Tactical Flexibility

too predictable, too easy to counter, we really do need someone that offers something different, another forward, transfer window ratings slipping from a 9 to 7 now

Or maybe Son could stop playing like a puussy and attempt to keep the ball or at least do the basics. Not too much to ask from a footballer is it?

If you watched last night there were plenty of times when Kulu was inside and Emerson was wide on the right.

Plenty when Son is inside, Perisic wide or also inside and Davies also supporting play.

Kane dropping deep, Kane leading the line. Son attacking in wide positions or through the middle.

There is plenty of dynamic movement going on in Spurs team if you actually look beyond the notional formation.

Agreed but the final ball was missing time and time again.

We are still a non possession based football team who do not press or have regular patterns of play.

You are deluding yourself if you think we play another brand of football. It's 5 4 1 out of possession and hit them on break 85% of the time.

Apologies, one pattern of play is Dier standing on the ball posing and slowing everything down to suit his pace which is slow. Then when he knows all the cameras on him, he launches a 50 yard punt to the oppo keeper.

Then shouts and points because he know gullable fans love that.

Edbo, I would like to see Conte move away from his three at the back from time to time. Spurs simply do not have quality CBs to play that system all of the time. More creativity needed in midfield from my point of view.

am struggling with the football

have been since 2016/17

real slog to watch most games and stressful

we have better squad options although not perfect but Conte hasnt really done anything different, especially in defence where if we are going to play 5 of them and theyre going to make up most of the bench each week we have to be able to switch things up more in the game with fresh subs

Emerson playing all the game yesterday was weird although he didnt have a bad game, we seemed content to not push to win the game which with how meh WH looked seemed not much of a stretch

Richarlison should have come on earlier and we only made one sub

need Lucas and Bentancur back next game to balance the bench for next game, and really need to sign a forward minimum today but that being Dan James is just laughable

we have about 55 wingbacks so fat chance of that

the quality of CBs has been masked by the 3 at the back. them in a back 4 would expose them even more, we wouldnt keep half the clean sheets.

weve signed Spence and Lenglet in the positions we wanted better in and havent seen enough of them yet, its frustrating but at the same time we havent been leaking goals so not sure if Conte sees it that way, as too much of a risk

but when you play this system you need to be able to also have more attacking, proactive defenders as they make up half your outfield players

should ask Conte why he was even playing

I think if your asking for flexibility from Conte, you may as well ask for a new manager same thing

Need to see creative solutions to Romero being out rather than just playing dav and marching on
