It seems that they will regard a draw as a good result, if they cannot do a smash and grab job. Will need to score first to open them out in the final third.
They've set up to be solid, but they're looking to break and use set-pieces as their main weapons. The two up front keeps our back three honest and it's stopping them from getting forward much. Their whole team is really putting in a shift, though. Hard to keep that up for 90 minutes. Subs could be key.
No criticism of Big Dave who's been excellent, but maybe bring on Dier for him and push Dembele further forward.
Dembele looks tired ... Kane looks like its still August... and we only seem to be able to pass to a yellow shirt in the final third. we all know how this'll end
Capoue in the book for an obvious pullback on Vertonghen. Ref taking forever to do it, as we break on goal.
I wouldn't blame him if he'd had the card in his hand but he hadn't even reached for it. There's so much allowance made for sides that slow things down at set pieces but little awareness for those that want to play quickly.
