***Tottenham Hotspur v Fulham OMT***

[metalgear]

Bale is still limping...

He looks downcast. I'd take precaution and rest him 2nd half.

 

[GLENROYID]

Utterly brick performance, considering were playing a dog brick team.

 

[Mumorn]

cheers statto so far, you and your brick omt.

 

[Holsten76]

AVB, sort it out!

 

[Rossi22]

Whoscored says Benny's been our best player. That's good enough for me.

 

[THFC6061]

Rather subdued Spurs performance in the first half.

We need to step on the gas more if we want the three points.

 

[Gilzeantoscore]

How brick was that? No service to our forwards, no movement, no tempo, no energy.

 

[Baleforce]

He looks downcast. I'd take precaution and rest him 2nd half.

Definitely

 

[DHSF]

The system isnt that great. BAE looks lost as do a couple of others and not to mention Ade spending most of his time on the left when we need him up front in the box. hmmmmmm

 

[Modric THFC]

This was the actual first half formation

------------------Lloris--------------
Naughton---Dawson---Caulker--Verts
--------------------------------BAE
------------Parker-Dembele----------
--Siggy-----------Bale----------Ade

 

[GrimsbyYid]

ekotto has looked utterly lost... the sad thing is he's not the only one. this system isn't working.

get bale on the left, defoe on for ekotto, holtby on for sigurdsson later and just go 4-4-2 and go for it.
anything is better than that first half effort.

442 with ade and defoe?!?!!? Have you watched spurs over the past few years? Doesn't work. Holtby for Vertonghen (give him a rest) and play people in more comfortable positions - DONE!!!!

 

[rosenthal]

Rest Bale? Take precaution?
I doubt we have anything to get the win with today without Gareth Bale.

 

[Mumorn]

.............Adebayor......Defoe
Bale.......Dembele.......Parker.....Siggy
Ekotto....Vertonghen...Dawson...Naughton
.............................Lloris


Defoe on -> Caulker off.

 

[diego_maradona]

Clearly feeling the effects of Inter game. Players looking a little lost waiting for something to happen. Plenty of time still but struggling for creativity at the moment.

How can we switch it up?

 

[greatwhitenorf]

We certainly didn't give Fulham much to feed on that half.

And Bale needing a rest? Had a week off.

 

[Modric THFC]

Whoscored says Benny's been our best player. That's good enough for me.

Because he has more tackles and interceptions than anyone else.
He's supposed to be playing a winger not a full back.

 

[Spurs852]

Ade spending most of his time on the left when we need him up front in the box. hmmmmmm

Spot on

 

[seaside spur]

hows the weather where everyone is today?...

Around 39 earlier today. Now a cool 27 in Phnom Penh.
That first half performance is getting me more hot and bothered than the weather here. Shocking.
I knew we would collapse with the workload and difficult fixtures.
Not a question of 'bottle'. Its all about a wafer thin squad and not enough quality.
Total reliance on a few key players.

Supposed to be playing as a winger?? Left mf mate
