Yeah, Udogie has done really well against him today. Sometimes that’s the way it goes. Even then could have had a pen and own goal from Udogie!
Nothing new, we always concede possession against teams of equal or better quality to us.Mainoo on Romero ? Why ? Why is there no one in the team correcting this ?
Scored a number for us too, tbf.
Also, some of the efforts he scored in Portugal involved debatable keeping.From their corners they have scored one, hit the bar and had another cleared off the line.
Gonna have to get some height and strength on to stop that
the ref has already carded a Spurs player for the same thing as well.
Mainoo has been poor. So is Eriksen.
disagree about garnacho... his running at their defence has got them back pedalling and means full back can't bomb forward. does need, however, to learn how to go past his man instead of the rashford mode of thinking you can go straight through him
You can't see ETH's stamp on our play because there is no stamp. He has no plan or style.
You suprised it wasn’t higher?I get exhausted watching usSpurs corner deliveries are miles better than ours. Been a problem now for years.
Every time they have a corner I worry they are going to score. When we have a corner, I worry we'll give up a fast break and they will score. Why have we been so poor at both attacking and defending corners for so long. Honestly, it seems like since Fellaini left we have been terrible at them.
It’s spurs fans singing, “he’s one of your own…mason greenwood he’s one of your own”
Yeah. As with OGS, Mou, LvG, Moys
Mainoo?
Spurs fans are so boring. Meh
A big strong defender winning a header against a smaller midfielder? That has never happened before!
I agree, but you know it will be Mainoo who comes off.In a battle vs two pressing teams, the team with more athleticism and technical ability will win. Sadly that's what is happening here with us fielding two teenagers and two 30+ year olds. To be fair to Evans he hasn't shied away from the battle.
I expect Spurs to get plenty more chances second half. I expect us to get a few counters too. It'll all depend on who can be more efficient. There is no way to call who will win this.
Fixed
Kobbie, 18 years old, broke into the first team since preseason
Your solution to fix the midfield is to have three midfielders on at the same time where none of them can retain the ball? Sounds good.We need Casemiro on for Eriksen at half timeNot sure how we are leading this but will take it,need some fresh legs second half we are getting dominated possession wise and onana has to start coming off the line and atleast punching or contesting these corners it's like the degea days of everyone being pinned inside the six yard box,was actually typing rashford is one of the laziest players I've ever seen before he scored but he had a better last 5 minutes or so.Relieved to go in 2-1 up at the break.
We started well but then, suddenly, stopped playing football. Their goal came from a corner we conceded after losing the ball, following the umpteenth punt into midfield we did after about 10 minutes. When we have tried to keep the ball and actually build we've been competitive.
That being said, our attempts to play football have been hamstrung by our right hand side. Especially Dalot and Evans. The latter, especially, has dawdled on the ball and looked baffled as to what to do in possession. Both need to improve massively.
To be fair you could see LVG’s style - it was just fecking boring. The rest were as much a mess as ETHWe're poor at defending corners but I'm not sure if that's something that a best set piece coach would solve. We're a small team, just look at that midfield. Mainoo against Romero is not going to win many headers.
Tottenham set pieces are well executed, it's just difficult to defend against.We are giving the ball away far too easily, yet again, and we are not progressing the ball quick enough. By the time we start to move forward we have virtually the whole Spurs team behind the ball. Once again we have no real menace from corners, just occasionally we get an attempt on goal. Spurs are a real threat at corners and we are rubbish at defending them. Not very good to watch even though we are winning although both goals were great.
Nah he’s been sloppy and pretty ineffective.I understand our idea at set pieces where the smaller players block off the opposition's aerial threats and the bigger lads attack the ball... but it doesn't really work when none of our defenders actually go for the ball at all.
In before Ten Hag sticks McTominay on for Mainoo as a result.Leading at half time
He plays better when he is up there by himself. You can clearly see he's far more comfortable than having a headless McTominay on
Ohh well that makes much more sense.
We are losing physical battles. McT and Casemiro will help . It's not like Eriksen and Mainoo is pulling trees up there.
Sounds good. But it will be Mctominay for MainooA corner for the opposition against us is as good for them as a free kick on the edge of the area.
My thoughts as well. We seem to be doing alright when we are actually trying to play football. But too often we want to get the ball up front with two passes.When is the last time we lost at home when leading at HT?Happy with the lead but papers over the cracks. Scary given the profile of the two teams. The way we are playing isnt sustainable and we are back to individually brilliance only.- Status
