England isn’t the premier league. It’s a lower standard where you deal with the cards you have based on the players from your country
The premier league is much harder. You get to buy players for a start to make your team better and IMO england would be better with Bellingham box to box instead of Mainoo and then Maddison (assuming he is actually fit) okaying the 10 role, linking up with Bellingham. But it’s got no relevance to Tottenham or the prem. but just to add to it… Bellingham played dox to box at Dortmund too dont forget, and started for England there. Yes he is having a great season for Madrid playing there although he was awful midweek, but that’s after a 9 day break
And I’m not even focusing I everyone else because they aren’t playing out of position like son. We look awful through the middle, which is where the counters come from because we’re having to play son there. That’s not son’s fault, although he could do a lot more to make it work. I think that may be why he was pulled today as Ange saw that. You defend from the front. Every good team does. If your start point for that is broken, your other players have to do something
And you’re right about the others. They have had some really poor games (Micky today was his first).
But according to many, we lost today because weren’t missed two sitters…. Yeah thats the view. It’s odd because neither were sitters and the second one if son was on the left, he would do better than Werner imo. Bu5 we have people blaming the attacking wide players for the defensive issues because were exposed elsewhere
Every position can be upgraded upon and that should always be the case. The key for us is the CF and 6 over anything else for me as that’s where it all goes wrong. No ball retention up top and no one fighting the fires when teams counter us. The wide forward options are fine and things that can addressed if we sort the other two issues out. I’d argue full back cover is more key than them TBH
