Tottenham Hotspur Build up & Match Thread (a)

[The_weatherman]

****ing depressing, seems like another season down the drain. Klopp needs to wake up.

[Rich]

This could get to 6 or 7 if we aren’t careful.

[Gibbo]

We could get rid of 7 or 8 of these players, only really Salah and Coutinho who look like they could be in a league winning side, Mane when he's fit.

Even if we had man city money we probably would have a similar team, it seems Klopp is an all or nothing man.

[McDermotX]

What to do now...........Maybe put a reducer or two on Eriksen from an Irish perspective. That'd be nice.

[Slinky Skills]

Depends really, if Mig called for it then it is on a Matip. If not than all Mig.

Don't want to argue with you as there are bigger problems here but I really don't know what you see in him Ken, he's always been an atrocious keeper. He's probably the worst goalkeeper I've ever seen. Having an awful defence in front certainly doesn't help but he's a major contributory factor to that problem.

[Irishnev]

We needed a CB this sumner. Many said it in the summer and if people can't get on board with that opinion now they never will.

We needed two CBs

[Leyton388]

Just like in 2003' 2009 and 2015. After great seasons we stand still and fail to kick on. Klopp needs to wake up and buy a whole new defence. Two years here and it's still Rodgers joke of a defence.

[BobTheCharmer]

It might take that for him to get the message.

[Kenneth]

I know you like him Ken but that was all Mig all day, no matter what if he is coming he has to get to that.

He's not not good enough, none of the back 5 are.

I disagree with the first part but can't really argue with the second.

[Gibbo]

Hate that cunt Kane as well gormless gobstobber in mouth sounding prick

[rodo]

15 goals conceded in 5 away games

[Kenneth]

Looks like the europa league is our main hope of CL qualification next season imo. It's a long shot but you never know.

[fidget]

Mad Albert's good form is continuing

It seems to be that the issue is much more deep rooted then the manager.

We've had different owners and managers through that period of time

[Tatterdemalion]

Thing is, I could overlook some of these defensive lapses if it could really be pinned on playing attacking football and leaving the back exposed (a la Uncle Roy). But that doesn't explain half of it. It can't even explain half of the defensive errors (which there would be more of if it was simply down to an attacking style). There are simply too many individual errors which have nothing to do with the style and everything to do with a lack of concentration and talent.
