Tottenham 2018-19: The New Stadium

[Captain Ron 12889]

 

Harry playing would be great, but I would prefer he get's healthy before trying anything.

I'm about to board my flight back to the US. Game updates would be appreciated

Here we go.

[Schulz2.0 29000]

Llorente is killing our attacks.

[midtown 3346]

Just saw Ajax goal. Fuck

I'm pretty sure I know exactly what attack you're talking about, and I thought the same thing. He can't hold up against these guys, he's too slow and they are WAYYYyyyyyy too fast. It has to be a full throttle attack for this game.

[Captain Ron 12889]

And the hits keep coming. And Jan is out and probably missing next week's game with a concussion.

[kingkoopa6 8377]

Would have lost my shit if Sissoko buried that 

[BigBenBamboozle 1957]

Think that overly aggressive pursuit catches up with Ajax in the back half. 

[Schulz2.0 29000]

I’ll say what I’ve said before. Not fully rotating for West Ham was a mistake. Not starting Janssen, Skipp, and KWP probably would have helped with the general fatigue in the squad.

[Schulz2.0 29000]

It would really be nice to have Janssen on the CL roster right now instead of Vorm.

[Ghost of LL 15539]

You know, I'm not altogether displeased with the result, especially given how the game started and what our lineup looked like.  It'll be tough, but this is still winnable.  

[midtown 3346]

Especially considering we played Saturday and Ajax hasn't played in what? A week?

One goal in the last 4 matches is not a recipe for success.  Hopefully, Son comes back Saturday at Bournemouth fully rested and we can get all 3 points and focus solely on Ajax. 

[midtown 3346]

I still think we win the agg. 2-2.

Sissoko being back is big. If Dier or Wanyama decide to not play like shit we could have a legitimate midfield.

[mr. littlejeans 184]

i know he has been hurt but wanyama has really dropped off this year. disappointing.

He needs to be sold during the summer.

Neither am I. 0-1 at home isn't insurmountable. Spurs have played well on the road and Ajax hasn't been their best at home. Get back a better MF, Son on the attack, this team can score goals.

[Schulz2.0 29000]

AS (Spanish tabloid) is reporting that Real has a verbal agreement with Eriksen on wages. We’ll see how much truth there is to it.

[Schulz2.0 29000]

I really hope we don’t target Andre Gomes. Also, Matt Law is pretty credible.

Vertonghen our for Bournemouth. Might play against Ajax in the second leg.

Is this the same tabloid that said Salah wanted out of LIverpool?

[Captain Ron 12889]

Yep.

Yeah, I couldn’t remember if AS was the paper that was considered the mouthpiece of RM. Apparently that’s Marca.

[Schulz2.0 29000]

The independent neurologist says no concussion for Vertonghen.

[DeepEastTexas 644]

Please just get 3 points Saturday so we can put a bow on the EPL season and throw everything at Ajax. 

One goal in 4 matches is wrecking my calm.

Updated with today's results:

Chelsea: 5
Arsenal: 3
ManU: 2

They just need 1 more win.

Let's put this shit away today.

 

From what I have seen of the first 15, Spurs are completely dictating play, just need to put on into back of the net.

[midtown 3346]

Lucas with a great chance. COYS

The team has had some great chances. They are dominating play and the Cherries are making a ton of mistakes. They are absolutely dreadful. Their keeper gave Lucas a great chance from inside the Spurs half and he wasn't far off (maybe 2 feet wide). But their defensive passing has been letting our boys have a ton of good looks.

 

They are living up to this stat

Holy Shit this goalie is having one hell of a debut at 19.

Our finishing has been horrible.

Also, Dier needs to realize he can’t get a second yellow today.

[midtown 3346]

Dier got lucky.  Looks like he missed the ball.

[midtown 3346]

Half the squad is on a yellow

[Schulz2.0 29000]

Dier needs to be subbed.

Well this went well.

[Captain Ron 12889]

Well at least Son will be rested up for the UCL game.

[DeepEastTexas 644]

The Everton game at home next week doesn't look so good now.  Better find a way to breakthrough today.

[midtown 3346]

This is comical

[DeepEastTexas 644]

Very Spursy day

[Captain Ron 12889]

Well this is how you screw the pooch.

Soccer knowledge peeps help me out. I guess all we can do is just camp out and try to draw?

[HenryJames 66139]

Park the short bus.

[Captain Ron 12889]

It has to be save the legs and defend like hell. The draw is probably most ideal.

What killed them against West Ham was a massive effort that failed to get a goal and then they wore down after the half. They were looking like they were headed for that now, but losing 2 men is going to exacerbate that failure to score.

I'm surprise that Bournemouth hasn't stepped on the gas yet. They don't look completely dangerous yet. With the massive advantage out there, they should be dominating this game.

I would think a point would be a victory at this point.

Park it and play narrow.  Maybe try to snatch one if the counter is on.  Otherwise, when you get it try to slow the tempo down to a crawl if you can.  It’s a lot less taxing to control the ball than chase it for 45.  They should be trying to save their legs for Wednesday if they can.

[Captain Ron 12889]

Down any men, but especially 2, I don't think Dele should be in the middle, but instead up top as the forward. He can't be doing his cute passing expecting it to break through.

Lucas seems better made for this formation. He doesn't do anything flashy, and make smart passes. That said, it's exactly what you want on the guy going forward on the attack, because he can pick out a man on the break. Granted I don't think anyone is going on the break if Lucas is able to get free.
