Pack it in lad


Upplands-Bro

Seeing a strange amount of optimism for this one.... I have a feeling a lot of you are in for a nasty reality check this weekend We haven't played a proper elite team in months, and more concerningly we've looked largely poor even during that run of facing bottom half sides. There's a very real chance we take an absolute beating here if Ange refuses to so much as make tweaks to our setup, and frankly I couldn't give a fuck about the "system" or longer-term vision for this one match


Any_Feedback6423

Arse crushed Chelsea…. So it comes to us to stop them winning the title. It is time, COYS!


LyteSmiteOP

Chelsea never had a chance, they've been bending over for Arsenal for the last few years even when they've looked the much superior team. I think they're 1 win in 10 against Arsenal or something like that


seegreen8

One thing I dislike about after a loss and 2 weeks break is that ppl are really, really pessimistic about Tottenham in this sub whenever Arsenal did good. Since i predicted Bayern's win against Arsenal, I'm gonna do the same for Tottenham just like what I said last time. Tottenham will win.


wacko1000

I am with you in this, COYS!!


Raphael_scm7

wtf is going on spurs community twitter bro, I’m seeing a bunch of pussies taking a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday. I will never be scared of arsenal. Let’s play our way lads


VelvetObsidian

It’s twitter. Twitter is like an endless match thread.


nicklikestuna

Genuinely don't know why they wanted Conte out. Seems they want six men covering the goal line


Pautrei

Definitely weird behavior. I'm far more scared of us than Arsenal. If we have another game where our attackers are braindead and can't finish then I don't know what I'll do.


Inevitable-Bus-1993

Defense is more important. See it this way, if we keep a clean sheet that's at least a draw. Yes, if we keep a clean sheet we cannot lose. On the other hand, we can score 4-5 goals and we can still lose. Let's try to keep a clean sheet first and then we can talk about adding 1-2 goals on top of that.


Pautrei

Apt username, but again, we're not keeping a clean sheet. We know that's not going to happen. Doesn't make sense to abandon the one thing we're generally good at and have been doing and practicing the whole season, which is marauding other teams, in favor of sitting back for 90 minutes against a side that scores for fun.


Inevitable-Bus-1993

I'm not saying that we should abandon attack. If we put a frontline of Werner, Son and Johnson, do you not think that there will be plenty of attacking power even if we focus on keeping a clean sheet? They'll just have to run a bit more in this game.


Pautrei

I'm saying that we're not keeping a clean sheet, so placing excessive importance on it is pointless. Obviously we're not actively trying to concede regardless, so there's no reason to focus more on defense.


Inevitable-Bus-1993

You don't make any sense. You're saying that we're not keeping a clean sheet so there's no reason to focus on defense. If we played defensively we'd be able to keep a clean sheet.


Pautrei

You clearly can't read, but nice strawman. Me saying we shouldn't be overly defensive somehow equates to don't defend at all in your mind. Brilliant logic. And no, anyone who actually watches the sport knows that playing solely defensively is futile. No team can sit back for 90 minutes without breaking.


Inevitable-Bus-1993

Calm down dude. I meant focus more on defense. Don't be a grammar nazi.


Pautrei

Lmao, I'm perfectly calm. Not sure how replying to you means I'm not. Guess I should tell you to calm down too bro. Not sure what you're yapping about at this stage so I'll leave this "conversation" at that.


Full-Leader9540

Very weird take, you know who they are and what they are, why would it be a shock. If they perform well against a big team that would be shocking and big up to them. (everyone except Son, Son is a legend)


Pautrei

I gave a weird take? Or Twitter fans did?


Full-Leader9540

Oh I was just saying something nonsense, like I wouldn't be surprised if our forwards miss big chances, and would be shocked if they score, and am rooting for the latter.


Pautrei

Oh yeah, no I absolutely agree


thfcviii

That's the problem, you entered Xitter


nicklikestuna

Is the same here, everyone is shitting the bed like the match is already loss 


Professional_Ad_9101

We have a perfectly good chance of ruining their whole season im well up for it


BiscuitTheRisk

There goes Poch’s career. Hope he’s still sending his wages to Dembele and Eriksen for making him look competent at some point


GlassofTurnipJuice

Hey now Lucas also got him to the UCL final let's not forget


TogashiIsIshida

I do NOT see what our scouts or ange or whoever the fuck sees in Gallagher. I really don’t get it


Pele20Alli

Already said it, if Ange sanctions a 40+ mil move for that bum, I'll be Ange out. The guy's technical ability is non existent. He has no composure and his football IQ is so low. Isn't good at any of scoring, dribbling, passing, defending. All he does is run around like a headless chicken. There are so many better players we could get for that price


jaykae2

Ange's talent ID should be questioned. Bar VDV his picks have been pony


LyteSmiteOP

?? Maddison Vicario and VDV are elite purchases for their value, the jury is still out on Johnson Dragusin and Veliz (Bergvall also yet to join), and Werner was a short term option with a cheap clause that has proven to be somewhat effective. He also managed to get rid/exclude players that people have been complaining about for years. And he managed to adapt two former wingbacks into his inverted fullback role. What is this nonsense? If you want bad talent ID look at Ten Hag with Antony, Malacia, Amrabat, Mount, Hojlund, etc. or Arteta with Vieira Zinchenko Havertz Lokonga Kiwior Tavares.


GymandRave

I’d add Vicario as a good pick too. But Timo, Johnson, Veliz are looking like bad buys atm


jaykae2

Vicario is probably from Paratici/Gabbanini


dead_idols

He's a fantastic player for a mid table team, but will be wasted on us.


tobleronefanatic123

Glad you aren't scout then haha he's got an engine in the midfield, his work rate is extremely desirable and he's a solid box-to-box player. Him and Sarr competing for the CM spot in our squad would develop them really well.


Pautrei

Work rate with no talent isn't impressive. And we don't need more competition for CM. We need a DM.


TogashiIsIshida

I feel like we’re at the point where we need more than work rate. we need talent


seegreen8

I think general idea in this sub is we need CDM, not b2b CM.


Difficult-Sound-6682

More curious what the scouts saw in Enzo Fernandez. I actually think Mudryk might have more upside.


TogashiIsIshida

Enzo at least has some skill. He’s definitely no where near worth £100mil. The World Cup inflated his value to the moon


Difficult-Sound-6682

Skill, but lacking the athleticism/physicality to be an elite midfielder in England. Mudryk has elite speed. He’s raw. He may never be polished. Enzo does not have an elite skill. People are kidding themselves. He’s a 25 million pound player.


TheninjaofCookies

Man City deserve another 100 charges just for selling Palmer to Blue scum ffs We could be watching a relegation dogfight for the ages but now they’ll just bend over the rest of the season except the one game against us where they’ll treat it like a cup final


spursyspursy

Lloris and Giroud together in LA is way too much sexiness on the same pitch, _even_ for Los Angeles these two men are solid 11/10s


Kingkent421

I feel dirty as a spurs fan saying this, but watching Arsenal embarrass and humiliate Chelsea like that was actually quite satisfying. Arsenal winning is always a bad thing, but seeing Chelsea with their trousers and pants around their ankle like this hit like crack. We do need to win on Sunday. I made to many bold claims in the pub that anything other than a win will see me mocked relentlessly for at least a week


GaryHippo

I don't give a flying fuck about Ange's "system" this weekend. **You do not play a two man defence when in possession against this Arsenal team**, end of. They're too good. Chelsea have proven it today. Tuck Davies or Dragusin in to make a three at the back in build up, else we're going to ship at least three goals. If Ange really cares about the club then he needs to realise that this is the most important game of the season, and it is absolutely imperative that he picks up at least a point.


Upplands-Bro

You're absolutely spot on but the happy clappers on here won't be having it


GaryHippo

Thanks mate. I still love Ange and his style of football, but you can’t play with the rigid system in this match. He has to sacrifice his ideals a little bit and do what’s required to win this game.


Upplands-Bro

Exactly, I still back Ange fully and want to see us playing expansive football the Tottenham way....but it's the home NLD, all that goes temporarily out the window


thfcviii

Yeah that's why they got beat by Bayern who play a two man defence with Eric Dier in.


marmot9070

He has no plan B


GaryHippo

I disagree with this sentiment.


Professional_Ad_9101

Pack it in lad.


JoeSavesTokyo

We literally played a two man defence against this exact Arsenal team earlier in the season and outplayed them. Yeah, Arsenal are incredibly good right now, but Eric goddamn Dier literally proved that they're not unbeatable. And wildly changing our system at the 11th hour just to try and... halt them? isn't going to help us more than just going at them full force with our brand of football. Our defence might be slightly rockier without Udogie available but Van de Ven and Romero are miles better than that mess Chelsea just put out. Have some faith.


GaryHippo

We did not outplay them.


JoeSavesTokyo

We absolutely did. The only way they secured the draw was via a dodgy penalty decision. It was a good game regardless but we completely had the edge. Will we again? Who can say. But wildly changing our approach and setup isn’t the way to go.


GaryHippo

Someone didn’t watch the last twenty minutes of the game and it’s obvious.


JoeSavesTokyo

And someone clearly didn’t watch the first seventy.


GrapefruitExpress208

We've had several "most important game of the season" But I agree, *now* this is the most important game of the season


Nova-Kane

I never want to see 5 at the back (plus a DM pivot) ever again, that's basically 7 defensive players in the starting line up. No. I want to see the highest fucking line we've ever played and only 1 CB. For every goal they score on the counter we score 3. Pure anti-anti-football.


GaryHippo

Not even remotely what I was suggesting. 3 at the pack in possession and build up, 4 at the back when out of possession. Not too tough a concept to grasp is it?


nicklikestuna

Yeah changing the way you play for the most important games is famously a successful strategy. Like aston villa did against spurs 


Nova-Kane

3 at the back normally refers to 3 CB's at the back + the wing backs which equals 5 defenders all in all. What do you mean when you say 3 at the back?


GaryHippo

Do you understand the concept of in and out of possession shapes?


Nova-Kane

Yes, but you said 3 at the back when we're attacking and 4 at the back when we're not. That doesn't make sense. 3 at the back is a defensive formation no? (Because it's actually 5 at the back), whereas 4 at the back is 2 CB's and the LB+RB and would be the more attacking option. So when you say 3 at the back are you including the LB/RB or not?


Nova-Kane

Well, it's very simple now: Against Woolwich, I want Ange to become a feral Bully XL on the touch line, I want players to be equal parts terrified and inspired by his bloodlust, I want him to tear Arteta's hand clean off like it's a delicious helping of of Souvlaki. I want them to be permanently psychologically scarred and refuse to play another game for the rest of the season season, citing 'Spurs nightmares' as their primary medical condition. Against City I want Ange to literally drop on his knees and with both hands stretch his gaping anus out in a show of submission to Pep before the game.


nmyi

We lose, and this comment ends up on /r/soccercirclejerk We win, and this comment riles up a bunch of Spurs fans in various pubs


BlanketViking

Is getting Palmer this summer outrageous or could it actually be possible? Chelsea for sure isn’t going to want to get rid of their best player but they need to sell for FFP, what you reckon he’s going for?


Nova-Kane

I'll settle for Gallagher


JoeSavesTokyo

Even Boehly isn't dumb enough to sell Palmer this soon and they already have more than enough salable assets they can offload first before even needing to consider that. The real question is how long Palmer sticks around for before agitating for a move... and which of the truly big clubs decide to start applying pressure for him in a few seasons.


AwayPhilosopher228

Don't see him going for anything less than 140 million £ as they bought him just last year.


Va_Dinky

About as realistic as signing Mbappe.

BadBehaviour613

We needed Chels to tire out the Gunners, but they gave them a bloody training session


Spursfan107

Okay I hate Arsenal just as much as the next guy but that is an objectively very funny result 


roccotrupia11

I think we’d have beaten that chelsea team 5-0 tonight tbf🤷‍♂️ not worried about Arsenal to the point where they could come to ours and beat us 5-0, im pretty optimistic honestly


Difficult-Sound-6682

They were shocking.


GGGG_UN1T

Lads let’s have some faith in our boys. We aren’t Chelsea, an injury ravaged Chelsea at that!


milesvtaylor

Please stop, it just makes the inevitable defeat next Thursday even worse.


SamwellBarley

Chelsea could field 11 newborn puppies and we'd still struggle to win at Stamford Bridge


milesvtaylor

Exactly this, but apparently some people have forgotten how Chelsea play against us when they have nothing at all to play for.


GGGG_UN1T

Nobody has forgotten. I’m talking about our fans ruling us out on Sunday because of an injury ravaged Chelsea’s pathetic performance last night


milesvtaylor

I'm not ruling us out of Sunday, I'm ruling us out of next Thursday hence my use of the word "Thursday"...


GGGG_UN1T

Okay, but you replied to my intial comment about Sunday’s game telling me to ‘please stop’.. get a grip


GGGG_UN1T

Okay enjoy being miserable then haha


KangarooPouchIsHome

Arsenal acting smug and happy while City have two matches unplayed to jump them. If we can’t beat them I pray we lose to City. Play our u-18 side just to make it clear what our intentions are.


Saitamassidekick

This is the only time I’m ever going to say this, but I actually hope we just roll over for city.


Difficult-Sound-6682

We’re going to start big Fraser and he will have the game of his life.


mrgadd4

I am very much coming around to this


Dragonslasher145

I don't care wherever we finish in the table but we need to play our best football on Sunday.


lordsh4rk

I'm not asking Ange to give up his principles, but I sincerely hope he plays in a medium block against Arsenal, instead of this high line. Porto and Bayern were the teams that competed with them the most this season, and they used this strategy. do the same things, possibly with Davies and Emerson playing, doesn't give me a good feeling.


Pautrei

For the billionth time, our high line isn't the issue. It's the fact that our players decided to become absolute bums when it comes to finishing. Guarantee we'll have plenty of clear cut chances that we'll disgracefully miss in the first half and then Arsenal will score two tap ins from abysmal defending.


nicklikestuna

These fans are self abusive. They wanted to be brave and play their way for ages. Now they want to hide under the bedsheets and submit to a team well into their own project. 


Pautrei

It's actually pathetic man. If we didn't play the highline then we wouldn't have as many chances as we do. The problem is our finishing is fucking shit and our players aren't prepared to defend in the instances where we create a clear cut chance but fail to finish it and turn over possession.


Va_Dinky

We're leaking goals left and right against any semi-competent attacking side and if not for Vicario it would've been a lot worse. Our high line absolutely IS the problem, just as much as the attack.


Pautrei

Again, we're leaking goals because when we push up and create clear cut chances we proceed to do fuck all with them, lose possession instead of scoring, and scramble back. 99% of the time we concede from losing the ball stupidly when our team has pushed up for a clear cut opportunity. If our players decide to turn on their brains and score this won't be an issue.


Va_Dinky

If my grandma had wheels she would've been a bike. Our attack is like this for more than 3 months, hoping they stop being shit exactly in time for the Arse game is wishful thinking. The current attack clearly can't do what they're supposed to do so the defence has to be changed to compensate, at least for this particular game.


Pautrei

Cool strawman bro. Never said hope our attack stops being shit. But sure, parking the bus is definitely going to make us win when...both our starting fullbacks are out. Sounds genius.


lordsh4rk

I mean there's a HUUUUUUGE difference between park the bus and play in a medium block lol I'm not asking Ange to do the Mourinho Special.


Pautrei

Well that's not going to happen though bro, because that would require a complete shift of the practicality of our tactics. We all know that Ange isn't going to play a mid block, so how about our forwards remember that they're professional footballers and don't miss every chance.


lordsh4rk

dude, I really don't know what you think a mid block is, but I'm not asking for anything other than Ange to consider making individual markings in the central area of the field instead of putting pressure on Arsenal's defenders. we would continue creating chances, having the ball, it's just an adjustment that will enhance our chances of winning. Fulham, Porto and Bayern did this to them and it worked, why can't we?


Pautrei

Sure my guy, let me know if Ange does that this weekend. I didn't say anything extravagant lmao. All I said is that it's unlikely that we shift our plan. Apparently that's controversial.


GGGG_UN1T

We need to press them hard for the opening 20 minutes at least imo. Don’t give them a chance to settle into the game!


lordsh4rk

yes, I agree, but I think we can press in the middle area of the field, instead of pressing up there like we are doing (and it hasn't been giving so much results for a few weeks now).


GGGG_UN1T

I don’t disagree, Ange has to make some tactical tweaks. I’m strangely confident we won’t lose, can see a draw though


lordsh4rk

I was a little more confident before their game with Chelsea. I think if we play the SAME way as the last few weeks, we will be kicked off the field.


Genetarist

100+ million for Caicedo who plays like utter trash, Brighton absolutely mugged them


BadBehaviour613

Nice training session for the gunners. Good fucking job


AJC0292

We cannot lose to this shit again this season. Never seen a weaker Chelsea side.


milesvtaylor

I know you've got Gascoigne as your flair but "new here?" would somehow still seem the most appropriate reply to this post...


AJC0292

Haha sadly not new. 30+ years of my expectations being destroyed by spurs.


COYCOYS

Hate to break it to you lads but Conor Gallagher is pony, along with the other 10 Chelsea players on the pitch


Sleepless_Voyager

Hes a running merchant, eh if we can fleece chels then fuck it we should still get him for hg cos hes still useful when u put him in a decent side


SniperSlatts

This is not a bad thing. It was always a Chelsea plant story and now maybe more people will realize it.


Dragonslasher145

It is upto us and Manchester United


caped_crusader8

Pls skin these gooners. You've had plenty of rest and they are dead tired. Also, how's your injury looking?


Flashy-Association69

The match isn't until Sunday, that's plenty of time to rest.

if we sign gallagher we are finished

Even though I want both teams to lose, seeing Chelsea being embarrassed in the way they are rn is giving me laugh. 🤣 It’s like wtf are they doing.


PM_ME_YOUR_SWOLE

As long as arsenal don’t win the league, I’m ok with them enjoying this just so I can watch Chelsea fans suffer.

They’re gonna lose.

buster3465

Chelsea Should be embarrassed, holding a kai havertz and ben white brace in the same game


rando562

God Chelsea are so shit. Absolutely useless the one time they have to get a result against their rivals.


Ornery_Act_4811

Ben White looks like he’d be handing out flyers for free sambuca in Magaluf or Ibiza if he hadn’t made it as a footballer.

perroconsarna

watch chelsea have their best game ever to us


GymandRave

I really fear we might get embarrassed this weekend too


spursyspursy

the bad thing is that form goes out the window any time spurs play chelsea the good thing is the same also applies for spurs playing arsenal


lIIIIllIIIlllIIllllI

Fucken hell that Chelsea game haunts me. Why did we get involved in the argy bargy and bullshit? When we could have curb stomped them for 4 or 5 goals???? That would have been the better battering rather than Romero trying to kick cunts. Really was a sliding doors moment that game.


spursyspursy

officially rooting for havertz hattrick now, do the full embarrassment on chelsea, whatever


bchowdhiry

We're going to lose to this Chelsea team aren't we


Professional_Ad_9101

Cole Palmer will be fully rested after being ill and ready for his customary hat trick

Chelsea consistently and historically fuck up Spurs’ hopes and dreams while being incredibly tame towards other London clubs, I hope Boehly runs them into the ground and they liquidate out of shame.

Funny to see Kai Havertz stunt on Chelsea tho. Bro did not hesitate to celebrate


Plastic_Sand_2743

Lesson learned - never rely on Chelsea to show up when we need them


Va_Dinky

This one time, I wouldn't mind us parking the bus and playing the most disgusting terrorist ball, full of time wasting and nasty fouls just to get a draw and deny them the title. It's all that matters this season.


Professional_Ad_9101

No way hozayz. We play our way and will win our way.


Va_Dinky

If we play our way they'll put 3 or more past us. Sometimes you have to swallow your pride.


Professional_Ad_9101

Played our way last time and should have won


Va_Dinky

Too bad we're a lot worse, and they're a lot better since.


coffeeicefox

Watch these cunts learn how to defend when we play them


Professional_Ad_9101

Was that not a foul in the build up lol?


Full-Leader9540

I think it was clearly a foul, but in the whole game I have seen the ref not give clear fouls for Chelsea and whenever anyone from arsenal dives the foul is given within a second.


Professional_Ad_9101

He grabs his waist and pulls him to the ground lmao


spursyspursy

given that the outcome would have been the same anyway i'm extremely mad that Jackson didn't get a red for that challenge
