***Tottenham Hotspur v Everton*** - OMT

Not loving that team. Starting Johnson means we are basically a man down before a ball has been kicked. Would have liked something different in midfield too. Hopefully Muani is fully fit and will show us what he can do.
 
Big game for Johnson. Frank has shown by his selections that Johnson scoring goals alone isn't a big enough of a contribution to merit a place in the team. So be interesting to see what he serves up.

Feel pretty soon, it'll have to be Richy or Xavi out there, and just grin an bear it. At least Richy will bring some presence to the position.

Hmm, I'm not optimistic.

The midfield duo of Palhinha and Bentancur refuse to pass forwards.
Thus Xavi is entirely isolated and won't get a sniff.
Thus we need the flanks to prosper, and we have Spence and Johnson down the left, dear me!

We'll have to play a massive wonky to maybe get Johnson up front with Muani and Xavi out left, rather than being an island. Hmm.

It is interesting how everyone describes our stodgy, slow, uninspired performances as turgid.

I'm confused by the continuation of Bent & Paul.
We always look more dangerous with Berg or Sarr.
CF really is a shoot out to keep the role right now. Unfortunately we shoot more like a road runner cartoon than a western
 
I'm confused by the continuation of Bent & Paul.
In the press conference Frank is asked about the Berg/Sarr/Gray midfield; he says he is very happy with "Joao and Rodri" and they do the things he is looking for but perhaps others are looking for other things, then he talks about the make up of the front 4. So it seems he sees the front 4 as a very separate entity to the midfield block.
He also says we did not have the right intensity against Villa and that he is definitely sure we will have the right intensity vs Everton, then says he wants to play with high intensity and aggressiveness and physicality.

Then when asked 5 minutes ago on Spurs Play he said he is 1000% sure we will play with the right intensity.

So these are his main aims right now. After that, we can play free-flowing football.

11 minutes ish

What a dilemma!
Should I watch Spurs now, knowing the last 2 matches have been well below par or should I continue watching el classico, which is a really good watch so far?
