robsblubot 3,595 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 When you play false 9, without a dedicated striker, you are far more likely to have possession and far less likely to score goals. It's a choice the manager makes depending on the quality of the opposition. Had we had an actual good striker, or a proper false nine, of course the decision would have been much easier. Even good crossers are wasted since we actually play with midgets up front (no aerial game whatsoever). Spurs are the better side with players who have been playing together much longer.

Laylabelle 9,539 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Also frustrating is we didn't play that bad! Except that doesn't matter and they're just ones with the lead. We just keep having these games of not scoring. Worrying trend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is another yellow for Rose? Another thing is, we have a bunch of pussies at the moment. Terry, Lampard, Drogba or Costa would stand up for challenges on Hazard. That Sissoko one with the studs down the back of Hazards leg was a disgrace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeboii 1,844 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 We played very well. Owned 70% of the game. Spuds players were really scared in the second half hoofing it up just to get a moment to breathe. If we have this game again in the second leg we can win I am sure of it. CHO is really, really good! Sarri has to keep playing him and the board has to make him stay. At least until the summer because we NEED him right now. Only gripe I have with him is that his shooting is kinda weird, and almost always goes straight at the keeper. I get what he is trying to do, a low shot in the bottom corners (most effective shots tbh), but he might want to think about just putting his laces through instead of overthinking his shot. I am quite content even though we lost. If we play like this every game for what is left of the season we can easily get top four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adnane 1,101 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Let's not get carried, Kane was clearly onside and the Rose and Alderweireld handballs weren't really ones, players hands were in a natural and regular position.Encouraging second half , definitely a step forward in terms of competing and getting ahead of Spurs whi have at least a couple years advance on us in terms of work, still, huge system limitations without a sick goalscorer or a proper false nine.

Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 What I am reading is exactly the stuff Spuds fans used to write when they faced us in the past and usually lost. Thing is their club is going in the right direction and ours is going towards plenty of years of mediocrity. The person who suggested and the person who decided to give Marcos Alonso a new contract should fly out of the fucking door as soon as yesterday. And Hazard will leave. He is fucking sick of this false 9 shit, you could tell from million miles away. He is just not the person that will moan and sulk about it although he has every right to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget the refs. What about his own team mates? He has been brutally fouled week in week out, there were 4(?) yellows only on him, 2 in the space of 2 minutes. And there is no team mate who would fucking defend him, who would shout the hell at the ref and push the opposition player. Hazard must feel so alone in that moment. This would never happen if we had proper fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,984 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 We've spent £70m on a top keeper, £60m on Pulisic. Why can't we go out this month and pay literally whatever it takes to sign a striker? Icardi or Cavani, fucking someone who will finally settle the position for years to come. We can push Spuds for that 3rd spot if we do that. We will really struggle to fend off Arse and United if we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
