RDZ hammered this lot with no wingers or full backs

That's what I keep thinking back in December. We battered them for 80 mins scored 4 although last 10 were backs to the wall stuff

 

[raymondo]

it’s not but it wouldn’t matter so much if they weren’t in behind within five seconds every time it was given away.

i take your point, but again it’s the system. same root cause. ball to a player with incoming pressure, idea being they look for and find the spare man. except there is no spare man. and the defence are so high up the opposition are in behind almost immediately after. dreadful.

Agreed, it's the system, it's putting the players under enormous pressure.

RDZ hammered this lot with no wingers or full backs

I’m all for giving the new guy time, although I’m not convinced yet, but it baffles me that we offered RDZ no support in January yet spent £200m on players for the new guy who don’t seem intended to improve our first 11.

 

[Weststander]

FH is making Veltman, Dunk, Webster, Igor all look bloody awful players.

System doesn’t suit against teams with pace.

 

[aolstudios]

Ferdi distribution is looking good at least.

Very good

 

[Littlemo]

What has Hurzeler done to this team?

We lost a lot of PL experience we had in Gross, Milner, Gilmour, Pedro being away or injured. I do think that matters a bit - everything is pretty new.

ETA - It is a worry that we seem to be getting worse and not better though.

 

[GrizzlingGammon]

It's all looking abit shit.

 

[birthofanorange]

Keep the faith, folks - long way to go, yet.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Should be 3-0

 

[US Seagull]

What's Potter up to these days?

 

[Si Gull]

Spurs through again, should have been 3. This is painful.

 

[sjamesb3466]

We're going down with the Palace....

 

[maltaseagull]

If everyone on NSC can see that we need to review defensive strategy,why can't our coach?

Plan B required.

 

[BBassic]

Good grief this is poor.

What's Potter up to these days?

Walking his dog on Hove seafront this morning. I walked past him.

The Gilmour decision seems more and more reckless by the day.

 

[Mike Small]

Jack and Carlos nowhere. Well Hinsh is trying to run with their midfielders. Pri madonna/believe your own hype Baleba is all at sea positionally.

That said, Spurs look very good.

 

[Bodian]

We look appalling. Like a relegation side.

Kadioglu is getting destroyed.

Good shoulder barge - just enough to push Johnson wide there.

 

[TottonSeagull]

Is this fella Sammi Hyypia's live child?

Power play Roberto wanted to win things.
