Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v LASK

Having Son as the target man isn’t going to work in this game, especially if we keep attempting these long balls.

 

Our corners are routinely ****, but at least beat the first man, FFS.

 

Doesn’t look like we’ve worked on passing this week in training. Was poor against Chelsea and following the trend tonight.

 

Lo Celso did brilliantly to play that out from the back, then dwelled on it too long. Shades of Lamela.

 

Doesn’t look like we’ve worked on anything this week in training.

 

Another shot for them and we've created nothing. Really poor start.

 

We'd have been better off with Winks alongside Hojbjerg and Lo Celso in the role that Ndombele's playing.

 

Moura in the book for using his arm. That's very harsh. Watching the ball all the way.

 

I think our 6 players are doing alright against their 12.
Oh, it's 11 a side, isn't it....

 

Great save from Hart. I don’t know how we’re still level. Terrible.

 

Another save by Hart. Shocking defending by Doherty.

 

Joe Hart

 

Well played Hart.

Everyone else.....?

 

Yellow for Michorl, who makes one of the most obvious handballs I've ever seen.

 

This is dreadful.

Bale’s also lost the ability to hit a decent free kick to top things off.

 

"Everyone calm yourself down. Come on." - Joe Hart.

 

I expect he’ll be having a word with Doherty at half time. really poor so far. So much so, Hojbjerg is now playing right back too!

 

Again....
I'm really not convinced by Docherty at all. His defending is worse than Aurier and he offers little as a WB.
Want to give him the benefit of the doubt but he needs to have settled in by now.

 

It's well overdue to ask the question...

"Are you Matt Doherty or his grandma?"

 

Too early to judge him yet, but he's not settled in at all. Aurier's improvement and COVID have limited his chances of a run in the team, though.
