Tottenham vs West Ham: League Cup Match Thread

Yeah, at least twice on Trippier's attempts I've been thinking "Kane would've been there for that" but then I see his touches and his set up play and I realise that even if Llorente can't do what Kane does, he can certainly do a job, and a pretty interesting one at that as he seems to me to be a kind of Gudjohnsen esque player now instead of that classic target man I thought he'd be.

Doesn't look like a defender on the ball at all, head up calm as you like.

It's the goal. He's upped another level of confidence. (like I said he would once he got one).
I now want to see him more aggressive and urgent in his defending. He needs to track quicker and get goal side asap and peck at the attacking player.
I want him to become a bully.

I want at least 4 goals. We are in cruise atm. Hope we up the intensity if only for 20 mins or so in the second half.

Didn't think much of large parts of that half tbh, but bucked our ideas up a bit towards the end of the half. Still, absolutely strolling a cup tie and 2-0 up is ideal stuff so far. Were treated to a lovely opening team goal as well.
Highlight of the half for me?

Clearly needs to ease off on the MDMA.And yet Klopp reckons there weren’t any defenders out there to buy
But United are much more likely to sit back and play on the break themselves....

I don't think that'll matter. To anyone. Except you.

Epic SC poster. Sissokko scores with a really good finish, yet still feels the need to only give him a backhanded compliment.

Good controlled half played in 2nd gear mostly.
Sissoko has been good so far, lots of industry, intelligent running and a lovely confident finish to open our account.
The man looks like he’s enjoying his Football of late.
He’s shown some good mental strength to move on from the nightmare season he had last season and it’s great to see.

I think we're seeing a bit of a major change in strategy in the last few games from Poch. The possession at any cost has been left behind a bit, conceded possession more and push harder. We certainly seem to be getting more goals and opportunities.

What he does do he does with quality, for sue.
Still not convinced he's the player we need - i.e.if kane is out for a stretch - but I do appreciate his attributes.
Would like Tripps and Rose to push round more and knock crosses in early, or even from short; just start feeding him and let him shit the keeper and defenders up in the box and apply pressure to them in there.
