Spurs v Villa 19/20 Ratings and Ramblings

Sis offered nothing, Toby should've gone backwards

To give you a serious answer, if he moves there's no angle to pass.

The question you should be asking isnt why isn't Winks moving, it's why isn't he demanding the ball. Which I assume he wasn't because he's in a good position to receive the ball.

Right. He does not demand the ball.

Though I don't think he is in a good position to receive the ball in all 9 screenshots.

Why is Winks standing still?

Without going back and watching it, Winks is giving TA an clear pass initially (it's hard to tell if he demands the ball, he could be, but with our back to us, we can't be sure), and continues to look available through the frames, but maybe once TA rejected that, does Winks not have to start thinking about holding his position - or even dropping a pace or two - because TA is now out of position as a CB?

Either way, what Sissoko does is fucking atrocious. I posted up some similar frames from the CL final, where Sissoko does something very similar to Winks, and then he's even in a bit of space.

I've watched that game again now a couple of times. Sissoko was fucking atrocious. How the fuck is it possible for a CM in a game where we have 65% of the ball, to only receive the ball 29 times?

Well here's the answer - we are desperately trying to construct something in forward areas and struggling, Winks is on the ball, got his head up and looking for an outlet, Sissoko finds himself in a perfect position, centrally, in space with players ahead of him, but instead of demanding the ball, the fucking coward is just standing there POINTING Winks to go backwards.

You want to know why we don't have a midfield anymore, why performances were so fucking atrocious this season, this photo gives you an insight.

Ladies and gentleman, your hero.

Make your comment a complete waste of everyone's time .... why bother?

Just to have yet another dig at Sissoko? who would have guessed that .............

Five put up or button it...

Put up what?

Lloris - 6 - Nothing he could do for the goal, didnt have much else to do for the rest of the game.

KWP - 7 - Good game. Always looked solid in defence.

Alderweireld - 6 - Didn't have too much to do.

Sanchez - 6 - Poor first half, solid second half. Needs a big season and more game time. So much potential.

Rose - 6 - Bit sloppy with the ball sometimes, but offered an outlet going forward.

Ndombele - 6 - Great goal. Thought he tried to hard in the first half, but when moved to a more natural position he looked a lot better second half.

Sissoko - 5 - Wasteful with chances. Good assist for the third goal. Formation didn't help him.

Winks - 6 - Always looked good in possession.

Lucas - 6 - Should have scored in the first few minutes. Kept running.

Lamela - 5 - Poor but for his assist. Never takes his preseason form into the season. Might be harsh but I don't know where he fits in when Alli, Eriksen, Lo Celso, Son and Sessengon are all back.

Kane - 7 - Quite first half, much better second half. Goals prove why he's the best around.

SUBS

Eriksen - 8 - Changed the game completely. Vital we keep him. Praying he signs a new deal.

Skipp and GKN - No rating.

Put up what?

Dunno, was half pissed when I sent that

 

[Steve73]

You're going to fit right in round here.

I'm keeping a low profile...

The reason we conceded the goal was because we didn’t have a DM to track back McGinn’s run. Sissoko was too advanced, Sanchez didn’t see McGinn making a run. Also notice how big is the gap between our most deeper midfielder (Sissoko) and the back four. So easy to exploit.
