The Case for the Attacking play

Seems that the only way this team of mid-table cloggers can score a reasonable amount of PL goals is to over-commit numbers in attack…

This is why Ange played the system he did. Or maybe not why, but I do think it's part of why he couldn't or wouldn't adjust it because he knew how fudging abject out players are and the lack of final 3rd quality we have. Even under Ange's suicide attack we didn't really create much of quality for the obvious reasons.

I'm tired of being on repeat but me and @Jurgen the German is remember specifically have been saying for at least 3 years our attack is fudging dog brick.
 
Mbuemo + Cunha > Muani?!

So nice to see us playing on the front foot again today, if only we’d capitalised upon this glorious chance and gone 2-0 up then perhaps we’d have 3 points in the bag right now…

I mean, yes, he could've passed to Muani, yes, he should've just put it in, but he was unlucky in hitting the post and HOW does a striker allow themselves to be flat-footed like Muani was for the rebound?!!!!!!
 
i was glad to see that the decision to take off richy paid off - we retained possession so much better without him, and even could link up play.

now i am disappointed to see that our next weakest link in attack is muani.
are they related ? and how does our fancy football analytics people favour these type of attackers ?

An interesting parallel drawn by Pitt-Brooke…

I think your dislike of Muani and his (lack of) effort is clouding your reading of the situation. The ball rebounded off the post, how is supposed to know that it was A. Going to hit the post and B. Know which direction it was going to rebound in. We see strikers get tricked by deflections rebounds all the time...

I am one of the few people here who repeatedly stated there was a player in there, so I don't have a 'dislike' of Muani beyond thinking he has been poor the past few games.

He was not 'on his toes' and is somewhat 'flat' and watching as the shot goes in. Perhaps I just have a different reading of the situation, no more or less 'accurate' than yours.
 
We don't want attacking play, we want pragmatic football, lots of clean sheets. Give the fans risk free games, no fancy Danny stuff. Get more Samways, Fruend, Leonhardsen, don't want no skill just grind out wins.

We already lack skill and as it shown this season that doesn't work.

Perfect, most fans say they want attacking play, they don't they want to win. Play good attacking football and lose is terrible, playing drab ground out wins is great, you can grudgingly wallow in a victory and moan about how poor we were.
We have been poor in terms of progressive attacking play for sometime and joined the system game like most other teams. I find it boring, even when winning with "the special needs one" I walked away from games saying that was a hard watch.
It's not the Tottenham way. I find football a hard watch no matter who is playing, most teams aim is not to lose, cheating is an acceptable part of the game, referees are awful and the implementation of VAR is incompetent and lacking integrity. Nobody in the media has the balls to mention it and just laugh and joke with the hasbeens who can't get a job in football while telling us how great it all is.
