Maddisons now out for a few months, Udogie and Romero out for a bit, City coming up. Ultimately I don’t think they have the squad depth to keep the charge going.
But sure they undoubtedly had a good run but I guess people were right, City are inevitable…
I said to my mate it was like God handcrafted the most disastrously awful 90 minutes possible.
Could’ve been a lot worse if Jackson converted more of his chances, although I thought you lot played well even with 2 men down…there is nothing about that loss to be ashamed of imo
I disagree…
Chelsea had lost two matches already this season to a 10 men side. Tottenham could have set up a low block and still hit Chelsea on the counter.
But instead played a high line and probably factored in to Udogie getting a second yellow.
The high line against a team that hasn’t once broke down a low block yet this season is questionable.
He had 6 shots and 3 goals… 50%. Correct me if I’m wrong, but that pretty normal for a ST?
There’s nothing normal about the 3 he missed
Oh yeah there’s no shame at all, we clapped the players off the pitch. Gave it everything we were just undone by a combo of individual mistakes and injuries. These things happen
People will say “but it almost paid off” but you have to realise Anges’ tactical naivety here. Nine times out of ten premier league teams will have a field day with a high line like that against 9 men, it was only our shocking performance in the final third that meant it wasn’t a total embarrassment. He’s said he’s gonna keep playing that way but imo there is a need for pragmatism to win trophies and if he won’t show it then, when will he?
This match was just another example of why Spurs don’t win shit. Even when they were playing decent for 15 minutes and went a goal up they lost their heads and honestly threw that game. If they hadn’t had a good run of form until then, people would be talking about it like the disastrous performance it actually was. Enjoy your spirit and character trophy lol.
what goes around comes around
not that yall deserve this
Honestly trying to remember the last time we were hit this hard with injuries and suspensions.
Perisic, Solomon, Sessegnon, Bentancur, Maddison, Van de Ven, Johnson, Richarlison, Gil, & Romero will now all have missed a month+ either through injury or suspension (Romero) by December.
I have said the same. It really felt like gods Intervention. We might have different gods though ;)
Honestly though watching spurs with 9 defend that well for so long was really cool. They were out there working their asses off (after a point they had to chase the game and it got away from them as it does).
I liked it tbh
Only way it’d have gone worse for spurs is if it happened in a game vs Arsenal
