***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Everton***

I think the 'excuses' he gives are valid and traceable. Basically adds up to explaining a below average start.

But, it's also true that every game has looked a step forward. That first 25 mins was great in many ways.

The 'no goals' headline is a gift for the media. (If only we'd lost a game 5-1. Roll eyes). And by it's nature, it will be the loudest voice in the room. An easy juggernaut to pile all kinds of other negativity on. eg Think he's 'a bully' today.
I hope he's good at ignoring all this nonsense. It's literally a faux created works of zero importance.

We played well, fitness and availability will improve and results will come. And I'm guessing goals will be part of that, by default:)
 
The issue is it’s football with no risk still
Their is very little gambling on things happening
We have seen some high quality passing being taken into a player who either panics or takes 5 or touched
Neither aspect leads to goals at this level

He's saying the quotes you've seen from RDZ aren't actually what he said. In his actual comments he didn't berate Tel.

This is what he actually said in the presser.




That's all he said directly about Tel. Any other quotes are being mischievous and aren't actually from RDZ. 😂

Quite! It genuinely concerns me if actual fake news is driving opinions of our players, or how our manager handles those players.

I understand being disappointed RDZ went straight to him on the pitch. But those quotes are purely tactical, and then reinforcing how much he loves him as a player and a person. If those quotes are considered too harsh from our manager then I’d respectfully disagree there. The fake ones? Absolutely, too much!

Interesting.
From what you see, which players are doing the high quality passing and which are panicking and/or taking 5 touches?

I do wonder how much of that is the confidence of the players and the chemistry between them. I really think in that first 20 minutes there was lots of 1 touch, line breakers, and half turn under pressure type stuff. It really opened things up. For the rest of the game we looked very disjointed, like the players didn’t know what each other would do. And you could see like Savio having a go at Gray for the angle of his run. This is the stuff I hope works out quickly. We at least have that first 20 as the example to draw from now.

Well Saturday there was elite passing imo from JPvH for exmaple
Tonali played some great passes
But the final third decision making has been bad
I do also think we’re playing an extra midfielder which gives us control and makes us hard to score against but as none of the 3 really have that creative profile we have the creative issue
We’re not making the opposition keepers work for their money are we .

It looked great
But it didn’t open them up otherwise we would have had a shot or two
We didn’t really muster any shots of any quality in that spell but it was great on the eye
That’s the balance and the risk I mean

There were at least 2 occasions when we should have shot. I remember the Fernandes one in particular when he took the extra touch. In the first 20 ish minutes we had a few of those moments, it felt like if we got one the flood gates might actually open but alas we never actually tested the keeper.

Agreed.I think we've looked better each game....and we are 360+ mins in.

(As the Charlton game isn't allowable)

Very bad when in front of goal
