    Huge job ahead for Tudor for sure. This feels to me worse than last season with regards to league form. At least last season we had managed to stem the injury crisis somewhat. And at this stage I think had started prioritising the EL, meaning that we could go back to prioritising the PL if we...

    Xavi Simons

    Agreed. Even when he lost the ball with that failed cross field ball. Sure it's poor, and giving the ball away like that repeatedly will lead to us conceding goals. But at least he was trying to do something useful, play a cross field ball to a player who was in space and could then perhaps go...

    Xavi Simons

    To my viewing Trossard typically got the ball in a bit of space, even him being up against Palhinha makes a point, he got the ball up against one of our CBs, a situation where danger happens from one move. He also typically had movement around him. Meanwhile Simons got the ball with very...

    Igor the Interim

    Difficult to compare perhaps as we've been so different as a team before and after his injury. But I agree he was better, not sure by how much - somewhat better? But his weaknesses and what we're seeing post injury isn't some new weakness that he's now developed. And imo he's shown himself a...

    This is what concerns me

    Yeah, the faster that zero in the W column can turn into a 1 the better. We're desperate for a win at the moment.

    Spot on for me. Much ado about a thing that just happens in football. Because we're brick, lost the NLD and are staring at that line to relegation in fear.

    Agreed on VdV, and on that being true for most of our deep players. Romero and Porro being the exceptions. Dragusin is an imo excellent old school CB/box defender. But defending high or wide with space around him is not his cup of tea. And if any team is need of an old school CB like that in...

    On that I think Tudor has a bit of a problem to figure out with Kolo Muani, he clearly has quality we need, but he's not exactly the most engaged presser around. Otherwise agree on the need for the pressing to be cohesive. Another challenge if Tudor wants that from us, getting that ingrained...

    That's certainly the hope. Said last season (and maybe before too), Porro, Romero and Maddison were all key to how we manage to progress the ball. We could maybe do without one, but not two, certainly not all three. We brought in Kudus who should have helped with that given his ability to just...

    ENIC

    To me at least really rather good in tight spaces. Has that ability to just get out of trouble with the ball, get past players as well as keeping possession. Showed some good passing too, but that's been more of an inconsistent/occasional thing for him so far. For me it's more of an...

    Not seen the specific clip... Tudor shouting instructions that the players aren't able to correctly execute should be expected at this point, no?

    Makes it easier when they can leave a couple of players, a couple of out balls that if not covered properly still won't lead us anywhere positive because those players won't do anything useful with the ball anyway. But yeah, also our own pressing mostly wasn't good enough. But given that we...

    Tudor has had one game. One of the toughest games of the season. He has experience in situations like this. We'll have players returning from injuries and, for Romero, suspension. Massively important players too like Romero and Porro. Muani scored a league goal.

    Frank definitely needs to get his share of the criticism here, not just the board and owners. But yeah, we are now left having to completely trust Tudor and the players that are here and available.

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v woolwich *** 22.2.26

    Is there a system/formation the currently available players are well suited to? Particularly in a game against a very good team. Seems to me like we'd be imbalanced no matter what. It's not like we packed a flat back 5 at the back. And I definitely don't think that's how Tudor wants us to play...

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v woolwich *** 22.2.26

    As long as his performances and discipline are good enough under Tudor that's all that matters for the rest of the season. If he's then seen as someone to keep or not come the summer (I think not) is a question for the summer. If his performances aren't there or if his discipline isn't there...

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v woolwich *** 22.2.26

    Biss was one of our better players yesterday I thought, particularly in the first half.

    Radu Drăgușin

    I think Dragusin was signed in part because we were desperate for a CB that was "ready made" and physically strong in the difficult January market.

    Radu Drăgușin

    For me being good enough on the ball is part of the basics. That's kind of what I said, it's not to me a secondary ability. Burn is alright on the ball. Particularly in a team with several quality ball players at the back and in midfield. He's good enough on the ball. Dragusin isn't, and maybe...

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v woolwich *** 22.2.26

    I thought we looked up for it yesterday. We just weren't good enough to really compete. We were second best by a long distance, but the fight and intensity for me was there. We're severely disjointed mainly because of injuries and imo as a result of having spent most of this season not working...
