Match Threads Spurs vs Man City - Match Thread - Day 1 - KO 4:30 pm

[mil1lion]

The addition of Lautaro martinez to the counter attacks we’ve been seeing would be so dangerous

The front 3 are playing narrow too so Martinez could play to the right of say Vlahovic with Son the left.

 

[Snarfalicious]

Love the fight, love the organization. Would like to see more from our trio in attack re: quick decision making. But, can’t complain too much. Think Lo Celso for Dele is the easiest decision.

 

[sebo_sek]

Alli really needs to come off at half time. Passenger…

Harsh

 

[KILLA_SIN]

We won't sign someone better than the level he is at the moment, will he keep it up though ..

That's the acid test I just don't think he can be judged by the end of Pochs tenure and def not JM's

 

[kendoddsdadsdogsdead]

Thought Sanchez, the full backs and the front 3 in particular Lucas were decent, the rest meh

 

[nferno]

Watching those highlights, we did get very fortunate with a couple of the chances they had

 

[Barrd10]

I think Hojberg has sent quite on it. Maybe rusty. Also Son. Ali is nonexistent really. Overall ok. We pack a bit of quality up front.

 

[Pistols At Dawn]

Considering Tanganga jersey

 

[rabbikeane]

Reckon we have to spare a sub for Tanganga as the game goes on, there'll be cards eventually

 

[JaySpur]

Thought Skipp had a decent first 45 for his debut

 

[srups34]

No matter how this ends up, its better than watching the rubbish Mourinho served up. Plenty of positives.

 

[anydange]

Came into this season with very low expectations and expecting us to roll over but very happy with that half.

Take the pressure off our CB’s (by pressing and defending from the front) and they’re much more confident.

Could be one or two up if it wasn’t for Son being indecisive.

Would like to see Gio on for Dele around 60.

Anthony Taylor needs to fuck off.

 

[barry]

All those saying gil for Steven, I say no. Boys doing alright, and as much as I want to see Gil, I say let the boy get his confidence up

 

[easley91]

Hang on. Was Lucas not on target when it was blocked on the line..?

 

[Phil-spur99]

Top effort. Quality a bit lacking to finish a good counter, wonder if we see Gil for Bergwijn at some point.
Give it a go guys, looks fine so far (First 10 aside)

Yes, it’s like we a missing a clinical striker to finish off the counters…

 

[Jamturk]

Tanganga strong, positive, great mentals, our best player.

Sonny thinking too much need more instinct.

Skippy shaky start, improved steadily.

Dele is a passenger at the moment doing nothing forwards or backwards.

2nd half is Nuno time, work your manager boss.

 

[Roberts84]

The front 3 are playing narrow too so Martinez could play to the right of say Vlahovic with Son the left.

Very much trying to get that overload against their CBs.

 

[Dannyspur]

 

[BucSpur]

Very happy with the last 20minutes of so, definitely feels like the doors and windows have been opened and a nice draft is blowing out, at last, the lingering stench of Mourinho's tactics from our beloved club.

Want to see a bit more aggression from Sonny.

Dele Dele Dele though, what do we do?

Tanganga, always loved the name, now loving the man.

Nice to see Sanchez standing up.

COYS.

 

[Erik ten Hank]

A few noticable things....

We've obviously been told to be more aggressive higher up the pitch. Son actually competing for headers(every time) something I've never seen from him before. Our set piece marking has clearly been worked on, some marking zonally and then others picking up the threats.

I can't criticise anyone from that first half.

Regarding set pieces, they really lack height today. Only Dias should be a threat. Fernandinho playing over Rodri, Ake is on the smaller side, etc. I guess Mendy and Cancelo are above average height for fullbacks, but so is Tanganga.
