long season on a big Wembley pitch probably doesn't help. we look facked
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Funny no one picked up on this but that’s true.

WHL is a lot smaller than Wembley so this is the first season spurs played all home games so far on international pitch.
I say so far but it will be all home games soon.
This is probably tantamount to doing an extra few more mileage for the players. Also we got to the quarter finals and semi finals of the CL and F A respectively.
Again bigger stadiums than WHL

Hopefully these players will become accustomed to the bigger stadiums and next season will settle better and quickly to the outstanding new stadium we’ll be enjoying👍

Next season, it’s going to be awesome from financial sides to playing surface and the facilities

Just FYI............Talksport drive used to have 'The Daily Arsenal' where Durham mugged the gooooners off on a daily basis.

Although it finished some time ago, they have recently replaced it with 'the Daily Spurs' as they now see 'a dream that hasn't even been realised is about to be ripped apart'.

So if you fancy hearing Spurs get slaaggged off on a nightly basis, tune in....

I spose we must be doing something right

P.s Yes....I know it's talksport.....

Teams defend narrow & make it congested yet we still try and play everything through the middle
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tactically speaking, this is it in a nutshell. Previously Spurs could get away with playing three one-paced central playmakers behind the striker, because the full backs were stretching the opposition defence, pulling players out of position and leaving gaps for the playmakers and striker to exploit. Now the full backs refuse/don't have the pace to get round their opposite number, meaning the opposition can just sit back with a solid back line and congest the central space. Spurs' playmakers just don't have any options because there's no room.

Spurs are crying out for more pace in attack. That has to come from the full backs, but it would help if Poch wasn't so stubborn in playing Alli and Lamela every match alongside Eriksen. That leaves the attacking midfield comprised of three slow players and no-one to stretch the defence. Playing Son and Moura would be a good start since they can both beat their marker and draw players out of position.

At the moment, Eriksen, Alli and Lamela are left trying to thread the ball through gaps that don't exist. It's easy to defend against. Pochettino is being stubborn by not changing the setup.

This , why we’ve not recognised this is baffling
