*** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa ***

[AdamB]

Lovely pictures of the Villa manager and his security guy.

very good!

How you mix up Kane and Ndombele?

 

[paxtonwolf]

I watch Spurs quite unemotional now, or certainly less emotionally than before.

I always want us to win, but cant see us progressing whist Mourinho is here

Same here, but a lot of that is down to the blood pressure tablets I'm on...

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Vinnys hold up play has to improve

 

[AdamB]

A Man C - Leicester cup final would mean that 6th gets into the Europa wouldnt it?

 

[Bishop]

I don’t see how the manager can be blamed for awful passing tbh

Then we score a goal like that

we only look in trouble when Sanchez is in the picture.

Yes you can. Certain managers get teams playing football in certain ways. They definitely impart their own playing style on a team and that includes the passing shape and system obviously influenced by the quality of the players themselves but it's certainly in the managers purview.

 

[Kandi1977]

Wow Ndombele! The situations he gets himself out of is incredible!

Don’t do it to yourself

 

[AdamB]

Don’t do it to yourself

Trying to work out how we can achieve:

1) European football next season (which isnt the new Europa conference thing)
2) Mourinho getting sacked

Ideal outcome for the seaosn from here....

 

[MKSpur]

Lloris’ kicking is a disgrace

 

[paxtonwolf]

What a cr@p pass from Vinny, after a stonking tackle from Rodon

 

[Kandi1977]

Is it just me or does Reguilon look absolutely knackered?

 

[Bishop]

I just want to point out for anyone watching who thinks we press, just look at our default reaction to losing the ball. It's fall back into shape and challenge when the his certain areas.

There isn't anything inherently wrong with that but I just recall all the convos post Arsenal with all the talk of us not being a mid and low block side and trying to press.

 

[Pirate55]

We could do with NDombele further forward.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Free corner. Make it count

 

[AdamB]

We could do with NDombele further forward.

No, he's a CM

In a ways Legohamster is correct because Mourinhos approach is to not train attacking movement/patterns and leaves this to the players themselves, so if the attacking play is poor then people who are happy with that approach can justify blaming the players as it's their responsibility

 

[StephenH]

Lol went to the Loo came back we’d scored and it was Vinni. I’d have hooked him and brought Dele on

These are easy passes being mucked up.

or holding the ball too long
