Kulusevski has been poor today. Son mediocre again. Richarlison diabolical. Again. Midfield almost beyond praise again.
One of his problems is that he invariably cuts back onto his left foot, so momentum is lost. He set up Pape indirectly last week by running to the line. Need more of that!
Which is why Maddison did it without doing it! One of the problems with these rules is that people will find ways round them.
Cook replaces Rothwell for Bournemouth. I thought he played alright. Made a couple of big tackles. Injured?
For a period they were uncertain whether to fully commit to their pressing game. The fact they have not been punished will buoy them (so Spurs will need to make it 2-0 to force an all-in response) . Spurs : not clinical enough with the chances presented. With this only being post-Kane week 3 you can allow for it, but Son + Richarlison need to front up ASAP.
I’m impressed by Bournemouth’s energy. They’re wresting control by sheer persistence. Richarlison can we please please please get him off the field?
