Tottenham 1-1 Wolves: Verdict Thread

[1986]

If you listen to Vitor's presss conference on Saturday evening , he made a point of saying that we were much better as a team in the second half when we switched to 5 at the back .
I'm far from convinced that we will switch to a 4 too often .

I think we'll be back to a back 3 for Brighton. It's just about who plays RCB, it'll be Santi in the centre and Krejci at LCB I expect. The other CB from Doc, Mosquera or does Agba get another chance? Personally I think Agba needs a time out of the firing line to try and get his mojo back. I like the idea of Mosquera at RCB if Jackson or Rodrigo is rampaging forward but he hasn't featured very much so far. Doc is a defensively steadier option (never thought I'd be saying that) but his lack of pace can be an issue.

Four at the back without Krejci does not inspire confidence, and he will likely be needed in midfield when Joao or Andre are suspended. We're still gonna need all our CBs.

 

[1986]

If we play three centre backs then at this point you would think that the three would be Krejci , Santi and Yerson . In that scenario you need one quality back up and the hope would be that Agbadou just needs to be taken out of the starting team for a few weeks to help him rediscover his form .
Hugo still bothers me with his defending . He simply has to get tighter . We need to see more of Wolfe - I'm not writing anyone of the new players off at this early stage . Everyone needs time .

I was a bit wary of Krejci being used as both a CM and a CB but having seen him in both positions I'm very impressed with him. I saw Gully Kular saying something like 'he looks like a CB playing CM and a CM playing CB' and I couldn't disagree more.

I think ideally you want him as a CB when we play a back 3 and a CM when we play a back 4 as that's where the space will be in both of those systems and I think in this squad you want him on the ball as much as possible but I'm certainly not going to complain if it's the reverse.

Agree with all this.

We definitely need a new captain…..

This might be our guy.

Yup. Some players you can just tell straight away that they've got it, and he's got it.

No , No , No - we can't do that . If we appoint Krejci as our captain - he will leave next Summer !

.............might be leaving anyway if we don't start climbing that table .

 

[Mel Evo]

All very positive, though Nathan Judah likely still can’t get his head around why we’ve spent so much money on someone who will clearly just be Toti’s backup…

Could be an interesting game Sunday. Shame it’s not taking place from a position of more comfort.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Krejci is a bit of a calmer version of Saiss.

I bloody loved Romain Saiss.

Me too, I honestly think his recklessness was overstated.

Nice guy but he still thinks Gary O’Neil and Bruno Lage are good coaches.

 

[C.L.D]

I don't they'll change captains mid season but do think with others is looks inevitable he'll be our captain if they stay up.

Yeah he's a big Lage truther.

Mate, come on.
