So we're coming to the match on the back of a 4-0 defeat, Arse on the back of a 5-0 victory.
But I'm expecting we'll put in some effort for this derby with the excited crowd n' all.
So its 1-2 to Arse from me. (y)
Yes, running stats/other stats should indicate an issue .
Eye-tests say that the forwards aren't closing down defenders and midfielders are sometimes leaving the defence short.
Part of the eye-test is the oppo (eg Newcastle) completely shutting our defence down in stark contrast... forcing Vic...
Absolutely, many seem oblivious to this huge Spurs flaw. Ange no longer seems to be able to get the players up for it. We'll probably see a one-off upsurge for the Arse match, but consistency has gone out the window
I hope his 'growth ' mantra proves correct but we've seen the opposite of...
Yes, but another important thing about coming to a league so rich as the Prem is the top quality opposition managers. I thought Eddie Howe did a really professional job on us for example.
I just hope Ange is learning the ropes atm .
One of the central tenets of Ange style is surely a heavy press of the opposition defence.
This is something we don't see anymore. There is always an easy outball. Sonny goes racing up to the goalie holding the ball, who then easily passes out to unmarked defenders. This is in stark contrast to...
Ok, I've got it now. We lose 4-0 (Only luck preventing much worse) and can't complain as it depresses you.
If you step outside the Spurs bubble you'll find comments here are in line with commentator/neutral observers/match reviewers.
Yep, says it all. Looks like arrogance from a manager with no experience at a high level.
The big question is can he learn and adapt ? No sign of that so far in a man of 58, not a shred of self analysis/questioning/acceptance of responsibility in any pressers so far . Lots of 'we're growing'...
Today Newcastle dominated at corners.
All corners seem to find a Newcastle head, stats say something like 80% did so. Difficult to feel so unconcerned.
You almost got it right but it's strictly SPURS players who are suddenly tired..not opposition players. They, miraculously can run all match.
Hate excuses like this.
If a player stops playing well...that's why people change their minds on him, why is that so hard to understand ?
Complaining about people for expressing what their eyes tell them and then somehow being a bad supporter because of it, is an epidemic on here.
Slightly surprising imo.
Timo went to the byline and crossed several times...Johnson did great to get into goal scoring positions..but I don't remember him getting past his fullback
and crossing like that. Mebbe I forgot.
This is the maddest bit of the whole shebang....he does have a right foot. He smashed in a glorious top corner goal rightfooted to win a match a few months back (forget which), he's also assisted with right foot passes.
Kulu's an enigma wrapped in an er... another enigma or something .
Luton's press was better than our by some margin imo. Almost all the time Luton had a very easy out ball. Disappointing we can't organise one.
They also allowed Vic to come as far forward with the ball as far he liked
