*** OMT We are MASSIVE FC v Tottenham Hotspur ***

[DubSpur]

I mean, this game is just us playing down to our opposition - we do this regularly, and it's no surprise it pops up away against the teams that consider us their rivals and make a bit of noise.

But I also want to underline how much West Ham pressed our backline for their equalizer - look at how easy they're finding it to press Sanchez, Dier and Davies and either pick up the ball or force them into a panicked clearance that they then pick up possession from.

Yes, Lloris has had multiple mares passing out today. But one of our apparent targets this summer was to strengthen that back line, and here we are still starting Sanchez, Dier and Davies.

It will remain an issue, imo. As long as we have them, we will struggle to impose ourselves on games - it's not just because of them, but they are a part of why.

Most of the probs with playing out from the back have come from Lloris. He's played shocking passes that have left the defenders with nowhere to go.
It's not just his passing but decision making, he has to realise when there's to much pressure on the defenders and when to go long.

It's a poor league if we are 3rd

 

[AdamB]

It's coming late on isnt it??

Feels that way. We're getting worse the longer the game is going on

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Our right hand side is awful with the ball

 

[paxtonwolf]

Here it comes

 

[SpurMeUp]

Championship quality match. Our lack of quality in our backline costing us imo.

 

[Baleforce]

that's a booking and rices wasn't?

 

[scaramanga]

That booking should have been for Bowen.

A stand out even amongst all the terrible decisions tonight

 

[fernadez]

We brought off our best player and brought on our new player in his worst position with that substitution.

 

[JerusalemMan]

Leaving the subs surprisingly late

Agree.

Another 2 points dropped, could be 3 if we are not careful. Top 4 is only up for grabs because Liverpool and Chelsea seem to not care this season.

Or another angle, another point gained vs last season when we lost this match.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Let off

 

[djp82]

We’ve been bang average tonight . Bentancur is a miss . Goes about his business quietly.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

They don’t press unless it’s Sanchez with the ball

Leaving the subs surprisingly late

When we played only a couple of days ago. Need to sign a fast player to come on in games like this.

 

[AdamB]

Wonder whether its Conte's double pre-season sessions which are killing our energy in these first few games

 

[paxtonwolf]

COYS Show some grit

Old man perisic showing more than kane and son charging down the keeper

 

[scaramanga]

2 minutes to score 6 and make this respectable
