Brentford Bees (A) PL Saturday 17.30

[Don Diaz]

Chance to get back on track against Christian and the boys, at a new bus stop in Hounslow according to their fans.

I like Brentford a lot but not so much that I don't want us to beat them. Don't care what the score is.

Seems to me that Don Tony should have 'beasted' everybody this week after the shit last week, and he also needs to come up with a plan for the right back slot pretty quickly. I trust he will and we win this 2-1. COYS

LEVY OUT

 

[J.spurs]

This is a very awkward one (to say the least--they've won 5 of their last six) but we obviously have to win. They're missing a number of players to injury, though. Hopefully Tony has, as Don suggests, put a rocket up the boys' collective backside, and we can get off to a quick start.

 

[ClemFandango]

I'm sure I read a stat that said they're second to Liverpool in something or other at the moment. I wasn't paying much attention to be fair ..

 

[BrooklynYid]

I don't give a flying crap how well they're playing. Win or else! This ain't 2012 Barca. Win the game, Tony. Happy for Christian and all, but kick the snot out of him and get the 3 points. I'm sure we'll fuck it up. Fucking Leveyed.

 

[Glenjamin]

Sonny Hattrick to get him within 2 goals of the golden boot!

Need to keep that Mbeumo fella quiet. Eriksen seems to have had a positive effect on him.

 

[ClemFandango]

Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Bentancur, Højbjerg, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Son, Kane.

I suspect that, barring injuries, this will be the first choice 11 until the end of the season.

 

[Don Diaz]

Please please Mr Emerson Royal have a good game. Try and be a defender and find the ability to cross the ball.

Just win lads COYS

 

[ClemFandango]

Now 3 hours of play without a single shot on goal.

Lovely.

Now 3 hours of play without a single shot on goal.

Lovely.

Keep calm we’ve just had 1 bad game and a quiet 25mins. Prior to that we were banging in 4 goals a game

 

[Havocc]

Is it pressure that’s making us play so badly?

 

[Don Diaz]

Is it pressure that’s making us play so badly?

No, Brentford are playing well, with a lot of energy, on form and at home.

Game will be won/lost in last 20 mins

 

[Dorset]

Really? It might be true that Brentford are playing reasonably well, but then we should be playing better. We don't look like a Champion's League side. I expected a decent performance after last week's dross, this is just more of the same, boring, dull, no clue, no passion.

 

[ClemFandango]

We’re shit but the referee is giving them everything

 

[Yid]

This game is a carbon copy of the Brighton game...

Nothing has been learnt or changed...

We're labourous in midfield apart form the first 5 mins when we passed it quickly round corners and turned them to face their own goal once or twice.

Brentford are playing better than us, working harder and have a player who can create a chance for them...

Kane looks like he is bored shitless... I don't see a leader out there running the show... we used to have half a dozen... now no one looks up for the job.

The ref has been a shit cunt and given us nothing... but he hasn't given them much either.

Oh and Royal... what a fucking spastic.

Another Spursy performance.

 

[Havocc]

We are making such hard work of it, it’s really poor

 

[ClemFandango]

And, again, Conte isn’t even thinking about throwing anybody on or changing things up.

Lucas is one of our most energetic and creative players and he’s not getting a look in when we probably need him the most. Conte must not rate him at all

 

[Dave]

Hojberg is having a brutal one...again. And as for Royal.....words fail me. One of the worst defenders to wear the shirt imo.
The player I never see anymore at Spurs is the shouter, the leader on the pitch, the bloke the rest are almost afraid of....we don't have one, and in games like this, it's exactly what's needed. If we nick this, it'll be daylight robbery.

 

[ClemFandango]

Oh look, finally a sub. And it’s a defender.

 

[ClemFandango]

This will be Brighton all over again and they’ll get a late winner.

 

[Havocc]

This will be Brighton all over again and they’ll get a late winner.

Probably by Eriksen!!!

 

[Yid]

Kula has been utterly dog shit...

Done nothing but give the ball away.

Our strikers must be being told to stay high as they're not showing for the ball at all... they're not going looking for it... which we've seen Kane do numerous times when we've lacked creativity...

But this is killing us... its making us so one dimensional and easy to defend against. Its isolating the main weapons of the side and if Benny or Peire play flat and next to one another... as they've done tonight and against Brighton there's nothing g to link the play forwards and break the lines.

Spursy cunts. We deserve to be mid table shit cunts playing like this.

 

[Dave]

Not one attempt on target in the last 2 games. Chasing champions league football. Not getting it could mean disaster including possibly losing our coach and Kane....yet does it show ? Does it fuck. I've said it before, this squad is very thin on quality. Kane, Son , Romero, Bentancur and even Doherty would be 5 I'd keep, but the rest are average PL standard players.
It's all about May 12th now, but if we can't make the keeper's work, we're fucked. We've got fuck all creativity in our starting 11, hence why Kane and Son have to come so deep to get involved. Oh what I'd give to get that Danish gem back in a Spurs shirt. We've never really recovered from him leaving. What he gives is priceless...

Very pissed off.

 

[NiceOneCyril]

It was notable that we looked instantly better when Sanchez came on. Not because he did anything, but because Sessegnon went off. We have shit wingbacks, so our front three get no help, and we are understaffed in midfield.

Why does Conte persist with a system we don’t have the personnel for? Is he that intransigent?

 

[ClemFandango]

Well that was a load of shit. So everyone now knows that Conte's system can be fucked over by just putting someone on Kane. Arsenal did their best to give us the advantage in the top four race by losing 3 in a row and it's like we're saying "Thanks for the effort, but we really didn't want it anyway"

 

[Don Diaz]

Very poor, no pace, no creativity no energy or seemingly any enthusiasm for the fight. Where’s the quick passing and running off the ball gone? Ok so Brentford we’re well organised and packed their defence on the second half but we have to be better than that.

4/10

 

[ClemFandango]

I suppose we're probably right back to where we were a few weeks ago now with them being 2 points ahead, although I think they were 2 points ahead with a game (or two) in hand, so that's probably the only positive you can take from the game.

 

[BrooklynYid]

How does a team with supposedly the best front line in the league go two games against average competition and not take a shot on target? Some of it is tactics but Kane and Son were awful today. Wll take a monumental effort to beat Leicester. Top 4 does not look attainable, which is sad because Arsenal are crap.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Well we are going to fuck this up, aren’t we?

We are. That’s what we do.

The last 180 minutes of football tell you all you need to know about this club.

 

[ClemFandango]

And the ultimate kick in the nuts will be that they’ll end up turning in a performance against Liverpool of the like they did against City and give us all a bit of false hope again before rolling over for Arsenal and throwing it all away once and for all.

 

[Havocc]

Kane has been dog poo lately. Perhaps he has realised it’s easier to leave the club if we don’t qualify for the champions league
