Tottenham (A) - 16/5/21 - Build-Up & Match Thread

[t3ch]

ffs traore why did you completely stop on your heels in the box while everyone was moving

 

[t3ch]

man our finishing has been nonexistent since jota left

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Feels like Nev is being overly critical here doesn't it?

 

[Mel Evo]

Some good play in the build up to the Silva miss. Hopefully more to come...

 

[malta mick]

we've had some great chances to score

 

[Tredman]

Wrong shade of red for him.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Has Dendoncker done anything this game? Absolutely anonymous.

 

[Throbber3]

We need two penalty kicks to get back into this

 

[The Bion]

Neville's touched on something that really needs to be addressed if we're going to stick with 4 - we don't press the ball nearly enough.

Sitting off and being passive in a 5 can work as you have the sweeper, you can't play the same with a 4 and let teams come onto you constantly, it's suicide. Midfield and forwards need to work a hell of a lot more.

Hate to be that guy, but...

Christ Fabio. Looks like he’s running in treacle again today. Let’s see Theo.

Ball into Fabio was bobbling around a bit to be fair.

It was, doesn't stop the pundits expecting him to be as good as Harry Kane though.

 

[Tredman]

Hate to be that guy, but...

What? Is it called something like series over there?

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

MGW has been ok today.
The back and Mouthino have done well.

Surprised at the stick Rui is getting, great save from Kane, i thought it was a good save from Bale, he hit that on the edge of the box, ideally you want it pushed wide but it was a good save

Don’t usually like stats but Spurs have had 22 efforts on goal 12 on target.
Pretty much tells the story,

Well played!

Don’t know why it was drilled into him.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Taking MGW off is an act of damage limitation. Pretty disappointing from Nuno.

 

[Derby Wolf]

MGW been our best player along with Traore imo. Woukdnt have taken him off.

They're a good side who have something to play for. We are on the beach, playing the kids and have a raft of injuries, i'm not going to lose too much sleep about this game.
