We asked for your thoughts after Saturday’s Premier League game between Tottenham and West Ham.
Here are some of your comments:
Spurs fans
Chris: This was more like the Spurs we want and expect. After all the attacking pressure in the first half, getting the equaliser was really important. Then the start of the second half was amazing and probably should have seen more Spurs goals.
Silvia: Loved the game! Almost a throwback to old derbies we used to get. I felt we were always in the game, even when we went a goal down. We’ve got a bit of swagger about us at the moment. I know people will say it’s only West Ham, but a London derby is always a potential upset. Proud Spurs fan.
Simon: Against Brighton, Ange Postecoglou was way too slow to respond to Brighton’s tactical change in the second half. There’s always been a worry that Ange, much as we love him, is a bit of a one-trick pony. Against West Ham, he showed he can analyse a game and make the right tactical call when needed.
West Ham fans
Ken: This really was one of the worst team performances I’ve seen from a Hammers side. It’s as though the manager can’t get his ideas over to the team, or they either don’t understand what he wants or can’t bother to perform for him. Truly dreadful in the second half.
Grant: He has to drop Alphonse Areola. A poor keeper who uses his feet when he should use his hands and has very poor distribution. We have good individuals but we are not playing as a team. Ange schooled Julen Lopetegui today with his tactics and team set-up. Big improvements needed or this will be a season where we are battling relegation instead of fighting for Europe.
Gerald: Lively from the start. It was always going to be tough to defend against a side like Tottenham. As soon as they scored, they played deeper and deeper. It needed a change at half-time as the shape looked off and heads dropped quickly and we conceded a rout. The game was over in the space of 10 minutes. Another poor result while playing a passing style.
