It Could Get A Bit Messi In Here - The Football Thread.

They're overloading Porro. Kulusevski and Maddison aren't doing enough defensively. Kulu at least has something going forward. Maddison is a luxury player for this game and they should drop him to bring on Johnson to help with Porro.

Porro’e decision making has been really poor though. He should be covering around, recognising that you’re ahead in the game. This keeping on the front foot and into midfield regardless of the situation in the match is madness.

Maddison is a 10, or a high 8, it’s not his job to cover around for the full back.

The 10 in Ange's system floats around the middle of the field, linking the CDM/CM and the rest of the attack. He's not supposed to be in the box, but he's still playing way too high for the position.

Kulusevski has been unplayable this match, unreal player.

Two shocking mistakes two goals spurs. Tidy toothless and poor.

Looks like they could be a bit shit tonight and still beat us by three or more like in the league.

I don't care about Levy

All I care about, is Kulusevskiiiiiii

Spursy

Solanke with a Kane-esque goal???? okay okay

 

[Joe Mac]

Well game over. So much for a promising first half. Lisandro Martinez is a shadow of the player he was, to blame for both second half goals.

Take off Sarr for Lucas, Kulu for Johnson, Dom for Lankshear at the hour mark. Rest who we can for Liverpool.

 

[Jonathan Y]

well damn! I had Kulu anytime scorer but unfortunately I had Hojlund also scoring and both teams scoring loll

All 4 goals have been shocking defensively.

Well it’s Christmas, we’ve come to your house and given you 2, maybe three, it’d be rude not to give us something back…

 

[Joe Mac]

That’s appalling. Fair play to Amad the enthusiasm deserves reward but from Spurs’ point of view that is incredibly poor on every level.

Two shambolic decisions from Fraser....the fuck is he doing

I mean also what the fuck are you doing playing a quick free kick backwards at 3-1 up under the cosh in a nervy stadium. Push everyone up, take an age to take it and boot it long.

This is insane. This isn’t brave or principled it’s just idiotic. Read the game; stop playing in your own half and inviting pressure.

This is making me a little crazy and I support the team it’s benefiting.
