Sure, it could have been worse. But after this, I think we will miss top 4. Man U will probably be 2 points behind us after their game against Southampton. Chelsea play Fulham tomorrow, will be easy 3 points for them. Then they will be 5 points behind us with a game in hand. And we have away games against Liverpool and Man City before the season is over..
Totally agreed, it's very hard to define our style of play at the moment and that is the most worrying. We're really lacking balance. I especially dislike this move of bringing Llorente on to partner Kane then we just start hoofing it anywhere? If we were gonna bring him on we should have at least brought Skipp on for switch of plays and got the ball into wide areas.Have to be content with a point really, we. This team just looks confused and with no focus currently, you'd hope with the equaliser that we'd have the momentum and push for a winner - instead if anything we got worse, booting the ball long in random fashion, no build up play or trying to apply pressure, and just all round messy chaotic play.
Not good for my heart rate.
Glad of the point really am, as a performance I dont know where to start, i cant decide whether its tactical/mental or both.
The players you mention suffered unexpected declines at a time the club is under severe financial pressure. We could/should have tried to replace at least one but, for the money we likely have available, probably wouldn't have got much better than Winks, Sissoko and Dier. The situation has obviously been exacerbated by all 3 of them being out for spells. We certainly aren't in a position to be buying someone as good as peak Dembélé.Where have my Spurs gone? The one where an in form, fit CM of Demebele & Wanyama controlled games. We've gone backwards.
