    Albert Gudmundsson

    compilations can sometimes be misleading agree, but looks like he’s got good balance, strong and a burst to get by people. kind of why I’m keen on Eze as well with the ball retention/manipulation he brings

    Albert Gudmundsson

    Haven’t seen him but like the sound of being good on the turn with great acceleration. Think we need a lot more of that in the squad. Even though we do have some pace in forward areas, body shape and first touch is more often square/backwards from all of them. Only Maddison really let’s it run...

    Eberechi Eze

    Brothers a palace fan and he rates Eze more than Olise, although he like Olise too. From what I’ve seen I think Eze’s ball retention and dribbling ability is a level above personally. Just has to work a bit harder off the ball.

    I’d go even further back. Since game week 1. And even then he was just okay if I’m honest.

    VDV got to calm down as well. Rushing to everything at full pace. A lot of the time, as a defender holding your position and giving the forward a decision is all that’s needed. Same for the Forest goal. haven’t been very brave on the ball in defence either. Smashing the ball out for throw ins...

    Fairly sure he didn’t give the ball away countless times. Just that high ball that he tried to control that he sort of stood on. That was it as far as I remember. Haven’t checked any stats but, be surprised if it’s more than two unforced turnovers. VDV sells himself and takes himself out of the...

    I didn’t want to be sucked into this again but Nah, he wasn’t absolutely dreadful. He was probably our best player the first 20 minutes. I’ve watched the majority of the game again. He seems to have taken the majority of blame for the goal and i think he miss controlled a high ball with his back...

    not against it. Would be interesting to see how he does with Sarr and Maddison ahead of him

    think that was more down to Bentancur. As soon as he got injured the midfield was horrible. It was even more open than it is now even though we defended in our half. I do find it interesting last year it was often said Hojberg was isolated and had to do two peoples jobs but Bisoumma who has...

    Player Watch: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

    I think he means the latter. It wasn’t a massive change, whether he told Bentancur to play a bit flatter than Sarr or whether that’s what he decided to do on his own or just his own natural game wanting to come towards ball a bit more it was slightly different

    Player Watch: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

    I know it’s not everything but Bisoumma ‘s underlying numbers for that position are good. Think there’s a bit of a narrative now that’s quite hard to shake off and I think the starting position for a lot of people is that he’s going to be poor. It’s starting to happen with Maddison as well and...

    Watch the first twenty minutes again and come back to me and tell me he was awful. Watch his part in the first goal. Bisoumma wasn’t as sloppy in possession in the last part of the first half as PEH was on the ball in the last part of the second. Everyone forgets it m/doesn’t take it in because...

    Maybe he helped change the game, but more a positional thing from Postecoglu rather than a quality difference. Just feel like Bisoumma’s getting the shitty end of the stick here. Time wise he was at least as good individually as Hobjerg and the dm position was more isolated in the first half...

    So not Bentancur coming on and playing deeper than Sarr and giving us another player who’s technically great on the ball in the initial build up.

    Match Threads Spurs vs Forest

    I respect your opinion mate but just don’t agree. Thought it was fairly sloppy the last 25 minutes of the second half just as it was in the first. I get it, but the goals are clouding the way it’s viewed

    Dont agree. We started the first half very well, better than we started the second. Fast into tackles. One touch passing, getting into good positions. After we conceded the fans got tetchy and the players started losing confidence on the ball. The difference in the second half is we got the...

    Won the ball first then part of a quick passing sequence where he moved it quickly out to the left. Don’t think it was a five yard straight pass though have to watch it again. people getting influenced about the flow of the game by Mickey smashing one in. thats what changed the game really. It...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Forest

    I didn’t insinuate anything, I said Bisoumma started well and helped the team control the opening period and had a big part in the first goal and if he he got worse as the the half went on you could say it was similar to the game Hojbjerg had, although I actually thought he made more mistakes on...
