OMT **Tottenham v AFC Bournemouth

[paxtonwolf]

Right so that isnt a yellow???

 

[Cochise]

Bloody poor touch from Wanyama and he gets injured.

 

[Rorschach]

Our play is littered with mistakes

 

[Kandi1977]

Nothing clicking so far. When we get the ball and work it into space we look startled and desperately try to pass backwards. They are having the better of it. Another corner.

They want it more. Simple as that. They put 110% effort in, we are at 85 atm. If we don't step it up, we won't win.

 

[SpurMeUp]

We could do with Janssen on.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Are we having our weekly poor 45mins in the first half this time??

 

[Bedfordspurs]

I always think we start slow after a European game

 

[Cochise]

This isn't looking like a game where Son is gonna be our best option up top.

 

[SpurMeUp]

Son would do better playing off Janssen. Still only 20 mins in. But bournmouth closing us out so far.

 

[Daisuk]

Why do we keep playing it back to lloris when we're under pressure? I love the guy, but we always lose the ball when we do this. Would be better if say Dier hoofed it. Maybe we could hit some of our players.

 

[Bullet]

One quarter gone. Lloris is scrambling around, dashing out of his box, playing passes, sweating buckets, saving... Artur Boruc is just starting his second cup of tea.

 

[Kandi1977]

Why are we only playing high balls to Son? Surely that is not his strength!

YES! I hate it when we work it back to Lloris, just so he can whack it or play a risky pass. We've done it 30 times already, what is the point? We don't seem to have any movement or options

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Why are we only playing high balls to Son? Surely that is not his strength!

I'd say it's because their pressing our defence and making us play long

Their happy to sit off the midfield and only press when it's with out back 4

 

[paxtonwolf]

Why is that a fk against Dembele?

 

[SpurMeUp]

A lot better!

 

[paxtonwolf]

Some of our build-up between in the midde 40yds is a joy, then when we get 20yards out we look clueless

 

[Rorschach]

Our movement is brick, in keeping with everthing else.

 

[Cochise]

We've passed through the press on a few occasions now, but then Lamela and Eriksen haven't got the ability to drive at their back four.

 

[SpurMeUp]

We're doing alright against a decent team. Bournmouth started well but cant keep that level up.
