I know.. What I was saying was, if only we could create that many chances with Lukaku.. Could be a goal fest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,958 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Kante fully fit and ready to play. Pulisic needs just a little bit more time before getting the full training loads. ZAPHOD2319 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,383 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Kante will likely start then. guddy69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoroccanBlue 5,383 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Also doubts the South Americans for Spurs will feature given they’ve had only one training session. If that’s the case we need to take full advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,926 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Don’t think there’s a chance Son and Bergwijn miss this one. They’ll both start. Expect they’ll try to do to us exactly what Villa did in the first half last weekend. Aggressively press to start out with and if they score they’ll shut up shop and play for counter attacks for the rest of the way. The right sided CB Tuchel picks tomorrow will be the key to this game. With Kane in pretty rotten form I’m much more worried about Son. Reece will need help out on that side so I’m betting Azpi will start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a trade off. I for one will always prefer the latter. When you say it's a trade off do you mean that having Rom in the side necessarily causes chance conversion to rise but chance creation to fall? I'm guessing that you do mean something like this because obviously it can't be true in general that just because a team's efficiency increases in one attacking metric it must decrease in another. If you're right about the Rom effect then I hope the number of games played so far this season is too small for us to be sure that we can't keep the improved conversation rate but also get closer to last term's creation rate. Otherwise the arithmetic is too finely balanced for comfort. Two out of seven is less efficient finishing than one out of two but, as long as we're making that many chances, it will still produce more goals.

Tomo 21,751 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I'm actually pissed Nuno is at Spurs, thought we saw the back of him when he left Wolves. Every time we've faced him bar the 2-5 he's murderered the match with his shit house tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,926 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Spuds with 4 very mobile, athletic midfielders against our 2 with Jorginho. Think we definitely needed to throw Kante straight in. They’re clearly going to press the hell out of our midfield here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs have been woeful going forward in most of their games, so I hope we take the game to them & they aren't given the chance to expose him.

Milan 17,958 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Urgh no Mendy is a blow. Not starting Kante another one. Fingers crossed Lukaku is clinical again. Losing points to awful Spurs is not an option ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
