Hard to win 2 men down for the majority of the match. I didn't learn much about Spurs today.

I felt like I did. Insisting on the agressive front foot high line despite being down to 9 men is very telling. Yes they took then L but it will help them more often than not. Not many teams in the league will like being agressively attacked like that.

idk.... i think Ange was kind of exposed yesterday.
He cant adapt, his team can only play one way
You cant be down to 9 and play like that. it's suicide
Even Chelsea will score 2-3 goals
Jackson scored a hattrick for Gods sake

What exactly is Poch's philosophy :patrice:

He doesn't have one. Poch is just another moronic manager bullshytting his way through his time here and we don't have superstar attackers like Kane and Son to carry him.

There isn't a single thing he's done that gives you any confidence that good times are around the corner.

Thankfully he's got 19 months left on that contract so this will be over sooner rather than later.

Spurs playing a high line with 9 men is high key disrespectful

Pure disrespect. They wouldn't dare do that against a decent team but we are utterly braindead as a football club and they very nearly got away with it.

That Ukrainian refugee with a hall of shame cameo made me want to throw up.

Thought he got demoted to the Championship? :dead: @SCORCH


Apparently he fukked up in that Championship game too and he's been rewarded with the big Prem game of the weekend. They're setting us up yet again.



You all saw last night just how much an opposition player has to do to get sent off against Chelsea. Both Udogie and Romero should have been off before they finally given red cards. That shyt isn't a coincidence.

How many process/possession philosophy coaches actually do adapt tho? If you listen their post match comments they generally put more emphasis on performance over the actual result.

The more the happens the more I'm actually turning away from conspiracy shyt. These clowns are actually just incompetent. There's NO way, the PL can't afford to outfit touchlines with cameras and there's no way reviews should have to take that long.

Make the VAR refs completely different from the PGMOL ones and call it a day. The fact that someone can be demoted, have a howler in that match and then still come up and referee a match with potential title implications is madness. Literally the officiating in MLS is better an more consistent.

Every other pro sport has video review figured out but this one. I don't get it.
