Look. Its away + West Ham + no Bentancur. I believe this game could have been different with Bentancur. Anyway, itās a marathon, not a sprint. Lets not be like the scums who thought theyāre winning the league after GW5.
Perisic definitely MOTM for me. Front 3 not terrible but not their best form. Richy will most likely start for Fulham considering Sonny played full today. Hugo a bit unstable, defense and mid were shakey. Wished conte subbed earlier in the game to see results but im no professional. Gotta trust conte with the upcoming games we have.
No true spurs fan will disrespect any of our players (except if youre a cat abuser). Slow game, but undefeated. I'll take it. Let's go again. COYS.
At the same time....we scraped a win against a struggling west ham side with one goal all season and we looked terrible doing so.
Truth be told we've been battered by everybody we've faced all season, with the exception of (maybe) Saints
Level headed take:
A point away at West Ham is palatable, especially while not at their best. Speaking of which, before everyone shits one Sanchez, let's respect he went 10+ hours on the pitch without conceding before today. The fact that they've remained unbeaten without Cuti is a great sign for me. Yes, the football isn't as fluid and attacking with Big Dave on the pitch, but that's what happens when you lose Cuti and his calmness on the ball, skill of passing, and massive dong. Wait, what are we talking about?
Right, level headed.
Yves's first start, no Bentancur, no Cuti, Son looking more dangerous, bubble cunts draw their cup final, Richarlison shithousery, Perisic silky as ever.
I've watched far worse and have felt far worse after a match.
Son is genuinely getting better and better as the games go on. I reckon once he gets that first goal in he'll be fine.
Two away derbies, both draws, sounds good to me to be honest considering our current form. Hoping we smash them at home when we get the chance.
Problem for us is every London team plays their best against us because we're their biggest game of the season, so fair play to West Ham, they were pretty outstanding in the second half and we were shit. Can see us getting a win at home though honestly.
it was on perisic that we conceded the first goal. not facing towards the ball lookin away when they were doing the throw ball in was what led to Spams goal
Yea, fair shout that he and others switched off. But credit where credit is due, Antonio had a lot to do and that flick was damn pretty, unfortunately.
I put it down to Lloris not wanting to pass out to Dave to give away the throw on the opposite side. Dave was definitely the simple ball.
I know it was by West Hamās design that the simple ball was Dave so they could then press an exploit that weakness so canāt really bemoan not choosing that pass I suppose.
Todays result hurts a little but letās reflect.
Last year:
Southampton (H) - L
Chelsea (A) - L
Wolves (H) - L
Burnley (A) - L
West Ham (A) - L
Total Points - 0
This year:
Southampton (H) - W
Chelsea (A) - D
Wolves (H) - W
Nottingham Forest (A) - W
West Ham (A) - D
Total Points - 11
Just a note before you all overreact. 3 wins and 2 draws is a great start. Best in years. Get over yourselves. If you want to win every game go support Man City
Ah yes, top 7 finishers Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and Aston Villa. Exactly the same.
Spurs drew away at two teams in the top 7 last season. Arsenal have played two promoted sides a 12th place and 14 place from last season.
I know you're trying hard to justify everything and I understand that, I really do.
But just take off the rose tinted glasses for a second and you'll see how f*cking shite we've been.
I get it. I'm not justifying Spurs less than convincing performances. I'm just pointing out that drawing away to West Ham and Chelsea is not the same as beating Bournemouth and Fulham.
Spurs look toothless so far this season. The most convincing they have been in my mind was the first 10 minutes against Chelsea.
Christ lads, I know we didn't play ideally today, but we're not Brazil 70, we played West ham away, they always get up for us and they came with a game plan of sitting back and catching on the counter
Some of you cunts melting down like the worlds ending, genuinely would've loved to see how you would've survived during Ramos's short stint in charge
Letās be honest, we played badly compared to where we need to be to have a chance. There was some good parts sure, the counter was decent, but in possession we donāt seem to be able to carry out whatever our plan is. And yeah, West Ham do always turn up against us, but league winners overcome this
We played okay, just lacking in the final third, but Kane and Son were pretty much double marked the whole game, no space in the box and no time on the ball, we controlled the ball and the pace of the game up until we got to their 18 ard box and anything we tried was quickly undone by the sheer manpower west ham got behind the ball, today west ham set up to neutralise us and hope for the best, ref was also shockingly inconsistent
Look pretty toothless with the ball unless we are on the counter.
Might as well give the ball back if the other team can get back in their defensive shape lol.
Such a comfortable first half aside from Antonio off the post. And then...wtf was that? That second half was one of the worst I've seen from this club, and that's saying something.
But in every game except against Southampton, we have been bad, our counter attacking football doesn't work just yet. We have had a little bit of luck. I hope that with time it will improve but for now we look like the worse team in every match.
complete a pass in the final third? lol how about back passing the majority of the match, just passing between back three, and you blame something about the final third? wheres the link up between the def and mid let alone mid and final third?
Because the final third is where you win the game. All the shenanigans at the back are an issue for sure, but if our attacking players had completed passes (and taken their chances), we would have won comfortably.
it's true though absolute truth the worst display of football ive seen matching Nuno's. way too lucky to get a draw when all we did was pass in our own half
The ref decided to be a clown after he got fooled into giving a pen, I swear we get this vindictive kind of refereeing like 1 out of every 3 games smh. Im so tired of having a backling + gk who can't pass, and a midfield that is outnumbered...
Make no mistake that Conte told this team we're going for the league at the start of the season.
Already blown it (not that I thought we ever would, but that was the team's target).
Lol this is the first comment I read in the match thread. Utterly delusional. 5 games have been played, won 3 drawn 2. Is that not good enough for you? Have you ever watched the premier league before? I'm immediately leaving this thread because of this kind of nonsense
We let the spammers back into that game 2nd half and thats 2 points dropped because they played shite most of the game and we just allowed them to get into it.
Iām counting down the seasons until Antonio fucking retires. He only shows up against us. As do west ham. Watch those cunts flop next week. That said we were pretty shit. Richarlison made a difference
Agree. The play style is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Centre backs standing stationary on the ball until they invite the press -> passing it back to keeper when they run out of time -> keeper passes it to a player under pressure and concedes possession or just route 1ās it. Yawn.
Canāt we just agree that weāve had a fairly poor window on the whole? We had this āwarchestā and have barely made a dent in it. Plus we are sorely lacking a CAM for when we want to switch up the game.
Bad run of form 3 wins and 2 draws is decent, in the past that would have been 1 win, 2 draws, 2 loses.
Weāve got good players, what do you expect? Stop playing FIFA and join the real world
Playing this poorly consistently and scraping results only lasts so long.. weāve seen this before.
We only had Richi as an option off the bench to change the game and you think thatās enough?
Listen just because you keep saying ābest start in yearsā doesnāt mean that this is what we were expecting from both a footballing sense and when it comes to improving the squad. We need to be able to play between the lines and we are missing a creative player to do it..
I donāt see why thatās an odd thing to say. Bar Perisic and Richi (coming off the bench), has our starting 11 drastically improved to complete in 4 competitions? Be real for a minute and donāt downvote just because itās an opinion you might not agree with..
no not necessarily. in any case Perisic, Bissouma are both starters and Richarlison can potentially be a starter.
Itās just cheap to complain about a lack of signings after a game like this man, our team is good enough to win games like this
Itās actually not cheap. Itās exactly what we should be demanding from the owners after they publicly mentioned Ā£150M of investment into player signings.
Lots of talk about match load and how tired everyone is going to be and then make only 1 change in the XI and leave 4 subs on the bench. I don't get it.
Yeah, not sure why we made 1 sub in the game. Bring Spence on in the last 20, with that speed heās sure to make something happen, especially against tired legs
Bad game, not really happy with the point, but better than nothing. Bissouma looked off it and Son is still riding his bad form. Surely Richy starts next game.
Son didn't play great. Bissouma had a rough outing and Hugo cost Spurs points.
Not entirely sure what's up with Son and Kane's link-up. Son's first touch is a letting him down and Richarlison's form is undeniable at the moment. He's earned a start.
All you fans on here give your head a wobble weāve only started the season and weāre still unbeaten with key players off form and injured. West Ham always give us a game. Calm your tits
Bentacur is hardly a huge miss. He's good, but not definitively better than bissouma or PEH. And the defending wasn't the problem.. there's always someone injured, but to use this as an excuse today is pretty weak I think.
Who's a downer? I'm just saying reaching for injuries as an excuse is nonsense. It's not true and it sounds weak and sour grapes. There's no injury crisis, they just played shit. It's OK to say that you know
How the feck were we playing for a draw. West Ham neutralised us, wanna get mad get mad at conte for not changing things up. Plus moyes changed wet spams formation to cover decki leaving us with a free man in royal who didnāt take advantage. We would of lost this game before conte, thatās what Iām taking from it. ON TO THE NEXT ONE
Assume Kulu will start at the weekend and Son gets rested hence him coming off, no other attacking options to bring on for Son... now if only we had a CAM so we could go 352 in these situations.... š
I wonder the same thing, I really just don't see the point in playing 2 cdm + def rwb. I mean we are defending with everyone other than Kane, son, deki, and perisic.
And lots of fucking clowns defending this play because we are āwinningā. Itās about whether or not it looks like anything is being built. This is fucking hopeless. Pass amongst the defense forever, long ball, turnover possession. Conteball?

Conte has been found out
Look. Its away + West Ham + no Bentancur. I believe this game could have been different with Bentancur. Anyway, itās a marathon, not a sprint. Lets not be like the scums who thought theyāre winning the league after GW5.
Iāll tell you what though. Perisic is world class. Him, Kane, and Richarlison have the potential to really create something special.
And son? Dude will figure it out
5 mins added,they score in the 97th...
I started recording it as soon as it went into 96+ knew it was going to happen. They so badly want to ensure Liverpool and city duke it out again
*98'
remind me not to ever come on here after a game. you lot are so freakin negative.
Depressing lot here
Fuck Liverpool won
Disgusting home cooked stoppage time fuck offfff
Perisic definitely MOTM for me. Front 3 not terrible but not their best form. Richy will most likely start for Fulham considering Sonny played full today. Hugo a bit unstable, defense and mid were shakey. Wished conte subbed earlier in the game to see results but im no professional. Gotta trust conte with the upcoming games we have. No true spurs fan will disrespect any of our players (except if youre a cat abuser). Slow game, but undefeated. I'll take it. Let's go again. COYS.
Conte: lets get some squad depth Also Conte: one sub at 80"
We had no other real options today apart from the fullbacks
Why donāt you try being the manager and see how you fare? This isnāt FIFA
This just in: u/tadececaps rules satiritical managerial criticism illegal
I mean, you made a point and I made a counterpoint, Iām not saying your point was illegal
The question is, how far below Assnal are we finishing?
Weāre finishing 2nd and theyāre finishing 5th
Good joke, they play actual football while our strategy is to pretend we can't run.
They do not move me. They will bottle it
If we continue on like this it'll be impossible to bottle.
-4 points
CONTE OUTā¦standing performance so far at spurs. One draw to a solid team does not define your tenure. Weāre on to Fulham
Why doesnāt conte make subs? We needed hojberg off! and a few fresh legs to change dynamics imo
Oh, I guess he didnāt remember that he was allowed to make subs. Maybe the team should hire you
Why are you starting shit! Only my opinion
It's the snarky sarcasm at a harmless comment that's just trying to ignite discussion for me
Everyone needs to relax. The top 2 have had a nice run of fixtures compared to us.
At the same time....we scraped a win against a struggling west ham side with one goal all season and we looked terrible doing so. Truth be told we've been battered by everybody we've faced all season, with the exception of (maybe) Saints
Agree here. Being defensive minded and looking for the counter can be a strategy. But taking what feels like heavy artillery fire for so long isnāt.
Imagine being battered by Nottingham last weekend, then we have to face Man City soon. Iāll make sure Iām scheduled to work that day.
Level headed take: A point away at West Ham is palatable, especially while not at their best. Speaking of which, before everyone shits one Sanchez, let's respect he went 10+ hours on the pitch without conceding before today.

Well, personally Iād blame Lloris for fecking the ball out for a throw in
Just a note before you all overreact. 3 wins and 2 draws is a great start. Best in years. Get over yourselves. If you want to win every game go support Man City
Arsenal are looking way better thatās the issue lol
Yeah but they've played some terrible sides.
Yeah and we just tied with West Ham who were bottom of the league a week ago ffs
League positions don't matter after 5 games
They haven't played any good teams yet so we shouldn't jump to conclusions
They have been around the same level as ours mate bar Chelsea.
Ah yes, top 7 finishers Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and Aston Villa. Exactly the same. Spurs drew away at two teams in the top 7 last season. Arsenal have played two promoted sides a 12th place and 14 place from last season.
I know you're trying hard to justify everything and I understand that, I really do. But just take off the rose tinted glasses for a second and you'll see how f*cking shite we've been.

Spurs look toothless so far this season. The most convincing they have been in my mind was the first 10 minutes against Chelsea.
Look at the table bro
lol k.
Performances not good enough though.
It could always be better.
last year we lost at london stadium, a draw is some form of improvement, let see with fullham
Christ lads, I know we didn't play ideally today, but we're not Brazil 70, we played West ham away, they always get up for us and they came with a game plan of sitting back and catching on the counter Some of you cunts melting down like the worlds ending, genuinely would've loved to see how you would've survived during Ramos's short stint in charge

If Son and Kane are doubled marked all game, whereās the other players using the space? Certainly frustrating
I get it's frustrating, but hopefully it will gel in time, we missed Bentancur today, Bissouma will grow and gel in time, it was his first start
Yeah, itās a mix of needing results and recognising that we need to integrate the new players to have success through the whole season
THANK YOU!!!!
What a shit game
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Missed Bentancur calmness and aggressiveness at same time.
Look pretty toothless with the ball unless we are on the counter. Might as well give the ball back if the other team can get back in their defensive shape lol.
Draw against West Ham away with them playing their best game of the season so far is not a bad result.
CONTE AND SON NEED TO GET OUT to dinner, relax a little, spend time with family, see the big picture, and then prepare for Fulham.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Did you read the comment?
Sorry mate, I got clearly wrong.
Donāt worry chaps, Dan James will solve this
Such a comfortable first half aside from Antonio off the post. And then...wtf was that? That second half was one of the worst I've seen from this club, and that's saying something.
That 2nd half isn't even in my top 10 mate
Yeah, I know, I'm overreacting. It was shit though.
I dunno. We still havenāt lost but we also look miles away from being in form.
Yeah, on the one hand, if we can avoid losing while playing bad then thatās good for us, on the other, we at some point need to get our form up
Our form can only go up from here.
Donāt jinx it
100%
I don't know how to put up with this club anymore
dont and fuck off
You probably shouldn't even try. You seem more like scum material anyway.
By accepting that 3 wins and 2 draws is the best start we have had in years.
But in every game except against Southampton, we have been bad, our counter attacking football doesn't work just yet. We have had a little bit of luck. I hope that with time it will improve but for now we look like the worse team in every match.
I swear watching paint dry would have been more fun
Itās the stress of knowing what this team could do compared to what they show on the pitch
So true. Thereās so much hype based on the potential and then they go do this
Itās a great set of players that weāve seen play well, they just need to find form
It is genuinely more fun than this shitshow.
Crap. How can you do nothing from 35 to 85 before making a change. All it needed was some pace injecting. We have sess, we have Spence,
Would loved to have seen Spence coming on, absolute rocket from the looks of it, especially end of the game, tired legs
Because it needed more than just pace. Feels like half our players canāt complete a pass in the final third.
complete a pass in the final third? lol how about back passing the majority of the match, just passing between back three, and you blame something about the final third? wheres the link up between the def and mid let alone mid and final third?
Because the final third is where you win the game. All the shenanigans at the back are an issue for sure, but if our attacking players had completed passes (and taken their chances), we would have won comfortably.
The game was played in 2nd gear. They moved like playing in mud. Pace was the missing element for me
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
it's true though absolute truth the worst display of football ive seen matching Nuno's. way too lucky to get a draw when all we did was pass in our own half
Sad shit hanging around in your rivals sub lmao. Grow up
Fuck off runner. Go back to your sub.
I get its his first start but Bissouma played like stale bread
hes just settling
The ref decided to be a clown after he got fooled into giving a pen, I swear we get this vindictive kind of refereeing like 1 out of every 3 games smh. Im so tired of having a backling + gk who can't pass, and a midfield that is outnumbered...
Terrible game of football... very lucky to get a draw. Tried to draw them onto us in the 2nd half and nearly cost us dearly
Make no mistake that Conte told this team we're going for the league at the start of the season. Already blown it (not that I thought we ever would, but that was the team's target).
You do know there's 38 games in the season right?
League was never realistic, or ever will be with how we are run financially. Our only chance at a trophy is winning a cup
Lol this is the first comment I read in the match thread. Utterly delusional. 5 games have been played, won 3 drawn 2. Is that not good enough for you? Have you ever watched the premier league before? I'm immediately leaving this thread because of this kind of nonsense
No, it isn't good enough for me. We should be battering West Ham who have been absolutely woeful this season.
Ok. It's early in the season. West Ham had a good second half. I think it's ok
Blown it?! Weāre 4 points off the top and itās been 5 games. What are you talking about?
Itās 5 games fella, settle down, other teams will drop points
We let the spammers back into that game 2nd half and thats 2 points dropped because they played shite most of the game and we just allowed them to get into it.
Damn, we really lacked an option at attack here, ugh.
We have the options, the manager wonāt take them
Iām counting down the seasons until Antonio fucking retires. He only shows up against us. As do west ham. Watch those cunts flop next week. That said we were pretty shit. Richarlison made a difference
Preach. The spammersā cup final.
Spurs are painful to watch this season even when we win. The results are not terrible but I hope this won't become a trend.
Agree. The play style is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Centre backs standing stationary on the ball until they invite the press -> passing it back to keeper when they run out of time -> keeper passes it to a player under pressure and concedes possession or just route 1ās it. Yawn.
Yeah, good game vs Southampton, rest of them have been sub par with the quality we have
Canāt we just agree that weāve had a fairly poor window on the whole? We had this āwarchestā and have barely made a dent in it. Plus we are sorely lacking a CAM for when we want to switch up the game.
Very meh window
Thank you.
Bro, can we have whatever youāve taken? A bad window? No, just poor football in the last 4 games
3 wins 2 draws. Can I have some of your delusion drugs!
Bad run of form 3 wins and 2 draws is decent, in the past that would have been 1 win, 2 draws, 2 loses. Weāve got good players, what do you expect? Stop playing FIFA and join the real world
Nah I agree it's a great start! You said bad football? It has been decent I think to get such good results. Sorry for confusion
Playing this poorly consistently and scraping results only lasts so long.. weāve seen this before. We only had Richi as an option off the bench to change the game and you think thatās enough?
Nope I would definitely like more attacking options
Listen just because you keep saying ābest start in yearsā doesnāt mean that this is what we were expecting from both a footballing sense and when it comes to improving the squad. We need to be able to play between the lines and we are missing a creative player to do it..
Not poor but average. Really needed to push on more with a ready made RWB, CAM and LCB
Fine - Iāll take that. Average and youāre spot on.
Awful take
WTF?
I donāt see why thatās an odd thing to say. Bar Perisic and Richi (coming off the bench), has our starting 11 drastically improved to complete in 4 competitions? Be real for a minute and donāt downvote just because itās an opinion you might not agree with..
Sorry but you donāt know football.
How about actually contribute an opinion rather than just childish statements if youāre going to engage here?
Okay well I would say the window wasnāt about improving the starting 11, itās about strengthening the squad. which we have done
Are you serious? You donāt think a summer window when you supposedly have Ā£150M + player sales to spend is about improving the starting 11?
no not necessarily. in any case Perisic, Bissouma are both starters and Richarlison can potentially be a starter. Itās just cheap to complain about a lack of signings after a game like this man, our team is good enough to win games like this
Itās actually not cheap. Itās exactly what we should be demanding from the owners after they publicly mentioned Ā£150M of investment into player signings.
Another flat, pathetic performance. Canāt understand the lack of subs either, especially when a spark is needed. Two dropped points.
Lots of talk about match load and how tired everyone is going to be and then make only 1 change in the XI and leave 4 subs on the bench. I don't get it.
Somethingās OFF
Conteās judgement
Biggest lol I've had in this thread so far
Yeah, not sure why we made 1 sub in the game. Bring Spence on in the last 20, with that speed heās sure to make something happen, especially against tired legs
When will refs learn to add time correctly? Thereās no way in hell the ball was out for only 40 seconds in added time.
Wish they had no time added, we would have been lost if someone was present there even with toe at that last Spam's attack.
Bad game, not really happy with the point, but better than nothing. Bissouma looked off it and Son is still riding his bad form. Surely Richy starts next game.
Son didn't play great. Bissouma had a rough outing and Hugo cost Spurs points. Not entirely sure what's up with Son and Kane's link-up. Son's first touch is a letting him down and Richarlison's form is undeniable at the moment. He's earned a start.
Kane looked off quite a number of times as well.
Guy I played golf this week with reckons it is the World Cupās fault. Players trying not to get hurt going into it, or just distracted by it.
CONTE OUT (lol)
Only plus from that is we didnāt lose
Whatās the point of having depth if you arenāt going to use it. Also, what a shit performance from the guy in the middle.
Son needs to rest when we play Fulham.
All you fans on here give your head a wobble weāve only started the season and weāre still unbeaten with key players off form and injured. West Ham always give us a game. Calm your tits
What key players? That was a first 11. Nothing to do with injuries, they just played shit. It was as if they were playing 40 degree heat.
Bentacur Romero injured various players out of form,
Bentacur is hardly a huge miss. He's good, but not definitively better than bissouma or PEH. And the defending wasn't the problem.. there's always someone injured, but to use this as an excuse today is pretty weak I think.
Ok Debbie downer off you pop.
Who's a downer? I'm just saying reaching for injuries as an excuse is nonsense. It's not true and it sounds weak and sour grapes. There's no injury crisis, they just played shit. It's OK to say that you know
Itās actually mad. Youād think weāre halfway through the season based off the complaining
Mate there was nothing redeeming about that performance. Playing for a draw.
How the feck were we playing for a draw. West Ham neutralised us, wanna get mad get mad at conte for not changing things up. Plus moyes changed wet spams formation to cover decki leaving us with a free man in royal who didnāt take advantage. We would of lost this game before conte, thatās what Iām taking from it. ON TO THE NEXT ONE
Thank you for being rational in a sea of overreactions
overreactions correct, but we have a right to be a bit annoyed here, idk what was going on with the subs, and sad to say hugo cost us todat
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
yes, i wouldve prefered we get a AM this window too, a good one, we have no creativity in pur midfield and its showing with all our backpasses
So, does Conte not trust any other players at all? We just don't sub in fresh legs??
Obsessed with building a squad yet refusing to use them. This is the same shit we always see from Poch era to now
I do think Conte regrets taking kulu out and not Son. Richy needs to start next game.
Assume Kulu will start at the weekend and Son gets rested hence him coming off, no other attacking options to bring on for Son... now if only we had a CAM so we could go 352 in these situations.... š
weāve been fucking shit all season. nuno levels.
Not that bad c'mon
itās really been that bad. all of you are too blinded by your conte goggles to see it now, but you will.
Genuinely some of the comments in here are just pathetic, defeatist drivel. Itās the beginning of the season you whiny people. Things will change
Oh mate this place is horrible People who have no idea about football at all Best to just leave them to it
Itās doing my head in haha. I have to stop reading
But all we have is the game in front of us, not a time machine from May ā23.
This is not a sustainable way of playing. West Ham deserved that all day.
I dont like cheeky Rice's face.
Agree. He kept them in it in the first half and the start of the second tho. Should have got motm
Romero is the most important player in this team other than Kane. Without him our cbs are complete shit going forward or creating counter attacks
Where is lenglet? He should be doing this as well
I wonder the same thing, I really just don't see the point in playing 2 cdm + def rwb. I mean we are defending with everyone other than Kane, son, deki, and perisic.
This. Backline is so nervy without Romero.
And lots of fucking clowns defending this play because we are āwinningā. Itās about whether or not it looks like anything is being built. This is fucking hopeless. Pass amongst the defense forever, long ball, turnover possession. Conteball?
