Dubravka’s distribution has been spot on again. 😊

 

It is so valuable to have the keeper as another reliable outlet in order to retain possession. We're so much more press resistant with him compared to Pope. It's difficult to quantify, but in theory we are avoiding a lot of unneccesary situations where we would either not pass to Pope and lose the ball to opposition team pressing, or Pope hoofing the ball out for a throw in and giving the opposition the ball. 

 

That being said, I still feel more confident with Pope in goal.

 

Ideally we get a keeper in the summer who is as good or not far from Pope in goal, but on par with Dubs ability on the ball.

We dropped deeper went more counter attacking not letting them get space behind our midfield to run into

 

Okay, but I was talking about us doing a better job dealing with their press though.

Things will change when they bring on Maddison and Son and I'd fancy them to score another regardless, so hopefully we can get another couple and don't rue those missed opportunities.

 

Probably just my own paranoia but it's a game that doesn't have a good feel about it for me.

Take that at HT. Leggy as feared against Spurs fresher legs but kept our heads after falling behind so early. 
 

Think Maddison will have joy against us if brought on. Our midfield looks in a flat line again. 
 

Burn will have to be careful this half. Wonder if Spurs will target him with the ref.

They'll come out all guns blazing for the first 15 of the second half. Need to keep control

Yep. I expect Son and Maddison on at HT, they'll have a real go. Weather that storm and we're just about there
