Probably explains why Bournemouth are only averaging around 11/10 for the win.

Dr. Tottenham will see you now

 

[Style And Glory]

Dr. Tottenham will see you now

My thoughts too.
It just seems so inevitable. The Tonic for all other club's ills.

Saying that, we're playing them the day their best player is doing his medical at Man City, so who knows.

 

[Dave]

Would like to see a 4-3-3 with a midfield 3 of Bergvall, Gray and Paulinha. Need energy and a bit of bite in there. Don't know what justifies Bentancur as a guaranteed starter...I just don't get it.

I'd love to see Bergvall, Gray and Sarr. Then bring on Paulie and Bentancur if we have a late lead. No matter how we play it, it's pretty uninspiring.

Sarr is still in AFCON with Senegal--they're in the quarterfinal Friday.

Forgot that. The Cherries are a shambles, but I've no doubt they'll find a way to beat us.

[jaxdermot]

so excited

 

[Dave]

Good man Tel...

 

[Havocc]

Nice

 

[BrooklynYid]

I can't tell if we're really lively or if the Cherries are just going through the motions.

 

[Dave]

Fuck sake...we're so poor at the back. Ball watching!!

 

[BrooklynYid]

We give up a bad goal and now we're getting overrun. Order is restored.

 

[Style And Glory]

Bingo with the Tonic.

 

[USspur]

what the fuck ever eh

 

[BrooklynYid]

Thought for sure it was off, but of course the pass was backwards so good goal. What on Earth were we doing?

 

[Dave]

What's plainly obvious to me is watching these players....jogging around the pitch...JOGGING! Where's the senior players ? The so called leaders ? Dont see captain Romero leading by example...?? They look absolutely fucked. No energy.

It's shockingly bad at the back and not much better in midfield.

 

[USspur]

Porro has to go. I like him as a player, but he clearly doesnt care.

 

[BrooklynYid]

Porro, like a lot of our players, is not trying very hard. Also, the chemistry and interaction between our players is just awful. Sure the players are at fault, but a lot of that comes from the manager. This looks grim.

 

[ClemFandango]

I couldn't be arsed to put it on. Maybe if I watch the second half they'll realise i'm watching and sort it out ..

 

[USspur]

I can only imagine the halftime chat the Cherries just had
"Lads... it's Tottenham..."

 

[Havocc]

Take off Paulina and bring on Richarlison. We are fucking losing!!!

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Can someone explain to me what we are about?

Every manager we have been through in the last decade (and earlier) had an identity, a way of playing that the players could follow. But not this fucking guy…and that’s why he needs to go. He’s done. Fuck off now.

 

[USspur]

not a pen for me.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Never a pen.

 

[Dave]

Its the first tackle that's a pen, not the second surely. There's clearly contact...

 

[BrooklynYid]

Holy Christ, PAULIE!
