OMT - Spurs v Palace

[the dza]

It was a sensible half of football from us, Lloris hasn't had a save to make, we've had a couple of chances. We've got the players on the bench to win this in the last 30 minutes or so and I reckon that's what we'll do.

It’s too defensive

It's too NFL.

 

[King of Norway]

COME ON YOU SPURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Baleforce]

It's too NFL.

There is literally a rule giving you only 40 seconds to make an attacking move when you have the ball.

Has the feel of one of those games where we keep plugging away, assuming a goal will just sort of materialise through osmosis or something, and then we do our Dr Spurs act at the other end in injury time.

Need Winks or Eriksen on. We have no passing ability in the middle

Dele s dropped to provide a bit of that but we really want him to be one of the ones receiving it. Winks orEriksen on (if they're on the bench) Wanyama off

Don’t think Wanyama and Sissoko have been bad. They’ve done ok. We know they aren’t Winks, Eriksen or Dembele but they’ve been alright. I’d leave them on a bit longer.

12 attacking 3rd passes, zero chances created, zero assists, zero goals.

He can make 1000 passes but if they're all of the standard they have been, we'll never score.

I knew you’d bite.

A game like this, Marcus Edwards on the bench would be useful to jink into the box. We just need to work the ball to around the box, and then get Moura, Lamela on the ball to open things up.

Alli having to come really deep now so that we have some passing ability

Jeez lorrise

 

[Rorschach]

Lloris was out last night it seems.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Is Lloris slowly turning into Gomes? Capable of making great saves but prone to numerous brainfarts

 

[scaramanga]

Get Winks on FFS

Poch would but apparently it hurts their feelings if you sub a player for being brick.

I thought the point of all this risky play around your defensive third, drawing the other side towards you in anticipation of creating pressure was so that you then transitioned quickly and exploited space higher up. We seem to do it for the sake of it, then just stagnate in midfield.
