Match Tottenham vs Swansea City

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We are a very decent side. We play some very good stuff. We have some great, technical and gifted players. However, we just have no goals in us. We have 3 players in the side who score.
2 in midfield and one up front.
We need more players to be a goal threat. Look at Woolwich midfielders, Ozil, Cazorla, Sanchez, Walcott chamberlin, wilshere, Ramsey all capable of finishing. They have 39 league goals between them
In our midfield Eriksen, Chadli, Dembele, Lamela, Townsend, Mason, Bentaleb, Paulinho have 19.
We need players who are capable of goals. We seem to get to the box and pass it about.
That has been the problem for a while. It was Bale or nobody, last year Eriksen and Paulinho, this Eriksen and Chadli.
We are a good team with no cutting edge. Lots of goal attempts, but not a lot of goals. We dominate teams, like we are tonight, and cannot finish them off with clinical finishing. We then allow them to draw level or snatch it.

I hope Mitchell rectifies this as it's a problem that is so evident.
 
Sloppy passing, slipping constantly, heavy touches & brain fade runs by Townsend isn't mainly down to them. We have just switched right off since Gomis went off and our best players are the ones we cant get in to the game (Eriksen, Kane, Chadli). Townsend's been god awful yet I've seen him with it more than those 3 combined. Mason and Dier quite sluggish looking. Hopefully Poch sorts it out at HT or this will be another 2/3 points dropped I'm afraid

I do agree that Townsend has been wank. But thats a given
