OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur vs CSKA Moscow***

[Dr Rosenrosen]

Lately we have kind of resembled an Arsenal side of the last few years, trying to tippy-tappy and dribble the ball into the goal. It's pretty if it works, but a bit one-dimensional if it doesn't.

 

[glasgowspur]

Alli has been the only play to have a go at thier goal?
Lamela has been giving the ball away too often.
Other than the odd laps - we are doing OK

Eriksen has had two blazed over the bar and toys header

 

[paxtonwolf]

Not like Son there. was expecting the net to ripple

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Alli seems to take one to in too many at the moment

 

[afsoc4life]

Compare Traore and Janssen in terms of hold up play. This CL season is just for the manager and team to gain experience.

 

[AdamB]

Sorry to continue with the same comments but Wanyama generally doesn't have anyone (apart from the CBs) within 30 yards of him

 

[paxtonwolf]

Damn thought that was going in

Eriksen ballooned two shots from range first half, Alder also ballooned one over besides the header straight at the goalie, plus there were a couple of other wayward attempts first half.

Disagree. This group is wide open

Wanyama our defensive midfielder you mean??

What's your point?

 

[Rorschach]

Thought that was in

 

[Hashegotthesackyet?]

It was the same in the first half

Only saw the last 10 mins of first half, but looked like a 4 1 1 1 1 1 1 !

 

[camspur]

To be fair to Trippier, Lamela is drifting wide quite often which takes up the space which he would run into. Trippier is as like for like replacement as we'd realistically get for Walker. Davies, whilst he's done well in the last year or so, isn't very much a like for like change for Rose

I haven't seen one surging run from Tripper all he does is pass sideways or back. If he's a like for like replacement for Walker I'll get my boots out and be the same for Kane

 

[paxtonwolf]

Better again. No pen Dele get up

 

[Spur of the moment]

They are pouncing on everything around the bosx like their lives depended on it - which they probably do come to think of it.

 

[AdamB]

Point is that when they break beyond our 4 attacking midfielders he's on his own facing them. Makes him completely open, easy to beat and more likely to get a second yellow

 

[monkeybarry]

This might be a time for NKoudou - we need to drive at them, everything is 25 yards out and they have bodies back..... defendable

Ah... Yes that makes sense
I thought you were highlighting he wasn't being effective as he was too near the defence

 

[Rorschach]

Nice touch by Jansen

 

[paxtonwolf]

well the chances are coming, can we take one
