Our attackers don't receive the ball in good positions because we are so slow with our passes  at times. 

Are we playing a bad team who want to play open football or team who want to sit deep and spring forward?

I am oki with the 11 out there, just want to speed up the passing

Mourinho knows we can only play crossing football. He just loads up the middle to defend them. Booooring. Nobody has any balls to play down the middle. Shyte.

Get Havertz in for Mount and Pulisic in for Tammy.

with this kind of opponent,,i'm really miss hazard dribbling through the flank....

Sevilla, Liverpool, United and this. 

Three and a half games against best teams we faced this season and we didn't come close to scoring.

This is what happens when you play 2 midfielders who are basically useless as goal threats in Kante & Kova. They get the ball in space over and over and can't really do anything dangerous with it. 

Tammy hasn't been poor by any means but that half was a perfect demonstration of why I wanted Giroud to start. We're pumping cross after cross in there against a packed defense. Giroud would be getting on the end of some of these since he's stronger than Tammy.

best player in football to replace Kova in this set up would be (impossible to get him though) Leon Goretzka

tailor-made for this formation

Kante frustrates me when he gets in to dangerous positions, lost the ball in Spurs penalty box and we get countered right away, for a moment i tought the ref gave Spurs a FK right on HT.

gotta give some credit to Mou

he has set up brilliantly to clog the play

[Pizy 18,913]

Mount was fine. Kova was a bit redundant since we knew Spuds would let us have the ball. He's effective when we play a pressing team where he can use his ball carrying in tight spaces. He's a bit useless when we dominate the ball.

Tammy has had some decent moments. This game just doesn't suit his strengths but it suits his competition on the bench

First goal decides this I think. Lampard shouldn't be tempted into taking risks even if its obvious that the current lineup can go side to side in a spell of possession and drop crosses in. 

Game seems ideal for someone like Pulisic or Havertz to come on later

I liked Tammys performance, but I think Werner's pace might trouble them more.

its the price we pay with no threat from Kova

Kante has been superb defensively

I've had three cigarette's this first half.

For context I quit two and a bit years ago!

[Vesper 30,181]

this game is a tactical as an EPL game gets

[communicate 2,703]

We are playing spurs, not some awful team. Depending on his condition l, I will bring puli to run at Aurier. Plus it mean Chilwell can play slightly deeper to stop son run.

another player in that position would have hit a shot, take a chance ffs, its like we want to pass the ball inside the net.

We look too lightweight. Physically they are dominating us. I worry about Reguilon now that Ziyech is on a yellow and he has to be extremely careful when tracking back that he does not foul or that might be his marching orders. Can't wait till Pulisic comes on already.
