Will finish 3rd at best unless we get a clinical finisher in

Like last season?

Haaland would tear the spuds side into pieces

 

[blueparsman]

Creating our own problems here. Giving it away so easy at times

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Leedsesque at defending counterattacks

yhp, back to 19/20 when any turnover looked like an imminent goal against us, our defensive transition is none-existent.

 

[samuelyeboah]

would love to see raheem complete a successful dribble once

 

[vicblueman]

I’m really not enjoying watching Sterling. So frustrating.

If he's frustrating what the fuck is mendy then ?

 

[BlueBanger]

Sterling's closed control of the ball is truly shocking...if he doesnt have space to run into he's next to useless.

So that means in 90% of our games these days.

Dream on

Spurs can counter all day long if they want to, they have nobody to play the final pass into. They are literally stopping the ball on the edge of the box and waiting for a striker to appear. Son has just had a dig because there weren't any other options.

Only early days, but not sure that Grealish and Sterling operating in the same area is getting the best out of either of them.

Taking into account that we have no striker on the pitch, I’d take 0-0 right now.

That’s the spirit…

 

[bondsman]

Been caught 3 on 3 at back twice in last few minutes and they wasted the situation. We don’t look a threat in final 3rd at min

 

[teddykgb]

Sterling running into blind alleys caused that counter

For some reason Mendy offered him no support and Grealish was still coming forward from defensive cover on the last break. It was a poor decision to attack but I have no idea why Mendy was well behind him with his heels on the touch line

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

this first half going a bit downhill after a decent start, Spurs looking dangerous now

 

[Beanhead]

God save Joao’s left buttock.

 

[geek24601]

Need to get Torres and Mendy off at half time.

Give your head a wobble Torres has been good so far!

 

[01cravend]

Someone needs to tell Jack he's playing in the middle so needs to help out defensively

 

[Impeccable One]

Is this where we concede just before half time ?

He has had no pre season

He is a very frustrating dribbler. He beats the man then stops and then he just confuses himself lol

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

That's the one for us so when spurs get a dodgy penalty it's "balanced"

You just know it.
