Tottenham vs Bournemouth: Match Thread

[Bus-Conductor]

But it clearly didn’t hit his arm Gale you fucking prick

Dier is so pointless in this type of game. He's been spending too much time with Jordan Henderson.

Could quite easily play Winks and Eriksen in there. Poch will never give up his CDM though.

 

[Don_Felipe]

This all seems like the Swansea game...

 

[rossdapep]

Why wouldn't they? They know how bad we've been at Wembley.

Yeah, that's been bugging me all week to be honest. Pundits and alike kept saying Bournemouth style of play would make it easier for us. They were never gunna turn up and try play expansive football.

IDK principles? It makes sense but it also made sense that we should have done it to liverpool but never did.

 

[g_harry]

No mention of Son at all.

 

[King of Otters]

Genuinely considering turning this off. It's actually depressing.

 

[rossdapep]

We need to really work their keeper. Are we overthinking our play?

 

[yusrisafri]

We're too slow in moving the ball. Everytime each player has the ball he thinks for 2 seconds first on what needs to be done, and then the moment passes by

It's not completely untrue, but we don't have match fit CMs I'd rather see. Suppose one could argue Eriksen for Dier, subsequently Llorente for Eriksen after the move of the latter, and a clean 442.

 

[WiganSpur]

My answer is a mental problem and the length of the pitch making it more difficult to string passes together. We have to find a way to counter attack them and a way to do that is pressing higher.

 

[Romulus]

FFS the same old fucking trash

 

[SpursSince1980]

Very safe stuff from us. Not a single player doing well. Perhaps with the exception of Vertonghen. Everyone else poor. Especially Son. I actually can’t believe how utterly weak and gormless he is.

 

[g_harry]

We need to really work their keeper. Are we overthinking our play?

Yes, i always think in this type of game if we cant break them down we should put more pressure on by taking shots at goal.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Stupid ball Son, just tap it right side

 

[The Apprentice]

Son for crying out loud. That was easy.

I don't think it's overthinking that's the problem. I don't think they are thinking at all.

 

[mano-obe]

Very flat so far no real tempo. Sissoko for the second half for me at some point to go on some bulldozer runs

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

I just looked up and they had every player within 40 yards of their goal line. Is that the way they like to play?

The way we have hammered them over the past few games what were you expecting. Howe has noted how Burnley and Swansea set up to play us.

 

[elDiablo]

Winks got the ball right?
