It’s stupendous. Really great. You will love it.
I KNOW.... coulda SWORN he was at least NINE!
Like I just said - we've put plenty of energy through this formation before and the result has consistently been the same.
In this game it was absolutely key, as Watford were always going to be cagey. When teams sit against this shape we always end up playing turgid side-to-side shite.
We unlocked ourselves by switching in the second half... to the formation we should have started with, which would have brought us a win IMVHO.
How many times did Kane get the ball in / near their area? How often did Moura or Son manage it? It's not an issue with the whole team, it's the midfield gone AWOL since Dembele left and Dier / Wanyama became crocked.
It's the first time I've seen so many players find themselves having to try and dribble through a defence and really force play - Alli bundling through; Lamela, Son, even Kane. We have no clean transition from back to front and we're either going long-ball to bypass midfield or passing side-to-side.
But, if we bring in N'Dombele (when fit to Poch standards) and Lo Celso to cement that midfield transition, some other darlings are going to have to make way...probably why Moura and Eriksen are so peed off, and Poch is pulling faces about Sissoko's new contract.
It could just be that dodgy diamond and us getting over-run in midfield. Poch can't see it, though.
For amusement purposes.
I don't disagree. It's been long coming. We never really create enough chances consistently to dominate.
Exactly.
He will tell you he was proud of the performance, of the intensity and that we need to stick together.
Repeat ad nauseum.
Not that kind of energy I'm after. The key is our desire to win the ball back, and preferably as high up the field as possible. Today we started in a different setup and it looked just like every other game we've played. It's just down to the players desire and will...easy as that
Mate Poch has lost the plot. The team's he selects, the tactics, the formations, the substitutions. You can wait until next summer but nothing is going to change.
Shit happens, players and managers at some point need to move on
After we scored/didn't score/did score /VAR/ goal/ No goal/ yes goal / Celebrate / don't celebrate / No it's ok... you can celebrate now fiasco ... I actually DARED look up to the skies (in momentary lapse of atheism) to ask, nay suggest to the 'Non Existent made-up Good Lord him/herself, the idea that we might now actually get a winner...
More fool me...
I now know God is a Non existent Fairy Tale... and in the remote chance he/she (probably SHE) DOES exist... he/she certainly DOESN'T support Spurs... and that he/she's probably a dirty Gooner who I wouldn't wanna believe in ANYWAY!
Sorry God fans....
but the God I don't believe in is a RIGHT C@#T!

I know full well God is a Spurs fan... he/she just REALLY seems to be getting off on testing us right now!
