Predictable?

[wozzahotspurs]

While watching the Pompy game something seemed to dawn on me and thinking about it i have actually done it in most if not all our games this season, even our two wins in the cups.

Our passing is sooo predictable i have found myself second guessing our next pass and 9 times out of 10 getting it right.

Woody, to jenas who take 3 touchs go's in a cirle and back to dawson who either humps it or passes to the right back (i wont name one as its always different then again in the middle across to the other side.

i just think if i can guess there passing movement after 5 minutes then our opponantes must be able to.

I love tottenham to bits i do but our football is stale and very un ramos like, wheres the sivilla play?

Come on you spurs ill be there sunday and we will beat hull.

There are a couple of reasons why we are predictable.

1. Lack of technical ability. Jenas is not the greatest passer of the ball. Has little vision, doesnt seem to know what he is going to do until he has had time to control the ball then get his head up. Zokora isnt a good passer in terms of creativity/passing forward. O'Hara has some ability, Huddlestone and Modric have lots, but they arent helped by...

2. Lack of movement off the ball by anyone other the strikers (and with only one of them upfront thats not enough). Every pass goes back because that is where most of our men are. There isnt an understanding to be fluid, so we need the wide men and full backs to get forward on the wings, and for one or two of the 3 central midfielders to get up with the striker and beyond to give us options. Number of times we have played a ball down the channel for a striker to chase only to then just stand and watch rather than support. It shows a lack of belief/confidence/commitment/ability/work rate

3. Understanding. Chopping and changing the lineup, lots of new players, it isnt helping

Nail hit on the proverbial.

players do not think before they pass .. just a bunch of headless chicken
