Everton (H) - Sat 12th Sept, 5:30pm KO

This is now a huge game for us - some might say it's a 'must win'





I would say it's a mustn't lose. The pressure continues to mount on De Zerbi should we fail to get any points.


Gone by Xmas? Perhaps...

Let’s hope we don’t reach the dreaded 2pts from 8 games….

At least a shot on goal?

Is a goal asking too much?

It's ok, Arry's available to do it all again.

We need a fast start and get bodies in the box. We've got our first point...now we need that first goal.
2-1 win...

3 games in with 95% of a brand new team and talk of sacking the manager. Never change Tottenham fans.

In fairness, we are in 19th in the table and haven't scored agaisnt some fairly shit sides. I don't think this will spiral because i believe we do have some talent and DZ is a good manager. But this is Spurs and if we lose 2 or 3 more without scoring in will get intense. However, i think we will score and win home against Everton. Just bound to go our way. Hopeless optimist.

I agree entirely that there's pressure on RDZ because of the amount of money spent but I just think it's a little .. silly .. for some to be calling for his head so soon.

Well I certainly wont be...

I think we've the right man tbh...it's going to take another 4/5 games to properly bed in.
Ok, we need to find the net, but I saw signs of hope against Forest but with several examples of greed (Marmoush)...that's up to RDZ to sort out, and I'm sure he will.
I can see a much improved performance against Everton. Well I hope that's the case...

I definitely think we have the right manager, he will certainly need more time, but there are a couple of things I’m alarmed about with the makeup of the squad—especially the lack of physicality. I think this is going to be a season where we have a few performances where we absolutely blow the doors off the opposition but struggle to grind out performances regularly. Either way we look better than before—low bar I know—and I do agree there’s reason to think we’ll continue to improve.

Porro out injured

Savio, Fernandes and Marmoush behind Solanke could be interesting.

Great start....we look sharp!
It's coming together lads!!

Who among you are brave enough to watch? Dominating so far but can't score. Same old.

Good stuff so far. One of those performances where you think a goal would open the floodgates.

I shall watch my bretheren....I shall risk the pain and anguish in the HOPE of witnessing the coveted 3 points.

Selling Spence now looks like a mistake...

Missed first 20...

It's pretty boring so far

Come on Tonali... Demonstrate why we spent the money...

I'm seeing Bentancur MK2 and not much else right now...

It’s almost like the ideas are there but the execution is pretty terrible.

What the FUCK was that Marmoush ??

I didn't see the first 20... I'm yet to see anything solid...

This is the same garbage so far... If it doesn't change it's gonna become a problem fast.

The movement is still fucking dire going forwards...

Decent half, best one for a while

Van Hecke has been very good. Our best player imo...

That statement on its own tells me everything I need to know about this game...

£400m of attacking options and our centre half is out best player...

Fucking bullshit and I'm getting frustrated with it now...

Fucking hell Kinsky

Can not keep the total dross coming from this lot, oh time bedding in.

Nonsense look at City,look at Sunderland,look at Hull, 8/10/12'new players. Had same time as De Zerbi to coach,instruct and get someone who understands we must challenge for every ball, get a tackle in instead of standing back, running between two opposition, and win the first and 50/50 ball.

Shoot early instead of trying to walk the ball into the net, shoot shoot shoot and make the keeper work, be alert for a rebound .

No one can pass to their own team mates, and we have no one to win the ball in the air, or even look like they are going to score or create a chance.

Why has Maddison only just come on? .Again. This bloody coach is totally clueless.The balls into the box are aimless and cause no panic from the opposition.

We will loose by 3/4 at scousers in the week. Bergvhall again cannot make a 10 yd pass to his own teamate. Shocking crap again. danboy61
