Match Threads Spurs v Chelsea Match Thread - Carabao Cup - 1st Leg

[dirtyh]

Do something poch, anything. We’re being overrun

 

[lol]

we have to pres back up if not we will just keep inviting them to attack us

 

[am_yisrael_chai]

Are substitutions by Spurs forbidden until the final 15 minutes ?

 

[Jaddas]

Being totally overrun and think Poch needs to change shape as I don't think this diamond thing is working. It's like they have an extra player on the pitch.

Problem is, we have no central midfield options. Could really do with fit a Dembele or 2015 Wanyama.

 

[OpenHeartZoo]

Who is Poch meant to bring on? Our midfield is being dominated. Pretty harsh to expect Skipp to come on and sort it out, especially in place of Dele.

 

[yankspurs]

Lamela and Skipp for Dele and Son and go 433, IMO. Possibly leave Son on and take Eriksen off.

 

[$hoguN]

This is how we used to play against the big teams back when we were shit.

Just get shelled?

 

[Nerine]

Jesus fucking Christ. This is horrid. C'mon Poch, throw some more meat on in the middle. All we're doing is defending.

 

[ardiles&villa]

We need to not concede before 70th min so Poch can change it

Need some energy as well. Lamela will provide that.

 

[SlotBadger]

Choose conceding possession.
Choose not making any changes.
Choose your best player being down injured.
Choose life.

 

[Spurs72]

No subs poch cmon

 

[cjbyid]

Oh fuck not kane

 

[$hoguN]

Lamela and Llorente must be candidates to come on here

 

[ajspurs]

Harry said it's his calf, at least it's not a hamstring injury.

 

[dagraham]

Oh fuck. Get up Harry.

He has options. Go three at the back. Switch to 4-2-3-1. Take Son off, put Skipp on and push Alli alongside Kane etc.

 

[wirE]

Kane injured or just playing down the game? Jesus we don't need him off on a stretcher...

 

[Timberwolf]

Dembele would have been great in these type of matches

He's exactly what we're missing. Someone to control the ball in the middle of the park, beat his man and put the rest of the team on the front foot.

 

[lol]

unless poch is doing a phil jackson. what phil use to do is to let the same team stay in even when they are on a losing run just so they can learn how to fight through adversity. so when they get to the playoffs they are already used to the pressure.

i understand that theory but im not quite sure if its what hes doing here
