*** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United ***

Skipp is our weakest link in the midfield. Only reason ppl put him in the team is becouse his english and home player.
Hojbjerg beats him on all the stats, Skipp aint half the player Hojbjerg is.
Google Hojbjerg vs Skill and take a look
 
With strict instructions to stay upfield and run in behind. No defensive duties for him just harassing their backline all game. Just okay like he used to, not some ConteEsque sham.

You know Son got the golden boot whilst being managed by Conte right?

Agree on the idea you're proposing if there's a solid defensive structure behind him (which we currently lack) but this notion Conte had put the shackles on him doesn't match up with how productive/ lethal he was last season under his tutelage. I do feel that the interview about not shooting from certain positions has been somewhat blown out of proportion in a classic GG kind of way.

They're two different types of players. PEH is at his best when pushed forward and can chase players and close down. He is not a defensive midfielder, he hasn't got the instincts for it, is not disciplined enough, and loses concentration letting players run off him into the box. Skipp is better in those areas.

It's a good point, both Son and Kane had great seasons last season in 3-4-3...but I think teams wised up to us though, and as such it has been far, far tougher this.

They've not wised up. Son has said himself that he was told to play a different role, and even discouraged from shooting from distance! Incredible stuff really, telling players to stop doing what they're best at!

Is that true? He was discouraged from shooting from distance in spite of being the golden boot winner (joint) last season?! If so, that’s completely ridiculous and total mismanagement of him and his talent.

I watched his 100 goals compilation on Sky the other day so many of his goals were rockets from long distance, he is one of the best
 
I hope Davies and Lenglet are back, Our chances feel like slim to none at the minute even with them back but at least it gives us a slight hope
 
If Son starts, we lose. Probably goes for Lloris, Porro and Perisic too.

Forster
Romero... Dier... Lenglet
Emerson... Sarr... Skipp... Davies
Hojbjerg
Kane... Richarlison
If Emerson isn't fit, Tanganga

no Nono no… they are either shît or the greatest ever, no middle ground or nuance at all allowed in here.

Yes, there is an interview (Spurs on pitch team) post the last game that he had scored from outside the box

Basic summary, he feels comfortable/capable shooting from those outside box/diagonal from goal positions but tactically was instructed not to shoot, not to leverage the wide areas (leave that to WBs) and basically find himself central (hence why he ends up with his back to goal/defenders all the time).

Yes, it's fudging criminal mismanagement
