***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR VS swansea OFFICIAL OMT**********

well thoughts from the half:

We're bossing it in the middle. Could see one of their players getting sent off on 2 yellows due to frustration with being bossed around all day.

Dembele could be a bit more involved. He's not been bad mind you, just heard Paul's name called a bit more so far.

Soldado's not going to get many touches with this set up.. just goals.

We're using the width of the pitch much better today.

Walker's through balls are woefull at times haha

We're creating plenty of chances, a goal will come (maybe 4)

aaand big ups to Daws for hitting a sweet throughball for one of our better chances.

in what ****ing world was that not a penalty

Also, is Walker cramping Townsend's style a bit? Seems to be either too close or beyond him, also his passing is not up to scratch today.

Playing fairly well but not finishing the chances, Paulinho guilty of average finishing and speculative shots wasting possession, moving very well with the ball though.

no not a bit...A LOT. The guy doesn't know when to pass, he doesn't know when to make a run and create space, his decision making is diabolical. Townsend has made some very smart runs but Walker doesn't see it (and when he does he delivers a ****e ball) When Townsend goes inside Walker rarely overlaps on the outside (the one time he did we looked very dangerous). It's so frustrating to watch.

It is incredible isn't it? I don't want to bash players in an OMT, especially ones that aren't playing but his movement is excellent, he knows when he's offside and actually bothers following up after someone takes a long shot. I'd almost forgotten what that was like.

Haha, yeah didn't want to mention any names! I'm enjoying watching his movement. Nice little one-touch passing and dragging players away.

Don't see why it would be. It may not have resulted in goals but under AVB, I don't think we've ever been as good at home against a lesser team. I'm so happy because it seems that the problem from last season, that the football would be terrible and we couldn't control a game against a lesser placed team at home, seems to have gone.

We never once sustained a performance like that for an entire half against a lesser team last season. I'm so glad we look like we will be able to this season. We will be fine without Bale. Chadli and Townsend are good squad options, but I think we need world class players in those positions and we will be set. Also, maybe a left back and a Defoe replacement.

But that said, Rose, Townsend and Chadli have all done a great job today. Our movement is excellent. The shape looks fantastic. This is the Paulinho that looks like he is worth 17M too. He actually has a lot of skill in tight spaces and a burst of acceleration which I didn't expect. Capoue too has a passing range that is lovely to see.

Basically we look a lot like how Liverpool are playing but better defensively.
 
Anyway we have the makings of a good team and there's definitely a lot to be excited about (providing we make the right signings). Regarding todays game? i think we're going to lose to a sucker punch goal (probably set piece).
 
Over at White Hart Lane, Etienne Capoue has seen lots of the ball making 39 successful passes, more than any other player.
 
Wow I just cant believe I am watching a team this good, all I can see is pure quality in Paulinhio, we look like a well oiled machine at times and has been great to see what we are becoming.

It's been half a game?
 
O/T: So Kompany is out for Emirates Marketing Project and they had to play midfielder Javi Garcia at centre back. Seems like a thin squad, what happened?
 
Walker's done a lot wrong but he's also been a big threat. The cross for the post. The cut back for Dembele. He isn't that intelligent but his technique and pace make him an asset. I do think he limits the wingers in front of him though.

These sweeping statements really bug me - Walker against Palace was threading a lot of balls through to Lennon, well weighted. He's also almost set up Dembele for a goal and has been a good option.

Has it all come together so far? No. But if we keep up like this, it will. We look like we can control the game and take it to Swansea. Much improved compared to last year.

All that based on 45 minutes of our first home game of the season. The rest of your post i agree with but the line at the end? we look and play nothing like Liverpool imo.

I think they've got a couple of injuries at CB. Pretty sure they've lost that Nastajic chap for a few weeks.
