Dragusin looked well off it
Micky and Richy aside, I thought the whole team lacked urgency, Udogie especially.
I agree but I don't think we helped ourselves one bit, far too many passes went astray or straight to Everton players either in the middle of the park or crucially just outside our area in the last 3rd, yes I gwt that it happens at times when the opposition apply pressure but I felt today in particular many of those occasions were we gave the ball away was simply as a result of unforced errors and below average crap execution woth the passing. I'd say it was close to being some of the worst passing I've seen this season. I'm hoping it was a bad day at the office on that front and the optimistic part of me thinks there will be some improvement. I don't even think it was down to one or two players on the sloppy passing stair I'd put it much higher than that today and if we kept it up we were always going to pay even against a team struggling for goals and we duly did.Everton didn't play like a side battling relegation though. They deserved that draw and set up brilliantly to stop spurs getting any rhythm. Completely dominated the cm area.
Yes. Passing was all over the place. Has been poor last few games too.I agree but I don't think we helped ourselves one bit, far too many passes went astray or straight to Everton players either in the middle of the park or crucially just outside our area in the last 3rd, yes I gwt that it happens at times when the opposition apply pressure but I felt today in particular many of those occasions were we gave the ball away was simply as a result of unforced errors and below average crap execution woth the passing.

VDV look by far the most assured.
Of course, the usual confirmation bias. A lot of our players gave the ball away way too often, Maddison passed too late when we could’ve had clear chances and lost possession instead etc. PEH breaking the lines was the reason we got the chance for the first goal and he showed very good technique on several occasions - but let’s just pretend he was utter garbage and the only one who lost the ballI thought PEH was dreadful today. Lost count how many times he gave the ball away. Udogie also didn't impress. Like most, Richy ad VdV the best.....but otherwise meh.
Yeah. He was the least of our problems today.Of course, the usual confirmation bias.

This is bang on. It was only his passing that let him down on a few occasions. Unfortunately, that is all most people will remember/focus on.Of course, the usual confirmation bias.
