Tottenham vs. Crystal Palace match thread

[ASCPFC]

This is basically a load of bollox.

It's not like Sage is unaware of the goals conceded in such a manner. Or perhaps he is totally oblivious! Whatever, it's the same old s*** and he has done nothing to address it, he has to go.

Can't get sages fault for the red card and players not looking behind them . That is beyond what sage can do or any manager for god sake stop going type its boring

 

[Mugaman]

Well the way Forest are doing in the league combined with their impatient mafia owner .. OG might be available soon ...

He could instruct them to go man for man instead of zonal.

 

[Teddy Eagle]

Back post again, will they ever learn? Considering the sending off they were doing OK, but this defending is suicidal.

It's beyond bonkers now - almost like it's deliberate.

I sent the following WhatsApp to my Spurs supporting mate this morning.

“We can’t defend to save our lives so you should fill your boots and don’t get me started on always leaving a man free at the back post when defending corners”

🤦‍♂️

 

[redshift]

Sage has had a lot of s*** luck and I do feel he was given s*** signings but the defending has to be his responsibility and it is so f***ing bad it is just rank amateur. I could have scored that header. He could have made a cup of tea waiting he had so much time. Terrible and unfortunately I don’t see how he survives the international break as it’s Liverpool next. I am not sure we will ever learn if he would have been any good.

On the plus side at least Forest lost again

We can play them next year in the Championship then.

 

[bigal]

This is ridiculous. We need an out ball so he has to change formation. Otherwise we are gonna get tonked

 

[Spindle]

Mate it ain’t just that defensively we are awful..!!

Some of that is due to Parish - our replacements for Guehi and Lacroix absolutely abysmal.

Matt Hobbs, not Parish

 

[Eaglecoops]

You know there is a managerial tactics issue when your players who you used to be able to rely on start to play shite. We are at that point and past it.

If I was Parish I would pull the plug this evening and fire Sage for gross misconduct to defending.

Sorry(edit) I meant to add that we now look exactly like West Ham after their success and we are heading in the same direction.

It's not like Sage is unaware of the goals conceded in such a manner. Or perhaps he is totally oblivious! Whatever, it's the same old s*** and he has done nothing to address it, he has to go.

My two questions would be:

1. Do you think conceding the volume of goals we have is an effective strategy? If yes he needs sacking but if no:
2. Why have you done nothing to address this? I can’t see a reasonable answer that would justify him staying.

 

[grumpymort]

This manager needs to go.

The guy doesn't learn I was not surprised one bit by the team line up it's same old with him.

Mateta is an idiot and I hope he receives a fine for that.

I am so glad I didn't go to this game.

 

[Frenchaigle]

At the end of the day selling Lacroix was madness .
I mean it came out of nowhere, with no replacement .
As well as being a great captain he carried Richards and Canvot .
And was vocal in the box .
That is on Parish

If the players aren't good enough then you have to recognise that and just get the most out of what you've got. We aren't. The squad is good enough to stay up and more, but not playing like this.

 

[Spindle]

Free header back post again then

 

[Eden Eagle]

Pino pulled back by Fernandes yet no yellow given

 

[Booted Eagle]

Actually you cannot blame that type of corner shoddy goal on the sending off. This might well be a Halloween nightmare 🎃😱

 

[TomH_CPFC]

Another back post header. This seems like more than the players not paying attention, they aren't that stupid or inexperienced. It's as though they're instructed to not be there.

You told them about it.
