**** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham United ****

Scored 3 times în the last 5 matches, again that is not out of form. Maybe he is not at PEAK form, but out of form strikers don't score 3 goals în 5 matches.
He is ruining lots of attacks. If you are happy with that knock yourself out.

Richy had something like 9 in 10 before his injury and contributed more in all round play.

He scored the winner 2 days ago, how can you say out of form?
one doesn't necessarily rule out the other. If Kane suddenly scored a free kick, it would not make him a good free kick taker. I'd have to say I agree that Son either looks out of form, or maybe a little worn out. Can't be far off he's played every minute this season excluding a few last minute substitutions while having a very high energy play style. Had he played for Pool or City, all papers would be filled with articles about how he has played too much.
 
another game where we lack the penetration to really deal with a deep defensive team. The Kane comments are fair enough, if I were Ange I'd be getting myself a new centre forward for my birthday. Or June 1st, whichever comes first.

Pretty much all of Richy’s goals were tap ins aside from the two he got against Everton. Son didn’t have a good game tonight but it’s a bit OTT to say he’s ruining attacks especially when Richy was missing chances for fun earlier in the season.
 
You lot like to say Wet Spam are sh.it

But a front 3 of Kudus, Antonio and Bowen is good, and Paqueta is good feeding them. And the duo of Soucek and Ward-Prowse make Spam lethal from set pieces.

But we should have somehow got at / exposed their centre backs and keeper as being old / useless, yet they had a pretty easy game really.

Yes, and how many tap ins were on offer tonight from several great crosses put in? Richy would have been looking to get on the end of them and instead we had Son and Werner hanging back.

likely a balance of fitness of Richi as well as giving space to those players playing well. Given our goal came from two players featuring because of exactly that, I guess its fair to say Ange was right. I would have brought Richi on sooner though.

Son is ruining attacks in games like this
He literally is giving the ball away rather than holding it
The way we need him to play is not the way he can

On balance his overall contribution to the team is greater than Richarlison’s. I can’t believe it’s even a debate at this point.
 
Sometimes you just gotta admit that the Premier League is a tough, highly competitive place to play. West Ham set up to make it tough for us to play our usually energetic, dynamic style. Really did well to stifle our wide play in their final third. And did we have a Plan B and the players to make it work? Did we fcuk.

Remember when we had that rowdy, schit-disturbing giraffe name Llorente? Or long, tall, super-model attracting Peter Crouch? Two players who could make a change in style work. Long and tall but could play the ball. We also lack the sort of set-piece specialist like West Ham have in JW-P.

We don't have that now. Our plan A is to pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, then walk it into the goal or smack it home from close range. Our attacking roster is full of all-too-similar nimble, skillful mid-size units. We don't have a Plan B because Ange has not chosen to add players who would make such a tactical change viable. It's making easier for opponents to set up their defensive tactics.

At some point, Ange might want to consider adding a blunderbuss or shotgun to his rack of sniper rifles.

You have to be in the right place at yhe right times to get those tap ins - how many times tonight did we get in to decent build up positions only to have no one in the middle to take advantage? As CF that's Sons job primarily in this team and he doesn't do it enough
