**** OMT Tottenham Hotspur Vs Coventry City ****

Three points was all that really mattered tonight. Not the greatest of performances still, and laughably poor defending for their equaliser, but two moments of real quality contributed to the win.

Easy, never in doubt. Made the last train back to the Shire. Happiness.

Van Hecke good player but goes to ground and over commits a little too often for my liking.

He makes my blood boil every game! Reckless tackles that completely puts him out of the game when he misses it, which he does more often than not. He's slow as a turtle. That's pretty much been a constant. But today, in addition to those, was him completely ignoring and refusing to pass out to Kudus! It was Mind-blowing! It's the weirdest thing I've seen! Even when he was well out of his depth, and could easily get out of the situation by just poking it out to Kudus, he refused to and they scored. Absolutely shocking.

He's shockingly bad as a defender. If he was more mobile, he'd be better as a DM, but he's too slow for that too.

I watched with the volume down as soon as I heard who was commentating, can only imagine how tense the crowd was until Davies scored.

Very important result. Hopefully no lingering injuries going into next week

Fecking unbelievable how Smith continues to get to commentate on all out games

At least we finally had a forme player who actually loves the club in the studio for a change, Sandro’s enthusiasm was such a refreshing change from Bitter Jamie and Darren Bent the other weekend!

Yeah not convinced by his defending. Needs a blocker next to him imho. Hopefully won’t get exposed against Chelsea at the weekend.

thats a lot of goals off an xG of 0.9

slowed the xGA in the second half slightly

we still have a lot of problems defensively, they were successful on half of their verticals and won 25% of crosses, thats appalling from our point of view

The single biggest problem we have defensively is that we cannot put out a consistent back four. Every week something new. Coventry are a big long-ball side. I thought we did fine.

Now that we play a high possession game, I'd seriously consider playing Tel upfront instead of Solanke. The way we are playing we don't create chances with crosses, we played probing balls to feet which requires movement and first touch...

Actually scrap that, Tel's first touch under pressure is poor (his first touch when he's got time is actually superb), so don't think that's a good idea at all...

I think we probably just stick with Solanke for now and buy a half decent Striker in January...
