Wow,it’s only Micky and Cuti’s fault that we need to score three to win?
Micky walks into most teams and we need him here. Cuti has his moments where he lets himself down so I can only defend him to a certain extent. Those 2,Xavi and Paulinha are the only ones I’d keep because they actually give a fuck.
We all have our opinions on players but I know if we lose those two we’re are talking about then it’s a massive downgrade with who we get unless Vuskovic hits the ground running in the premier league.
I think you need to pay more attention to the details of our back 5.
At least one of them gives up at least one big chance to opposition teams every single game we play.
Sometimes it's more than 1 big chance per game.
That's without the opposition having to create a chance.
In recent weeks opposing players have been played onside by one defender who stays deep, multiple opposing players are left unmarked, in the 18 yard box, in open play and set piece situations, crosses are rarely blocked, through balls are not intercepted, runs are not tracked, possession is given away under no pressure, defensive headers, especially where Porro and Romero should be, are rarely won, team mates in possession, and under pressure, are left isolated.
Spurs current defenders are not very good at defending.
They play in front of a goalkeeper who is also incapable of catching balls in the air, preferring to punch or not come for crosses at all, who cannot reliably control, pass, throw or clear a ball without often playing defenders into trouble or slicing the ball to opposing players.
We are shit at the back and the rose tinted glasses regarding these defenders needs to come off.
This is the 3rd consecutive season these things have been happening.
It is not bad luck or coincidence.
