OMT ***Tottenham Hotspur v Swansea City ***

Exceptionally poor games for Alli and Eriksen... the usual poor display from Sissoko... 6 defenders versus 11 defenders... pffft this is awful.

Trippier is totally pointless on the left, we have completely negated our left side attack, nothing whatsoever from that side = zero goals

Disagree on Sissoko. I dont understand why Trippier was left on!!
 
I would almost bank on it. For me, Son should have stayed on and Deli should have come off. I hope he starts against the Spammers from the bench. He needs a good kick up the arse.

I agree, I think the subs today actually made us worse, Trippier didn't have the confidence on his left foot to push on and Son was the only one making them turn towards their own goal.
 
Should haves:
  • A pen for a trip on Aurier
  • A headed goal from Alli, almost an assist from Llorente
  • Less defensive players on the pitch. Game like this, Dier is a passenger, until he made runs after about 75.
  • Used the flanks better. Didn't work the ball to the side of the box enough - from where we could put the ball across the goal or pick out a man.
  • Crossed the ball better. Almost every cross was weak and short.
  • Used our set pieces better.

We had chances, but didn't get the balance right between attack and defence. Effectively 4 CBs on the pitch and we lacked a little guile in midfield. Dier needed to attack more from the beginning. But not a terrible performance. Missed one goal.
 
Trippier killed the left wing in 2H. No drive - nothing. He couldnt stretch Swansea so Spurs had to keep attacking through the right. Dont understand why we didnt get Davies on for Trippier.

EXTREMELY tinkled off with that!!

That's Pochettino call.
 
Pochettino bought me one of the best games I've seen fore a while on Wednesday!

Managers got to take the blame today

Playing 3 CB and a holding DM against a team with one up and no real attacking defence is a no no.

We had CBs joining in the attack instead of forwards.

Should have tried something different today - even if it was 442

All means start like we did, but we should have changed it at HT

I agree. Swans did have 2 upfront incidentally. Would have liked to have seen someone like Edwards in a game like this. Fresh, get the ball to his feet around the box...
 
Agree. That killed the balance of the team. Trippier kept passing the ball back. I dont think he even tries to beat the defender when he plays on the right either!! The experiment should be over.

It was a dreadfully setup team.
Unless Davies was injured, Pochettino was inept!
 
Poch selection questionable. Needed to keep an left footer at left wing back. Poor showing today. Very poor
Sissoko had a decent game first half, then moved him to RWB which was stupid move. To compound that he put Trippier left wing back. No need to play players out of position, if you wanted to add fresh impetus on the wings then fine - bring on Aurier and Davies. Shouldn't of taken off Son who looked our livliest forward player. Poor performance from Poch for me....
