Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Everton

Jose: “Play anyone except Bale”.
His staff: “Even Sissoko?”.
Jose: “PLAY ANYONE EXCEPT BALE!”.

 

7 defensive players plus Kane, Son, Ndombele and errr Sissoko

Jose is just trolling now isn’t he

 

I mean if we're lining up with eleven outfield players that might work...

 

Lloris, Rodon, Toby, Dier, Reguilon, Hojbjerg and Aurier = 7

Kane, Son, Ndombele and Sissoko = 4

7+4 = 11

 

I think you're being generous by counting Sissoko as a non-defensive player, to be honest.
Scores extremely rarely, isn't a great passer of the ball, by any means and has one assist all season.

 

Goalkeepers aren't outfield players, so = 6

 

I guess no one has got Dier playing in midfield tonight then?

 

Boooooooooooooooooooooo! Sorry, just trying to recreate the usual atmosphere.

 

That's a shocking free-kick from Reguilon. We're terrible on set-pieces and have been for years, for some reason.

 

Not sure about this formation...

Michael Oliver doing his usual. Lets everything go early, loses control of the game, then goes nuts in the second half.

 

Prince Andrew at left-back? Ludicrous stuff, Gary.

 

Hojbjerg picks up an unnecessary booking after a poor pass by Aurier. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

 

15 minutes of a **** training game. Both sides looking disjointed and lacking in confidence.

 

RIP Ndombele.

 

Advantage being played, no advantage... nothing.

 

Davies booked for a foul about 2 minutes ago. Nowhere near the ball.

 

Richarlison should score, as our defence completely goes missing. Fairly routine save for Lloris.

 

Good ball winner though.

 

This is a shocking game, we have no dynamism in midfield, no desire to move the ball quickly, no movement and showing for the ball.

Just get him out, even if he flukes the LC final.
