*** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Crystal Palace ***

[Chrissivad]

So is it 433 with Porro RCM and Royal RB?

442 with son at LM and Porro RM.
At least when we don't have the ball

 

[fernadez]

We're playing 4-4-2

 

[alekaras]

Royal already making a huge difference in shoring up the right side of the defense.

 

[DubSpur]

10 mins in, better team and no goals conceded, big improvement

 

[alekaras]

We're playing 4-4-2

It's 4-3-3 with Porro on the right side of the midfield.

Not something anyone would expect at the start of the season.

Fair play to the guy, he has put in a lot of work.

 

[fernadez]

It's 4-3-3 with Porro on the right side of the midfield.

I'm in the stadium, it's clearly not. We have two strikers and Son is left midfield Porro right.

Yeah.
Son does seem to drift a bit when we have the ball though.

 

[DubSpur]

Unlucky, good delivery from the corner

 

[fernadez]

How we constructed a squad with only one player who can pass a ball is a mystery.

 

[metalgear]

Royal... We've missed him. So much.
Romero looks purposeful as ccb.
Defence looks settled and more menacing.
Forster coming for crosses and distribution so much better than loris.

Only 20 minutes gone, but this team looks really good. Well done Mason.

 

[Benny_Lad]

Our urgency/intensity is disgusting.

Chance of a quick throw for a 3 on 3. Nobody moving. Both CMs static looking at each other. Players chucking the ball to each other.

 

[Chrissivad]

Nice to see Hojbjerg skip past a couple of challenges, but he needs to hit the target

 

[spurspinter1]

It doesn't really matter but either my eyes are broken or the stream is because Royal, Cuti and Lenglet are absolutely a back three. The outer two are equidistant from Romero in their starting position, and are constantly working as a three.

Seems like people really just want to see that Mason has moved on from Conte's 3-4-3 so much they'll start seeing things.

Dull game though but at least we haven't collapsed early doors. I think absolutely everyone would agree we need a proper creator in midfield.

 

[Eriktheviking]

Skipp not having the best of games so far.

 

[metalgear]

Kane and Richarlison up front looks unconvincing.

 

[alekaras]

It's 4-3-3 for sure.

Yes, your eyes are broken.

It's absolutely not, look at Royals positioning, he's out on the right wing the majority of the time as a RB.

 

[Chrissivad]

Porro is putting in some good balls from our corners.
