so shitOur Defence - Has it actually been fixed?
- Thread starter Untd55
- Start date
so shitYet our manager spent the £130m on two of them just last summer.
At this point, Sancho would be a luxury signing, Spurs look like scoring everytime they're in the box.
It’s been fixed like you’d get your dog fixed.
Don't go blaming the board alone. So many of our fans wanted him. Oh feck we in trouble. Red card
Bailly is playing one man defence right now but go on. Feel free to shit on him when his clown partner is the one letting everyone down.
Great timing, bro
Erm. No.
Was always a slow Chris Smalling that thinks he's Beckenbauer, it's crazy.
Bailly is so fecking bad.
Hope everyone is happy with the results of trying to play the ball out of the back when its not sensible
We could have Baresi and Maldini in their prime and our defense would still be shit. This is more of a coaching problem than a personnel problem IMO.
Clearly not. We wont even make top 6 im f**king raging right now. Call to bring EB back and he flops. Dont get me started on that £80 mil slab head flop. Joke of a club
It doesn't change the fact that he's a far far better defender than that cart horse. The game was already over anyway.
No he's not. Neither are good enough and that's the point.
Doing fine without Lindelof though.
It's so obvious that Greenwood and Rashford are not required to track back.
You know what, Bailly is absolutely garbage and the hipsterism about Lindelof is well and truly apparent now.
Even before the third, he threw himself at a loose shot and could easily have given away a penalty if it'd hit his arm. Such reactionism is not good good defending.

The biggest signing the club could ask for is..
- A defensive coach to organize the defensive unit
- An offensive coach to sort out how we break down a low block
- A director of football
Maguire was at fault for Spurs’ first two goals. He’s not cutting it either.
Yeah
"Ole has made fantastic signings though, we should make him our DOF"
How many times have I read that on here
I know, it's so stupid. As if spending $160m for deadwood is a mark of genius.
And again.
Definitely. Rashford, Martial, Greenwood, Pogba, Bruno and, imo, VDB are all better than every player behind them.
Yes he is. He's suffering from what Lindelöf suffered: Trying to save Maguire's ass countless times because he's fecking slow and clueless as a defender. Also under a competent manager Bailly have the ability to be a top defender. For Maguire there's no hope as he's absolutely average and that's his ceiling.
Did you like Maguire's defending in 4th Spurs goal btw?
Transfers are not an exact science, we just have to go again.
For all his physical weaknesses, Lindelof is the ONLY player who talks and attempts to organise our defence.
Hopefully people will now realise that.
Lindelof/Bailly should be at least tried as a combo.

I don't know what people see in Bailly. Lindelof is crap, yet miles better than him.
Ole has fixed nothing. 150 million spent last summer on our defence and right wing. Our defence is now worse than it used to be and James isn't anywhere near good enough for us. There's this narrative that his signings have been great but Bruno aside, they haven't. And he's a very average coach to boot. Should be a lovely season ahead while we refuse once again to move on and modernise as a football team.
Best of it is, spurs are going elbow deep on us with no lube and it still wont be enough to send a message to that clown woodward and the glazers that were shit. Bet josé's loving it
It's like we watch different games. Bailly was crap for us even before Maguire was signed. So no, I don't think he's a top defender.
But I really don't want to get drawn into a car crash discussion on our car crash of a defense
Our starting defense today only cost £200m
Honestly to a man they are horrendous. Wan Bissaka is fecking useless at pretty much all things apart from 1v1 defending. Please nobody tell me he is anything different than that. His on ball quality is embarassing and his defending in all other aspects is horrendous too.
Maguire has shown good form in the past, and maybe he is decent. But he is not the guy to be the main guy, nowhere close. Bailly I like but after 4 years.. can't really say he's worth his spot. Shaw is mediocre at every aspect of the game. Just fecking delete the defensive group and start over.

That sounds a great idea to me. Better than any bloody signing at this point.
Worst defending I’ve seen. Worse than Moyes, Jose, LvG.
Absolutely pathetic defending.
Absolutely pathetic defending.
Need a new LB, Shaw been exploited and we been humiliated with 2 goals or more conceded from the Left back
We need better defenders AND more mobility in the midfield... they are not covering enough ground.
Maguire is a fecking meme isn’t he. I’m sorry but never in a million years is he worth the money.
30m player tops.
30m player tops.
Buying more players isn't gonna fix shit. These players are no where near as bad as they are playing.
We signed a guy to be a difference maker, he isn't.
