Agreed, while I would have liked to see more Gio I don’t think he has ever proven himself at Spurs and I don’t think it is wise to renew his contract (even if he wanted to stay).
But he does offer more going forward than the likes of PEH and when others get chances and he’s not, I think it...
If he doesn’t start on Sunday then he is definitely off and we are keeping him wrapped in cotton wool to avoid an injury scuppering the move.
The alternative is Ange doesn’t rate him above a PEH who has also looked to move, and given our attacking difficulties that is scary
Colleague at work is a Millwall fan - says he’s been very good, probably found his level. Millwall would like to keep him but generally speaking if the player is good enough for them to want to keep, someone else will come in with a better offer.
Good on Japhet, got his career going and we...
Would love to see Ange mix it up a bit with some of the youngsters, too many of the senior players look spent physically and/or mentally. Plus would give us supporters something to be excited about
Needs a break. Played most of our games, travelled for internationals, he (like most of our attack) don’t really seem to know what they should be doing and a summer off will hopefully help him.
Next season we need others to step up and lighten the load
He doesn’t suit Ange’s system - doesn’t have the pace to get past a full back one on one, and the middle is so, so crowded with the full backs inverting and the centre mids flouncy around.
Excelled when played further up, with a strong number 9, and a full back who would overlap so Deki could...
It will be interesting to see how we go next season. When the wheels have been rolling nicely, we run along nicely but when they start to come off, with a key player absent or an in form player injured, Ange hasn’t yet shown an ability to address it quickly.
That said, some of the players are...
If only we could try and force it through an overcrowded middle, then go wide but not put a cross in because we’ve got fuck all upfront. If only we tried that for a 762nd time
Well that’s a new low. Two spurs players go for the ball and they still both lose out.
I would say there are players going through the motion, but the lack of intensity and concentration is alarming.
1 v 1 we are so weak, it’s not just set pieces but it shows it up most clearly.
Aside from Romero and VDV, I’d fancy every other player to lose a duel against an opponent, hell even a stiff breeze would cause them to struggle
Considering he has also had plenty of time on the training ground with the players it’s not a great sign that we have got steadily worse, and have managed to not only stop the same errors/issues/patterns from happening but allowed new ones to slip in.
If we are relying on the keeper to come and claim each corner then we’ve already failed. Vicario has to do better, but fuck me the setup is atrocious.
All the attackers are allowed a mostly free run, we are so deep and static that no one is moving to the ball, so someone always gets their...
Got to give him time - this team was always going to take time to turn around, he’s lost the best number 9 in the world, to be competing for a champions league place is a good achievement.
Yes, I do expect us to move on to another level of performance with another pre-season and more squad...
Got to cut out the sloppy mistakes for next season. Far, far too often one of our players is caught out on the ball, outmuscled, or just makes an absolutely woeful decision and it costs us a goal.
it’s not just a couple, not even a few, but far too many for our team with our aspirations.
First...
His defensive play has certainly taken a dip, I thought he didn’t help Draguson against Fulham, and in the first half against Forest he was played around so easily several times.
What was pleasing was in the second half he was not committing himself so recklessly when closing the opposition...
PEH is probably our only decent long range passer and can give us a different dynamic.
He also plays much better in a partnership with another central midfielder (Bentacur being the best candidate) but probably needs a partner because he isn’t quite able to cover the width of the pitch, but can...
