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

[DeanoAustin]

Apparently they’ve been showing this in Strangeways and the prisoners are asking to be put back in the cells.

Really poor watch mitigated somewhat by the absentees. Bentancur been good. A few have been decent. Odobert looks like he could be a threat if we could get him on the ball in good positions and support him.

 

[Mrs Vert]

Get Kudus off!!!

And put on?

 

[SpurMeUp]

Can I have some of what you're drinking?

What are you expecting from us playing such a potent home side?

 

[ricky2tricky4city]

Another great advert for the PL

 

[Baleforce]

We are boring

which is what I spent two years begging for, inject it in my veins

 

[GlennGoddle]

Can I have some of what you're drinking?

On a wind up surely

 

[Robbo]

Boring as hell, and we lack creativity and precise passes offensively, but overall a pretty solid performance.

 

[DubSpur]

he got fired because he's taking the City job right?

No, Pep is seeing out his contract.

Reading this thread I feel like I'm so out of touch.

What are we meant to be doing that we're not?

 

[Mrs Vert]

Exciting end to end stuff.
You lot should have sat through Liverpool Leeds earlier, Jeez that was dull.

At least we have an excuse....pool are something else

 

[Kandi1977]

And put on?

Tel, Scarlett or Kolo Muani. Doesn't matter! They'll all put in way more effort than he has! And effort is the first thing you have to bring to the table, and it will often trumph skill!

Would be nice if we passed quicker and made better decisions for starters

 

[SpurMeUp]

To the virtual 'boo boys'

- we had a free shot at goal in the opening minutes that Gray took too long over.
- The Gray and Richie headers.
- Some interchange with Richie and Spence where Richie just missed the pass back, and Spence could have shot earlier.

And a number of other mini-openings. Versus their what? One break when we were stretched at the end which we defended well. Honestly, with a patched up team, away to a team who are decent, what are fans expecting????

Look to play the ball forward and move to give options to whoever is on the ball would be a good start.

 

[Legohamster]

We look devoid of Ideas and looking at the bench, I am not overly sure there is many answers there

 

[MartyFunkhouser]

Yeah, I don't know. Give Maresca a call?

No thanks

 

[ricky2tricky4city]

The ballsy option is to hook Paulinha or Bentancur ....and slot Kudus Muani or Tel into the 10 spot...dropping Gray back.

 

[Rorschach]

Another great advert for the PL

The half time adverts ? Better than this match I suppose.

 

[Mrs Vert]

Boring as hell, and we lack creativity and precise passes offensively, but overall a pretty solid performance.

An upside we havent conceded. Do it again and nick a goal. Then job done.

 

[Kandi1977]

Reading this thread I feel like I'm so out of touch.

What are we meant to be doing that we're not?

Score goals? Attack with some conviction? Look like we have a plan? Put some effort in? Make it uncomfortable for the opponent?

Pick anything you want from those, as I haven't seen us do any of that in the first half.
