So it’s now a case of INOGO not IGOR….in other words ISTAY.
It makes some sort of sense to hold fire to see if the players are finally playing for him a d getting used to his play. We’ll soon see against Madrid and Forest. If we win those he has to stay until the end of the season. A number of players back but let’s hope Micky ( fed up and wants to leave) and Romero ( doesn’t want to get injured before the World Cup) buy into his way.
Spurs covered 118.27km in the game, compared to Liverpool’s 109.6km.
Our top 3 for distance covered:
Archie Gray - 12.58km
Solanke - 12.01km
Richarlison - 11.1km
Liverpool's top player for distance covered was Mac Allister on 10.21km.
Nowhere did I say they are amazing, nor did I say they are a better team than Liverpool.
But will they pose a different, likely more difficult challenge to what Liverpool mustered up? Highly likely.
They will raise their game against us as every traditional bottom half team does, and that will be doubled by the fact they will have the chance to drag us into the relegation zone by beating us.
Liverpool didn’t give a fuck on Sunday, and thought they would beat us by just getting off the bus.
Yeah, I was pissed off with him after the Kinsky debacle but I do like the way he handles himself.
There's no good that will come of changing again so we may as well get behind the bloke.
Which also leaves a fullback in the opposition free to join midfield and still leave a covering defender
If they want to be dragged out of shape perhaps.....
3CBs isn't inherently flawed.
See 2016/2017.
..........Us AND Chavs.
I like him and the way he talks but if he’s staying I’m hoping they’re basing it off more than a Richarlison miss kick. Sounds like they were in the process of bringing someone else in. I don’t know maybe they’ll see how the Athletico game looks. Don’t think the three was doing us many favours
Yeah - it's worked for one and half seasons in the entire PL history
The centre midfielders were Dembele, Wanyama, Kante and Matic - all ridiculously strong physical players
Oh come on.
If Tudor had been appointed as the interim manager of Woolwich, Liverpool, City, Chelsea United et al and got four losses and one draw from his first 5 games he would 1000% be getting this much scrutiny/attention, if not much more!
If he had won a few games and were moving forwards no one would give a shit about him.
Lol you seriously expect us to play good football with the players we have available in this moment? That's one thing, another thing is building blocks and first has to be getting the basics right, which like you said, we're trying, run and fight. And another thing, we don't have the time nor the luxury to wank about implementing a style of football. We must pick up points, any points, no matter what, to get out of the hole we've slipped into.
Btw, mind telling me which manager in the recent years has come and implemented a good style of football in 25 days?
The 3 players who actually look like they give a fuck. Who’d have thought it?
Heartens me a wee bit to know we’ve still got boys in there fighting for the club, despite a load of their team mates downing tools.
As long as it's 11v11, then if they have an overload in one area of the pitch, we have an overload in a different part.
Our stats vs theirs isn't totally relevant tbh. They had over 60% possession and we were chasing the ball a lot more.
Solanke and Richarlison spent a lot of time running towards Liverpool defenders who were passing around among one another.
What is a good indicator is who in our team is putting the miles in and who isn't.
Solanke, on a side note, must have racked a up lot of that distance early on, as he appeared to be walking and dead on his feet for most of the last 3rd of the match.
Rafa Benitez at Chavs?
Problem is with a back 3 (which is easily forced into a back 5) your numerical advantage is 3 centre backs marking 1 striker
It's a system designed to play against a 442 - with 2 CB's marking and 1 sweeping
But every manager knows that a 433 will beat it
Nearly half of every PL team should be running over 11km a match. I’m sure under Poch we always had at least 4 or 5 doing it every game.
I agree that it will be a very different challenge, I just don't agree at all that we should be bigging them up as though playing at home to the 17th placed side is in any way a more difficult test than playing away to an, albeit weaker than usual, Liverpool side.
We're obviously pretty crap ourselves right now, and our home form is it's own hindrance, but we absolutely should be winning this fixture, and not overly fearful of it. We ought to be focussing on how up for it we're going to be, rather than concerned with how up for it they will be, and if we can't get 3 points from this fixture, the we really probably don't deserve to avoid the drop.
bus-conductor
was wondering why Gray was playing, think that's the reason why.I'm sure he doesn't make enough passes or whatever but it seems like he's a bit of a busy cunt, something that's needed at the moment.

Creates goals, assists or decent chances fairly often these days as well
