Even if positioned correctly he wasn’t getting to the AAA shot - still - he does have a history of this - the Ox goal comes to mind.I can’t wrap my brain around the best team in the world having a goalkeeper with worse positional awareness than a Sunday Leaguer.
He wasn’t late. He was about two feet short. I think he does get to it.Even if positioned correctly he wasn’t getting to the AAA shot - still - he does have a history of this - the Ox goal comes to mind.
RJ would be well rested for the mid-week GW15!Reece James just can't get his season going.
He definitely didn't look like the confident, cocky shit-stirrer he was on his good runs. Havertz getting going offensively would be nice, he's great defensively, but they've missed what Xhaka did offensively from that left side. It would also be nice if they didn't wait so late to score their goals.Ramsdale did a good job of showing why he was benched for Raya this half.
We often talk about “confidence players” in footy, and he might be the poster child. You can’t run a keeper out there in the hopes that he regains his mojo. The most likely “reboot” in my mind would be him entering a match he didn’t expect to play in (like a Raya red card or injury), make an immediate save, then grow from there. I don’t know how else you jolt him back into a high level.Ramsdale did a good job of showing why he was benched for Raya this half.
dittoThat’s the kind of goal you let up without a CB on the pitch.
Feels like it should be 6-5. Every trip down the pitch - for both sides - screams danger.This match has had 3 goals missed by an aggregate foot and 3 offside goals called back by an aggregate foot.
Yeah--good thing banked a bunch of points early, cuz December is gonna be a struggle.Spurs look gassed. But they don’t have any realistic bench options.
He is terrible. You’d expect a 38 yo with heavy mileage to have deficits of athleticism but to make up for them with smarts and savvy, like, say, Seamus Coleman, who cannot start at RB over a full season at 35 and is badly exposed by super-athletic attackers but is a vocal leader, positions himself well, and does the right thing at the right time.How is Young not relegated to garbage time at this point? There’s no way anybody could be a bigger liability.
It’s actually hard to think of a Premier League manager in recent history with tactics more geared toward attack - vis-a-vis defense - than Postecoglou. Bielsa was obviously attack minded but still played a relatively traditional back four that would sometimes become a back three. Klopp is known for being risk-acceptant and willing to throw men forward but not to the same degree as Ange. You look at a still of these Spurs matches and there are times when both fullbacks (who are attack minded wingback types at heart) are actually in the first line of attack, positioned in the half spaces in between the three forwards, then you have three midfielders behind, two of whom are pretty attacking players, and then its just the CBs relatively central as a two man line of defense.Feels like it should be 6-5. Every trip down the pitch - for both sides - screams danger.
