This. Still early days with Ange, but the future looks really promising. Does feel like we got our Tottenham back. It Does highlight how bad a decision it was to appoint Jose and Conte by the board but also, the fanbase, felt like we demanded the latter to the point we were about to march down Seven Sisters with torches and pitchforks. Never again.
Yeah and I said as much at the time. It's not just coaching it's also confidence and morale.
I think Richy is a really highly-strung man, desperate to succeed. A couple of good matches and he’d be a great asset, even if he just created the space for others to score. Dunno how much time you would give him though. No signs of us wanting rid this summer though. He could do with a break and be worked on, which means ‘kin cough up Levy!Oh my gosh I fucking LOVED the way we played today. What a job Ange has done already. We look a team, we are brave and the passing is fantastic. Two class goals and it could have been more. I swear I almost had tears in my eyes watching us progress up the pitch with simple passing football. Maddison, VDV, Udogie, Bissouma, Sarr...almost everyone top class apart from Richarlison whose touch is appalling for a professional footballer and with him being a Brazilian player I find it quite astonishing. He murdered two or three moves because there was no link up between his brain and his feet. The subs were made at the exact moment I said to my mate that I would make changes now. And they were very good subs too. I swear Perisic had 100% pass completion. He and Pierre restored the composure of the team after a sticky period of the game where Bournemouth were pushing and we were beginning to drop off. How many years has it looked like our team has no idea how to play football and now this! I am in awe of what Ange has us producing in such a short space of time.
Wow, he was pretty poor today but I don't think it's in his top 5 worst performances for us let alone all time striker performances.
mate it’s a combination of all of these things!
He may not be but those were his first ~20 minutes of the season. I'm willing to be patient. I was pleased to see him offering for the ball, getting a lot of touches, and getting involvement in some action around the box in the late stages.
Gio: direction of ball 10/10; pace of ball
Completely agree with this. He's a good player, as he showed at Everton. He's suffered whilst in Kane's shadow and is now so desperate to succeed as the main man that he's falling over trying too hard. He just needs one to go in somehow and we'll see the player we bought. It was right to sub him today because you could see his confidence was shot, but his misery was a sign of how much he wants it. I still think he could become a success at Spurs and I think Post is the right kind of bloke to nurture that self-belief. The whole team seems so much happier and relaxed in the way they're playing.
Basing it off previous I assume you saw the United game when they came on and did the same solid job? I am not saying keep them to start them am I? I am saying they're fine as off the bench squad players in situations such as last week and today.
you should probably watch it first then, this team is very different now with the way we play and i said ages ago Davies would work so well in this formation and the way Ange plays. He solidified what was going on but kept us playing great football, he also made some lovely passes. Davies is a great squad player and we are lucky we have had him in the team.
