Match Threads Match Thread- Sheffield Utd vs Spurs

[Gareth88]

7-0 spurs

You are one of many that have said that.

Jose should be thanking his lucky stars there are no fans in the stadium.

Now I've seen the line up for todays game, I feel its even more justified

I’m excited for Rodon. Really hope and think he can make the spot his own, would also save us having to buy a central defender in the summer if he can be as good as he’s been when I’ve watched him for Wales and Swansea. Has everything to be a top premier league defender, only lacks turning speed (like Dier). Fast in a straight line though, and aerial dominance is vital for our set piece woes.

 

[dbspurs]

Anyone just see Jose's pre game interview on Sky?

 

[idontgetit]

On the positive side, you've got N'dombele playing deeper but it needs the full backs to seriously contribute.

 

[mil1lion]

Dele was very bad as an 8 when Poch tried to play him there, like seriously dreadful. He has to be a 10/second striker sort of player to be effective and there's no place for that role now. Directly replacing Son is the closest to it but he doesn't have Son's pace so that's a no-go.

Agree with everything you say.

Indeed, the deeper Alli gets the worse he gets

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Feels like we say this every week but its a big game for Bergwijn, time to step up

 

[SamR]

Dele made some sarky comment on his Xbox/PlayStation live feed thing the other day about not playing.

Can't really blame him though? Plays reasonably well when given the odd chance and then banished from squad? I don't really see a problem with a player moaning about game time. At least they want to play. It must be rubbish for him at the moment

No, did he say anything noteworthy?

 

[riggi]

It was a tad unprofessional..

It was. The lad needs guidance. Nothing wrong with being pissed off with not getting a game.

 

[freeeki]

Agree. What has Gedson done to get in ahead of Dele?

Maybe the question should be “What has Dele done to get left out?”

 

[defoes5]

Anyone just see Jose's pre game interview on Sky?

Anything interesting?

 

[dbspurs]

No, did he say anything noteworthy?

He was asked what he tells them at half time.

He said that he tells them to be dominant, attack and kill the game.

 

[Leigh]

Like the look of this line up.

Let’s be optimistic. 3-0 Spurs! ?

Ha just said the same. I don’t have an issue with it either but I would prefer him to have it out with Jose behind closed doors. Which I expect he has to some degree.

 

[TheTanguy]

He said that he tells them to be dominant, attack and kill the game.

Very good if true.

Have a moan in-house though, don't do it through social media, doing that perfectly displays his petulance.

 

[dtxspurs]

Well that's trying something new. Let's give them the benefit of doubt and see if it works.

We played this same formation vs wolves

 

[pedrodelawasp]

Interesting line-up. I guess a sort of 3-4-2-1 going forward?

————-/——-Hugo
——-Dier——- Rodon —Davies
Aurier— Højbjerg- Ndombele Reguilon
———Bergwijn ————-Son
———————Kane

This backs up what one of the itk was saying last week that his mate at the ground always hears the staff telling them to attack, i really don't think it's Mou that's the problem, it's just the lack of creativity and confidence of the players going in their shell and trying to see the game out and leave Kane and son to grab another
