Match Threads Spurs vs Cardiff City - Match Thread

[SdB]

Really don't think these tactics cater to Harry, far too deep

Kane is playing the same way he does for England. Perhaps that tells us more about where he's at at the moments rather than assumptions about us playing a formation that apparently doesn't suit him.

Winks needs to grab this game by the neck and start influencing plays. Way too passive against a bottom-feeder.

 

[JimmyG2]

Outpassing them with ease.
Mainly Sanchez back to Hugo.
Convincingly unconvincing.
Could be 2-1 down but should be 3 up.
Revising my initial opinion of Moura
He ain't all that apart from pace.
Townsend had that.

God help me, it's curry for tea tonight!

Quick finger up the bum tonight should help prevent a day on the loo tomorrow lol

Lamela has not been called up for his NT and he would have no other competitive game for the next two weeks. Don’t see why we need to rest him today.

Well against Barca, with Lamela in the 10 role, it freed Harry up a lot more, meaning he was a lot more dangerous

So glad we got that early goal. If we'd gone in at 0-0, the second half would have been so frustrating. Just need to keep our concentration and be more clinical after the break.

Nah - he is having to drop deep to get the ball - this is not his best role.

He had gotten some form over the last couple of matches playing up front. But, playing deeper takes him out of his game.

I'll let the missus know.

How is winks looking?

Handsome as ever

 

[SdB]

I'm gonna come out and say it; Sissoko has done some good work for us today

Have to agree.
Doesn't take away from the fact that he plays the game as if he is at his first roller disco and cannot pass.

With his eyes...lol

Maybe but he over ran a bit on Wednesday, You don't want his ham to go as well. Better safe than sorry at this point

You can tell he is getting frustrated with Moura also as Moura is taking up a lot of positions that Kane would want.

Son and Moura are trying too hard, they need to relax. It is however understable considering how inept our central midfield is... putting our attacking players under undue pressure to take their chances. When Alli and Eriksen feature we create a lot of chances and normally take 2 or 3 of them. As it stands our 3 deadly forwards are living off scraps.

Did it? Any analysis of Kane's heat map to back that view

 

[worcestersauce]

Terrific start allowed them the opportunity to come back into it then went up through the gears, seems like most if not all of the chances we created, and wasted, were in the last ten or fifteen minutes. Positive for the second half.

Hope you’ve got a mattress protector lol

He's been decent but he's always got a poor turnover in him - not Robinson Crusoe out there today though tbf

Think maybe cause of injuries he can’t do 2games a week
