    We'll be back. The goons have a decent synthesis of Ange and Nuno. Where they falter is going to far towards Nuno possibly. At times too defensive. It is like Arteta started with Guardiola's blueprint (which is a better version of Ange's setup), and he tried to mix it with a low block - right...

    Funny I could have sworn you wrote: If we could defend well, do the simple things well, even playing Ange's system we'd be a decent side. For example, we barely contest throw ins. Other sides make it hard for us to get possession off of a throw in. We don't even pressure sides and mark them...

    A bit confused. First you said we dont do much with possession - but actually we do. Even in a shi1 team we're scoring well. So not sure that point stands. Then you're saying out of possession we're poor - and yes, that was my point. We are fuking atrocious. Part of that is on our commitment to...

    Obviously, but the best side do actually do both. They commit men forward (at the right time), then have men sprint back to get into a good defensive shape. To your point that we're crap in possession, we are the 5th highest scoring side in the league. To say there is no ability or decent play...

    XG of 2.5 which we had today is normally sufficient - if you stop the other side from scoring 2. Original post was: Nuno's defensive organisation out of possession, Ange's in possession, would work. What we don't do is sprint back when out of possession and get into a good shape.

    Given the players we have, I think we're okay in possession. Maybe could be quicker with passes, but then we'd risk losing possession.

    Compared to which other Spurs side? I think we work the ball quite well. Lots of room for improvement, but we can work our way through a low block like today. We lack cutting edge and being clinical in the box, but we work our way into openings relatively well imo. Given the players we have that...

    Lets be honest, it is woeful. Even when we have time to get back, we dont have a good shape and remain open. We're easy to get around the side of. We don't mark well, and leave something for every side. Our press is school-yard, only really effective against teams who can't pass well. In...

    We work the ball pretty well in possession imo. Just want us to get back quicker into a solid shape.

    When you cede easy goals, that is the outcome. We had to work to get a glimmer in attack, they just walk through our defense. Interesting juxtaposition of two different footballing styles. One we could have had. And there is no denying that keeping the goals out is a strong foundation for any side.

    If you could have Nuno setup out of possession and Anges in possession, it would be a formidable setup.

    Vic been a bit sh1t? Our defensive organisation always a bit sh1t. A real shame we didn’t give Nuno time. Could have done something with us, given more time.

    Nunos position was totally undermined. Fans booing and no support from them made it untenable.

    Wood far more clinical than Richarlison.
