Smal

Hope somebody works with him on his dribbling in training. He’s ok at pass and move but doesn’t really look like he can beat his man at all.

lol, Son just reffing the game

think he just stretched something on that pass where he slipped. Hopefully fine.

Miggy on for some energy pls

Schar’s been so good one v one all season which is why Trippier’s been able to play so high up. Seems to have forgotten how to do it last couple of games.

I know we’re 5-0 up but can we make some noise please

lads, it’s Spurs

Sarr is a midfielder

Spurs gone 4 atb by the looks of it. Don't like it.

Hope we are looking at this kid; especially if the Chelsea home grown fire sale rumours are true. He's obviously more attacking in these videos than Burn is, but I think he could play a similar role. Brilliant in build up phase, moves inside quite often, both-footed, quick...

I don’t think any team has made 5-3-2 work in the prem. Opposition full backs have all the time in the world and can just dictate the game. Steve Bruce used to play it ffs

Those challenges really need to be reds

Wouldn't be surprised to see Wilson back in for this.

Upamecano is absolutely tragic

Joao Felix is absolutely rubbish isn’t he

Yeah, I get the impression that even if the opposition works him out he still occupies them in a way that frees up Wilock/Joelinton/Bruno etc. The drop off from him to the other wide players in our squad is monumental.

Wish he'd stayed fit this season. Who knows what we could've done.

Agreed. Contract is up in June 2024 though so that might come into it.

Assuming we keep the same system, if we can get pace and athleticism in at left back I think that would be sufficient. Don’t think replacing Schar is a good idea yet despite his performance at the weekend.

I think it has to be 3 years between the ages of 15-21, but not fully sure.

dangerous scoreline

I don't know what the stats are now, but earlier in the season he had covered more ground than anyone else in the league. He might not be the best on the ball, but he is always available for it whether it's in deeper areas or further up the field. His understanding of the press is probably the best in the side. He is much, much better at running back than Willock is. Maybe these aren't overtly obvious things, but they were all missing yesterday.

After a sleep I don't think we need to twist for the Spurs game. Bring Longstaff and Miggy back into the team, get the midfield and pressing structure right and keep doing what has worked for us all season. Write this off as a one off. We had too many players who didn't know what they were doing yesterday tactically - primarily Gordon and whoever was playing right central midfield (first Willock, then Joelinton). If you have two out of 6 front players not pressing correctly it will always be a disaster. He completely outcoached Conte in the reverse fixture - played the full backs deep and narrow and Spurs couldn't deal with it. He knows how to be flexible.

This could end up being 10+ the way it's going

Stones is just an unbelievable footballer. So good.
