***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Saudi Sportswashing Machine OMT***

[jrh]

Saudi Sportswashing Machine have been a lesson on how to defend as a unit. Dare I say it, Ange could take some notes

 

[Jordinho]

Every remaining copy of this kit needs to be burnt in some kind of ceremony.

 

[Jurgen the German]

I feel like all our forwards are out of form.

Madison
Son
Kulu
Werner is Werner
Biss

Nobody pulling up any trees at all.

Our forwards are as good as the top 3 according to many on here

 

[paxtonwolf]

I could have been looking over my shoulder at the wrong United with regards to finishing 5th

We simply don't defend as a unit. It's all random, and rely on VdV's pace.

 

[fernadez]

Feel like our dm needs to be pacy with a huge engine covering all the break aways. Maybe Sarr should ger a chance there.

For me that's not a tactic in the same way as having VDV cover the defence. It should be a extra layer of cover not the entire defensive system.

Every defensive action shouldn't be a sprint backwards, 1v1 battles over the pitch.

Son is, Werner is good enough as an option. Johnson could become anything. Richie was in great form before his injury but the jury is still out.

yep, and when he has days like today we are fudged

was never sustainable

 

[jrh]

Defence just opens the gates again. What the fudge are they doing? Where is Royal going?!?!

 

[scaramanga]

Really …
I think your forgetting his injuries and who he played for
I wasn’t sure he was worth what they paid, but I was wrong
He does everything out CFs don’t do and still scores

Real Sociedad?

They're currently 6th in a league full of brickmunchers.

 

[jrh]

And a goal from free header 15

 

[alekaras]

Hate to say it, but we played better when half the team was injured than we have been now that everyone is back. I don't know why we have regressed like this.

 

[Mikey10]

Said when we signed Werner that it was a mediocre move. Nice bloke, but he’s a poor, poor player.

 

[nelto]

Incredible. How do you defend like that ffs

 

[scaramanga]

If players like Isak are poor, what does that make Richarlison? I'd swap in a heartbeat.

That says more about Richarlison than it does Isak.

 

[Jordinho]

Maybe now we can start taking defensive corners seriously? That was well deserved.

 

[Mcfee]

Yes results and performances have been poor for a while, yes its only season one, yes we have players out and some that are not a perfect fit.

But for me, I think I can see what the philosophy is, and I don't like it, I don't want us to play that way, I don't want football like basketball, I want control, I want clean sheets, I want us to be mean.

I agree with you but the consensus after the Mourinho / Conte era was that we needed to return to our “DNA”.

 

[glasgowspur]

Honestly, why don't we do that from corners?

 

[Dicko]

Haha. They should have had 5 from corners!

 

[Mikey10]

Udogie there…Jesus wept.
