The Case for the Attacking play

Thought we were good for 30 minutes today but still so many bad decisions and lack of execution, and im worried that it’s just their level (recent goal counts suggest so).

I’ve been critical of Solanke since he joined, was told to be patient etc. My goodness, one of the most limited strikers I’ve ever seen at Spurs. I honestly wonder how the conversations played out between RDZ, Lange and the owners (during the transfer window) that led them to say “yep, it’s enough to to just have Solanke”.

Be surprised if we manage 50 goals this season and will therefore be looking down as opposed to up.

Was being slightly facicious but

For a manager whose core system is supposedly on getting ball back to front via progressive passing, we have seem to stockpiled some 1:1 take on specialists.

So what's the model

- Build from back, bait the press (Kinsky -> JPVH being core progressive pass out)
- Get the ball to progressive passer in midfield (JPVH -> Fernandes)
- Strait down middle or out wide (Fernandes -> Savio/Tel/Kudus or direct to Marmoush)

What I'm not seeing is what is final play when Savio/Kudus/Marmoush has the ball? and the lack of goals seems to show we don't have that yet or haven't figured out how to implement it yet.

See previous post, to be silly, pass to who/where?

May just be me, but I'm missing that final play (what's our go to?), e.g. what's the version of Ange's default winger to opposing winger at back post, who is supposed to be our Johnson for the tap in?

There isn’t one
We don’t have that player
And the crossing has been high and generally poor imo
