You'd think somebody who stars in a film called Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile would be a Chelsea fan...
This is exactly why you need a Bale type in the squad, Eriksen has gone AWOL (no CM drive whatsoever) .
It’s games like this that illustrate how much this squad is crying out for new blood. Predictable. Slow. Uninventive. Boring. And that’s the good stuff...
It’s gonna be bloody hard breaking down an entire team who’s furthest player forward is still on the edge of their own box. We just need to be patient, frustrating as it’ll be to watch. It’ll only take 1 decent opportunity. Then they’ll have to come out and play. And if they do, Sonny and Lucas will have a field day.
There keeper has been told to hurry up by the ref for EVERY goal kick...several free kicks so....1 minute added
Andone should have been booked 4 times! And how was there only 1 minute added! Not saying we've deserved much more but FFS I wish officials did their bloody job. Rose our best player so far. At least showing some commitment.
Very predictable half of football. Llorente in such a congested system isn't working as his close control isn't good enough when surrounded by defenders and our crossing has been woeful so you'd be forgiven for thinking he isn't on the pitch. Rose very, very good and lovely to see him playing with such passion - more than the rest of them put together. His game so far only serves to highlight just how abysmally limited Trippier is in every measurable area. What worries me is that we have zilch on the bench to change this, although a 91st minute Janssen winner would seal his place in Spurs folklore forever.
I don't think the crosses have been that bad, just Duffy and Dunk are totally in control in the air. the two times they have cleared off the line the ball came in lower.
Our bench has three defenders and two defensive midfielders. No game changers. If it stays this way, Vinny could get his chance.
Him and Moura need to run the central channels more. Brighton are mopping up every single cross from out wide - even the semi decent ones. But they have given away numerous free kicks in dangerous central positions, and we need to take advantage of that. Couple more yards and it's penalty territory.
