Leif 6,006 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Just now, bluephoenix said: how are we doing? Who is the better team so far? Reading the skysports live feed it looks like spurs have the edge?> I'd say they're a sharp knife and we're a blunt knife but really they're a knife and we're a spoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhForAGreavsie 6,075 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 40 minutes ago, -Kaplan- said: Matic and Kante are decent enough passers to get the ball out. Matic has a few assists this season already. Think you're underestimating them. Fabregas in this game would be suicidal. Matic can pick a pass, like most players, when he is facing up and around the edge of the box. That's not the issue however. When in possession in the middle of the park he simply doesn't have the right combination of technical quality and speed of thought. Throw in his chronic one-footedness and he is almost always compelled to play the ball backwards. Momentum negated, potential attack killed. Swap Matic for Dembele and our improvement would be huge.

Always wanted Demebele. The perfect partner for Kante.A box to box to help him cover the back, and help the front spring an attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's when he works his magic. We're still doing well. But questions have to be asked when a team which rarely plays our formation, plays it better than us. They have better athletes at wingback, and better technicians at CM. Makes a huge difference to their fluidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 We shut out Alli for 40 minutes and looked comfortable enough. He's left wide open in the box, and now he's everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
