Everton - Spurs - Feb 3rd - 12:30pm KO

[Shadydan]

I see and I thought Angeball meant getting the ball from defence to attack as quickly as possible, Romero slows it down though.

You can't do that with every attack mate.

How do you get the ball from defence to attack quickly if the oppo are already in a defensive shape?

Totally! Ange should start compiling these and bring them a presser. Do a Fergie or Benitez! He can point out the complete inconsistencies. Only thing is someone will decisions that have gone for us. But the ones highlighting inconsistencies like the dive and no yellow are pretty straight forward balls ups.

That's what over 40 years of supporting this club does to you! It´s almost like a script!

Btw did you buy a ticket! Next please refrain from publicising your prophecies otherwise you be renamed to Nostradamus

Indeed he does then plays it blindly to the oppo

 

[Maureen]

It’s lucky when we get a late winner but a weak mentality when we concede to a late draw?

I didn’t say that. Said those 2-1s could easily have gone to 2-2 or worse as we still shipped chances.

Yesterdays 2-2 could very easily have been a 1-2 or 1-3… we created the best chances

Iago Santiago , highly rated winger in our under 23 team was on the bench against Brentford, didn’t get on. He wasn’t even on the bench against Everton. Brian Gil, a winger we were hoping to sell/loan during the recent window, was on the bench and came on against Everton. I’m puzzled.

Totally agree and it’s not just gill. If Bj and Demi are playing shit give the young lad a few mins. We seem just bring in the sane faces. If say we had Santiago Everton would never have heard of him. Whereas gill and deki they know exactly what they are going to do.

 

[Maureen]

Of course we’re not. Just because Madders, Sarr, Romero and VDV are back doesn’t mean they are up to speed yet. Sarr recently played 120 minutes in Afcon too. Bentancur doesn’t look up to pace yet either but he had a year out. Deki and Johnson look knackered and even Richi looked done last 15 yesterday. A fully recovered Bissouma massively helps out the defence but that’s a few games off too

We need more players that aren’t going to be sodding off to Afcon and the Asian cup. Man City have none and are flying now. Forest have 6 and dropping like a stone

Why is Johnson and deki looking tired. They’ve not played any more than the others. Both are young and should be at peak fitness now.

 

[Maureen]

Didn‘T Ange say that Mason was in charge of attacking play?

Then we are in trouble based on his temp stints as head coach

Deki has been off the boil for a while, Johnson is barely involved in any game I see him in.

Exactly!

 

[White Hart]

You can't do that with every attack mate.

and slowing it down gives them even more time to organise their defence.

 

[White Hart]

Perhaps Santiago could be given a run out instead of Johnson.

 

[White Hart]

My apologies i thought he had taken over all of it

Wonder why the set piece coach we had last year left? Mate of Conte’s didn’t like him leaving I Imagine.

 

[Shadydan]

and slowing it down gives them even more time to organise their defence.

Not if they're already in a set defensive shape.

Do you think football works in a way where every attack we can get the ball forward as quickly as possible or something? This ain't basketball mate.

 

[Airfixx]

I see and I thought Angeball meant getting the ball from defence to attack as quickly as possible, Romero slows it down though.

It's not possible if the gaps aren't there to exploit.

Romero does it virtually all the time, that’s my point.

 

[Shadydan]

Nope

 

[nicoclaesen]

We are trying to bait the opposition's press.

Correct. He’s not doing it to be slow on the ball.

 

[nicoclaesen]

and slowing it down gives them even more time to organise their defence.

So when we have the ball 30 yards from our own goal you think the opposition isn’t in their defensive shape??? You have to get them to come out and Romero is excellent at it.
