Tottenham Hotspur vs Huddersfield Town - Match Thread

[Johnny J]

Has dembele had a lung, heart and new legs transplant from a 20 year old or something, because in the last few weeks he is beasting every game I see him play and to think some spurs fans thought he was finished.

I think Dembele's ongoing, long term hip problems contribute a lot to his form. We've been told it'll always be there, and surely sometimes it is more of an issue that others, even if he's able to play.

Schindler's limp

 

[thinktank]

Stinks for Pritch he's got a knock, but very good for us.

 

[Johnny J]

Schindler on injury list?

Is this a pun?!

 

[Lilbaz]

I think he has been carrying a knock that he's only recently shaken off. The worry is that it seems to come and go.

Lemon probbly cooked him dinner.

Poor Pritchard. His injury problems have held his career back. Otherwise, he would be an England player by now.

 

[Pellshek]

Lack of sharpness since the goal. Excellent half, but just need to stay on it 100%.

 

[SpursD22]

Davies has been poor so far

 

[Bus-Conductor]

If only we had a little more tempo, vision and urgency from our midfield, Eriksen could spend a little less time in the middle third and more in the final third.

We’re a good team, who play good football, with some great players but we move the ball so fucking slowly through the middle of the pitch.

I don’t mean go the other way and have two complete risk taking, defensively compromised CM’s, just at least a little more ambition and urgency at times.

 

[ardiles]

Not one of Davies' better days so far.

 

[Hoops]

Everything Davies touches turns to shit.

 

[Hazelton]

Would love to see Lucas in the second half, this game is perfect for him.

 

[yusrisafri]

Apart from the goal, weve been rather drab with too much slow sideways passing. Very frustrating to watch. Biggest culprit Dier.

 

[Indisguise]

Everything Davies touches turns to shit.

Interesting twist on the Midas touch...

 

[Chinaspur]

Dele on a yellow - I’d have Lucas on for him second half

 

[Hoops]

Not one of Davies' better days so far.

When does he have a good day?

 

[Romulus]

GGood half, great intensity

 

[Bus-Conductor]

As a general rule, is it technically correct for the FB to show the winger the inside, as Serge did there? I'm not a tactics guy.

Depends what footed he is. ie not clever showing Mahrez inside when he’s cutting in from the right...etc

 

[zoneD]

...Dier and Dembele have been excellent recovering and recirculating possession to supply our attack...
COYS

 

[WiganSpur]

Not great but not awful either. Need a second one to make it less twitchy later on. Wouldn't change anything for now.
