I noticed a tactical tweak where Bobb went into Central Midfield, with Foden up front with Julian, & Gvardiol providing the width.Just wrote on motm thread about his performance and I agree he needs to work for the team but after pep’s hair dryer he had a huge impact . Pep appreciated his effort and gave him hi five . Bobb didn’t try to take porro 1on1 but when doku came on , gave porro a nightmare .
Newcastle are very good at pressing, hence his troubles up there.He's replaced Ederson previously & slotted in seamlessly. He had one of those days against Newcastle, which was probably his worst performance for us.
Conversely he was superb last night & his distribution was on point.
Same in our house . Even the dog stayed quietMe too
I still don’t think bobbs goal was off side . From the first angle it looked like spuds player’s hand kept him on but the lines was drawn from another perspective and focused on his toe.Really pleased we broke the curse , var tried to rule out every goal and tierney was a **** as usual but thanks nathan for the goal
Yes I would. Tidy with rhe ball and solid in tackleI noticed a tactical tweak where Bobb went into Central Midfield, with Foden up front with Julian, & Gvardiol providing the width.
We rotate quite often, so sometimes players gravitate to other positions as part of that, but that tweak remained the same from the end of the half, until Bobb was subbed. This shone a spotlight on Gvardiol.
Question: If we'd bought Gvardiol as a specialist left back, would you be happy with his effectiveness there?
To be honest, there was one pass (amongst others) where he wasn't being pressured but booted the ball to a Newcastle player in a threatening position.Newcastle are very good at pressing, hence his troubles up there.
Spurs tried to match that and weren‘t quite as effective, meaning Ortega could pick the right pass better.
It was. We were right at the back but still a good view and songs all night.
I was thinking the same when first seen he was on side and my son phone me and said the sameI still don’t think bobbs goal was off side . From the first angle it looked like spuds player’s hand kept him on but the lines was drawn from another perspective and focused on his toe.
Jasko is still a mystery for me. i still don’t know his strength and weakness but I’m willing to give him time to settle in .I noticed a tactical tweak where Bobb went into Central Midfield, with Foden up front with Julian, & Gvardiol providing the width.

I'd agree with that, but in an attacking sense, he leaves a lot to be desired. The skills you've outlined would be perfect for the CB position we bought him for imo.Yes I would. Tidy with rhe ball and solid in tackle
I like to leave the attacking to the wingers but I do recognise that full backs are expected to do a lot more these daysI'd agree with that, but in an attacking sense, he leaves a lot to be desired. The skills you've outlined would be perfect for the CB position we bought him for imo.
He's evidently a very good defender & is pretty accomplished with the ball at his feet, but I still think Left Back is a position I'd prefer a specialist player at.Jasko is still a mystery for me. i still don’t know his strength and weakness but I’m willing to give him time to settle in .
I said on match day thread during half time that he needs to release the ball to bobb quicker
Don't think anyone attacked him.not sure if the goal would have counted ouside the uk (CL for instance)...normally the refs are way more favourable towards the GK in the six yard box if there is contact (outside is fair game)...if someone attacked our GK the same way i would say it`s a foul
In the past we've had full backs providing the overlap, but the two times Gvardiol was in those attacking positions, he ballooned the ball out of play.I like to leave the attacking to the wingers but I do recognise that full backs are expected to do a lot more these days
I agree , it was tight but they look to chalk goals off rather than give the attacker the benefit of the doubt , sad the game has come to this really and our goals seem to be varred to death whilst the red teams get checked in ten secs despite how tight they areI still don’t think bobbs goal was off side . From the first angle it looked like spuds player’s hand kept him on but the lines was drawn from another perspective and focused on his toe.
Multiple checkpoints to get in, forced bottle necks in and out. An absolute shambles. Still, it looks shiny.Fourth row top tier tight behind the goal .. View was amazing
Apart from that the infrastructure is shite
Imagine being a Spurs fan and going through that every home game.Fourth row top tier tight behind the goal .. View was amazing
Apart from that the infrastructure is shite
His hand? surely it has to be part of the body that you play the ball with??I still don’t think bobbs goal was off side . From the first angle it looked like spuds player’s hand kept him on but the lines was drawn from another perspective and focused on his toe.
