Spurs (A) Match Thread

[Antynwa]

And who said pre-season isn't important eh?

 

No fluency, No style of play, No nothing, just amateur football and amateur defending and shit passing. Pre-Season is important you need it to apply all of the above and ensure you start off strong. Where was people hoping we'd pull out some consistency and form, out of our fucking arsehole?

 

Can't fault the team selection, thought tactically we where spot on but we looked so tired and no one seemed to know what anyone was doing, our passes where kept in small triangles with no one to offer anything different. Torres was playing far too deep and Babel was just Babel.

 

Yossi MUST start next game.

 

Gutted I am....

[loadsoftrophies]

A big load of poo. Squad is still very poor unfortuantly especially with Voronin coming off the bench, really hoped i'd never see him again. Hopefully we'll buy someone before the window closes as we badly need another forward.

[Uncle Jimbob]

Fucking Carra with the hoofball...Oh well. Yossi was absolute class and must start every game. Lucas was alright i think. Reina is world class. And Johnson had a good game too.

 

We need to stop bypassing the midfield, Carragher is a fucker for it. Always with the long ball.

[RedKnight]

Yossi should've started. We were awful, I'm gutted.

Liverpool have lost their Barclays Premier League opener at White Hart Lane, where the score was 2-1 to Spurs after goals from Benoit Assou-Ekotto, Sebastien Bassong and Steven Gerrard. Call LFC TV now on 0845 234 4567.

 

Is 0845 234 4567 the Samaritans number?

 

 

Dreadful today. Squad looks so thin. I couldn't see us getting a win a few minutes into the game today. Yossi should have started.

[deadlash]

Best player, Benayoun...Reina and Johnson did okay. And he was only on for the last half hour. What does that say about the rest of em???

[rebel23]

two things really annoyed me about that game, Babel and Carragher.

[Section_31]

Bit shit that like. I hope this Aquilani lad turns out okay because we look desperately short of ideas and quality in the middle. Johsnon impressed though.

[Randy Marsh]

Need a fuckin rocket up our arses after that today. Abysmal except a few flashes in the second half.

 

First XI still a real world class attacking player short, and short of depth in the whole squad, as I and many others expected.

 

I'm not one for knee jerk reactions but if any kind of bid comes in for Babel I'd sell. I know it's the first game but he just looks to be carrying on from last year with that piss poor attitude and general not looking arsed performance.

 

As shite as we where, we still should've had 2 more penaltys. Dowd is a fuckin disgrace the fat fuck.

 

Still a hell of a long way to go, and some on here need to stop being over dramatic women and writing the whole season off one one shoddy performance. We need to take something from this and use it as a wake up call because we really where shite today. I am a little worried. Just hope the bastard yanks give the manager a few quid because there NEEDS to be another big signing IMO.

[WhiskeyJar]

The difference is that this year we dont have those intense CHL qualifiers to fire us up.

 

Server Overload

[zigackly]

Didn't start the game the way we should have and then we're always going to be playing catchup. Why the fuck can't we start playing before the opposition scores against us? We did it in the latter stages of last season and it paid massive dividends. We seem to have reverted to type again though. If we play every game as if we mean to win it from the first minute then we will win a shitload more than we lose. Fanny around until the other team gets into the game and we will get fucked in the arse.

[dennis tooth]

Well, Babel has an excellent chance here. No excuses.

 

liverpoolfreegive

[Carra_is_legend]

I love Rafa BUT

 

When the fuck will he stop waiting for 60 odd minutes to change the team? Crying out for Benayoun in the first half when Babel wasn't even involved in the game. But no, he waits for 62 minutes to fix that fuck up.

 

Same here. It drives me fucking nuts. Why? Every fucking time! 60 fucking mins!

 

Benayoun did more in 10 mins than Babel in the whole of 60 mins.

I didn't want to win the league anyway. And neither does Benitez, if that display is anything to go by.

 

Playing catchup already, unbelievable. Well, at least I don't need to waste any money on trips to Anfield this season.

 

good fuck off then

[tokyojoe]

Bad start to the season. The mancs have had two bad starts to the season and won the bloody league.......twice

 

Now stop moaning and don't shut the server down.

 

We will win the league.

[Unrighteous]

Disgraceful performance from a half fit squad.

 

And what the fuck is with Babel playing... Hes shit and everyone knows it.

[BookableOffense]

On the one hand frustration.

 

On the other hand, I know that the back line will settle down (very much liked the look of Johnson today, hope that continues); the midfield problems can be resolved with the personnel we have--let's hope we get it right quickly. Up front, I'd still like to see us bring in another striker, but it seems a bit unlikely at this point. Vorro...could've been worse.

 

Babel intrigues me--if I were still working in the garage I worked at, it'd be an intriguing in the sense that, like I did with many problems that didn't make sense, I'd bang my wrench against the tool cart until the solution became apparent. I don't suppose you can do that to footballers?

 

On the other hand fucking fucking shit.

[Joe Le Taxi]

People complain about the FF being bad, it could be worse. Looked on offal, at least 3 threads on sacking Rafa already.

[Red Nick]

I promise that if we get beat or and play badly not to kick off on this forum and criticise the team or that manager even if he does take Torres off with 10 minutes to go and were losing 1-0

 

So how many of you will make the same pledge today not kick off if we lose or play badly.

 

Now play nicely boys and girls

[Mr Piechnik]

Ahh server overload....it must be the new season.

 

The only positive from today was Benayoun, actually showed some drive and creativity. He has to start every game if fit.

[RedKnight]

liverpoolfreegive

 

He has no excuse, Yossi did more in five minutes than he did in sixty-five.

[TonyTNT]

A lot of players looked tired or it could just be off the pace, we had a shit draw going to WHL first game, but I will eat my shit if Spurs do not turn over any of the other top 4 during the season.

[Red Nick]

Same here. It drives me fucking nuts. Why? Every fucking time! 60 fucking mins!

 

Benayoun did more in 10 mins than Babel in the whole of 90 mins.

 

Babel wasnt on the pitch for 90 minutes

[lamai]

those fucking yank bastards need to come up with some funds now.

hoodle is right their bench is better than ours. crouch looked very happy

when they scored against us the lanky prick
