    There's always hope, Frodo

    Since when has the 4th official started refereeing games?
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Since Conte raging on the touchline, waving an invisible yellow card.

    So. It's going to be like that is it.

    That’s moyes point

    We just can't defend any more. Can see us getting beaten heavily here.
  • whupathmanwhupathman
    We need a left sided Cb as Arthur needs the help
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Tbf we look dangerous everytime we go forward, just were all over the place defensively

    Also, it's been done to death but Soucek is having a torrid season and not just scoring, his passing and decision making leaves a lot to be desired

    Bowen, Vlasic and Lanzini looking dangerous

    Benny for Ashby half time
  • alderzalderz
    I think we do alright in a back 3/5 when it’s our first choice players, but these lads (specially Johnson, Diop and Arthur) seem to be really struggling with it. I’d like to see Benrahma or Fornals on for one of the fullbacks and switch to a 4 at half time
  • LukerzLukerz
    We look fine but we look like a side with a reserve back five

    Which is what we are

    I’d rather Masuaku or Johnson off rbh. Ashby has looked composed, at least
  • Dodger58Dodger58
    I’d leave Ashby on, maybe rest Johnson - coming back from injury and playing in (yet another) new position for him. He’s done OK, but I think it has knocked Dawson & Diop out of their comfort zone.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    A reserve back five shouldn’t mean they become clueless as to how to defend. They all train together in the same way. They may make the odd mistake but Spurs are being allowed to stroll through.
    Not sure what Moyes can do to shake this up though.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Go to a back four & bring on Benrahma or Kral to get more control in midfield
  • SlackerSlacker
    Pretty even I thought, if it wasn’t for Lloris we’d be at least 2 up.
    Great pass from the world class Dier for our goal to be fair.

    Lots of good quick play, a nice goal, good response to going behind

    Spurs is all Kane & that’s really it

    We do need some defenders in January as we get back four is struggling without Zouma/Ogbonna

    Midfield still doesn’t do enough for me defensively, that’s Rice & Soucek
  • Dodger58Dodger58
    I think Kral is a good call, plenary of skill out there, Kral would help tidy up in midfield and maybe free Rice & Soufal up a bit
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Don't think we've done badly generally, but defensively we haven't been up to standard and the goals we've conceded are both poor how close they could get to our goal
  • Brother_SledgeBrother_Sledge
    tight offside for their second but no VAR
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    I reckon Spurs will bring on Son second half because they’ll see that he will have the freedom of our final third so we need to shore up our midfield somewhat.
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    There will be no subs until after the 80th minute.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Liverpool reserves getting beaten, Chelsea reserves drawing so this cup could open up to a fairly comfortable route to the Europa League next year.
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    Yes time to be adventurous bring on Kral and let Rice or Soucek become a centre forward, both have proven they can find the net and without Antonio we need more threat.

    No. But they have to work also with the DMs. And when they aren't as experienced working together as a unit in a match situation ( much more intense and fast paced than training), a small error by 1 quickly escalates...

    Neither of them are anything like a CF, imo. Soucek’s threat mostly has been from arriving late into the box, and Rice’s brilliance is running with the ball from deep. Kral coming on might free them up to get further forward, but definitely to play up top, for me

    Agreed but it’s errors by more than one that worries me. Also Diop, Dawson and to a lesser extent Arthur have all played many games with our DMs
  • whupathmanwhupathman
    why was that not a yellow on skipp
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Not yellow, apparently.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Got sprinkled with some spare Harry Kane magic dust.
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    Because we didn't scream in the refs face.
