Stottie Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Decent half. I've got an international feed on with that mackem in commentary, but Spurs haven't been as good as he claims. Only one of their shots was inside the penalty area, including the blocked ones. They look like a team who needs a center forward. With no Solanke, Spurs look vulnerable at set pieces like last season, so I hope we keep sticking the ball in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 1 minute ago, The College Dropout said: Agreed. There’s no footballing ability at the back either. Not seen Tino on it yet this season either. Tino looks fine to me, generally good on the ball as is amazing one vs one. He’s actually really good going forwards and overlapping too but our whole game being transition based means he doesn’t get much chance to show it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_n_white Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Gordon, Isak and Bruno off the pace yet again. Majority of the others have done well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 2 minutes ago, ExiledGeordie said: Still doesn’t look fully fit. He’ll either sign a new contract this season or be sold I think. I’ve always laughed at body language experts but he seems to lack some enthusiasm and emotion compared to last season, never smiles either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upthemags Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Just now, Yorkie said: Well off the top of my head he was there to rebuild the move for the goal after the corner, and switched one absolute raker out to Barnes on the wing. The switch of play was nice yea, but the following 45 min of him were not impressive in the least. Just no technical ability on the ball. Working hard at least I suppose.

Aye that was a pinger, he’s generally ponderous on the ball though (and has been once or twice in that half) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Isak had a sublime chip from edge of area when vucario was off his line... half a yard and it was goal of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 1 minute ago, Shearergol said: The bar is extremely low there. Both have been pretty poor. Joelinton is trying to play his way through the press and he's got caught a couple of times. Longstaff knows he's not good enough so just passes it backwards.

cubaricho Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 6 minutes ago, Ronaldo said: I hate that midfield 3. There’s just no ball retention and 2 out of 3 of them need an extra touch. Can’t afford that. Tonali moonwalks into the team tbh. Excited for when it’s Tonali / Bruno / Willock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s irritating he’s on a yellow, mind. Yeah, frustrating and harsh too. Pretty sure it was his first foul and given that it wasn't hard, think he deserved a bit of grace off the ref.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Kelly has been out best player today, comfortable on the ball, solid defensively and a decent assist, really impressed by him today. Think Isak and Gordon look well off the pace, Bruno has been invisible and Joelinton just charging around like a headless chicken. Happy we are in front but we just need to turn it up a notch if we want the 3pts, hopefully Edward gets that out of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Not pretty but we've been fine. Limited Spurs to shots outside the box in the main and look a threat on the corner. Trips and Tonali still to come on too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 1 minute ago, Yorkie said: Deserves no shade at all today. Positionally and physically very good and played some nice passes. Tend to agree, based on assessing it on his own standard he's had a good game He's still limiting our way of play, especially by being so slow/unable to turn with the ball quick enough to find a pass forwards thus ends up playing backwards 85% of the time.

buzza Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 I would have both tonali and hall on for kelly and longstaff. Both on cards and we need better ball retention Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Much better first half than the last 3 games, without Botman and Schar in the back we're never gonna build up well, but we've defended well limiting them to shots from outside the area and close a few times to getting in behind. Tonali will get his time and Spurs will start to push harder to get back in this, we will get opportunities to break, just need to take them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pushed forward with such ease last season in space. Harboring an injury maybe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
