*** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Manchester United ***

It looks to me as though Richy is often just going through the motions. I think Pro footballers call it 'ghosting'. Where they run in behind as they see the ball going short, go short when the see the ball going in behind. Don't really properly challenge for headers, run a tiny bit late to a player so they don't have to put in a challenge. He certainly isn't worth his place in the team at present, lucky deflected goal or not.

Regarding your comment about Udogie. I think the point is doubled down when we don't play a winger on the left. If we're going to play Spence at right back then we at least have to pair him with Odobert, otherwise the pitch becomes way too narrow when we have the ball and it is really easy for the opposition to defend that.

I called it hiding in plain sight
Carragher showed in his Monday night video that we had players marking the opposition when we had the ball

Hmm, was 2-2 a fair result overall?

I watched the extended and it looks so IMO

Did you see the city game today?
Their keeper when pool had the one effort was left wanting too, like he was last week from a corner
And people say he is the best around

I think we've gpt a fasir bit more evidence on Vicario's weaknesses than on Donnarruma's - and the latter arrived in the PL a few weeks ago, not a number of years ago.

I like Vicario in lots of ways, but if we are going to challenge for things consistently we will need to upgrade imo.

I think we have far greater priorities
Everytime a goal goes in the name game starts with one player or another
In reality the vast vast majority of goals come via mistakes and we prosper from that too
Comers are the biggest result of mistakes because it’s the only way to score them and even the very, very best concede them for that very reason

Could not agree more

I think the need to upgrade in that position is becoming imperative. Vic is a great shot-stopper, but it’s just not enough when his distribution, command of his area, and his ability to keep a cool head, are all areas of significant weakness.

I think Vic is decent, but agree with your points. All goalkeepers have mistakes in them though, we're not going to find a perfect replacement. Who would that be? Even someone like Donnarumma and Alison fudge up from time to time. Not saying we shouldn't upgrade, I'm just not sure there are anyone out there without any obvious weaknesses to their game.

Best to look at the maths and see what keeper gains points vs loses them
