OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v Newport County A.F.C *** FA Cup 4th round

[Whiffler]

Nice crossfield ball by Sissoko there a minute ago

Nice header at goal, too.

Good job Vorm caught it.

 

[Notmegov]

Loving this game, proper cup tie.

 

[Rorschach]

We're simply being out-fought at the moment.. No one wants the ball. Trippier is all over the place and offering no quality service.

This is spot on.

 

[Cochise]

Back 3?

Yep, 2nd to every 50/50. Kane and Llorente not looking like a partnerhsip at all.

Might be worth trying a 4-4-2 or something with Dier in CM to try to get control of hte midfield

 

[Yiddo]

Dembele and Wanyama are getting bullied. . . .

 

[JerusalemMan]

Newport doing well, good to see.

 

[Whiffler]

KWP the only one with ideas and confidence thus far

 

[paxtonwolf]

Right now, they look the most likely to score first

 

[Cochise]

So are we planning to just wear them down and then throw on Son, Lamela and Alli?

 

[SpurMeUp]

Back 3?

Need one of them to step out when we're in possession. We're getting better. KWP could open the scoring, just needs to speed it up a fraction and he could get an opening.

 

[Daisuk]

Loving this game, proper cup tie.

Agree. We're terrible, but it's nice to see what you can achieve by giving a brick. I expect us to step up eventually. So far this is probably the worst I've seen spurs since the late 90's.

Actually Sissoko had acquitted himself quite well.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Much much better. Well done Sissoko

 

[AdamB]

Dembele and Wanyama are getting bullied. . . .

Wanyama is too isolated. Dembele needs to get within 10-20 yards of him

 

[Rorschach]

Dembele and Wanyama are getting bullied. . . .

And everyone else too.

How many shots have we had?

 

[Whiffler]

Someone ought to tell Llorenete he's a striker. Repeatedly dummies the right move towards goal, only to stop to make a pass to someone else - only to be mobbed and dispossessed.

 

[mudshark]

Note to self: Sissoko seems to play with some confidence against fourth-division opposition.

 

[Whiffler]

Actually Sissoko had acquitted himself quite well.

No - imho. Wasted space and openings - blocked KWP. Sort of cancels out his better moves, nothing spectacularly (or even particularly) good.

 

[ShipOfTheseus]

That’s a point, who from this lot can take a set piece?

E2a: Kane, then. That will make less sense from further out.
