Yep and we already have a player that runs, Moura and he is more output than him, which isn't saying much

Yet @scaramanga @djp82 Traore was the difference maker. Closest we had was Poro. Almost scored twice. No doubt Poro is less of an enigma than Traore and more stable/consistent, but he doesn’t have the pace to get around and behind a fullback either.
A little unfortunate today. Kane, Son, Poro all could have scored with greater precision.
We are missing Conte. They had a proper manager gee them up at half time and rebalance their side, we came up without any fresh ideas and faded.

Was Wolves’ manager one of the multitude of managers who turned us down that Summer when we eventually ended up with the laughable appointment of Nuno?

Arthur Rowe
No
But he is a very good manager
Had a blip at Madrid .. not new
But he is a smart guy

The team who see things are not working makes 5 changes, wins. What a shock!
The team who see things are not working, dilly dallies, leaves it too late, loses. Well I never!

Although it was not the world beating display I predicted. I did have a feeling Traore would make the difference today, it was always on the cards with Tottenham rolling into town

Dont fool yourself, Conte may not be there but he is still pulling the strings. Time for us to re calibrate. Get a young dynamic progressive manager. Stop buying overpriced and overrated foreign players. All our big buys have been flops - Soldado, NDombele, Sanchez, LoCelso, Richalison and now Porro. How much money have we wasted on that lot. Plus useless managers from Mourinho, Nunes and Conte. Boring defensive managers . Not our style at all. Get rid and start again with totally new coaching and recruitment teams.
Traore had acres of space to run into, how do you think he'd have fared against a low block.
Players like that always look good in teams for whom a draw is often a good result.

Could see PEH fading badly - and after 3 games in a week, that is no surprise. Sarr on for PEH on the hour and I think we’d have drawn or won.

Did we get to the line and cut the ball back once? Maybe once Perisic did, but we almost never got in behind them. We do lack a bit of pace to get around and behind the defence. If you have a player capable of beating the fullback, you can put men in the box to attack the pull-back.
Anyway this is all speculation. What we know is we didn’t have a difference maker today, they did. That’s what won them the points.
re the above comments about Conte being gone on Thurs or next Sun: no chance he'd be fired before the summer
more generally: we're still in the process of the rebuild so results like today will happen (they'll also happen to teams going for the title). We still need a new GK, two CBs, Udogie to arrive and another creative option. We'll get most of those this summer I suspect so whoever is manager next season should have a decent squad to run with. In the meantime we'll get some poor results
All that said, I agree with the comments about lack of subs and the bizarre continued selections of Son and Perisic

Likewise. The hassle of finding a stream and watching a depressing 90 mins wasnt worth it.
I have two daughters and spending time with them is more valuable, particularly given I'm away with work next week
Also means that I'm not grouchy this evening having got frustrated watching Spurs
How do you get behind a defence that doesn't come out? Pace won't do it.
Players that are really good at getting the ball past deep defences:
Modric, De Bruyne, Dembele, etc.
None of them are remotely similar to Traore in style.
Edit:
Yes we put the ball in from positions like that at least as often as they did, but it's an incredibly low return method of creating chances. Last resort of a team out of good ideas, see Moyes at Utd.

He gets to the byline as in a foot race there are few better, but let's be real here, 2 goals and 1 assist tell you that he is absolutely tosh there after.
I pity the fool that would wanna have him at Spurs
