***OMT TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR v Aston Villa***

[paxtonwolf]

This is fudging rubbish by Villa. Playing for a draw or to nick one. Scandelous. Its a cup game against an only half decent Spurs side. They should be thinking they can win it and be going for it

Right now we are there for the taking. At present, for us, it smacks of ' If we scrape a win fine, if we lose, concentrate on the league' Just seems a damp performance

 

[Hashegotthesackyet?]

@AdamB D Murphy is one

 

[El Guepardo]

Son is our best chance for a goal

 

[PochettinoPochettinoPochettino]

Cooooooor Janssen really is fcuking brick isn't he!

Rory Allen
Ginger Pele
Jason Dozzell

All strikers I'd prefer up front than Janssen.

Yawn

What a boring game - this is going nowhere

Put Alli on for CCV at HT and revert to a 4-2-3-1

 

[Bullet]

Gaagh I hate short corners, never work. Just get it in, plenty of good targets

 

[Kandi1977]

Both Trippier and Davies are staying very wide. Problem is we don't get a second wave coming when we play 3-5-2,leaving it easy for Villa to defend. Would prefer 3-4-3. Then the front wide men can create width, and the wing backs can follow up and overlap. Much more difficult to defend.

Thanks - that's it. Very dull voice; couldn't work out who it was though

 

[billyiddo]

Good link up between Son and Janssen there

We are playing 3421 aren't we?

 

[AdamB]

GKN on for CCV please

 

[paxtonwolf]

Alli is going get 30mins at this rate. Big mistake not having Kane on the bench

 

[paxtonwolf]

GKN on for CCV please

Yes, or something at HT. This isnt working

Janssen takes up some unusual positions for a main striker. A minute ago he was ahead of the cross into the box. Just now, after passing to Davies, instead of heading into the box for a ball across the goal he dropped off for a pull back. And then on the corner he just stood in the area rather than attacking the area.

His movement suggests he thinks like a #10, the player in behind the main striker, but without necessarily having the skills required of a #10 at this level.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Poor poor first half really

They have played a blinder today with the TV picks

 

[Legohamster]

Get Janssen off, put Son up top.

Send Janssen to West Ham to get them relegated.

He's utter dog brick

Looks like Son and Janssen up front. Either way, we don't get those 2vs1 situations, making it static and easy to defend.

 

[AdamB]

Janssen being the same as alawsy - holds the ball up well but not the right CF for us. We need someone who can play facing the opposition goal - he prefers back to goal.

 

[King of Norway]

Very poor first half. We created nothing. We need a lot more movement off the ball and to move the ball quicker.

You're dog brick as well
