Match Threads Burnley Vs Spurs

[DarwinSpur]

We grew into the game but are struggling to find any clear attacking threat.
COYS!

 

[Arden]

This is the sort of game Son struggles in when there’s no space to run into might suit Moura better for all his limitations

 

[ReadieSpur]

1. Burnley press like hell.
2. We need a new right back. Everything breaks down when it goes out wide to him.

 

[SlotBadger]

I get the sentiment but Son had 2 assists literally last game.

Neither of which required quick thinking. Point being, Kane plays that pass every time. Son just doesn’t have the awareness to consistently it.

 

[mdharris]

Bergwijn for Royal would be my choice sub. But Doherty Second choice, cause some havoc by getting into the box.

 

[DarwinSpur]

Id be tempted to take off Emerson and bring in Kulu central and have Lucas on the right

So go to a back four? Or play Lucas rwb?

 

[WiganSpur]

This is our problem. The ability to create openings at pace. We just don't have the intelligence in the team.

The problem is out wide. Might as well defend us as narrowly as possible with Emerson and Sess at WB which then limits space for Kane, Son etc and makes it difficult for the midfield to find them. Some proper wing backs on either side and suddenly opponent has to get out to them, switch of plays become effective and the space opens up.

Risky to bring on wingers there this early but should be done on 70-75 if it's still 0-0.

Not much left to to say about Royal. Still laughing some of you seem to hold out hope for him. If he plays a 6/10 rather than the usual 2/10 and gets bigged up lol.

I like Royal…







when he’s benched

 

[philll]

Perish the thought that we'd like to watch someone talk about *our* game in half time. I know it's been shit but why are we watching week-old highlights of a totally different match?

 

[hughy]

Nothing in it. The difference is we've played badly and they've payed well by their standards. If we can introduce any modicum of quality in the second half we'll win this.

 

[arunspurs]

Left side : Sessegnon wont take on anyone and Son wont make the overlapping runs either. Both pedestrian.

Right side : Kulusevski taking some great position in pocket but Emerson is playing in a alternate universe where he doesnt see Kulusevski

 

[daveduvet]

Sessegnon and Emerson just ain't good enough for this system. None of them have been really bad today by any means just clear and obvious they're not good enough.

Don’t usually post ‘negative’ responses. But I think sess is decent

 

[bloodzeed]

3 shots 0 on target shocking

 

[SA_Spurs]

have to give credit to burnley - they've played well and they have been intent to cut down spaces and press spurs quite high at times. we did come back into it towards the end of the half tho. i expect us to move the ball faster in 2nd half and we should create some spaces as burnley players did seem to tire out towards the end of the half - still all to play for! COYS!

 

[ReadieSpur]

Surely Lucas can't be any worse than Royal at rwb?

 

[ShelfWatcher]

Neither WB gives the threat we need
But maybe Emerson gives a bit of aerial cover we might need.
I doubt anything changes at HT, maybe Bergwijn for Sess after 60

 

[JCRD]

So go to a back four? Or play Lucas rwb?

Lucas RWB definitely

Emerson is better defensively than Lucas but ill take the risk

 

[Tarricko]

Sess has been tidy enough but not very progressive, just safe. Maybe it's a confidence thing but I would like to see him be a bit more adventurous.

This is why I enjoy watching Reguilon. He's a risky player and does some stupid things but he's 100mph, fully committed and he's fun to watch.

 

[therealGlenn]

Don’t usually post ‘negative’ responses. But I think sess is decent

I actually like sess, but his lack of aggressiveness in getting forward is a worry…might just be confidence

 

[idontgetit]

Can't wait till we can replace Emerson on that right side

We could just play Moura instead, either as a wing-back or just take off a CB and put him RWF while Kulu moves inside.
