*** OMT: Mighty Spurs vs Scum ***

[JerusalemMan]

This is painful

 

[Bedfordspurs]

There appears to be no REAL urgency in our play

That’s the issue

 

[GlennGoddle]

This is the bit I don’t get. I was led to believe that Angeball was balls-out attacking football. I see a fair bit of (often aimless) possession, mediocre defending, and not a lot else - all ongoing since last November.

It's a myth.

Celtic ball worked in Scotland....

 

[fernadez]

Ball out wide to the wingers to cut it back into the striker.

When there are 5 defenders to your 1 striker, it's difficult to find that cut back. And that's if you can get your wingers in behind them

But we have two wingers that can't beat a man, one due to ability and the other age

 

[Jordinho]

With our lack of quality and their time wasting, this game is done.

 

[Bishop]

The CF has played 2 games, one against the best defensive team in the league. Might want to give it a bit longer

Bro it's not about the striker, it's the system. The system we play with the players we have doesn't create actual quality chances. Solanke has been feeding in scraps all match, he had that fantastic header in the first half but even if that had gone in it would have been turning water into wine.

Doesn't help when you get it into the box the players won't shoot

 

[Goose]

He’s not Harry Kane and never will be but who is? He needs time but I can see a narrative ratcheting up if he doesn’t start scoring soon.

Apart from that 1 rabbit-in-the-headlights moment, he's been pretty solid

 

[SubZero]

It looks like Angeball is dependant on players we don't have - or who doesn't do what's required anymore. That, and we are a bit brick at the moment.

 

[afsoc4life]

Been really let down by Spurs offence. There will really be questions for Ange e.g., No discernible patterns to the offence. The love with Son and Maddison.

 

[Robspur12]

Kulu not been great today. And Odobert has not looked anymore threatening than Johnson because the same issue of lack of movement from our forwards applies.

 

[GlennGoddle]

Above West Ham on goal difference. Lovely

 

[glasgowspur]

That's twice Porro has been wiped out late and the ref has done nothing

 

[alekaras]

Raya is a very good goalkeeper that commands his area. In retrospect maybe he was worth the money, but still what Brentford were asking for was a bit ridiculous.

 

[djp82]

Said all Summer our attacking options are mediocre.

We have pace and don’t play in behind early or quick enough. Pretty easy to defend against. End product is poor from our wide men.

This is not a good look. Scum missing two best or better players and we’ve looked a cut or three below them.


Meh. Done a job on us.

Or are young and Ange won't use them

 

[Mikey10]

The mediocrity is personified in Timo Werner.

Can he play up front?

 

[JerusalemMan]

Intensely frustrating.
So many players seemed within themselves today

 

[Baleforce]

We are fudging brick.
