Match Threads Spurs vs Fulham - Match Thread

[kitchen]

I think we deserve to be in the lead, and we've had enough chances, but Fulham have also had moments where they could have scored, and in general I think this 3-5-2 (or 5-3-2 if you prefer) has been an absolute load of bollocks. Like we're copying the England world cup tactics, right down to Alli in central midfield and trying to turn a wide forward into a central striker. It's not helping us with the build up, it doesn't help certain individuals, and it's not helping us to press either.

Yes it's only week two, I don't think any football fan expects their team to be at 100% at this point, but I think that's been a really messy half of football.

Respectfully disagree. Eriksen has dropped in to midfield as often as Alli in this game, and we used this tactic a lot in the past, particularly 2016/17. We've looked coherent and have controlled the game. Everyone seems to know their role except Moura who has scored despite not always knowing where to be on the pitch.

Fulham have looked dangerous with balls in behind, but that's always the case with us and our press/high line.

Certainly a better performance than last week....

We are top of the league by the way

Several of our players look off form but Moura’s Goal was a thing of beauty. Top quality goal from a top quality player.

For the PEN on Kane, of course!

Seen the Pen incident quite a few times albeit on a not totally clear stream. I would be pissed off if that was given against us.

Looks like Kane still lacking strength falling over again, again may be clearer on MOTD

Wow Poch didn’t celebrate Moura’s goal, was he really that pissed with the ref?

Love to see Winks get some minutes today.

Plenty of quality on the bench (not as good as West Hams mind )

I'd play Winks ahead of Dier against this kind of team - just sitting back.

Btw, this is the best Dele has looked in a long time. He is looking excellent in a more reserved role and still being able to get forward into the box.

I'm no psychiatrist but Dele's head seems to be in a good place. Well on his game.

It was stone wall

 

[Adam456]

Sorry, but how did the goal happen?

Yet another poor, blocked cross

Talk about winning the argument for me

Might want to watch that again mate.

Wakey, wakey Tottenham

 

[TheChosenOne]

FFS wake up

Playin Dier in cm when we are playing 5 in defensive is so counterproductive

Looked like he got his foot stood on first time I saw it.

Our trademark early second half sloppiness is back again.

Anywhere else on goal there, Alli....

Actually Fosu Mensah stuck out his foot and Kane stepped on it.

Yeah quite a few empty seats around but not surprised. Where are you sat?

On my nice comfy sofa

Too straight, unlucky
