West Ham vs Spurs | PL | 13.9.25 | Predictions and Match Thread

[stubbo-admin]

With the 'interesting' football hiatus that International Football brings, figured I'd get this match thread up.  The result against Forest makes this game in some ways less significant (as the clock will have been reset on Potter's tenure) but also more interesting as there is a modicum of form to take into the game.

Fullkrug should obviously never be allowed on international duty again, what with it being an injury magnet for him, but that aside, as of now there are no new injuries.  Rumours of a Summerville injury also appear unfounded.

So from a lineup perspective, I'm expecting something like:

Hermansen

Walker-Peters  Mavropanos   Kilman   Diouf

Ward-Prowse Magassa

 Bowen     Soucek   Fernandes

Paqueta

Subs: Areola, Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Igor, Rodriguez, Irving, Guilherme, Summerville, Willson

Left out: Earthy, Marshall, Potts, Scarles.
Prediction: 1-2 Spurs (Muani, Kudus;  Bowen for us)

Defending corners is not the problem. Most teams are not going to defend 10 corners in a row without issues.  The problem was how many corners we let them fucking have!

Maybe playing Paq up front instead of midfield really fucked us here. Couple that with JWP and soucek together and in midfield and we sort of lost control. 

New midfield guy isn’t up to speed with this league either so I doubt he dislodges JWP. 

I dunno what to say anymore with us. Sometimes you see good things and then it’s just pure disappointment. 



 

 

 

Leaving a man at the back post is diabolical marking, caused by the defensive set up, not a result of an accumulation of corners. 

The speed at which we implode is fucking laughable. Fucking embarrassing. Zero backbone like old cock weasel in charge.  

Starting no centre forward today was criminal. Assuming he stays, he’ll blame the formation and revert to good old 5-3-2 next week, the pillock.

Chutney ferret must be creaming his thong over this .

Paul Robinson
Former Tottenham goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live at London StadiumGraham Potter has got problems. I was surprised when they signed Mads Hermansen.He was susceptible last season and watching him today he has not left his line once.You need help from the goalkeeper and that has not come from Hermansen.
From the beeb.

[Helmut Shown]

Well wasn’t that fucking awful. They were taking the piss in the end. If some of our players were playing for the 4B2s they would have had the most successful passing rate. Is there nobody in this team that can pass the fucking ball.

[COOL HAND LUKE]

Yes, no natural leaders.

Almost without realising it, for a good while there we had several players that the others could look up to and draw strength from when the going got tough. We've got a few decent individual players now, but I don't really see anyone filling those leadership roles at present. 

[ragingbull]

Kudus was about to score but Irving blocked it.

[Tomshardware]

Do we have nothing better to offer than Andy fucking Irving ? .. QPR have better players than that 
.

 

 

No need for that.

[Sir Alf]

Agree to a point 360 but the GK is weak on crosses to the point where he only came and got a fist to one cross. He just showed what hes good at which is shot stopping. 

Magassa aint that quick but looks strong and should improve but as you say we can never start games with JWP and Soucek ever again. But Potter will Im sure.  

Relegation looks a strong possibility at this point

[Alfs]

Kudus is desperate to score against us, the cսnt.

JWP comes off in injury time. Guess his race was run

On the bright side Sullivan's ladyboy is started to look like a women in which case he might leave him/her.

[nychammer]

Nuno employs Moyesball style tactics but I cannot see we have the players for that now. But he cannot do any worse and might sort out the defending of set pieces. 

The last 4 seasons have been pretty awful aside from the cup win. The owner remains the root problem

Nuno is headstrong and had issues with the Forest owner, imagine how its going to go down with Sullivan. Expect a yes man.

loads of empty seats now. Just serves to imagine that shit hole will be in the championship

[ragingbull]

We have to be thankful like Chelsea they've taken the foot off the gas.

[Ron Eff]

Potter is acting like a man who sees his best option as being paid off... 

BUT... we have to remember that it isn't him that crosses that white line each game... 

Lots of culpability here again today. And we've got about 25 minutes to go yet.

 

He coaches a team that shit themselves at every corner. Moyes was diabolical at some things, but we almost never conceded from a corner. What the fuck is that all about? He’s supposed to understand football but can’t address that glaring issue. 

 

We had proper leaders then, daws oggy zouma rice.

this shower of shit now are wankers 

 

 

So who is to blame for identifying the need to replace these shower of shit wankers?

[Any Old Iron]

This team has no spirit or true fight in it, which when you look at our PE teaching manger is not really surprising. Add that to his clueless team selections and tactics then he has nowhere to go except the exit door. The Forest game gave him a stay of execution but losing like this to the scum is inexcusable. CPP has to go.

[Sir Alf]

Well at least the protests will gather support. 

[Mike Oxsaw]

Never has a swallow's summer been so swift.

[ragingbull]

If Nuno comes in at least JWP will be out on his arse.

Every team we play is quicker than us all over the park. Summerville, KWP and Diouf may be the exceptions. You need speed in the Prem Lge.  

With 10 men Spurs just playing out the minutes with the game won.  

Magassa looks like a bigger and slightly faster version of Kouyate

This happened before to the 4 be 2s.It was in a film Carry on up the Bible I think. It was; when the red sea opened up for them
