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

[Dublin blue 75]

Dyche whingeing today he is down to 'about 14 first team players' for Saturday. Well you signed three within the close season that you opted not to select last weekend. Cant have it both ways.

"I need more players. NO NOT THOSE ONES!!!"

Let's just quickly file this one away to be moved on from.

I am dreading the thought of what that backline is going to look like.

reminds me of when we had no squad against chelsea away and branthwaite scored the goal and it finished 1-1

 

[knowing your history]

Absolutely ridiculous for the squad to be this stretched in August

It was a bit like this last season.

All of McNeill, Harrison and Myko didn't play until September. DCL played 20 minutes v Villa and then returned v Arsenal in the fifth game. Branthy also didn't start the first two.

Going to be a very heavy defeat on Saturday realistically but start of last season showed a poor start is more than recoverable so hopefully a few are back for Bournemouth and especially Leicester away in the fifth match.

Who played upfront that night, Simms and Dobbin?! Yeah that was a ridiculous point as that was a period where the xmas fixture list was decimated by late covid call offs. Also beat Arsenal the week before with the dramatic late show so that was the highlight of FSW time here before it inevitably collapsed.

4/9 spurs to win with William Hill, with a back four of Holgate, Keane, O’Brian, Miko it’s going to be a hiding!

He’s absolutely gutted he can’t play Young.

Tottenham Hotspur 5
Everton 1

What about the 2nd half?

 

[Jeff Jones]

Another day of Keane incoming

He scored a cracker against Spurs a couple of years ago. Kept us up, IIRC.

We had simms up front on his debut the wingers were Gordon and iwobi, the central midfielders were Gomes and doucoure and the back 5 was Godfrey, Branthwaite making his second appearance, Holgate, Keane and Jonjoe Kenny

Gomes went off after 70 mins and Gbamin came on

Anthony Gordon got subbed off after 90 mins for Onyango

Dobbin came on for Simms after an hour

After this game it'll be highly unlikely we enter positive goal difference at any point this season imo. We'll probably be on -6 or worse after 2 games. Have we ever had a season where we've never, not even for a single minute of the season, been in positive goal difference? We're that bad and so injury-ravaged that I bet even Timo Werner gets on the scoresheet.

 

[Delargeinho]

I hope, we analyzed the game well.

Spurs were all over Leicester in the first 50-55 min, but then they decided to press higher and equalized, and Spurs looked quite rattled after that. Could have even gone well for a Leicester win.
