    Match Threads Chelsea vs Spurs

    Thought the first 15 minutes and last 10 were okay actually. Our possession is pretty aimless though, very predictable. We get lulled into a slow tempo by teams then get caught ahead of the ball by a poor touch or pass. Echo calls for Lo Celso, Bentancur and Maddison on. I’d bring Son off too...

    Amadou Onana

    Saw enough in that 45 minutes against Chelsea that we should stay well clear. Poor touch and technique under pressure and didn’t seem that fussed with what was going on around him.

    Santiago Giménez

    Yeah he’s made for the premier league. Probably the only risk is injury really

    Santiago Giménez

    From what I saw of Celtic he got involved in some build up play as well running in behind too but sounds like Gimenez doesn’t have that acceleration/running ability. You also have to take into account Celtic are on a different level to everyone bar Rangers in that league so you can afford...

    Santiago Giménez

    I’m not going to pretend I’ve seen much of Gimenez but from the outside, it’s a classic Spurs signing. Scouted him since before the current managers been in the job. Not in great form, probably not too much competition and likely fairly cheap for a centre forward. If he comes it might work out...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Ben Davies

    Would of legitimately been a harder chance for Saka if he just wasn’t there, just stopped at the halfway line, at least Vic could come and narrow the angle. Actually helped him score that goal. Scared defending. I’d be surprised if he starts Thursday

    Lo Celso should definitely have got more opportunities. Everything is so crowded in the final third I don’t think those threaded balls have been on very often personally, probably why Maddison is struggling to impact games currently.

    Spurs and VAR

    I think it has to be a deliberate play on the ball. Looked like a close call with Tomiyaso. Kind of seemed like he moved his foot towards the ball but haven’t really seen a good replay of it. It looked like VAR didn’t even consider it and went straight to the offside.

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    Centre forward has to be priority number 1 this summer. Would rather go big for as sure fire thing as you can get than a punt at 40m that could cost us more in the long run. It’s by far the biggest issue in the final third, much more than wide players. There’s very little hold up, link up and...

    Was going to come and say this. He’s still tidy on the ball. He’s a bit ineffectual but I think a lot of that has to do with what’s happening in front of him and how the team attack in general. Maybe the power of kulusveski might be more effective the rest of the season as the combination play...

    I’d have him as a 6 or an 8 as well. He’s got the attributes to do those jobs.

    Player Watch: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

    The second goal, I think he’s level or close with Saka when the ball breaks down, then just stops. that was Bisoumma they’d be 20 posts about it. PEH no one’s even noticed it. Bit odd. Second half he was stationary around the edge of our penalty box for long periods. Zero mobility getting to...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    It’s the number one priority. We need to go as sure fire as we can in that position. It will cost us more in the long run if we try and be too clever and take a punt on someone a bit left field because they’re seen as better value. We can maybe do that in other positions but the CF has got to be...

    He’s got to be more proactive on these set pieces even if he makes a mistake. If he doesn’t we need a new goalkeeper. It’s harsh because I like him but you can’t be continually getting pushed behind the line on these and even then not getting in line the highest point of the ball. When someone...

    Player Watch: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

    Give it a couple of weeks people will be calling for him to start again or saying we should keep him next year. I’ll say, it’s impressive how he manages to convince people in here. Bisoumma gets abuse for a lot better performances than that. He’s lazier off the ball than Bisoumma but he’s got...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    Davies needs to come off. He’s just backing off giving them angles to shoot.

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    General plays been okay. They’ve just done a number on us. Davies was shocking for the second. Gave him so much space on the outside yet still couldn’t stop him coming inside. Want to see the offside again to see if the shot was a deflection or a deliberate play on the ball.

    You’re not going to get a foul if you stay on the line. Biggest reason why we’re conceding from corners

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    Good points. Definitely food for thought. Id say though for me it’s not really any different to a traditional full back. Sometimes coming infield in the build up going on the outside in the final third. How we built up with rose and Eriksen/Son coming inside(in different ways). Every...
