Match Ratings Ratings vs Sheffield United

[kd2000]

Just pathetic.
Son must have some incriminating evidence on Conte or Levy.
He was horrendous today and his actual lack of awareness of others, his inability to control a ball first time or make a simple 5 yard pass are becoming draining.
I just don't get what he brings to the team at present

Forsyth 4
Sanchez -10 . He has had some stinkers in a Spurs shirt but this caps the lot. Why on earth wasn’t he hauled off at half time for Romero ? As shit as we were with that change we don’t lose and if combined with Kane for Son at half time we win.
‘Dier 3 very poor
Davies 5 ok, tried
Porro 3 - they say what’s worth having is worth waiting for but in this case …
Perisic -5 would have been -10 but he improved a bit in the second half . He should have come off for Danjuma so he could have played on the left. I would have done that at half time too.
Hojbjerg 0 - awful . Deserved to go off more than Sarr
Sarr 6 - tried , gave 100%
‘Lucas 6 - excellent first half, unsurprisingly tired second half
Richarlison 1 - awful
Son 0- even more awful
Kane 3- no impact, brought on too late , missed sitter
Skipp 5- busy but not enough time

Managers -10 . Obviously couldn’t give a shit about this competition. Stupidly weak starting line up and even more stupid to make the wrong substitutions at the wrong times. The non substitution of Sanchez by Romero the most idiotic of all their decisions. The FA Cup is historic for Spurs fans and most of us would take 5th place and an FA Cup over 4th place and no trophy. Not the coaches though and definitely not Levy and co.
MOTM- Romero.

Nobody gets more than a four. Most of the blame for the latest embarrassing cup exit lies with brain dead players - all of them, but mainly so-called attackers - not changing tempo. The lack of purpose and urgency among them is a sight to behold, and it's all too common a theme when you watch Spurs playing in front of other deep lying teams. It is shocking that they don't themselves recognize the pattern within about 20 minutes and change it by changing tempo and trying riskier passing moves. Certainly, you'd want to get crosses or longer passes pinging into the area in front of their keeper so that some mistakes or panic could occur. We did fuck all, and Perisic's useless floating 'crosses' don't count.

Our plodders don't ever seem to do anything when we haven't created a chance or tested their keeper for whole swathes of a match. And that's before we even get started on keeping 3 players back marking nobody and then contributing themselves to square trundle passes rather than bursting through the lines and giving opponents something to think about.

It stinks that these guys - players and coach - earn such a handsome living while repeatedly going through the motions and not recognizing and addressing these repeatedly limp displays throughout this season and plenty prior.

This performance reminds me of when I inhaled a tin of fart.

For me the whole Son (1) can't be subbed is the peak madness of our management. It feels like we have 10 players with him on the pitch to me. Moura(6) who we're chucking out this summer made him look like a traffic cone .

Kulu (3) is a shadow of the player we had a year ago, completely lost his form. Richie (2) oh dear, let's hope he can turn his form around, no sign of it last night..not even a glimpse of shithousery.

Grim, depressing night. Not feeling good about Wolves on Sat.

Back 3 and front 3 should have been swapped over.
Would probably have improved things.
Back 4 can divi up 10 between them.
Front 3 the same.
Sarr showed and wasn't bad.
Porro tried but not sure yet what he brings to the RHS.
It's the LHS that needs re-generating
Substitutions too late yet again.

Moura can't resist a blind alley and clearly missed the week at soccer school
dedicated to 'passing'

Voted None deserved, though in a way the loss was a team effort.

My report card:

Sanchez - F
Dier - D
Davies - C

Porro - D
Perisic - D

PEH - B-
Sarr - B-

Lucas - C
RIchy - D
Sonny - F

Harry - D
Danjuma - D
Kulu - D

COACHING STAFF: - F
What a fucking stupid selection. Our biggest chance to win silverware and we decide to make absurd changes. I despite the ESPN clowns, especially Stevie Nicol - but at half-time I agreed with him. You should start with your strongest team. Win it in the first half, and then rotate players in. Should have taken this as seriously as a PL game. But we didn't and paid the price. At the 55th min mark I already knew the game was lost. As we have seen this film so many times it's unbearably predictable.

Yep was thinking that last night.

Why on earth didn’t we start strongest team then try to blitz them before making sensible substitutions in second half to then rest players?

We can rightly say we should have made more effort to sign better centre backs, but Conte has used the squad pretty poorly all season and doesn’t seem to understand how to use substitutes effectively.

This result is on Conte and his poor selections, tactics and substitutions.

 

[Houdini]

It looks like a team of strangers had nicked the Spurs strip and had a kick about with Sheff Utd.



And lost...

 

[Marty]

Team effort seems appropriate here.

The combined effort of all the players being zero.

Isn't it eerie that they played exactly like this last year at the same time against a Championship team away from home in the FA Cup in the same round. Bizarre.
