I just wonder how many other managers / coaches would play away to City with three up front , nobody to control the ball and give them the decisive passes through the lines …
Then … play two in midfield against their four ( this is Manchester City after all ) with one of the midfield just back from six weeks out injured and the other a complete shell of a bloke who even looks knackered walking out of the changing room .
He then compliments the midfield with a thirty four year old left back and a lost soul at right back and still plays three at the back ..
They then attack our wide areas which stops our marauding wing backs getting forward and exposes their frailties in the art of defending .
It’s then complimented by playing a goalkeeper that nobody , the team , coaching staff and fans , has one ounce of confidence in .
I don’t think , apart from Moura , ! we had any injuries last , which meant that Skipp could have put himself about , ( not that I’m a fan of his ) Bissouma Sarr and Bentancur could have been containing ,and getting the ball forward … Son could have been just as dangerous sitting on the bench .
The back three should have been a back four .
Richarlison would have kept their back line occupied .
Luckily for us we have a defensive coach !!!!
A proactive coach ,
A reactive coach .
A tactical coach .
“But ….. err ….. let’s win the game and we will see if we are any happier . “
That is what he said before the game .
fucking masterclass .
Me and Niall would have at least given us a chance had we been in charge . Any of our posters would have given them a proper game .
unless the team is being set up to spite the board .
This , what is being touted as a Tottenham team , is truly shocking .
