Embarrassing fall by Bowen

Guy needs to be dropped

Unfortunately with Scamacca out ill I think it was inevitable Cornet would be saved to come on for Antonio (although, knowing Moyes, Bowen would probably have started anyway tbh).

I'd like to see us take off Bowen and bring on Scamacca.

From where? 😃

Yeoldhammer

Bin off Bowen at half time and get Cornet on. Needs a kick up the back side from Moyes absolutely woeful.

MIAHammer

As much as it pains me to say this, in terms of passing and counter attacking there is a huge gulf in class between us.

OldCastleSwift

What's Dani Dyer done with the real Jarrod Bowen? 🤔

MIA Scamacca isn’t there, he’s ill.

My bad!

We’ve been ok but 1 goal in 4.5 games ain’t good enough no matter how you spin it

We're desperately lacking in the final third. Soucek, Coufal and Cresswell have just passed it backwards, and Bowen has been dreadful. Paqueta could be a wildcard; looks like we'll need something special to get something out of this one now.

MrsGrey

So, same as it ever was...

buffybegood

On the bright side, Liverpool are losing 😊

ScotHammer

When we move forwards we look quite good. But too many seem to want to go backwards. Bowen needs to be substituted, his performance is justifying our summer signings all on its own!

Well if the players cant get up for this game ,Going to be a long season

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Cornet for Bowen and Pacqueta for Soucek please

thornburyiron

The way Spurs counter I can only see them scoring again because we lose possession too easily. At the moment struggle to see us scoring at all and from being last two seasons set piece specialist we can’t kick a dead ball for love or money.

OldCastleSwift

I'm just not sure what the plan is. We rarely try to get it to the byline, and rarely cross the ball from out wide.

The ball gets recycled through midfield, back to the centre backs, out to the full backs and back into midfield, but we haven't had players running in behind the defence for a through ball. So where are the chances going to come from?

Season before last you could say set pieces, but we've been bad at those for a while.

Just all a bit of a struggle really.

thornburyiron

So no changes at half time.

OldCastleSwift

Spurs already slowing the start of the second half down. I'd say this was planned.

OldCastleSwift

Few more minutes and he'll be down again.

Given our home scoring record this season it’s going to be an uphill task from here. Kehrer isn’t having much luck giving a penalty away last time and now an own goal.

He just needs a red card for the full set.

But there's no suggestion they aren't up for it?

Yeoldhammer

I think Kehrer will come good but man looks like Winston Reid at the beginning of his career with us, everything that could go wrong did go wrong for him.

Yeoldhammer

Change it Dave. Cornet and Paqueta on

OldCastleSwift

SOUCEKKKKKKKKKKKK

Yeoldhammer

Good work from Antonio for Soucek

OldCastleSwift

Brilliant from Antonio and a great finish.

THAT'S where the goal is coming from.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

SOUUUUU

ScotHammer

Goal! Great assist by Antonio ⚒

buffybegood

Get in. Serves Spurs right after all their unsporting behaviour re: the boot.

MrsGrey

My god.

From a throw.

MIAHammer

Let's not over commit now and gift them a counter attack goal.
