*** OMT Tottenham v Burnley ***

[ringo]

Keep slowing play down moving forward and then dreadful passing. Not good at all.

Can someone explain to me the benefits of 5 at the back?

We dont have a 6th CB, so can only play 5

 

[MKSpur]

Can someone explain to me the benefits of 5 at the back?

Create less chances so we can’t blame the attacking players?

Sounds like I'm not missing out on anything not watching the game.

Me to. Following it on here while the wife gets ready.

 

[AdamB]

Que, bringing on another defender. Or goalkeeper.

Aurier and Sessegnon are attacking wing backs, and have the energy to get up and back. Vertonghen and Tanganga are CBs

O FFS - These are simple passes.

 

[Modric THFC]

It doesn't matter who is missing you set the team up in a coherent way.
Playing against a narrow Burnley team he sets up with a really narrow 3 up front, 2 in central midfield (against 4 sometimes), 3 at the back. Meaning all the width and forward momentum has to come from the wing backs. But he then picks two centre backs as wing backs.
It's unbelievable. Literally playing into their hands. If you got Dyche to decide our tactics it wouldnt be far off this. There are three players on the bench who would make better wing backs.

How can an attacking corner end up at lloris within 10 seconds?

 

[Hashegotthesackyet?]

We simply can’t do ANYTHING right

 

[Bedfordspurs]

We need players

This lot just are not very good.

We have a starting 11 mainly made up of squad players



Winks has been giving the ball away a lot as well

Not in the same league as the players today for doing it

 

[Benny_Lad]

Dele crying out to pass to someone there but 2 of our players just holding hands jogging on the left.

 

[Danishfurniturelover]

Still.

No European football next season.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Good Lord Toby. Are they all drunk?

 

[DeanoAustin]

Me to. Following it on here while the wife gets ready.

She coming on up front?

 

[thfcsteff]

Can someone explain to me the benefits of 5 at the back?

No.

 

[Kandi1977]

Lots of positive body language out there....

 

[ringo]

I think this is as bad as watching AVB's side bore the opposition into submission.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

It was an uncontested header to a weak float with loads of time and space, you don’t get to make a clearance there.

Whatever he did he fudged it up. Clearances need to go further than 15 yards.

Don’t care
It’s was 3 touches after the handball including the shot
How is that a be phase of play?
They call offsides back after 17 passes but their not new phases?
They called a foul and a handball back after 2 minutes
The phase of play thing is perfection

 

[paxtonwolf]

You can keep showing me that replay, and I will not change my mind. He clearly gets an advantage from the bounce off his hand

 

[Moby]

She coming on up front?

No. He’s coming on her front.
