OMT: Mighty Tottenham Hotspurs vs Brentford - Sat, 21 Sept, 3pm

[Daisuk]

The inevitable inviting them back into the game phase now. fudge sake.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Vicario showing his immense shot stopping again.

He is brilliant at that
Needs the rest of his game back to where it was

 

[SubZero]

Yet again a totally unchallenged header. Had they scored there, I'd put money on 2-3.

We need to protect him better, and stop expecting him to use his feet and be part of the build up.

 

[Mrs Vert]

We RRREEEALLLLLLY need a 3rd

 

[Daisuk]

"There's only one Brennan Johnson" again - nice touch.

 

[Bishop]

This point last season it was the opposite with Raya making mistake after mistake.

With Vicario I don't actually think he's making mistakes after mistakes just that his specific weaknesses have been somewhat exposed and the opposition are targeting that along with the occasional mistake.

On the balance he's well in the black, so I'm happy with him generally speaking. Just that the decision not to go for Raya isn't looking so amazing I guess.

 

[Mrs Vert]

22 shots we have had apparently

 

[Baleforce]

get Werner on for Son

 

[Mulletperm]

Son is knackered ffs take him off

 

[SubZero]

We've reverted back to being Flicky Tricky Ricky's again. Please play more like in the 1st half.

As I discussed with @Bedfordspurs the other day, there's always tradeoffs to going for a second choice on grounds of him being cheaper. In Vic's case, we gain a slightly better shot stopper than Raya, but one with much, much poorer command of his box compared to Raya, who is generally assured and commanding at set pieces and when claiming the ball. Everything else (sweeping, passing out from the back, etc.) is a wash between the two.

 

[JerusalemMan]

Yep, Son needs a break.

 

[Outrance]

22 shots we have had apparently

Yes, but they probably count Brennan's scuffed half-assed shots as well

Or better of course
We may think we have the better keeper

I never liked Raya and he just fits in with those clams, so I'm perfectly happy with not getting him.

Wish we would protect son from that

Bergvall for Maddison as well. Both have worked hard

He is a good keeper
A very good one
But the hype machine is massive right now
