*** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Bournemouth ***

[alekaras]

If a Bournemouth player had taken that shot, the deflection would have gone in. Such is our luck.

 

[DubSpur]

I wonder if he might be better as a LWF? Our narrow pitch doesn't suit him having to cut in on his weak foot.

Narrow pitch??? It's the same as every other pitch

 

[fernadez]

Forgot Kulu was playing

 

[IulianSteaua]

Imagine playing with 3 CBs and having so many problems defensively with Bornemouth. We need 2 world class CBs if we continue with 3 at the back. That should be our primary target în the transfer window.

 

[Baleforce]

We have zero midfielders capable of running a game. Then we make it even worse by playing just 2 in there. So painful to watch in the middle of the pitch.

it’s not just that, those ahead of them are not working hard enough to get open either

 

[alekaras]

I’d play Dier left
Romero right and Sanchez central
Sounds daft bug Sanchez has less issues in the middle and Dier will pass with his left

The thing is that all their attacks are from our left, so you probably want your best defender on that side?

 

[SpurMeUp]

We spent well over 100m on Richarlison, Bissouma, Porro.

if we’d just bought Botman and or Gvardiol instead.

Bissouma, Richarlison and Porro are all decent players even if we overpaid and should come good next season. But to kick on this season we needed to make our money count.

Forgot Kulu was playing

I worry more about him than Son.

 

[tommysvr]

Absolutely awful performance once again. Why the fudge can’t the coaches change something?

The problem isn't about the CBs, it's that we have to defend so much. We should have the lions share of possession against a team like this, the rest of the team is doing fudge all to retain possession.

 

[spurspinter1]

Kompany last kicked a ball 4 seasons ago

Though I do think it would be wise for Poch to take on a 4th senior coach, to change things about a bit. Someone up-and-coming like Kompany or Carrick would be good, but it will probably be Mason

So you think Kompany would choose to leave the team he has led to promotion to be a 4th senior coach at Spurs? It's an absurd suggestion.

 

[Kandi1977]

When are we ever gonna learn? How many times are we gonna shot ourselves in the foot, by d1cking around at the back?
Horrific from Porro. You NEVER EVER try to go centrally there! Always go outside! It's fotball abc for 7 year olds!

The first two were expected by most to make a quick impact

 

[Spur of the moment]

Who didn't see that happening, it was coming for about ten minutes. Lazy players all waiting for somebody else to do the hard work.

Except for Skipp.

Bissouma has been dirt poor this season, Porro needs a bit of time, Richarlison can only play at 100% as a striker.

 

[Baleforce]

because the players are lazy clams

 

[Chrissivad]

I worry more about him than Son.

Son has had a good game so far.

3 good chances, and able to turn players (even if it's a wide turn)

Kulusevski is playing tucked in
Need Porro to push up and get into similar position that Perisic has been getting into.

 

[Spur of the moment]

Why are we defending so much anyway? Bournemouth are terrible. We should be all over them.

Not going forward their not. They're playing us off the fudging park.

 

[spurspinter1]

That is 100% on Porro

It's largely on Porro no doubt but the bad touch from Sanchez (my 4 year old niece showed more composure in the park yesterday) delayed the pass and as I say, inspires a bit of panic in an already nervy defense.

 

[Baleforce]

Royal can’t get fit quick enough, we are a better team with him in it.
