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

[Ducans elbow]

Doucs is one of a few that shouldn’t be starting no technical ability just a runner in my opinion

Let’s bye some new players and leave them in the bench ,

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Bored of this season already.

I’m not saying sack him or anything but he’s lost a serious amount of goodwill from last season with these dire team selections.

 

[Blue peter]

Meaning that the GoT whingers are still (as always) correct?

"Put him in!"
Puts him on teamsheet.
"You only put him in so you could blame him if he was poor!"

If he intended to play him this week, why didn’t he bring him in last week at home when he brought Holgate on?

 

[TGW89]

This whole thing stinks of Stamford Bridge in April. If Palmer had just been a bit sharper we'd have been the fall guys in the prem's first ever 10-niller - but maybe today is that day.

 

[AndyP94]

I feel like if dyche lived in the 1930's he would still be traveling with horse and buggy while everyone else is using automobiles , so resistant to change

Probably still uses a black and white TV

 

[HTCHERO]

Don't worry boys and girls he will make changes at the 82nd minute to fix his mistakes.

 

[Victus]

Doucs will score today I can feel it.

 

[irishtony1878]

He always makes players look worse because they are covering for him all the time.

He's had 1 bad game since he's been here.
Unbelievable fella, you need to go and watch another sport, you don't get this one.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

We avoided an old school Keane howler in the most traditional sense last week. I fear he will revert to mean today and directly cost us.

 

[NathDogg]

At least he’s realised that holgate isn’t an option it seems.

Best of luck to young dico, hope the older lads help him out and to settle in.

The reluctance to blood the new players frustrates me but I kinda get it, but they must get some minutes today.

Just keep working blues, and stay in the game, the spurs defence will offer up chances, we just need to take them.

 

[AndyP94]

Shame Lindstrom and Ndiaye aren’t starting ahead of Harrison

 

[Furey1878]

Huge call on Dixon there. Hopefully it's out of confidence in his ability more.than it is sheer desperation.

Wanted to see Doucoure drop to the bench but otherwise no complaints with that 11.

 

[mikel_88]

Have to feel for Dixon being given his debut in this match. Sure he won't be complaining but we are going to get pumped here.

Why holgate most likely be off, we dont kno how long coleman/ paterson out for and young out for another two games. Is a test for the lad to see if we shoulr be after another fb, is a great test for the lad and i am sure did not expect this early. Woukd prefer him playing than holagte

I dont get the logic of playing the same team which was garbage last week( bar Dixon). . At least introduce one of Ndiaye or Lindstrom.

I get it again would have like obrien but understand the rest away from home as he trust the rest esp in midfield defensively

 

[Furey1878]

Why does he do this?

Rather than make subtle changes or potential game changing changes or even obvious ones (O'Brien and Ndiaye) he makes one wild change but leaves a lot of the dross in.

I love that Dixon is getting his chance, but if we do get battered, him being the only change means he'll be Dyches scapegoat and in comes Holgate next game

You've answered your own question there. The right back spot is such an issue that a kid had to come in, so on that basis I can see why he's kept the rest the same.

 

[formerly manx toffee]

Need to hold tight early doors. They will come at us. Hope Pickford is on form
