*** OMT: Tottenham Hotspur vs. Stoke City ***

[ricky2tricky4city]

What was Doherty doing. It always surprises me when a player moves towards space or the ball BUT leaves the only thing that will put that ball in the net.

If you get done by clever movement, fair enough, but the Stoke player is just making a straight run towards the back post. Just stick with that, and all is well.

Kane is not even bothering, non-figuratively just strolling around.

same as Sunday, why play him if he's not gonna put a shift in?

 

[MKSpur]

Jose knew that was going to happen and that’s why he got Son on in advance...

would have given Vinny a run tonight. Kane looks knackered

What is our style of play exactly when we are expected to be the dominant side? Cos after a year + I'm stumped

Hope the opposition spontaneously combust, dodge their ashes and try tap it in?

Don't concede, don't make mistakes, nick something when the opposition make a mistake.

Jose's been doing it for 20 years, should be obvious by now

He's probably realised that Jose is picking him in every game so he's pacing himself for 70 club games and 15 internationals between Sept and June

Doherty is becoming an insult to the name on our shirt!

We tend not to play dominate possession football players and we obviously don't really intend that as our main playstyle so we never look that comfortable doing it.

as long as he's not just waiting for the opportunity to make a stupid tackle and get another 3 months off again

Gary Doherty must be turning in his grave

 

[Dicko]

This felt very comfortable but now I'm worried it might go to pens. [emoji24]

You that confident?

 

[paxtonwolf]

ffs. This has got Stoke 2-1 all over it at the minute

 

[AdamB]

Dele has done ok tonight, but this is another example of how not having a creative player in the front 4 hits us. We used to have Eriksen - we're badly lacking that creative player in those front 4 - hence why Ndombele is way ahead of Dele in the team at the moment

 

[Pirate55]

Dele far too slow there

 

[Bishop]

Good old Dele Dally is still with us. [emoji1787]

Good counter otherwise, we need to do more of that.

if Eriksen was playing in this game none of us would have noticed

 

[AdamB]

Moura has been S H O C K I N G

 

[nayenezgani]

The players look absolutely fudging ruined, most struggling to break into a sprint. What's the point of Jose's 'gentle' tactics if the players can't muster a performance against these cloggers.

 

[DeanoAustin]

There was little movement in front of him to be fair. Both Kane and Moura just carried on predictable runs and were marked.

 

[monkeybarry]

Do we have a system?
