    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal FC ***

    Any time I actually look at the laws of the game, I always think they’re so badly conceived / written. Why not just leave the wording as ‘deliberately played’? Being ‘in control’ of the ball and ‘deliberately playing it’ are two different things, and being ‘in control’ is much more vague and...

    Rule changes in football

    Couldn’t agree more

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal FC ***

    Agree players still seem bought in, but I was talking more about confidence than buy-in. But as you imply, hopefully Ange is dedicating more attention to addressing set pieces than he is letting on publicly.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal FC ***

    Yeah those comments concern me. There’s no point working on other stuff if we’re constantly conceding from set pieces. It’s just gonna destroy the players’ confidence and mindset if nothing else.

    Rule changes in football

    Apologies you’re of course correct - I forgot my original point was about the Europa League, and was thinking about the Champions League when responding! (I already fudging hated that rule about playing CL castoffs to be fair though, haha)

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal FC ***

    Don’t think it’s fair to call them ‘a few half chances’. They were three good chances. 1.35xg alone, if we’re talking about xG (based on Understat). And that doesn’t include the clear penalty we should have had too. Don’t think anyone can deny that we edged the first half in chances. Not...

    Interested in your response to this @billyiddo!

    Rule changes in football

    I’m not sure what ‘extra round’ you’re referring to - as far as I can see it’s just been the top 2 of each group that’s been going straight into the last 16, up until now?

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal FC ***

    I’m fudging incandescent for not getting a penalty for the Kulu trip. 100% certain contact that sends him to the floor without any exaggeration of contact. AAAARRRGGGHH fudge off VAR if you’ll ignore that but overturn a goal for being 1 cm offside.

    Rule changes in football

    Yeah I can’t tell if I’m just being ‘old man resistant to change’. Though to be honest my main beef is the extra matches - if it was six matches and the top 16 go through I wouldn’t mind the idea.

    Rule changes in football

    I’ve only just discovered that the Europa League has the same changes next season as the Champions League - 36 teams, all in one big league, play 8 games rather than 6, and have to play a play-off game to get into the last 16 (if you don’t finish in top 8). Does anyone like these changes? I...

    ***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Saudi Sportswashing Machine OMT***

    Anyone else keen to see Ange try Bentancur as the 6, replacing Bissouma? I think he’d be at least as good on the ball, and might actually be more intelligent defensively than Biss too. Then stick Sarr at 8, and Biss on the bench for a game.

    Bryan Gil

    IMO it’s a bit of a myth that Modric was slight. Short, maybe. But look at these legs: I think Gil is unusually lightweight.

    Ange’s system / formation

    You’ve quoted me - was your post aimed at me? I don’t know why - personally I was just trying to start an interesting conversation about tactics, not make or ask for judgements on our success so far under Ange. Incidentally, I’m delighted with Ange and our progress under him. I’m just curious...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Nottingham Forest FC ***

    The worst thing about their goal was that it wasn’t even in transition. We were actually in our defensive shape. But Werner leaves their full-back, and Udogie inexplicably sprints towards him and then doesn’t run back with him. Can’t tell how much of it is Destiny’s fault, and how much is Ange’s...

    Ange’s system / formation

    As we close in on Ange’s first full season, what are people’s thoughts on his system / formation? Like most people, I love how attacking it is. But as time goes on, I find it a bit weird how it’s so focused on getting the full-backs into no. 10 areas. Wouldn’t we rather have the likes of...

    Timo Werner

    (Edit: actually maybe we’re saying the same thing - we don’t concede lots of chances, but when we do they’re high quality ones). Actually if you look at xG rather than shots, we do concede a lot of chances - 8th most in the league: Number of shots are low because we don’t give up much...

    Yup, that had me fudging fuming.

    **** Tottenham Hotspur FC vs Fulham FC ****

    To be fair we had those two giant chances we missed at 3-0 when the game was already over, which skews things.
