OMT - Spurs v Arsenal

[90291Spur]

Serge picked out the keeper nicely there. That’s a skill, being so consistent.

 

[DeanoAustin]

I’d take Aurier off and play with 10 men.

His mate on the other side is having his worst game since Anfield a few years ago when he was embarrassingly bad. Davies has been atrocious.

 

[Benny_Lad]

It shocks me how some players have clear possession of a ball coming to them and it just pops off them back to the opposition.

 

[Legohamster]

I notice this also. I'm just not sure if it's a permanent change in his physical capabilities or just a slow return to peak fitness? [emoji848]

he always gets back quickly then takes an age to get back to match sharpness

can we sub both full backs

 

[Bishop]

One thing I'm enjoying about this system today is getting Sissoko as far away from the middle of the pitch is a godsend for pass and movement. Instead GLC sits in and our players know to make the runs into space because he can and will play the pass.

It also gives Winks a quick release option and the less time he has to think about playing it backwards the better.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

We are playing 4-4-2 aren’t we?

 

[90291Spur]

This half press we are doing is rubbish.

was just about to say the same thing. GLC and Winks can actually see and play a pass. Sissoko just needs to stay wide and let the balls bounce off his feet to somebody else nearby

 

[MKSpur]

So should have released Kane there

 

[elyid]

Weirdly no attempt by Kane to make a sprint through the middle there.

And tuck in to add some muscle without the ball.

 

[Benny_Lad]

Players in possession in dangerous areas and other players just standing looking at them. It’s under 7’s stuff.

PASS THE fudging BALL MOURA

stop playing like a 10 year old

 

[VolSpur]

GLC just telling Pepe to get in the weight room gotta love it

 

[Bishop]

We are playing 4-4-2 aren’t we?

Nominally I'd say, because on the right Aurier is still the furthest forward attacker and we have no one really stationed out on the left at all. Maybe more of a 4222 [emoji848]

Just pull him off.

 

[DeanoAustin]

We’ve been decent. Most players ok. GLC has been good. Sissoko laughable at times but okay on the whole. Aurier embarrassing at times, good at other times. Davies has been the worst player on the pitch. Comfortably.

 

[Benny_Lad]

That cross from Aurier was actually one of his better ones. Same old problem though, forwards just standing still in the box. If anyone had gambled in front of Luiz they’d have had a great chance. It’s movement again.

Although Lucas on the left for a while there. Kind of a wonky 4-4-2 with Sissoko tucking in.

We've played OK, just need a bit more decisiveness up-front.

 

[MKSpur]

Feared the worst going behind. Think the system is working better but some of the defensive personnel remain a hindrance. With a couple on bookings use if subs could be crucial, think Bergwijn could make a difference in the final 3rd and Ndombele could help us in the last 20. Maybe Tanganga as a right back and Sessegnon as a left back at some point too?
