Luka Modric
no he still plays brilliant but you don't see the stuff he used to do 3-4 years ago.
like cutting in abruptly with the ball on the inside of the foot
the thing that Trossard did to Dier in the Brighton game
he's too predictable these days

Luka Modric
.... and Doherty injured. He was the wildcard that wreaked havoc in the opposition's defence, even if on the opposite side to Royal. Sess and Reggie clearly are less capable than Doherty to Conte.

Which group of players? There's only 3 left now from Poch's peak team

Chris Waddle
He gambled
Opposition knew he would run off the ball so they had to think about him
With royal it’s like watching a fudging crab

thats the secret to Conte's wingbacks - you need BOTH far forwards for maximum effect. even if they are just a Doherty or a Royale.

100%
I’ve heard how brick sess is but him with Doherty is very very different than anyone with royal
We are Tottenham

At least our away fans are loyal and always vocal..they deserve so much more from all these years of dedicated support!
I always feared enough wasn’t made about the loss of Doherty. Because of Contes insistence on playing wingbacks it really does hit us hard. Never thought I’d hear myself say this, but Dohertys injury more than anything else could cost us Champions League football….

I was thinking exactly that during the game. I really hope the players remember it was Matty Cash next season and preferably Cuti Romero.

He's the reason Kulusevski looked so good and has now had two poor games. Their interchange work perfectly, Royal/Kulusevski doesn't. Major, major loss!

Lloris, Davies, Dier, Son, Kane all started today.

At least we got a point.
We knew and were discussing on here, that we can be a bit flat in attack. Everyone ridiculed Kulu to RWB with Moura on, but that almost worked only a cynical foul stopping Moura from getting in. I think nerves played a part today. The pressure doesn't get this side playing better. They are too insecure. Too many of the players are 'peripheral'. The wing-backs are not key players - and they need to be. We were too narrow, and when we did go wide we didn't use the ball as well as we needed to. Partly because Bretford diligently tracked us. We needed to moved the quicker and more accurately, and the 'peripheral' players - wingbacks, midfielders, CBs, had to step up and deliver more. A little sloppy and not enough from 70% of the team. I don't blame most of these players, they are not elite level, but to win we needed more from them.
Conte must take some of the blame as we knew this result was quite possible without more down the wings, or without more from the non-key players. A manager like Poch would have Sessengon more confident and us using him more. He just looked rusty and low on confidence again. Dier's passing was terrible. Hogjberg when he gets into good positions needs to use the ball better. Davies, Son, Royal...have to make crosses count.
It wasn't all bad, but we needed Moura on sooner imo.

Well I hope you’re pleased with yourself? Clearly Conte stuck this OMT on the wall before they went out today.

Blame Sess for his own poor performance please. Poor crossing, poor use of the ball etc those things all fall on him.

Breaking news - Gutterboy embroiled in blatant misinformation scandal...Sources claim the incident was “easier to predict than our current game plan/ tactics...”

Not really
Can easily be to do with space, time and speed of the action
And of course match fitness too
What’s royals excuse for being scared to attack
