Well, that was poor wasn’t it?
All we did there is see a repeat of what’s been long known.
There are too many players that just aren’t good enough and they’re in the same positions we’ve been talking about for months.
Olsen, just no
Konsa, Mings, Digne. I’ve at best half heartedly defended them at times, but I can’t even do that anymore. They have individually been decent at times, but I’m sorry, I just think they’re shocking as a unit. They’re too slow, make poor decisions and don’t even make up for it by being cultured in knocking it round at the back.
Move on to the midfield and McGinn is another I just can’t defend anymore. You can be out of form by all means but it’s been over a year now and I’m running out of patience with him.
Buendia and Luiz were also poor too, but I’m willing to cut them some slack as they’re normally not that bad.
Bailey had a terrible shift and I’m not sure what to think today.
Watkins, well, he’s another who has been poor for too long. He should have had four goals today and he’s another I’ve had it with.
That’s probably an over-reaction and after a while I’ll probably be seeing things a bit differently, but it’s definitely fair to say there are just too many players who just aren’t good enough.
Don’t get me wrong, Liverpool weren’t very good either.
But the difference is they have more quality than we do.
Emery has his work cut out in bringing new players in and I hpe our owners are willing to dig deep.
Because we need a lot of players replacing, in my opinion.

1972 Hitch. I remember that time think we won the game that day .
Bloody hell. Emi on the bench over Olsen. I’d rather have Emi in goal with one leg than Olsen.
Anyway, Happy New Year Villans/ Villians!!!!
That’s at least one goal start for Spurs.
What is Emery trying to prove?
Unless Emi has come back the worse for wear…Even then I’d still prefer him.
I don’t have a good feeling about today’s game, looking into my crystal ball I can see an absolute drubbing.
Emi on the bench?…
Some truth to those arsenal rumours?
And now rumours that Villa are supposed to be interested in Pickford?
Spurs have won 10 of the last 12 (against us) and we’ve only managed to win 2 in the last 21!
Can’t really see past a Spurs win and, no doubt, Son will tear us apart – again!
After seeing Pep and his substitutes yesterday I’m not surprised at what managers do . Fed up saying it our footballers are in need of selling they are crap. We will lose and draw with wolves. I will get behind the team just to kick them up the backside. Happy New Year lads .
Happy New Year Bill and all.
As feared Olsen starts and Martinez / Cash are both on the bench which looks woefully weak to me.
3-0 Spurs which will maintain Olsens average goals conceded per match.
I think we are in for a drubbing. Is Emery stamping his authority. It won’t end well for him if he forces Martinez out the door. Emi is a big fan favourite and if like we expect, Olsen with the calamitous back 4 concede easily against Kane and Son to name just two, then fans won’t be happy early days. Also why Young over Cash? Is he trying to punish the World Cup players? There’s no way Cash won’t be ready!
Prediction 4-0 to Spurs.
