This is why Wilder is struggling as a Premier League manager. After 5 minutes it was 100% clear that Spurs had set up to stop our wide play. Here we are 40 minutes later and 2 down and he does fuck all.

You're suggesting there's something he can do.

Like Brian Clough always said-
"Players lose you games, not tactics. There's so much crap talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at Dominoes"

Not sure Wilder 'tactically' told Bogle to give Aurier a free header or told Norwood to give the ball away so often.
 
Hey Pommps,

You can just copy and paste Souness's comments on Norwood today. Save yourself the bother of coming up with something.
 

Completely out of our depth, Fleck has a free cross there and just hits it behind. We look like a lower table championship side playing a champions league team.
hate to think what we looked like earlier on in this season, when we couldnt even make a pass stick or take a shot at goal... we look much more dangerous now then back then..
 
Aside from the usual individual errors, we've been a lot better going forward. Got some tenacity about us, just can't score.
 

Burke doesn't use his pace often enough'​

Sometimes Ollie Burke picks the ball up and goes past players - you realise he has got the most explosive pace, it's extraordinary the pace he's got. Sometimes it's a down side because with that physique and that pace he should be tearing teams apart with that. He doesn't seem to be getting in those positions often enough.
 
Just seen the highlights of the first goal, has there been a rule change I missed about not allowing teams to have defenders on the post?
 
Not sure what we expected, but spurs are killing us. The next 3 games are a write off.
I expect us be be in their faces, full of energy and chasing lost causes to make up for the lack of quality. We have too many players not doing this
 
Horses for courses why in that situation do we try to play out from the back try to match Tottenham football wise you lose get in there face and make it horrible get the ball forward keep turning there back line sick of hearing that the game has changed get the ball forward play them in there final third
Defender,defend
Midfield play two touch get the ball into the forwards feet early then get up and support
The first Tottenham goal defenders stop grappling with the Tottenham players and go attack the ball and head it clear nobody got off the ground
Sick of hearing about our fullbacks overlapping just do your job defend anything else you give us is a bonus
 
Souness is right, but Norwood on a booking, although had to do more.

True mate. Some fight and fire in the bellies would go a long way.
 
Whats really distressing is Wilder gave him a 3 year contract not that long ago. He's here for another couple of seasons as nobody elsenis going to pay his wages.
Not nessasarly, we probably put a relegation reduction clause in the contract.
