The best CB's attack the ball when crosses come in especially from set plays which build a presence and confidence to the defence as a whole.
We still seem to deploy this mark the space system and hope it lands on of our defenders to clear which does not seem to work at all. When it happens we can all see there's a goal coming.
I am sure this is instruction and not lack of ability and our CB's are more than capable of attacking the ball but have instructions not too

it's a massive issue. I fear for Ange to be honest. If he does not get off to good start this season then the knives will be out.
it does feel like they were so bad that it can only get better

I fear this season for us.
It looks like we are trying to be slightly more patient tactically, i then think we get countered more in the centre of the pitch, then pushing the ball out wide and concede more. Fatawu and Vardy if he starts will be licking their lips first game of the season.
Certainly do not expect us to score as many, we looked toothless last season in quite a few games with no different personnel i do not see that changing.

Another bed wetter. How come so many fellow Spurs fans are either bed wetters or Karens lol

You need to also consider the fact that your likely to play a lot more games than last season. Irrespective of if you bring in another forward your squad is still wafer thin in terms of quality certainly in the forward areas. To hit 90 goals your gonna have to be pretty much unchanged in the offensive areas. One or two injuries and Werner and Johnson are in and they more than likely won't be able to hit a barn door.

Brennan Johnson’s goals and assists stats were better than all of Trossards, Jesus, Martinelli. He wasn’t too far off Havertz either.

Five league goals aint much to write home about really though is it. Jesus and Martinelli had a stinker of a season last year and it didn't effect us. Just underlines the importence of a good squad. If you've got to rely on likes of Werner and Johnson for any period of time you won't get far I don't think that's a controversial statement to be honest.

Werner I agree, Johnson I don’t at all. He is a much better player than he is given credit for, 5 goals and 10 assists in 32 league games isn’t shabby and was better than Trossard as well as Jesus and Martinelli.
The same could be labelled at you guys - take Odegaard and Rice out and you aren’t controlling matches. Take Saka out and your attack is far less potent.
The only team who could really weather a top player missing was City - but I wouldn’t want to see them without Haaland next season now Alvarez is gone

We will have to agree to disagree on Johnson for over 50 million I think you have got to be better than what he's shown especially as he's not far off your record signing. For value for money I don't think you can compare Johnson to Trossard.
With regards to picking out other players at the start of last season you probably would of said if Martinelli or Jesus are out then we would struggle given their very good performances the season before that didn't really affect us because we have decent cover. That being said we do still need a couple which I would still think we will get in before the window closes.
