OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v Brentford FC ***

[Robbo]

Borefest. We are so turgid up front. Seriously worriwd about Kudus. Started so brightly, now he can barely keep hold of the ball and never tracks back.

Defensively much more solid (apart from the few regular brain farts), which is a positive. Another clean sheet, more now this season than all of last.

I think it’s good that we have become much better defensively, but we need to build on that with offensive play to match. Then we might not be so boring either.

 

[Baleforce]

To make that tackle. No one else bothered to make an effort to get the ball!

I'm not questioning the tackle, just why he had got ahead of the play in the first place.

He was massively out of defensive position.

 

[DubSpur]

I will remember nothing from that game

What game?

 

[Mrs Vert]

City drew as well. fudge.

thanks city

He was on a few occasions

Frank still deserves the season but I don’t see this being successful even if everyone comes back. It’s too risk averse.

Took off a defensive midfielder and replaced with a forward with 10 minutes to go…?

It’s the quality of the creative and attacking players is the problem.

I will remember nothing from that game

Progress. I’m still struggling to blank some of last season’s horror shows from my mind.

All games tonight ended in draws... so maybe a party hangover

Yup, looks like everyone was as worse for wear today as we were for the Brighton game at the end of last season!

Horrendous bunch

Where is the intent to get them the ball?
How do we conspire to give them chances?

 

[Lilbaz]

At least we won on xG

Yet the bbc has it 0.83-1.01. Who to believe.

I’ll give him credit for that. But the style is risk averse. It’s always gonna rely on moments of individual brilliance.

Must be nice to have a good home record…

How was it? Seen the 0-0 but sounds like we created next to nothing

Be thankful that you missed it. But we didnt lose

 

[NorwegianSpursFan]

We desperately need someone who can controll and pass from midfield. We have no controll of the games at all. Hoofing it to Kudus and hoping he can controll it while fighting three oposition players isn’t working.

Or set pieces. Horrible style to watch and can only put up with it if it's winning football

I lost count of the amount of times our midfield players misplaced simple passes and through balls that would have released our forwards (although, granted, Richarlison or Muani would probably have tripped over the ball).

Dreadful game of ball. Really fudging putrid.

Positive is that it’s 4 points from 6 and two clean sheets. Defensively, we were very good. Thought the keeper and 4 defenders were very good. Romero gets stick but he did defend very well several times.

Bentancur was the best player on the park for me.

Just don’t see this style working out for us. Can’t see any real attacking threat outside of individual moments of brilliance and even if we get everyone back, you can’t rely on that. Watching Porro launch 50 yard hit and hopes is soul destroying given how good he is on the ball.

Frank still deserves the season but I don’t see this being successful even if everyone comes back. It’s too risk averse.

Did you notice who was on the bench for us? We're so thin in attack. Add in fresh legs of Solanke, Maddison, and Kulu and you think that this sytle won't work for us?

Having taken off our best creative attacking player 20 mins earlier in a not-even like for like sub. Please. You'll have to do better than tell he showed intent to win that game; steal it maybe.

It’s the quality of the creative and attacking players is the problem.

Tell me who would make a difference in this horrific style and setup? You can't say Harry Kane

Progress. I’m still struggling to blank some of last season’s horror shows from my mind.

Please stop using last season as some sort of mitigation for this rubbish: unless we really want to perpetuate that conversation???

Can I ask, would you prefer to watch us play more expansive football and lose?

 

[Mcfee]

"Im expecting no less than X points over Christmas"

Here are 4 from 2 games

"Not like that"

To be fair that’s probably 3 more points than I was expecting.

Won’t change until we improve the quality of our squad, I’m afraid.
