*** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Leeds United ***

Well I predicted the right amount of goals !!!
I do love a come from behind win !!
COYS


PS Emmerson is toilet

 

[Nexus1967]

I actually felt sorry for Emmerson today, he is not a bad defender but literally every time he got forward it just went wrong for him with misplaced passes etc. Its not like he does it on purpose but I think he needs benching similar to Son earlier this year. I wish Conte would give the fringe players more minutes just to make it seem like there is some competition for places. It seems no matter how ineffectual Emmerson is in a game he is nailed on to start the next game.
Got to wait until Boxing day now but unless any players come back from the world cup injured I can pretty much predict what our starting line up will be

I just don't get what Conte thinks he brings to the team
It's like playing with 10 men !!

'He's not Spence' is, I think, it.

Which adds to the frustration. I get Conte didn't want him and wants nothing to do with him, but you're shooting yourself in the foot not giving the kid a game.

It helps no one to have Emerson out there playing to his extremely limited levels and getting pelters for it. Bench him post-WC, please.

Tottenham......driving up my blood pressure since 1991

You don’t know how lucky you are that you start at 1991

 

[Kandi1977]

Just gonna say that Bentacur has so many bits of the very good players we have had before

he megs players like dele
Shield the ball like Dembele
Passes like Luca
What a man

Like Kulusevski said in the interview, one of the most underrated players in the PL! He's very very close to becoming an exceptional player!

 

[seaside spur]

Thought it was Bentancur's worst game this season but it takes real balls and class to give the ball away like he did and keep showing for it and score two goals. Fast becoming my favourite player. A gem.

Shout to Sanchez as well. I've given him some stick but thought he did really well when he came on. Kulusevski was also outstanding. That pull back for the winner was the sort of footballing intelligence few players are capable of.

I felt physically ill at 2-3. My worst fears of three losses on the spin heading into the WC and a fatal looking negative spiral looked to be coming through. Credit to Conte and the players.

Definitely this.

Hopefully Spence gets a good loan in January to a European club where he can play regularly for 6 months or 18 months before coming back. Can’t see us getting a top rwb in January so will be Doherty and Emerson until the Summer.

I’m really glad Conte is switching to three in midfield this often and in game. It gives us a different look and keeps the squad moving.

 

[braineclipse]

Quite impressed by us. Going behind three times, getting back, kept fighting. Good creativity, good intensity.

Defensively suspect at best for sure, but still one of the better overall games we've played recently I thought.

and with each game Bissouma is quietly improving

The way he took the ball for the second yellow was class
That was Dembele esque
Take it in the turn and move it

and allowing bentancur to get forward more and score

i hope conte persists with 3 in the middle

this was a weakened leeds side without bamford, harrison, dallas, sinisterra so there's still a lot of work to do
good to see Son in high spirits with no visible discomfort from his facial fractures
richarlison looked like he never had an injury

 

[K.D.D.D.D.Soc]

Though Adam's was a very lucky boy to be still on the park that late in the game, he had 5 or 6 cheap hits on our players.

It means we have less attackers on the pitch and it hasn’t meant a stronger defence to date
3-4-3 is fine and works with the right players

I thought there were several dodgy challenges that didn’t make it into the MOTD highlights package. I recall an elbow on Kulu and also Richarlison getting whacked a couple of times.

He was the principal reason why we won . He enabled PEH and more importantly Bentancur to push on and help our attack which was floundering. His work is underestimated.

I don’t think it is as we can now see it
He comes in and fixed issues
He will also be starting against Brentford

Front 4 for Leeds all very good yesterday
Aarunson especially
