Tottenham Vs Middlesbrough: Match Thread

[djw1973]

We should be ahead, Kane should gave had a couple by now. We need to have more shots and get the ball into the box quicker. Score quickly in the 2nd half, if not this might be a 0-0. When we play Dier in the CB role, we struggle to break teams down. He should be in CM.

Webb defending Clatters is a disgrace. He's looking RIGHT AT that incident.

These refs ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

Only caught the last 10 mins and seen the Valdes incident. How the hell has Clattenburg seen it and decided to do nothing. It's a red all day long. Fucking hate Clattenburg, how his profile is so high is beyond me. The guy is useless.

We're laying very well, just a atter of time before we score

Chirpy???

These threads are cringe worthy.

WE...WILL...WIN....
Only a matter of time till we score. We've played well, impressed by Son on the left.

If it's still goalless at 70 I hope we just go all out, Janssen and Sissoko for defensively minded players.
Draw might aswell be a defeat with how the table looks

No Dembele doesn't need to push up nor do we need Winks, he's sitting deep enough so that When Boro attack he can win the ball back, with Dembele and Wanyama we're just pressurising the Boro midfield and they keep losing the ball. Our attacking and build up play is fine we're just not finishing these chances.

He's depriving Eriksen of spaces right now.. If Eriksen is not seeing balls, we have one less important players to create.. Dembele is best at shielding the ball and move past one or two to draw out the space before releasing to someone.. He is just making safe passes throughout the half..

Be interesting to see if we can get the goal how or if the dynamics change because they will have to come out a bit more.

 

[Shadydan]

They should swap roles at the very least, Wanyama shouldn't constantly be ahead of Dembele in normal play.

Dembele is recycling the play, he's actually playing really well as the deeper playmaker besides why would you want Dembele further forward when he has little end product?

Big difference between us and a team like Chelsea is we have son (decent) and they have hazard (world class)

 

[kr1978]

Ok, we haven't scored but we have been in complete control. Don't get the negativity.

Totally agree and started before the match in some cases-I would get it if we were struggling but we are 2nd in the league and there is still loads of the match to play

 

[Challows]

Son should not be on the left.

Wanyama was a good purchase but we've wasted money on Sissoko and Janssen.

What have Sissoko and Jansen got to do with that half?!?

Don't understand the criticism of Son. Sublime cross to Kane for a header that Kane should've scored. Great cross for the offside goal. he has been the most dangerous player.

 

[YiddoInPoland]

Draw far too many, hope this isn't another Sunderland. Missed the first half, hopefully second is better

Yeah, they have more money than us.

So if he gets pushed further forward that means he'll deprive Eriksen of more space

 

[Grey Fox]

two things in our favour !) can't remember the last time we didn't score in the Paxton end and 2) they will tire mentally and physically

Can't miss an opportunity to have a dig

We've been threatening when we speed up things..need to up the tempo in my opinion.And have to do better on our set pieces.conversion rate is poor
