Match Tottenham Hotspur v Woolwich Scum (15th Jan - 4.30pm)

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We started OK but totally lost it once Hugo made that mistake. Can’t really defend him anymore, these aren’t rushes of blood like his old mistakes they are basic handling errors.

Perisic on at HT and if I were in charge I would take Romero off too and play 4 at the back with an extra midfielder. We do not need to play with 5 defenders at 2-0 down.
You wanna play Dier and Lenget CB combo? Really?
 
I was there mate in the Shelf and can clearly remember Brady bending one in late on but at least in that game we went for it

Not like this shower

In the early 90 s I ended up in a hospital in Slough and Brady was also a patient and we discussed that

He turned out to be a decent guy tbf and was with Spam by then so he got plenty of stick!
 
Awful.

Last to every second ball, like Woolwich have an extra man on the pitch. They're targeting the left side because Son is an absolute ghost when it comes to defending. Sessegnon isn't the best but fuck me, he's getting zero help.

Big changes needed. I can see Perisic coming on at half time but it's not going to mean much outside of potential set piece delivery if he isn't going to be helped defensively.

Probably no where near fit but I'd get Son off for Richarlison as soon as possible. Fuck me, someone with a bit of fight.
 
Our lack of a press is once again exposed.

I'm not expecting us to go full Poch press. But could we at least press in a mid block or something? We are just allowing every single team we face to walk right through. And that puts too much pressure on the defence.
