***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Brentford OMT***

[SpurMeUp]

We need to focus on our game, play fast passes, but keep cool.

They should have had a second yellow when stopping the free kick. Was a soft foul for their goal. VAR wouldnt have overruled a goal. We need to wind up Moupe and give him a taste of his own medicine. He's on a yellow too.

We need to get another body in the box, too often it is just Richarlison.

All credit to Brentford, then have draged us down to their scappy level. Next half we have to assert ourselves, and slot the ball into the net.

 

[jrh]

the mentality of this group (any group in a Spurs kit to be fair), is continually dreadful

Worrying how easily they've been able to out fight and out 'mongrel' us. They're just more fierce, for lack of a better word

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Wide attackers not good enough again. Midfield has had some ok possession but when the pass has been it's been unable or just wayward.

It’s been really poor passing form Maddison and Bentacur
And our mentality to get into scraps is dumb

 

[Kandi1977]

Taking a shot would be nice

I don't understand why we always try to pass our way into the goal in the most crowded of crowded areas. Take a fudging shot ffs!

 

[glasgowspur]

Not sure anyone played well in that half.

Skipp

 

[Bullet]

Frustrating in every way.

That felt trying to p i s s through an igloo for 50 minutes. All you get is a cold c o c k.

 

[Bishop]

He might have pace, but sadly looks like Werner cant cross or pass

Or shoot but this isn't a surprise we already know what kind of player he is.

 

[paxtonwolf]

we are fudging brick

On that display you wonder how we are 5th and a win off 4th, gone backwards. Hopefully harsh words at HT and an instant response after the break

 

[Mcfee]

the mentality of this group (any group in a Spurs kit to be fair), is continually dreadful

But enough about us…
How are the team doing?

 

[Daisuk]

Frustrating half. Maupay can fudging do one. We're going down the same blind alleys time and again, and look quite shaky whenever Brentford counter. Skipp has been our best man in this half. Bentancur and Maddison shadows of the players they really are. We need a bit of creative spark.

 

[Bishop]

Need natural width, same foot as the side they're playing on. Just cutting back into defenders every time.

Stick Porro right wing

You think bombing crosses in against their 3 CBs and 8 man defence is going to work?

 

[Baleforce]

On that display you wonder how we are 5th and a win off 4th, gone backwards. Hopefully harsh words at HT and an instant response after the break

I don't, every club in the division is brick

 

[Goose]

they're doing the job an away team needs to do, winding up the home team, wasting time and pressing well. Even if Son was playing, it wouldnt make a big difference. We look clueless against teams that do this!

 

[paxtonwolf]

Didnt they beat us at home last season too

 

[Robbo]

Can we stop trying to play within the width of the box and go wide

We will never score if we insist on trying clever flicks into their extremely crowded area. Can't believe why we are so narrow in attack. Poor half.

 

[Legohamster]

Trying to play balls through the eye of the needle in a packed box, ridiculous

If we going to continue to do so, we may as well push someone else up top and central.

 

[IulianSteaua]

Richarlison the only one that's fighting

 

[spurspinter1]

This is probably a good game to have a terrible stream for, silver linings and all that.

Seems like we're just aching to get a silly red card, the emotional maturity on display is awful, Kulu's yellow was beyond silly.

Bad half. Maddison looks all sorts of wound up, Ange has got to remind the players that they're a lot better than Brentford's lot and to actually play some football....

 

[Dicko]

Maupay has just moved above Matty Cash on the hit list

 

[AjaxDeSuperYids]

Going wide obviously important against a low block but don’t underestimate shooting from distance.

The closest we came was a Richy long shot and even if it doesn’t go in there is deflections and rebounds to be had.

With this in mind I would take Skipp off for Johnson and put Kulu inside. He and Madders can carry it forward, get shots away and play the ball out wide to Werner and Johnson.
