Match Threads Wolves vs Spurs - Match Thread - Day 15

[shelfboy68]

Probably the best option right now on the right tbf.

I expect that he will be involved yes.

We are a bit better than Burnley though.

Better players but similar tactics.

By showing a lot of urgency and determination which has been sorely lacking in our last few league matches.

Overly simplistic imo. Its the type of unsubstantiated hyperbole that sounds good but is ultimately meaningless.

If you'd have asked me 3 weeks ago, Id have said we'd win by controlling the game and catching them out.

We'd were looking strong in this respect and Wolves had been looking toothless.

That Chelsea result for them has thrown me off slightly as they showed more in attack, although Chelsea played into their hands. And if we perform like we did vs Leicester we'll give them a chance.

Still, I think we'll respond today and we really need a big performance from Ndombele to help us do that. If he shies away then we'll have problems.

My dad who knows nothing about football was watching a game with me and said "I noticed players never seem to be in a hurry, even when they need to score with only minutes left they just casually pass it around or take time passing it in" I looked right at him and said "yea, that's the fucking problem"

If someone who knows nothing can see it, then it's an issue. We need to come out today with urgency and intent to score. I'm a Jose backer and am all for defending to play on the counter but teams have caught on, now it's time to make adjustments and surprise teams.

Bergwijn to score.

Yeah there was a lack of urgency last weekend.

Passing around patiently isnt a problem sometimes as you can catch a team out by suddenly coming alive. However, last week against Leicester we had multiple opportunties to counter and because of a mixture of inabilities and lack of urgency we kept losing the opportunties. Sissoko is a major problem in this regard but even Kane was botching promising movements.

You always get one crazy score line over the Xmas period and I think that’s what we’ll see today. 0-7 Spurs.

Surely that was Arsenal yesterday??

even if i had a feeling they'd win

Same here, I felt an Arsenal win coming. I also feel a loss for us coming but I'm one of those fans that is never confident.

I agree with your other post, passing around works at times but we need to mix it up with urgency at times and keep teams off guard.

We've been passing the ball around slowly for years to be honest. I used to watch Southampton for instance and always notice how every single player has more urgency to move the ball quickly. For ages now we've done this thing where we like to move it slowly from one centre back to the other and it just seems to set the slow tone to our play. Hojbjerg helps as he actually actively looks to receive a pass from them but you have Sissoko hiding or pointing for it to be passed elsewhere and Ndombele often instructed to be further forward so those instances really don't help.

Would be nice to start a game on the front foot for a change.

3-0 Spurs

Yes we have been. I have pointed that out before when people refer to the Poch days, even under Poch we were slow in build up. This season we are bottom 6 in passes into the penalty area, bottom 4 in crosses into the box and just below midtable in progressive passes. That is not good for a team with as many attacking players with quality as us.

We did start on the front vs Palace and the set up vs Leicester was to press higher and force mistakes, the players just weren't executing passes/opportunities.

Think we'll sit deeper today though

Not got a good feeling about this one today. Although the green kit looks nice. (Every cloud etc)

Two bad games and we have all lost our mojo. Let’s put it right tonight please.
