OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Palace

[spurspinter1]

The obviously point is the Werner miss, really needs one and whenever he's in these positions he just doesn't look confident. I still like the signing in theory as we had to try something but just needs a goal to settle. The first touch was sublime, shame about the last one.

The worry is how out of form Maddison and Bentancur are, not sure if it's normal for Maddison to take so long to get back in to form. For a player that often has longish spells out that's not a good thing.

Maybe it seems a bit harsh but not loving Udogie today, passes to Werner's feet then runs in to the clump of Palace players, stands there until we lose the ball.

Don't ask me who I'd take off but could do with Sarr and Johnson on the pitch it 60 minutes plus without improvement. It won't stop our front line looking fairly unimposing but probably good to mix it up.

When was the last time we played well?

I can’t remember. That was another poor half.

 

[paxtonwolf]

What a load of boring brick. Our system is sl-o-o-o-owwwww

It feels like slowly game-by-game we are regressing back to games when Conte was in charge

 

[Baleforce]

At least we’ve not conceded. Not that Palace have tried that hard to score.

 

[Legohamster]

He has, also hasn't had a single pass in front of him though

He keeps dropping deep, he needs to stay up the field.

 

[Baleforce]

Whoever came up with that ridiculous nickname, needs to be shot.

Lol



O

 

[Kandi1977]

Well, I supposed at least he took the shot

Better than just passing it around endlessly! Perhaps we're trying to be so boring that the opposition eventually go to sleep?

 

[Mulletperm]

When we play the ball quickly we look so good. Unfortunately that is bloody rare and too often we hold on far too long.

 

[greatwhitenorf]

Halftime. Goalless. Soulless.

 

[Mrs Vert]

Why? Because everyone just makes the easy pass, no one is trying to break the lines. We're not seeing any runs from deep into the box. Sarr is the best player for that. Biss and Bentancur don't do that.
So basically, lack of movement and bravery.

Find it hard to believe Ange suggests that in training . So why are they doing it? Don't Care why, just Stop it! Those players mystify me.

 

[fernadez]

Werner has been our best player. Got no idea why Udogie is refusing to pass to him

 

[Dicko]

This is nothing like Conte... Yes we are toothless up front but the general passing and movement is light years from Conteball

 

[greatwhitenorf]

Bisoumma just never passes forward and always passes on the responsibility.
Zero creativity.

Sarr waiting in the wings to not only pass creatively, but take on responsibility for dribbling the ball forward.

 

[Mosquito_Coasting]

Not being brave playing through the lines and teams are sitting deeper, that seems the main difference between now and early season. We need to spend about £150m on the front line too. Om the plus side not been threatened much on the break today.

 

[Daisuk]

That was one boring half of football, fudging hell. Too slow and indecisive in the final third. We look a bit clueless.

Can you please explain that? To me eyes we are not playing a low-possession, low block, which was - to me eyes - what Conte played. If you mean we are not scoring and dominating games, for sure (to my eyes).

 

[Mrs Vert]

We've had two weeks to prepare for this, knowing how they would set up and we still look pretty clueless.

Ange Said that has been a problem. Too much Space in between games.

 

[Baleforce]

:Ross:

 

[Bullet]

It is hard to believe that we employ coaches and that we work on some sort of goalscoring plan.

We couldn't look more clueless.

Romero and VdV play a 15 yard pass to a midfielder who looks up and knocks it off 10 yards to someone tightly marked. Sometimes that player can turn and play it into someone else tightly marked, who has to play it backwards.

We are as penetrative as a sponge through tarmac.

 

[paxtonwolf]

I can’t remember. That was another poor half.

I would say Toon at home
