It's great way to conserve energy levels. I always felt if they needed more they would have gone for it.

And we would have helped them
Last season at the lane we went undefeated and only let in 6 (might have been 8) goals. We were a mean machine back then.

The reluctance to release the ball when someone is in space is killing us.
There's absolutely no confidence.

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 possession we are decent however.

But you’re relying on the other team missing their chances. Different if you don’t give up that many chances but we should have scored 4 or 5 tonight in spite of how bad we were.

We’ve lost 21 out of our last 38 PL games, only Southampton and Leicester have lost more PL games over the past 12 months

I don't think we are.
Too many balls sideways and backwards. All far too slow.
Very little options for the person with the ball as we go to a 2134 formation

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 is one part of our game that is at least decent.

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.

I thought they defended well in spite of the pressure. They gave up possession knowing that they can defend well and we are not clinical.

What are they getting away with though?
They started well scored 2, could have had more and then kept a good shape and waited to pounce on any opportunities given to them.
That's really good game management. They didn't camp, the line was surprisingly high. They just defended well and were direct in possession.
Very fortunate they have been abysmal this season. Worst two sides Prem has seen in a while.We’ve lost 21 out of our last 38 PL games, only Southampton and Leicester have lost more PL games over the past 12 months

Anges number one target was Solanke, enough red flags right there
We didn't really work our way through a low block today we mostly went wide and put a lot of crosses in - it's valid enough but it is not playing through and opening up a low block

In what way did we not deserve that?

I love Richy. I think Johnson can become a great player if he introduces other attributes to his game. Like you said, both score goals, which is not an easy thing to do.

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.
