HT stats (look very Mourinho-esque) Possession: 58-42 Shots: 8-1 On target: 3-1 Corners: 3-0 Tanganga and Skipp are both on yellow cards as Traore has run riot for them.
FT 0-1, Kane came on for the final 20 and played well, we had way more chances in the 2nd half, but we really rode our luck. We will need way more creativity and ball control in the midfield.
Weird game. Outplayed in many respects, but Wolves were rubbish in front of goal. Hard to say if Harry made the team look better or Wolves tired/pushed for the equalizer. Bergwein looks like a Wolves player.it’s of good stuff right up to the final ball. Not sure if Dele “is back”, but he’s looking credible.
Nuno doing what he can with what he has, this is far from the finished product. At least the lads look engaged, last season there were too many games where the players didn't give a flying and it showed.
Yeah, there's a reason we haven't seen Aurier, Sissoko or N'dombele play. The guys who do are the committed ones. Thoughts on Kane coming on, and tweeting to celebrate the win (unlike last week)? Is he resigned to staying? Or at least resolved to put in effort until a move happens? Worth remembering this was their first away game with fans in ~16 months. Decent to get a win considering. Also, EPL appearance #300 for Lloris, a record for us.
Wolves were dominant in the first half with the high press and feeding the ball to Traore at every opportunity. They stopped doing that in the second half, and allowed more time on the ball, Spurs finally started to put together some possession. Son apparently was injured. The team was markedly better after Kane came in. I think we really need a right back, still. Tanganga was owned in the first half, looked slow. Maybe it was just Traore, but considering that our other RB is Doherty, not a lot of speed at that position. Dele was MOTM for me, Bergwyn runner up. Great save by Lloris to preserve the win.
Keep grinding out the 3pts, Spurs! If Adama could pass or shoot he'd be a beast. He'd also not be at Wolves.
