***OMT: Mighty Spurs vs Aston Villa***

[We are Tottenham]

why dont we attack the wings more..

So, so achingly slow. Chance to break, play it backwards.

In the first 5 mins Richarlison broke down the left right up as far as their box, fed it inside to PEH who didn’t even look forward (to Kane and Son who’d bust a gut) and just popped it back to our centre back.

We're just as useless now as we've been all season.

Well. Congratulations Tottenham. You got through the half without an attempt on goal

 

[Benny_Lad]

Either Mason doing a very poor job interview here or the players are disobeying his orders already.

At least the half time deficit makes our second half comeback a bit easier this time.

 

[paxtonwolf]

I would swap Danjuma for Richarlison and keep Kane back in midfield and see if he can do the Eriksen role feeding balls though/over the top for Son and Danjuma to chase

 

[We are Tottenham]

they get down the flanks fast and that splits us up! because the marking is poor..

 

[billyiddo]

Can we just stop wasting everyones time and just forfeit the rest of the season?

 

[Gazza]

Not being bothered = hoping we lose?

Not being bothered = not caring if we win or lose.

If only players didn't adopt your mentality you might actually be bothered.

 

[Rorschach]

Did we really have no shots in that half?

 

[Hotshot-Tottenham]

Can someone teach Romero the Spanish for “Stay on your feet”.

The only ones from Richarlison and Son were deemed offside so dont count in the stats

I wouldn’t disagree. They’re so high - would be good to have 2 pace outlets to threaten them.

It doesn’t help that we have nobody running from deep either. Both CMs rooted and Porro sitting on Royals lap for most of the half.

I sometimes wonder what PEH is trying to do.. does he even know..sometimes what he does comes off but other times??

The plus point is at 0-1 we are still well in the game, we could have easily have been 3-0 down. Hopefully Mason has some harsh words, tweeks the format/tactics and we turn it around. A draw is not a disaster if you accept 4th/5th has gone and it is a fight for 6th

Agreed. But Son urgently needs to focus on getting his timing right first.He's been playing into Villa's high-line tactics all game.

 

[Spoonman]

Either Mason doing a very poor job interview here or the players are disobeying his orders already.

Probably more likely that the players can't implement rather than disobeying his instruction.

Not points-wise. We weren't brilliant under Conte but we hustled wins.
