Another issue is the absence of Matip. Matip offsets this midfield's lack of creativity somewhat by often breaking the lines, and bringing the ball into the final third.It’s almost like “the midfield which won the CL” isn’t actually as effective as we need in these games and we should be playing other players in our squad better suited to such a game
Firmino essentially playing in midfield now. We might as well take off Henderson and bring on Keita now.
I'd suggest that losing our number one keeper for most of the season til now, having our number two choice CB injured, & number three choice having played almost no footy since an injury, has played a much bigger part, than the system we play which gave us a brilliant defensive record last season, as well as being a huge part of what helps us play the way we do.
Can't see us scoring today.
Yes mate and that was last season. God forbid it takes a genius like yourself to work out that we defend high and think ‘um, maybe we should target that’. But no, you just ramble on about absentees.
Pochetino obv told them all to prevent free kicks being taken quickly. Twat that he is.
Spurs playing like it's their Cup Final.
HT. Fucking annoying we havent made the most of the number of good & great chances we've had.
I can't see any change before 60 here, we're creating loads of chances, so no need to panic yet.
This keeper is better than lorris
