OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v Brentford FC ***

[SpurMeUp]

Richie, should have found Spence there!! Advantages of the right foot LB seen in that move.

 

[Baleforce]

Because it was clearly the shoulder. Nothing to scream about.

you have to manufacture these things, build some momentum, get a narrative going, appeal for everything

 

[Mrs Vert]

I'm doing the ironing whilst watching this , I'm not certain which I'm enjoying more

Ironing...at least you can see progression

Bit unlucky to have our 3 no10s all unavailable + our most attacking 8 + our only left footed left back (I’m discarding Davies). We’re limited in the tools we have tonight.

Having said that, there’s a chance for Frank to be creative:

Move VDV to left back and play Danso.
Play Odo in the 10 and play Tel/RKM left.
Play Tel or RKM in a 2 man attack with Richy.

Playing 3 blunt instruments in CM was not the ONLY option available.

We never do that

I don't get our press, or rather lack of it. We're not sitting deep, but aren't really pressing either. Makes it so comfortable for Brentford. It's like everything is at 50%.

Movement, press and positioning have all been shocking. I like we are pressing high but I'm not convinced we are actually pressing. It feels very rigid, it's like everyone has a position and cannot stray too far from it.

 

[fernadez]

I think we've been alright.

No saves to make, they've had the ball but in front of us and we've created the best opportunities.

For a away performance for a team that's only lost at home to City, I thought people would be more upbeat about what's happened so far.

You want away games to be a bit nothing, then kill it off.

Are we singing the Dele song? fudge me even our fans are bored

 

[Benny_Lad]

Romero punished for a one handed push there…..interesting!

Sign him up!

this is what PL football looks like now

 

[Daisuk]

Our fans doing the whole "old players" medley. Last one fizzling out being the Toby Toby, Jan Jan. We need some new heroes.

 

[SpurMeUp]

Who said Spence can't cross from the left?

Valid.
Its just that I think we are not necessarily seeing the team doing the basics rights. Its just frustrating

 

[Eriktheviking]

So many average players. Is Wilson going to take on his man at Least once please?

That's fair enough, but if you are going to press, it's has to be a collective press. We aren't. It's one or two players at most pressing half heartedly.

 

[Baleforce]

Richie is having a good game, forcing mistakes.

 

[fernadez]

We never do really, been a feature of our play for years

 

[Muttley]

It almost feels like we should put VDV at LB, get Danso on, Bents or Pal off and get Spence into the central 10 role.

 

[Kandi1977]

Get Kudus off!!!
