Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal - Match Day Pre Season Friendly - KO 2.00 PM

[13VanDerBale13]

Very poor all over the pitch, hardly surprising considering this is the same group of players at our disposal

 

[EireYid]

I feel like im watching us under Mourinho.

 

[Erm33]

Desperately need an Eriksen or Bale replacement. Someone with some real quality offensively. Just buying runners isn't gonna create us goals. I don't see Tanguy or Lo Celso as the answer either.

 

[bsinghd]

This is a poor game, no team pressing so Arsenal play it around at the back and ping it wide because Dele has no positional sense and is too slow with the ball. He is not a central midfielder. It’s pointless playing our front three if there’s no one in midfield capable of putting in a decent through ball.

 

[jonnyp]

We keep pissing away possession needlessly with shit passes.

 

[cjbyid]

I feel like im watching us under Mourinho.

Yup, that's all I'm getting from this too.

 

[Arden]

Guess we can hope they have been doing double fitness sessions and that’s why they are knackered

 

[punky]

Never change Dele ?

 

[Timberwolf]

Still think people need to relax a bit.

- Son will largely be on the left once Kane is ready or we sign a new striker. Lucas and Bergwijn won't both play most games.
- Lo Celso should come into that Dele position and he's so much in possession.
- We're lacking our new star CB, our new tricky winger and our best player, in Kane.
- We'll also probably have a new RB before long.
- If we're lucky Ndombele might actually get fit sometime in 2021 and make an appearance.

This lineup doesn't represent the team we'll be watching most of the season.

I feel like im watching us under Mourinho.

It's literally the same group of players. What do people expect after a handful of games and a few weeks under a new coach?

 

[Amo]

It's nowhere near as bad as this thread makes it seem. We spent the first 15 minutes controlling the pitch from within their half. Now we're testing our resolve without the ball. Both show reasons for optimism.

 

[idontgetit]

Classic Spurs, start brilliantly and then decide to do the opposite of what was working for you earlier.

 

[Darth Vega]

Completely unnecessary from Dele

 

[ardiles]

Aurier looked good when he came on against Chelsea, not sure why everyone is so keen to sell him.

I think he wants to leave the club

 

[paulcumpstone]

Bad last 15 minutes. Paases been played with hope rather than conviction. Sons not in the game as a forward and only really moura looka lively. Rest very average when we have the ball.

 

[Trix]

Looks like we are fully Zonal marking now rather than man for man. Not a fan usually but it makes sense considering how well we managed man to man last season

 

[$hoguN]

Completely unnecessary from Dele

The tackle?

 

[InBlackAndWhite]

Classic Spurs, start brilliantly and then decide to do the opposite of what was working for you earlier.

Yes, that first 90 seconds was amazing.

 

[paulcumpstone]

Bergwijn again dreadful. Never attempts to run with the ball

 

[kaz Hirai]

Dele and bergwjin been especially poor so far
