    Richarlison

    Compared to his peers Richy is particularly poor at holding, controlling and moving the ball on. This is why I'm saying you are lowering your standards or just have lower standards for what is expected from a forward. Richy had a very good game against City terms of holding the ball but it is...

    But it would be the same if Johnson is the man in the point as you described. Where is the 3rd midfielder? That's the role Johnson would be playing. You want ball progresses sure, those are two outside, how are we getting the ball to them? Let's assume Palhinha is playing then the balance of...

    Sure but we have to be practical. If he's playing as a shadow striker and we have Simons on the left and Kudus on the right it means we have to have one less player in the middle as Johnson is taking that space. There are a finite number of players we are able to play. If Johnson plays someone...

    Mathys Tel

    I disagree because I've never seen this, I feel like you're seeing the template and hoping and assuming he will do well in those situations consistently because as it stands the few times he has been in those situations (and the small number might say something about his quality in the first...

    What situations is he very good in? I have failed to see any.

    Richarlison

    He mostly does poorly in those situations, not sometimes. The few times he actually stays on his feet are the exception to the rule. Again, your standards are too low in this regard. Support our players sure but not to the detrimental of the side.

    I'd happily take Muani, he's not perfect but he does everything we need and to a higher and more consistent standard than the current options we have. I think Frank has similar ideas regarding squad depth and quality so I think given time the technical quality profile of the squad will improve.

    Brennan Johnson

    It doesn't make any difference. If Kudus was a LW we would still see the same performance form Johnson on the right. Have you forgotten how he actually plays during gameplay on the right or have you been blinded by the goal numbers?

    This is why when ppl say we have a very good side I just don't understand what they are watching. It's functional, it will get some good results but plenty of poor ones because the basic technical level is lacking in too many areas.

    Xavi Simons

    We chose a functional midfield, in retrospect a poor choice but then we actually don't have much in terms of options or variety until Xavi comes into the side and even then as I've said a million times one creative player isn't enough. We need depth of Simons and I guess you could say that's...

    Aye, now imagine that game with just a 2 man midfield? 😂😂😂 This is why rather than doubling down on the spread of poor technique in the team we need to lessen it. We don't need to shoehorn Johnson in the team, we need to get him bloody out of it, same with Richy. I think at times a lot here...

    Xavi Simons

    To an extent I can see him helping but when Richy and Johnson are just constantly giving the ball ball back to the opposition there's only so much any AM can actually do. In an offensive sense the main issue was our inability to keep the ball in the opposition half and build the play. It was...

    Lookman linked????

    So play a 2 man midfield of say Paulinho and Bent/Sarr just to get Johnson on the pitch? You must want to see our midfield dominated every game with no good ball progression. 😂😂 Johnson is a passenger and anytime we play him it will be like playing with a man down unless we fashion a chance for...

    I'm not picking on you but "very good" wth! Solanke isn't even very good, Kudus might be, but Tel! You're calling very good already? Based on what? What has he ever done at Spurs (or even Bayern if we are honest) that puts him into the category of a very good player? I get the idea of...

    Brennan Johnson

    This is Spurs, this is what we do. It's rare we address key areas with considered additions in a timely fashion. It's never been and likely under this leader never will be our MO.

    Dominic Solanke

    I struggle to imagine a scenario where we are going to buy a better striker than Solanke today. Not because I think Solanke is irreplaceable but if we haven't already been having this conversation to find someone today and to be able and willing to pay what ever feels is required, I just can't...

    Richarlison

    We shouldn't expect him to be able to stay on his feet? We shouldn't expect him to win the occasional ball under pressure? This is like saying we shouldn't expect Vicario to be able to catch a ball under pressure, or deal with crosses. These are the basics, they are the elements that contribute...

    Brennan Johnson

    Control it maybe? Not have it bounce 10nyards almost every time it was passed to him? Maybe keep it for a few seconds and help progress the possession? Why couldn't he go on a mazy run? Why are our standards so low for him? Why are we so ready to accept not even basic standards for this player...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v AFC Bournemouth ***

    Kane had that ability to make space for himself to shoot and had incredible accuracy along with that shot. We ain't getting another Kane tbh so we just have to let that go. If we can improve the rest of the attackers we might reach the same overall quality or even better than when we had Kane...
