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

[Neiler]

The ceiling for this teams attack is 10th. We’re 20th. Call it a marginal gain if you want.

Is that arbitrary or based on analysis.

It was the second worst attacking unit in the league last season, with many of the players with horrible XG.

Very much tactical imo

Very much tactical imo

I go back to start mate - I don’t think we have quality players, even players with a variance of tools or attributes.

I think the last two games - given our quality - we would get stuffed because we have worse players, different tactic's or philodpry I think we get stuffed - in fa t we have under other mangers with different approaches.

The platers aren’t good enough.

The only thing that will see us competitive is attitude and fight - there in not even that at the moment.

 

[GoldenToffee]

McNeil, Harrison, Calvert Lewin = accepting defeat in EVERY game.

Quite likely the worst 'front three' in the football league.

The first two just move the ball backwards and the last one just leaps around like a ballerina…

if dyche keeps this up we will see similar scenes to that at west ham 6 years ago

You really don't want that. I was there that day and it was horrible.

 

[IV(AC)]

Utter horror show from start to finish.
Only credit goes to Dixon tbf - well done lad

 

[GoldenToffee]

-7 goal difference after 2 games.

 

[kenada_blue]

Just like against Brighton. 2nd goal a gift and we're pretty much done when that happens

 

[bluestevon]

Any player who misses a couple of defeats is instantly praised as the missing piece.

Gueye has been terrible in the first two games but all the blues in work were saying how much we missed him when he missed the West Ham and United games in March.

Because he was in firm when out then, he's out if form now

I don’t think it makes a blind bit of difference mate, everything people were saying the wanted last week happened today and was equally manure, Dixon plays, Ndaye, Linstrom got a third if the game.

Didnt make a blind but if difference, we have very poor quality players - we’re not good enough.

Spurs were a million times better then us.

Spurs are undoubtedly a million times better than us.. But as we did last season, we need to make this squad, greater not lesser than the sum of its parts. Branthwaite, Garner and O Brien could make a big difference. Then it allows the younger players like Armstrong and Dixon to develop. Personally, I would blood the younger players quickly and see were it takes us. They can only get better. The Youngs and Coleman' s etc are only going to get worse

 

[If You Know Your History]

Just got back from the game. I've seen us lose to Spurs many times, but at least we showed some fight today.

The kopites are delighting in our misery and assuming that we will now turn on our players.

Let's not give them the satisfaction.

Well done mate for travelling that far and backing us x

If this is about Garner, we miss him a lot.

Keane another 4+ loss in his column

I said this at the game today. On social media people being edgy saying Keane not that bad today. Which he wasn't. But it's the impact he has on everyone around him.

He drags Tarkowski and Pickford down.
