If Dele he said they had loads of possession first half and should have created more chances. Then said second half we went long ball which messed his tactics up and then said they were very tired in the end despite having over 24 hours more rest than us. That’s about it really
If ever a game highlighted how badly we needed a striker tonight was it. We all are dreaming of that first 11 that injury permitting we should be able to put out in the next few weeks. The problem is of course Kane can’t play every game. But if he doesn’t start we aren’t able to play that system so we end up having to just stick our best available 11 together and hope for the best. We got away with it tonight with a mixture of bloody hard work and a little bit of luck but it’s not a sustainable way to play if we really want to compete in all competitions. We need a settled system with 2 players for each position and right now we are still so unbalanced beyond that first 11.
I think that we need two. One Llorente-esque signing and someone who can be direct competition and backup for Kane.
