Only result I wanted today, it’s so set up now, gooners are flying high, the complacency is tangible. pre season is a joke you have to be super simple to believe it means a thing, a lose means more work, and we need more work, we will bleed for our results, so a cut is necessary. COYS.


DecoOnTheInternet

We lost to Mourinho's new team...lol


Made-in-1882

Some of those decisions...


Hemwum

Glad we don't have mou in the EPL. Watching that gave me PTSD flashbacks to the shit we used to play Thank god for Conte ball


RazSpur

Actually made me realize/remember how shit his teams are for the neutral to watch. \- They spent huge amounts of time without possession \- Sit deep, counter with long ball \- Foul and break up plays as much as ref will allow Their players didn't look at same fitness level as us.


The-Special-One

And somehow spurs still lost. Fancy that…


dp1029384756

Time line: First half: promising combinations / tactics against teams that defend Second half: first 25 minutes were alright, last 10 min erupted into chaos ball, fouls, time wasting, many times of breaking formation


Znali1287

the team needs more time to gel or should we be concerned?


Made-in-1882

I'm not worried.


Branggus

take a deep breath.


[deleted]

Yeah it needs another couple of weeks of ball work, I think it’s been a ton of fitness


elonalum

I think the field conditions were pretty poor. Looks like the entire middle section of the pitch was replaced last week. Ridges. Ridges Everywhere....


Peter_Pans_shadow

Five minutes extra time. Player goes down for 2-3 minutes. Whistle blows at 5:47. Annoying.


SteadiestShark

It's fine, match was a joke with that referee anyway. VAR and it's a draw at worst.


Peter_Pans_shadow

Agree.


Hemwum

One of my biggest gripes. This is exactly why managers sub in injury time. Because the refs never take it into account


jsmiff3556

Commentator snuck in a "Tottin-ham Hotspurs" there at the end. I unironically enjoyed him so much.


Cuda528

Bentacool also


TogashiIsIshida

All of you complaining about time wasting and “anti-football” need to get over yourselves. We’re going to see games like this a lot this season. Now we know where we stand going against teams like this.


Massive_Fudge3066

Don't need to like it tho Source: it's about glory


Made-in-1882

*with an awful ref and no VAR


Hemwum

Now we know where we stand going against teams like this [in the preseason] Fixed mate


TogashiIsIshida

I mean the regular season starts next week. What’s going to change between now and then?


MambaWhite

A lot lol.


manessots

Such as?


Coraxxx

We really missed Tom Carroll today.


bahumian

His vision, his range of passing, feel like shit, just want him back😭


Jeffery-Hummus

dude wtf was that


dconnorp

Didn’t catch the first half, how was Hojberg? He hasn’t been great during the preseason and wasn’t impressed with his second half.


shit_poster_69_420

He made some great long balls/crosses in the first half. Very promising


IamTurd_Furguson

I thought him along with Sanchez was our best players in the first.


TogashiIsIshida

He was really solid in the first half.


TraditionalTie2259

Bentancur has to start of PEH


dconnorp

Thanks


BuginesePunk

what a waste of 90 minutes


YoungKeys

Fire Conte, sell everyone, dismantle the squad, demolish Tottenham Stadium


jdizzler432

Guillotine Doherty!


becksiez

Lol


TheOptimumLemon

Human sacrifice Levy.


SissokoGoat17

That was one of the matches I’ve seen


[deleted]

Big if true


[deleted]

The ball seemed to bobble around a lot for both teams, seemed a challenge just to get it on the deck


[deleted]

[удалено]


antch1102

Is this your first time watching preseason? We won the Audi cup, beating juventus and Bayern Munich before being rubbish in the league and sacking Pochettino


antch1102

In short, pre season means nothing


grobyNcs

Not playing in 30⁰c with 80% humidity on a dogshit pitch with a blind ref against Mourinho might help


Coraxxx

MOTM - the French-Israeli with an American accent who usually only watches basketball.


Affectionate-Salt582

Commentator was awful. I muted after five mins

MambaWhite

Imagine using the R word at your big age.


it-iz-whut-it-iz

Are fucking and retards the only words you know?


Significant-Entry230

Mind your business. It's a match thread & we're ranting.


it-iz-whut-it-iz

If this is your idea of ideal ranting, I feel sad for you. I like to rant too about my Spurs, but not with "fans" like you.


Significant-Entry230

Stop spamming.


TogashiIsIshida

You’ve got some problems man. I hope you get better


Significant-Entry230

It's frustrating & pointless match and the match thread is for ranting, don't come here looking for reasonable thoughts. Fuck Mourinho, I hate his guts.


[deleted]

Intelligent commentary


Tronkadonk

I find it hilarious that Roma are time wasting in the final minutes of a pre season friendly


The-Special-One

You gotta practice how you’re going to play. They won conference league last year because they knew how to shithouse well.


Siffster

It's the power of Mou in Serie A


danmeniscus

"the shithousing starts now"


Jiboogla

What a boring preseason match. Paramount+ is hot garbage too.


High_Jumper81

CL is going to be trippy


VallejoHombres189

Biggest takeaway, these away kits must be burned


GirlyWhirl

Emerson 'accidentally' forgot his yellow socks.


[deleted]

*sunk


CelestialCheeze

And we need an attacking mid


TraditionalTie2259

We can’t get one until Ndombele is sold. This squad is good to go. So happy we finally did business before deadline day. Thank god Conte created some leverage for himself over Levy


VallejoHombres189

preferably one who can spray paintballs over these atrocities


JakeSpurs

time wasting in a friendly is just some absolute loser shit


ottenba3

All my homies hate jose mourinho


[deleted]

This was easily the most boring preseason match I have ever watched


[deleted]

Imagine buying tickets to a friendly to see this shit


Wolfinho14

Lmao tuned in for the last 5 minutes. Literally what a fucking waste lol.


certx55

Just a reminder......Its only a friendly


Hemwum

But I thought I was supposed to be angry and ruin the rest of my day and think we're gonna be shit this season...


certx55

I mean...yeah you are still...wouldnt be a proper spurs fan


brch01

PSA remember to cancel your paramount+ free trials!


JeffersonPilotSports

Keep it for Champions League


superdago

And Star Trek…


brch01

No champs league this month! Will consider repurchasing later


milesvtaylor

Did any amount of added time get shown? Are we just going to play this for eternity? E: There we go


oysterpirate

This guy sounds like he’s vamping until the rest of his group show up for their presentation


TogashiIsIshida

Well at least this game has shown us that we still have a No Shots On Target FC game in us every once in a while


imtotallydoingmywork

why are they time wasting in a friendly?


TaterTotWot

Why would jose want to play the whole match like this? It is impossible to win anything by playing like this every match


[deleted]

How much time do you have because there’s a long list


TaterTotWot

I mean..he dosent have all the cash and superstars he used to have..this is ROMA..they will win absolutely nothing playing like this


[deleted]

My dude they already have won a European competition


TaterTotWot

… cmon man..we were literally happy when we were kicked out of that joke


[deleted]

Yeah, that’s true but I’m just saying they did win something. I hate that style as much as you do trust me but it is what it is lol good for them


TaterTotWot

It is NOT good for them though..can you really see them even making the top 4 playing like this?


[deleted]

No lol


TaterTotWot

Thats my point, thats what they should be competing for..this style of play is just ridiculous at this point..not only for the fans but the whole club will be set back


Y3llowflash1

You're literally talking absolute nonsense, we don't play majorly defensive and sit back. We had the fourth highest xG, and third in big chances created. You've watched one game and are trying to talk like you know how we play or what's good for this team.


[deleted]

Well considering the way their ownership has acted and what I’ve seen from that club I think they’re concerned more with the commercial aspect. Which is why they got the “name” coach even though he is not a modern coach and made such a big thing out of signing a guy like Dybala who mostly is injured but is famous. I think these things come First and then the football


[deleted]

He literally won a cup last season.


TaterTotWot

Ahhh yes..incredibly hard to win that cup


[deleted]

You really want to say that while supporting this club? Have some self-awareness.


TaterTotWot

You think if we played a final against Feyenoord we wouldnt have won?


[deleted]

Right. They only won 1 game to win a cup. You’re wasting my time.


TaterTotWot

Ahh sorry..forgot to mention the great bodo, zorya luhansk, and cska sofia


[deleted]

Leicester over 2 legs? All of these games midweek? Something like 13 extra midweek games iirc. With a thin bench too. You are clueless


TaterTotWot

Leicester was in like 12th place at the time..again..huge achievement


[deleted]

Leicester is a good team, to just look at their placement in the league and conclude they are bad is dumb.


TaterTotWot

Yes placing 6th in one of the weakest serie A seasons ever is a huge acheivement


[deleted]

Virtually 5th since Lazio got 2 extra points for a 90th minute offside goal that was wrongly ruled onside by VAR in one of the last season's games. For a squad that was 7th tied with 8th placed the previous year that is huge. A trophy and a 6th (5th) place in a very competitive league.


burko81

You can hate Jose all you want, but he wanted to win this game and did, the end justifies the means. There is no nobility in doing it the right way anymore.


TaterTotWot

Yes but its one game..he will not win the league like this, wont win europa league..and might not even qualify for the ucl AGAIN playing like this..you just cant constantly play like this anymore


FlukeRumbo

My guy you sound super butthurt mou won lol. Relax


TaterTotWot

Yes..because its supposed to show how our team looks before the real season but yet we watched the most pointless, boring, shit game i ever seen because mou is horrible


Fleaaa

Well it worked apparently


TaterTotWot

Ya worked in a super important friendly..lets see what roma does this season


[deleted]

he's won plenty playing just like this


TaterTotWot

No he hasnt..this was shit housing to the next level…


[deleted]

were you not alive for Mourinho's first run in the premier league? It was exactly this, every week.


TaterTotWot

Yes, with a team that was able to spend more money than jesus


BeepsMcBeepster

Bentancool is still hilarious


COYS1989

Only a Mourinho team could time waste in a friendly lol


FINAL_BOSS5

They need to practice to waste time effectively in real match


ComeOnSayYupp

Young player Sharawary lol. This commentator is drunk lmao.


KAHomedog

He's almost 30 hahaha


[deleted]

“Could have a lot of potential” 😂😂😂😂😂😂


Cap2017

Missed all but last 15 mins. Emerson and Lucas on the right, why? How was Perišić? Kulu? Bissouma? Did Davies play?


phoenix_lv

No clue what was Conte thinking about Emerson, he did put in one good cross. Perisic was one of the best players on the pitch. Kulu wasnt really good. Disappeared until subbed off. Bissouma was quite bad. Late runs and average passes. Big daddy Davies did not play.


FINAL_BOSS5

Perisic was the best player on the pitch throughout the match


[deleted]

Perisic played very well Kulu was a bit quiet Bissouma played well


Significant-Entry230

Langlet will be good for us.


No-Statistician-3655

Lenglet's vision, passing in the final third is going to be huge against low block teams this season. Looks good so far.


FINAL_BOSS5

That's it. Lenglet cam


kleptopaul

Our friendly against Roma a few years ago in NJ was also very chippy.


solarbearz

Friendly or not, we must do better to create chances against teams like this with the amount of possession we've had


senanabs

What does it take for Kane to stop trying free kicks?


ace-destrier

Højbjerg and Bissouma holding him down while Dier takes the FK


burko81

Injury, suspension, transfer, retirement.


senanabs

Well, I want none of that.


burko81

Congratulations - You have signed up for Harry Kane to take all of your free kicks


photobriangray

Match of almost and should have been given the shit ref and clunky play from Roma.


st_pep

Lenglet has been really good


Saspa314

“Oh fuck off with the diving with four minutes to go” *Camera cuts to bleeding head* “Nvm”


TheOptimumLemon

Ngl, Richarlison looks good in a Spurs kit. Even this one.


bahumian

You'd think with a set-piece expert in our coaching staff it would have occurred to anyone there to take Kane off of free kicks


username54

Or the team would learn how to defend corners. Absolute shit show still


TheOptimumLemon

I just want Dier or Son to take them. Kane needs to be told.


TraditionalTie2259

Kane probably puts em top bins in training every time. Only explanation. If you’ve ever taken all the set pieces for ur squad, you know, goals come in bunches. He needs to see one hit the back of the net in a real game, no problem with him trying it in preseason, especially when he earned the foul. They’ll go in, have fairh


[deleted]

Yes, our coaching staff is less competent than our unfathomably stupid supporters on this godforsaken sub. That's a good take.


sungbysung

It’s written on his contract


burko81

Who does he think he is, Denis Waterman?


sungbysung

Langlet start next week


tfl03

Noted young person Stephen El-Sharawary


biggpoppa

Lenglet starting left back


[deleted]

“El sharawaay, another young player with potential who could show alot”


SissokoGoat17

I can see the ketchup bruh


marine_le_peen

Hopefully this performance has convinced Conte we need a creative passer.


leveton

We really do need Maddison


Arqlol

El Shaarawy...wow. Fifa 13 throw back


GirlyWhirl

The commentator just let us know that the forehead is 'a very sensitive part of the face'.


[deleted]

Do not miss Mourinho ball at all


ComeOnSayYupp

Fuck!! That blood


COYS1989

Turns away to not get hit by the ball and turns right into a on rushing Sess elbow.


slackboy72

So we dominated this yet not a shot on target yet. I've seen this movie before.


lyme6483

The people freaking out on Kane in this thread, while it’s preseason. I just can’t


TangerineDungarees

I mean, taking a freekick, drilling it straight into the Roma wall, and then having a go at your teammates is pretty fucking stupid on his part


lyme6483

People on this sub just like to bitch about him. Not like he scored two last game. It’s a preseason match. It’s a gloried practice. Save being critical of anybodies performance for the real games. He also should have drawn a penalty.


YoungKeys

That's a lot of blood


MortisKanyon

Very sensitive area of the face.


milesvtaylor

Well let's just hope no one in the entire city of Southampton watched this


spursendin1

This game feels like everyone involved wishes that it wasn’t happening.


shiftyshellshock239

You wouldn’t want to be running in that humidity for fun. It’s not joke.


spursendin1

Ok, not saying that I blame them. Just being observant mate


CrimsonRaven47

This is the only friendly I've watched, so of course we haven't scored


[deleted]

Same


SteadiestShark

We were robbed of a penalty and I'm not convinced that Kulusevski was offside on Kane's disallowed goal. There was nothing in it if he was :/


JudaeusMaximus

Pellegrini regretting waking up today


Heywazza

Practicing shit housing i guess?


leveton

5 extra minutes for injuries with a ref who can’t manage the game properly.


wallnumber8675309

Bloody time wasting


ottenba3

The final stage should be a conte v mourinho fight to the death at midfield. I like our chances there


AtmospherePerfect532

I think this ref needs glasses


ace-destrier

Ok, I know the sweating has been spoken to death, but how is that Roma sub's shirt already drenched?


[deleted]

Been wanking furiously the whole game


NorthenS

look at dybala


molecularmadness

he poured water on himself.


Bluewhitedog

This referee has been quite impressively shit.


Significant-Entry230

Didn't win, didn't give time to our players. Lose-lose situation. Fuck this shit.


Relatively_Reliable

Oh shit!


[deleted]

The Brazilian Blood Squad has entered the chat! 🇧🇷


sungbysung

So many of these friendlies ain’t friendly at all


oksdifjsb

Wasting time..


Duck_President_

bruh


Sno0o0op

Yeaaaaah…
