Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace - Sat. 2nd March 3pm

[Go on son]

Postecoglou needs to find some answers.

Why do they need half time constantly to produce something

 

[Hampshire Spur]

Typical new manager tactics. Well organised and try not to concede. Need to blow them away 2nd half with higher intensity.

 

[Stlducks]

is this the worst we’ve looked all year?

Not even close

 

[Kaz Hirai]

2 attempts on goal in 48 minutes is awful. I understand palace have everyone on their goal line but that is not good enough. Slowly getting worse

Studying that half I think a lot of the problem is...no not the whipping boy Emerson, but bentancur and bissouma. They are both extremely passive, non aggressive, and their passing and movement couldn't be anymore safe, predictable and bland.
You can get away with one of them as a defensive shield but both makes for a tragic midfield. Honestly hojbjerg provides more creativity.
Drop sarr and lo celso in for both of them otherwise more of the same with palace getting a flukey winner

 

[Go on son]

Fucking terrible

 

[Phomesy]

1st Half of the season I think we were number for touches inside the box. Now we look terrified to put it in there.

 

[thinktank]

What have we been doing in training for 2 weeks???

Why are the same issues still glaringly apparent.

1. Box play/ penetration
2. Shooting/not overplaying around the box

Why are their zero indicators that we have addressed this?

 

[Jaynola]

10th game in a row with fuck all threat from the wings anywhere

Let's see if we do first. No idea.

 

[glacierSpurs]

He’s very inconsistent. He had a great start to the season, had 8 good games up until the Luton game & has done pretty much nothing since then

He really can't be depended on. Some words about him from Ange in the presser and he had come out weaker. He keeps proving Conte right and I hate it.

Totally agree on sarr. Cant believe he didnt start

 

[Hampshire Spur]

Johnson for werner. Blow them away 2nd half.

 

[Lickher]

Seriously what ha happened since those first 10 games?!

 

[Doc]

Wingers aren't really good enough. Criticism of Biss is kinda understandable but also very much a result of how teams play against us / have altered their press against us. Just need better wide players and another passer in midfield to win these games more comfortably tbh, especially when Porro isn't out there.

Werner on the right, Maddison on the left.

It's obvious.

 

[jonomarch]

they are clearly defending the wings destiny and emerson needs to come inside more to make the space for the wingers or benta needs to come foward in middle to initiate the space.

 

[Jaynola]

is this the worst we’ve looked all year?

Probably Jose and Conte's fault. Nuno's too.

 

[Luiz Cláudio]

Conte levels of boring shite.

Every week we are so easy to play against.

No desire to win.

 

[Zomb]

Think most players have done ok at times

Just a bit of a lack of firepower and dynamism

 

[Maureen]

Think we just need to keep putting the ball in the mixer and see what happens. As the way we are playing we ain’t creating f all doing the rugby union passes. Put it in the box early see what happens and then press them high to win the ball back.
