week as his first game. I’m seeing the same mistakes. It’s not professional at all for players to down them…they should be playing for thr supporters, but it does make you wonder if we can see flaws with him, they certainly can. I would absolutely hate to play under him….its not football.

Everton starting a season poorly? Strains credulity!

Third year in a row we have lost our first two games.

 

[Vintage]

I think he'll blame the lads he brought on as subs, along with Nixon. He'll try to make out that he's been hard done by with the options he's been given.

Don't see what the Watergate scandal has got to do with this performance

 

[RomanReigns]

Let’s see what Sean guardiola does against Bournemouth

 

[The T-Dex]

Was McNeil mate trying to play it through, he even did the McNeil gormless stop and stare after giving it away

After he ignored the easier pass.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Its an expected loss.
I'm not surprised.
We're miles behind most pl clubs of our ilk,whatever that is.
The answer,I don't know.
Could anyone get a tune out of this shitshow*?

*apologies

 

[Moderatelywarmwater]

Last season we went what felt like 3 months without winning, got dockd loads of points and still stayed up without any problems.
As desperate as this start feels, we’ve a long long long way to go still. We will be ok. Heads up everyone

I don’t think anyone is arguing that we aren’t relegation fodder. A new manager at least gives us a hope of avoiding the drop.

They are mate. Like so;

How are we relegation fodder this season after comfortably finishing midtable (removing point deductions) and only losing Onana?

The defending these two games I can understand with no Branthwaite.

It's Dyche's decisions that are mind-boggling and costing us though. Michael Keane should never play for us. Ashley Young the same. He's kept his mates Dyche and Harrison in the team along with Doucouré instead of playing the new signings.

Those are his decisions costing us for me.

 

[Fedlingen]

Let’s see what Sean guardiola does against Bournemouth

I'm begging he stays at home.

 

[PhilRegan]

Third year in a row we have lost our first two games.

There's losing then there's this

 

[GrandOldTeam]

It's dyche he's a mediocre manager at best and he keeps selecting Keane who is an abomination

At least we can pin hope on OBrien now...

 

[Ozwell]

4-0

Well predicted

 

[spudmuncher]

At least lindstrum and ndiaye look like they can control and pass a football... dcl and docoure are awful .... Dixon a marked improvement on young... dyches judge of players is atrocious.... having no manager would be not be any worse tbh

 

[bluestevon]

If remove the deduction - it took us until 34th game to get 40 points.

We've averaged 41 points for 3 years now.

People made our like signing NDiaye and Lindstrom would make all the difference

We are playing a CB who we concede 3+ goals on average every 1/3rd of the games he's posted in mate

 

[windymiller]

You're right there mate.

Their ability dictated it.



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.

If we keep Dyche it'll be done before May. I've been saying I thought he'd keep us up despite me not being able to stand him but after these two showings, both absolute shambles tactically, I no longer think that's true. -7 gd flatters is, we were worse than that over the two games.
