OMT SPURS v burnley

[milo]

We rely so much on the pace of our full backs. The two in the pitch have none, added to that Trips has forgotten how to cross and plays it back inside every time now.

No need for Dier and Dembele, drop Eriksen in there and bring on Vincenzo.

It wasn't a problem when we finished last season with these fullbacks.

I think that all we are seeing is that Poch trains the side to peak after Christmas. We have been a bit workmanlike in early season every year under him.

 

[The Portugeezer]

With this and last week's display, do you guys think we are going to win the league? Give me a break. We need to bring in reinforcements. We've not progressed at all.

We usually have one decent half at least so let's see what happens next. I think if we fudge up today then we worry a bit, and see if we get any new faces in.

Let's see what the next 20 mins goes like.

 

[El Guepardo]

The way we're playing, we've regressed. We need a much better second half showing.

He was whipping in crosses which negates his lack of pace. Now he's not even doing that.

He had three central defenders behind him then. Both of his games this season have been in a back four.

 

[Rorschach]

need to move it quicker and on occasion beat someone, more movement off the ball too

I agree we are paying it slow and safe too much. Son and Alli and Eriksen all need to do better with the ball though, IMO. They all have had been poor really.

He's been in positions this game to deliver and hasn't. Don't see how that relates to our defensive shape.

Second half can only get better. COYS

Second half can only get better. COYS

Unless they score, then it's worse!

 

[the dza]

I honestly think we just need a bit of luck and we will crush them.

 

[harr1984]

Don't see what the big deal is. We've mainly played like this under Poch,possession based first half and begin to exploit later in the game when opposition is tired of chasing the ball. Doesn't always work but more often than not reaps rewards....

Who said we were?

I think this year is about consolidating... escaping unharmed from Wembley and sneaking into the top four.

We won 17 of 19 at WHL last year. That won't happen at home for us this season.

I'm pretending that's not an option

 

[Lemonade Money]

What a ball

 

[Lemonade Money]

Dele!

 

[Daisuk]

GET IN! ALLI.

 

[milo]

It doesn't give him as much license to get forward, so he will have less chances.

 

[Rorschach]

Lovely feet by Alli.

Edit: And there's a goal. Lovely lovely lovely

 

[Kandi1977]

Yesssss! Dele Alli! Finally a bit of luck

 

[the dza]

I honestly think we just need a bit of luck and we will crush them.

There we go.
