Yet another game, this time back in the league. Hope for a better result than against Palace, need to win to realistically think about top 4 still. TEAM Lloris, Walker, Fazio, Vertonghen, Rose. Dembele, Mason. Paulinho, Eriksen,Kane. Lamela.
Geez I overslept by 15 minutes. By the time I let the dog out and found a stream we're already up 2-0. Who would have thought?
Yeah can see why Poch was getting annoyed with the endless sideways possession, when this much on top need to kill teams off completely with a 3rd goal. Two amazing saves by Lloris.
this is just awful - spurs hold possession for long periods of time but NO ONE is making any runs. no passes into the final third. then someone eventually makes a mistake and WBA goes on the attack.
could replace the whole right side of spurs and don't think I'd notice the difference. walker, paulinho, and lamela have all been invisible
Strange half, first 20 minutes we were superb, then rest of the half West Brom very unlucky not to score and we've offered little. Paulinho is the ultimate sideways footballer, all he does is either take the easy option or lose the ball.
Lamela has made some nice passes that I don't think you would see from Townsend. He's looking a lot better than he did Wednesday. Anyone else surprised to see Paulinho start?
It was a surprise to see, although Stambouli needed a rest I suppose and Capoue is on the chopping block. I guess will have to stick with him until the summer and hope the club can actually just bite the bullet and offload him.
spurs should be testing foster more. shoot shoot shoot. he already bottled the eriksen free kick, spurs need to exploit his weakness
I thought walker and lamela were good, but walker had some moments most noticeably for me when he turned his back to brunt on his shot. Mason would be the one I would drop as I think we are going to need some more steel in the middle of the park. I'm seeing we need to build around lloris who is still our best signing in the last couple years and eriksen who is coming on late. He has been scoring like crazy and I'm seeing that lamela is taking over the play maker role and eriksen is becoming more the scorer. We need more comp at left wing, dmid, and striker. Center backs are looking solid and our full backs have improved to me. Walker has been much then his last couple years when he did win pfa young player of the year. Rose has also improved. Pochs training and tactical genius has really helped. Also the fact we are looking inwards toward the youth movement is just wonderful.
reasonably pleased by the start in the 2nd half. paulinho has already done more in a few minutes than he did all 1st half. theres more purpose in this half
Our midfielders don't run off the ball when Kane or Erickson are in advanced positions. That last but of play before the subs highlights that as a weakness.
