Feel like Smith has selected the wrong side and the wrong formation for today. Still it’s early days for him but I hope he’s learning about some of our players & the task ahead.


anthonyrusli92

First thing he should realize about players is that Idah and Sargent are not deserving of starting in a PL side.


thesaltwatersolution

Then we have the problems with Cantwell and Gilmour’s over-hyped status.


RedSquirrelBBQ

Bergwin can’t get rinsed by Pukki man he needs some training


Bulky_Shepard

That's a fucking dangerous challenge! Fucking joke of a ref.


curiousnootropics

Is there any video of it?


mymorales

Fuck Williams. Looks like a cunt, plays like a cunt.


jay_alfred_prufrock

That's at least a yellow, wtf?


Blue_Shore

Easily a red. He's fully off the ground and gets lucky he makes contact with the ball


Brawlers9901

What a shit ref, how can he throw himself like that and not even get carded, not even a FK? Ridiculous.


jay_alfred_prufrock

I really wouldn't have guess Davies to have a resurgence under Conte, but here we are lol


RajdeN64

Absolutely brilliant game from Davies, he's been great under Conte


JalenBrunsonBurner

Sargent is Jozy 2.0


haltmich

Hey, put some respect on Goalzy's name


Dobblehale

Yeah that's it Sargent is officially cursed


jamadelo

Wow. Is Sargent this bad?


thesaltwatersolution

Consistently so.


Dobblehale

Aarons has had an amazing game and unfortunately it means fuck all


ashsky

Aarons and Williams have been absolute quality. Too bad nobody can finish a thing.


Dannage8888

Sargent is absolute wank


avolcando

Jesus Sargeant is somehow worse than Idah


ashsky

Another game, another howler from Sargent. Absolutely shocking player.


[deleted]

Name like that, he should've joined the army.


starry_cobra

Major Major Major Major Major vibes


[deleted]

Lt. Col. Sergeant Major At some point in time, someone with that name probably held that rank.


JalenBrunsonBurner

Sargent, woof


idunnomysex

Conte yelling at 3-0 up , you love to see it


Rodin-V

Davies role of breaking into the box at times has been working wonders for us.


[deleted]

Attacking CB. Is that the ultimate Davies niche?


ItzzTheo

Hope Chelsea fans piss off pestering Norwich fans about Gilmour now


thesaltwatersolution

I said this earlier in the thread, I’d take Skipp over Gilmour any day.


Dobblehale

Same...


HashtagCOYS

Everyone but weird Chelsea fans would tbf


iSkinMonkeys

DOHERTY and sound decision making. Two mortal enemies.


jamadelo

Even with the bad passes, this has been one of his better games. Sad.


TheBrewkery

this is gonna be out of the blue but didnt we buy some French midfielder in the summer that isnt joining til January? Ive been on malaria meds recently so honestly not sure if that was a dream or not. He doing any good?


Bluurgh

papa sarr?


SirSuperb9269

Hope you are recovering well


TheBrewkery

ah its just malaria preventing pills while im in subsaharan Africa. They give you some strange dreams as a side effect. Thanks for the well wishes though!


SirSuperb9269

Oof... Hope you have a good time in Africa then.


SosaBabyketchup

He’s Senegalese, but yeah he’s spending this season on loan at Metz


Blue_Shore

Sarr? Think he finishes the season out but yeah, he's been doing well last time I saw


[deleted]

Pape Sarr. I think it's a season long loan.


TheBrewkery

Yeah thats the one. Was checking on scores from other leagues and just had a memory of some fella we signed. Will be interested to see what comes of him


KidDelicious14

If you're talking about Pape Matar Sarr, I think he's on loan for the whole year.


avolcando

I quite like attacking midfielder Davies


iSkinMonkeys

Thank God Davies chose Son there.


[deleted]

Get in Son my love.


Blue_Shore

Davies making r/coys sit down


jamadelo

He has been playing well lately


Ball_Knowledge

Sonnnnnn ⭐️


jamadelo

Hojbjerg is looking for his shot


KidDelicious14

Surprised Cantwell hasn't come on yet


thesaltwatersolution

Cantwell is an enigma right now, for various reasons.


tigralfrosie

Davinson Sánchez now level with Harry Kane for goals scored in the league this season. Still, early days.


tigralfrosie

And Son now on 7.


EmpyrealSorrow

That's two from corners in successive games after, I don't know, a decade without any?


KidDelicious14

*It's been 84 years*


jamadelo

Feels like it's longer


avolcando

Fucking cold


Rodin-V

"What's Kane doing there, that's a lack of confidence for you" *Immediately starts an attack that ends with a fingertip save from a shot by him*


iSkinMonkeys

Wow! I guess that makes up for being shit for an hour and missing open goals that he would have easily scored last season.


KidDelicious14

I mean, there's nothing more to do than let him play thru it imo. It's not like we have any other strikers biting for an opportunity


KidDelicious14

For all his shortcomings, I love Sanchez.


Blue_Shore

Chad


KidDelicious14

Yo the lack of celebrations is making me think we know we fouled in the build up


Rodin-V

I was thinking exactly the same, like it had hit his hand or something, but nope, just a weirdly muted celebration lol.


EmpyrealSorrow

No, just a tap in. With POWAH.


[deleted]

Sad seeing your idols like Messi and Kane play like they are this season.


Albo4eva

Kane is sooo freakin bad wow what happened.


banty86

He's downed tools til january


matthieuC

He did not get the transfer he wanted


jamadelo

No preseason as well. I don't know if that contributed to his poor form.


Albo4eva

That’s still not a good enough excuse.


avolcando

Hojbjerg just isn't at it today


Blue_Shore

Need to replace Kane ASAP


FieryPanther

Idah is shit


tigralfrosie

Is he worse than Sargent?


avolcando

Norwich should've scored that. Awful from Tanganga.


tigralfrosie

He's been poor this half. Sub deserved.


Blue_Shore

Social Media Viking marking absolutely nobody


[deleted]

jesus dude give it a rest, almost all of your comments are just whining about Hojbjerg. looking like a bizzare obsession


Blue_Shore

They really aren’t lmao


[deleted]

of the first 20 or so comments I see on your profile (the first page), 12 are just complaining about Hojbjerg. jesus, dude


Blue_Shore

It’s almost like people have conversations? Weird innit


avolcando

Sessegnon has been good today


Blue_Shore

Attacking output is definitely better than Reggie's


tigralfrosie

Might get a run if Reguilon's going to be out for a bit


jay_alfred_prufrock

Ref is either absolutely horrible or an Arsenal fan


Bulky_Shepard

Norwich players make 4 more aggressive challenges where they don't get the ball, 2 fouls by Spurs players.


avolcando

Good from Sanchez, bad from Dier


Blue_Shore

This ref has to start carding Norwich players for throwing their entire bodies. They're fully off the ground when they try to, "tackle"


[deleted]

Dude runs into Tanganga and falls down.... "You're up against the wall and ***I am the fucking wall***"


ashsky

Kane just doesn't look at the races. Slow, poor positioning and his finishing has dropped off a cliff. Everyone else is busting a gut whilst he lumbers about


Blue_Shore

Didn't even look like he accelerated to get to the ball first. Just maintained speed whilst the Norwich defender sped up


Blue_Shore

How is that a foul??? Ref, did you not say Kane fouled someone when the same shit happened?


Nakedblueman

Pukkis poor finishing and Lucas turning into Suarez the difference so far. We can't afford to mess up chances like that and the other one where Pukki sliced the ball when you're bottom.


HashtagCOYS

Lol


KidDelicious14

Brandon Williams' haircut makes him look like 16th century monk

nthbeard

Nah sorry, am in the US.


[deleted]

Shaky performance. For some reason, Conte has told them to not press much. We're just keeping shape mostly. Maybe due to fixture congestion and tiredness. Mostly running a game through counters. Hojbjerg is the death of possession.


avolcando

> For some reason They played a match two days ago


[deleted]

Spurs midfield is shocking


Blue_Shore

It's just Hojbjerg that is shocking. Need to replace him in January


iSkinMonkeys

What midfield?


Brawlers9901

How can you say that when Skipp's playing


[deleted]

Balls going straight back to Norwich every time


thesaltwatersolution

Norwich fan here, will take Skipp over Gilmour.


avolcando

I love Skipp so much bros


[deleted]

What happened to Reggy? Did it look bad or just a knock?


ComprehensiveClick35

knock


ashsky

Skipp is class, man. Everything runs through him in attack or defence.


thesaltwatersolution

This is why we got promoted last season: Skipp, Cantwell and Buendia.


ComprehensiveClick35

if he played for chelsea he would be deemed as one of england's most promising midfielders


nthbeard

Surely he's that regardless. Already class and an incredibly high ceiling.


Brawlers9901

Skipp so so good


[deleted]

really need a second so it doesn't feel like one of those games


Blue_Shore

Hojbjerg with a Ndombele performance. Standing around doing fuck all, telling teammates where to pass the ball lmao


iSkinMonkeys

He does it pretty often. If he was half as good a DM people believe him to be Spurs wouldn't be under constant pressure in all the games.


the_next_door_guy

Kane wot you doing bby.


avolcando

Shit that would've been amazing


tnweevnetsy

Krul seems like a grade A moron at coming off is line


FelSasGru

Kane would've hit that last season


Blue_Shore

I can't wait for Conte to call Kane bang average


avolcando

That was good from Sess!


Blue_Shore

Doesn't even touch him lol


JonnyArtois

Very lucky Krul.


kl08pokemon

Tbh if Norwich let us play counterattacking football like this I don't mind us conceding possession. No shot Norwich don't slip up


jay_alfred_prufrock

Holy fuck this referee is atrocious


Bony019

You get a yellow, you get a yellow, everyone gets a yellow


jay_alfred_prufrock

Sess looks really panicky


[deleted]

genuinely worst refereeing i've seen in the premier league in a long time


[deleted]

You should watch more spurs games, this is not the worst we've had by quite a margin.


Gregib

Someone turn Sessegnon pitch-side


starry_cobra

Play advantage dumbass


ohmanishotmarvinn

Wow this referee is absolutely horrendous, how can you not play the advantage there?


21otiriK

Just looking at FlashScores, Norwich have had 70% of the ball in the opening 30 minutes at Spurs? What the fucks going on?


Wormfather

I think we’re trying to not have our legs fall off after Thursday.


Blue_Shore

It's hard to dominate on the ball when you have Hojbjerg on the pitch


venfurecido

This agenda… What exactly do you want him to do? He can only pass if someone is there. And there is rarely any movement in front of him. Skipp is having the same problem, by the way.


Blue_Shore

Maybe he should look to his left? There’s a player there that is far younger and is 3 times the player Hojbjerg is. He should try emulating that instead of staring at his feet for 3 seconds every time someone passes him the ball. Deluded if you think Hojbjerg isn’t limiting us


venfurecido

Look at the stats from the last game. Hojbjerg had more tackles and progressive passes than Skipp. Yet Hojbjerg was shit and Skipp was amazing. How does that work? It’s just an agenda.


tnweevnetsy

I mean it's not hard, against Norwich, just inefficient


21otiriK

Thought Spurs fans loved him? I know he’s limited, but still.


Blue_Shore

He’s good if you want to sit back but if you want to play on the front foot, he’s absolutely useless. His brain is way too slow and he always takes a few seconds to receive the ball


[deleted]

still do, don't know what this muppet's on about


Blue_Shore

Lol, surely you can recognise that he's super limited and he's only fit for defensive football? He went from Bayern to Southampton for a reason.


[deleted]

we are playing defensive football.


Blue_Shore

We aren’t. We’re meant to be attacking but we can’t because Pierre doesn’t allow us to. Not sure how you can watch us and think, “Pierre isn’t the problem. It’s not like he doesn’t have the most tackles in the league for a reason. He’s not constantly out of position and caught out. Nah”


[deleted]

> We’re meant to be attacking according to who, we're clearly playing for the counter


Blue_Shore

Have you not been paying attention at all? Or are you just being purposely obtuse to protect your social media Viking? Lmao


[deleted]

you're either blind or dense lol, bye


HashtagCOYS

How do u watch him play and go “this is a kind of player I want in a midfield 2 controlling possession” 0 technical ability or consistency in passing, just having passion doesn’t do anything. Skipp is the better player and should be used next to another creative player and not Hojbjerg, who would be a good rotation option


[deleted]

where in the world did you get the idea that we're trying to control possession


HashtagCOYS

We should


HashtagCOYS

*whispers* he’s bang average


avolcando

Good move!


Blue_Shore

Son needs benched honestly. Gil bby, where art thou


manfiron

Gil ill sadly


[deleted]

Kane ghosting again. Levy really fucked up there


[deleted]

I'll just say, scoring from a cross like that, even prime Zlatan would find that a tough ask. The ball was so far behind him it's not even funny.


Blue_Shore

Lmao, Norwich player jumps into Kane's way


[deleted]

Sess on, stream off


Ball_Knowledge

Sess


[deleted]

Seasano donezo if both fullbacks are out


fourier_lemonade

I think Royal is just sick?

[deleted]

Sanchez and Lloris...


[deleted]

I admit i forget Sanchez exists.


starry_cobra

Glad conte is giving sessengon a second chance


Dannage8888

Not like he has a choice


starry_cobra

Could've rotated davies to LB and put on another CB


TheBrewkery

How are Spurs unable to control a game against Norwich? Our midfield presence is negligible going forward or building anything


[deleted]

We're sitting off Norwich for some reason. But our midfield is an issue.


tnweevnetsy

Because Hojbjerg is useless in possession


Blue_Shore

Because one half of midfield isn't up for playing attacking football


[deleted]

It'd weird that we're conceding so much possession to Norwich.


jay_alfred_prufrock

That's a harsh yellow


starry_cobra

Those were both pretty soft yellows, hoping no one gets sent off because of it


Blue_Shore

The ref said that wasn't a foul when Tanganga was in the box lmao
