keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted January 22, 2020 People blaming Cantwell for that don't understand football. Well thank you for putting us right. Cantwell had control of it and turned. Hanley's job is to pass it to him and not hoof it up field. Cantwell has been the best of our attacking midfield but slipped up on that occasion. Rupp and Duda are leaving him with too much to do. Hernandez must come on for Rupp if we think we can get something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,489 Posted January 22, 2020 We've had 50% of the possession but 90% of that has been in our half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Greenthumb 746 Posted January 22, 2020 Why is Rupp starting over Hernandez? Tettey and Zimmenann are awful. Krul cannot kick a ball! Cantwell got young and naive at the wrong time. Most of these issues could be spoken about regular. I like Farke, but seriously, change it up 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ron obvious 1,498 Posted January 22, 2020 Once again we look tired - although strangely a bit more perky after the goal. haven't noticed Duda - is he playing too deep? Ruup certainly is. I think we need Onel to give them something to think about. Cantwell has been excellent in attack. Trouble is he tries the same tricks in defence. You just cannot do that.

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted January 22, 2020 If you forget about avoiding the drop and simply try to enjoy the game then we're only one goal behind at Tottenham. If people thought Bournemouth was a poor game I don't know what they make of this one. We just aren't playing well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Il Pirata 249 Posted January 22, 2020 We're still in this. Absolutely imperative we don't concede again or its curtains. Pukki should have put at least one away, his finishing is a bit off at the minute. Still, I fancy him to score tonight. Hernandez and Drmic to inject a bit of speed and directness? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rupp and Duda are leaving him with too much to do. Hernandez must come on for Rupp if we think we can get something.  Bit in bold is exactly what I'm saying though, our players under pressure to play the ball every time, and too easy for a manager like Mourinho to get his players to exploit that. Go back and watch the Man City win, a game where we weren't afraid to just boot the ball into the stands if we felt that was the safer option. Thus we are too predictable, because we play the ball out every time, and Cantwell was the only ball he could play. When you've got a player as limited as Grant Hanley you have to be prepared to accept that it is better for him to hoof it like Malky Mackay now and again, otherwise things like this will happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nono 19 Posted January 22, 2020 People moan we didn't make signings, now moan effing hernandez hadn't started over Rupp! Make your bloody minds up! We are playing too deep because we have to in order to stop spurs! A blind person could work that out. As for Duda. Imagine if we had payed 25 million for him as some demanded we **** that sort of money. You'd have had your pitchforks out how average he is! Welcome to the billionaires league clueless folk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Il Pirata 249 Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) 18 minutes ago, Fuzzar said: Tettey a liability in the last 5 minutes. Missing Emi's creativity and Pukki should have at least hit the target with his chance. Tettey isn't consistently good enough for this level anymore. He's just not mobile enough and his passing under pressure is poor. This is where you have to look at the Amadou situation and wonder if he should have been used more, so that he could've been a credible option at this point of the season. Week in, week out, with Tettey, isn't where we should be now. Edited January 22, 2020 by Il Pirata 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know the answer to that question, but none of us really do. We do however know that James Husband was with Webber at Huddersfield. I also know that if you aren't given any sort of transfer budget and are relying on the loan market for your new defensive midfielder then you aren't going to have much to choose from, and usually it will be somebody who has failed to some degree at their parent club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We look relegation fodder at this moment. Almost like we've given Spurs too much respect. All that said we had 3 decent chances and not one on target!
