Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Wolverhampton Wanderers

[Left on the Shelf]

Sanchez' and Emerson's lack of quality on the ball a bit too evident.

Sanchez in particular is so limited with his distribution. Emerson has shown occasional glimpses - but looks like he's not going to last much longer today.

God, this is boring so far

 

[KingHotspur]

Tis quite embarrassing that a club at the level of Spurs
do not have even have the quality to even remotely
try and pass thru the CM trap that the Wollveguese have set.

Becuase there is no creativity in centre midfield, even a fan like me notices it as a huge weakness.

 

[SarrMan]

Usual Saturday lunchtime game from us. We should give whatever portion of the tv money makes up this slot so we never have to play it! Can never remember us doing well

 

[crackerman jack]

Three in the midfield for the opposition really nullifies our front three as we struggle to get it up to them.
I would be tempted in games like these to go two up top and match up in midfield with Bissouma

Nonsense.
The inability to accurately pass at weight to a team mate,
or hold the ball in a tussle, has nothing to do with "creativity" .

 

[crackerman jack]

I was at this game last season and by this time we were 2-0 down already so trying to think positive!

 

[Left on the Shelf]

God, this is ****. Disjointed, aimless crap.

 

[KingHotspur]

Nonsense.

Disagree from what I’ve seen since Eriksen left and Dele turned to ****. You need someone who can find space in tight areas and get attacks started. The midfielders Spurs have don’t have that in their locker.

 

[Spurlock]

We’re playing like we’ve had a midweek game

no umph

 

[crackerman jack]

Son has been our worst player, absolutely terrible. His touch has been awful

 

[Left on the Shelf]

Sonny having 'one of those games' again. Very slow start to the season for him.

 

[humanbeingincroydon]

I spent the night in a Travelodge

I have forgotten what the concept of joy of happiness is

 

[Spurlock]

Kinda game that requires Richarlies grit and determination to bulldoze a goal for us from what I can see

 

[crackerman jack]

Then kane slips over, handballs it and claims a foul ​

 

[Spurlock]

****in idiot that Emerson

 

[crackerman jack]

At last their goalie has touched the ball now!

 

[Spurlock]

Perisic showing his class

 

[The RDBD]

QED on Perisic (so WTF is Son taking corners) .

 

[humanbeingincroydon]

Nonsense.

or hold the ball in a tussle, has nothing to do with "creativity" .

Actually it does, as creativity allows players to create pockets of space by themselves

For example, Bissouma or Skipp can create those openings as they move the ball up the pitch, while Bentancur is more static and Hojbjerg is better at recycling he ball
