***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Emirates Marketing Project, Sunday Feb 1 KO - 4.30pm***

[IulianSteaua]

Incredible save

 

[Bishop]

That Vicario save is a perfect example of what hes good at. Close range reaction shots and you can't get much better than him, but a lot of other saving and general goalkeeper categories hes very poor.

 

[Rorschach]

Frank needs to tweak something. This is going pear shaped.

 

[IulianSteaua]

Who would have replaced him?

Would have tried Xabi Alonso first.

 

[Chrissivad]

Dragusin been a liability.

He was never going to be up to speed with the games he has missed. And up against players that want to run at him.

But they could score every attack if the want...

 

[Gutter Boy]

They are bypassing our midfield at will

So are we.

This has got the feeling of one of those 5-0 or 6-0 from the end of AVB

 

[MartyFunkhouser]

Bissouma reverting to his type....rubbish

 

[SpurMeUp]

He was never going to be up to speed with the games he has missed. And up against players that want to run at him.

But they could score every attack if the want...

He looks scared and off the pace. Romero was trying to cover but should never have opened up like that. And gave the forward a free hit for the goal. Frank needs to shout at him and tell him to start playing!

 

[Bishop]

Radu is clearly rusty. He been out for ages. He kept Cherki outside just the shot went in.

I have never been a fan of back 3 since Conte cos I feel we lose a midfield option. The only time I felt it worked was under poch when Dier would drop from DM to CB when needed

I HATE 3 at the back as a system. I'll never like it because like you suggest unless you play it to perfection you are almost guaranteed to lose the midfield battle and midfield is where games are won.

 

[paxtonwolf]

their xG is 0.26

Got to be honest, I dont look at xG, I look at Haaland missing a chance he would quite often take, and Vicario making a great save to keep out Cherki

 

[monkeybarry]

Kinsky was awful in his last game wasn't he?

He played 5/6 games last season?
Was brilliant in 2 and terrible in 1 if I remember.
Made the kind of mistakes you'd expect someone of his experience to make.

 

[Bishop]

Would have tried Xabi Alonso first.

Do you seriously think he would come here? For what?

 

[billyiddo]

They are bypassing our midfield at will

We've been saying this every week since Dembele & Wanyama

 

[monkeybarry]

Oh, that'll go on the "best passing sequences" dvd. Noiccce

 

[Rorschach]

They look beaten in their heads already.

 

[SpurMeUp]

Red. Striking him in the head. Should have laid on the turf there!

 

[Gutter Boy]

I HATE 3 at the back as a system. I'll never like it because like you suggest unless you play it to perfection you are almost guaranteed to lose the midfield battle and midfield is where games are won.

You concede the midfield and dont have enough players for any sort of press. And most CBs hate it/are brick at playing it. Its an awful awful formation

 

[Baleforce]

should be a card

clear hack

 

[monkeybarry]

Do you seriously think he would come here? For what?

Defensive midfield role?

 

[Chrissivad]

I agree Gallagher...
