Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur vs Coventry City (A) - Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Mon 19th October (8pm KO) (11 Viewers)

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Wasn’t too disheartened when I looked like we were only going to lose 2-1 but that’s such a poor goal to concede at the end. We completely relatively well but we look so bad at the back and also don’t look like scoring many at the other end. Need to pick up some big points in the next 4.

 

[Winny the Bish]

i get you are the hipster Matt Smith

the Doctor Who guy?

 

[jim20]

I don’t think the constant spurs players going down injured when we had momentum and then being allowed to make the subs. Makes the fact that players go off when injured a waste of time. They knew what they were doing.

 

[Alkhen]

Mad takes from the usual reactive boobs on here, we are decades behind Spurs in status and finances yet we kept right in that. Bar some silly mistakes and naive play we could have come away with something here.

Relax. Some players need to cut out the errors but we're causing teams issues every game we've played bar Arsenal and Brighton in 2nd half

 

[CCFCSteve]

Need the Rushworth of last season to return for us to stay up. We know he’s got it in him but hasn’t looked quite right this season

 

[Major Tom]

Fuck off Grimes. If you want Maddison’s shirt take it off the pitch.

 

[Samueljames1991]

Hes been utter tripe this season and im fed up with it

He was good against Newcastle

 

[SIR ERNIE]

it it was Ipswich or Hull you’d be saying they’re shit

Take a day off you little prick.

 

[Skybluedogwood]

XG 0.87 vs 0.82 says it all really.

And despite using 16 players, Mfuni didn’t feature and Grimes on the whole game.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Grimes needs to be benched , Rushworth poor . Bobby Thomas and Pinnock are a strong unit in the centre , BTA plenty of effort but no real end result . Nice to see KKH get on Back to the drawing board

 

[David O'Day]

the Doctor Who guy?

He wishes

 

[lifeskyblue]

Lost it in midfield. Not competitive there. Hamer not the answer.
Rushworth should have done better with last two goals.
Thomas and Pinnock look a decent partnership.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Lampard’s big task is getting players like Gboho and Tchaouna apart of the squad, whether that’s attitude or fitness we need £30 million pounds of players performing for us and giving us the option.

 

[steve101]

They were there for the taking. Some disappointing individual performances. Our energy dropped when Cherif, Thomas-Asante, Sakamoto and Yirenkyi went off. I was very disappointed with Awoniyi. Both our fullbacks were poor and Rushworth not good at all.

 

[Winny the Bish]

I didn't realise we're not allowed to criticise 3-1 losses where we make lots of mistakes anymore.

 

[skyblue025]

3:1 flattered Spurs. We had some good moments but all 3 Spurs goals were poor ones to give away all be it Maddison hit a great shot for the first.

 

[Matt smith]

matt smith with a wanky coffee order

Had a beer have you dod you fucking mug

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Take a day off you little prick.

keep crying you old twat

Need the Rushworth of last season to return for us to stay up. We know he’s got it in him but hasn’t looked quite right this season

He will come good. Happy with his distribution at mo. It's just his shit stopping and we know he is capable as he made some amazing saves last season

 

[Jamieb87ccfc]

He seriously needs to have a think about Grimes and his place in the team. At this level he is just not good enough.
Yirenki is a very talented footballer but isn’t quick enough to close down but is raw and will get there.
We need to start utilising the new players we have brought in with thus exception of Awonyi who to keep looks a terrible signing really don’t see what he adds at all. Rather Simms and Wright all day.

 

[marrrkjay_ccfc]

Why the f*ck was van Ewijk jockeying Tel when we were 2-1 down? Put a tackle in ffs. Wasn't a bad second half but we gave Spurs far too much respect for my liking.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Think it was probably our most “premier league” like performance.

We were unlikely to win it tbh

 

[Shannerz]

It was a championship shot

It wasn't even that. It was a speculative nothing shot that any keeper at professional level saves when they're on form.

Rushworth's a good keeper, but he needs to find form fast.

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

Lads, can someone sit me down and explain to me why we signed Gustavo Hamer? Looked shattered from the instant he jogged from the bench

 

[Esoterica]

Bringing on kkh at right wing instead of someone like mboho is why he lampard needs to sort this shit out

Talking to kkh. Starts rb. Milan can sit it out and think about if he wants to be a premier league footballer or a cheerleader.

Im fuming

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Need the Rushworth of last season to return for us to stay up. We know he’s got it in him but hasn’t looked quite right this season

Rushworth started like this last season. He just needs a bit of confidence

 

[Paxman II]

Tell me why he refuses to bring on Torp? Sad about the third goal, spoilt it a bit. Thought Rushy could have saved that.
Overall we did OK but lacked puch from midfield. Grimes really gives us very little and I don't like saying that.
We should be back to winning ways against Fulham but Frank has to find his first 11.
Thomas and Pinnock very good. Milan still finding times a bit tough. Would like to have seen Mufuni on too.
Mixed bag could have tried harder and got something I felt.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Milan needs to add more aggression into his game, been a problem for a while. He’s too nice/soft at times and players at this level expose that. That or at least be more streetwise.

 

[usskyblue]

Despite some of the bile that’s been spat on here, I thought (in general) we did okay. Yes, there were mistakes, Rushworth should’ve saved the 3d but there were some positive signs.

Onyeka needs start imo, Caleb doesn’t have enough discipline in and out of possession.

Whatever’s going on with our missing wingers needs to be sorted asap… we can’t be bringing on KKH for Rudi and expecting anything to come from it.

 

[larry_david]

I don’t think the constant spurs players going down injured when we had momentum and then being allowed to make the subs. Makes the fact that players go off when injured a waste of time. They knew what they were doing.

They did. And it worked.

Of mve went down like he'd be shot clutching his face i dare say he'd have got the free kick.

 

[Briles]

Not disheartened. We have scored 6 in 3 games so im not worried about the goals, we need to stop standing off so much though

 

[Sick Boy]

It'll be tough but we've got enough about us to stay up.

 

[Telfer85]

Shame about the result in the end as we competed well for most of the match. Gotta say you expect more from rushworth when you’ve spent £25 mil. Not great at all for goals 2 or 3 but I’m sure he knows that. But gotta back em some big home games coming up. Rudoni looks back to his best which is key.

 

[jim20]

I think we will grow as the season goes on, whether that will be enough I don’t know

Because he's shit.
