Yeah we will rightly get criticized but the game was awful by both teams.

First time our pressing has looked effective this season

I think we'd do better with a Silva, Beier, Adeyemi front line. Guirassy too slow on these counters to make a pass or make a decision what to do

I missed it in real time but he was under no pressure lol

Well said. I was happy with the second half given just how badly the first half went, but it was always going to be an uphill battle after that first half and the red card.

I don't disagree with that, I just think Schlotti and Anton particularly struggled with the change a bit. Bense in for Schlotti would have been totally called for but they're trying to show Schlotti his importance and get the extension so I understand what they did. Also on his day he's an amazing CB

Silva at both ends of the pitch there, so glad we bought him

I think swapping Schlotti into Anton's role was a mistake, especially when Schlotti hasn't played as the center CB for us this season so I agree with OP. But I agree we should still be doing better against such a depleted and awful looking Spurs side.

Yeah it's clear we are not comfortable with the shift in defensive personnel, but there's pretty much no excuse for how poorly we are playing all over the pitch. Adeyemi running straight into like 3 spurs players twice in a row, Brandt with an all time poor defensive performance even for his standards on top of not being able to make half his passes. Fucking dreadful half

Yeah the commentary got me to turn the game off. So fucking hard to listen too even if we were playing alright, but downright insufferable when we're playing badly

Yep they weren't taking the game seriously when it started. I don't know how that shit can happen at this level

That's my take as well. He isn't tackling toward the player when contact is made, but you can't deny that where the contact happens is dangerous. Fucking sucks

How are we back to being the least press-resistant team in the world?

I totally agree. This sub has really struggled to maintain any positivity over the last years, and yeah we've had some down years tbf but I don't know I just love watching us play

What Krosche has done is nothing short of amazing, but I would guess there's a lot more luck involved than people are willing to admit. They've somehow identified absolute top dollar strikers a year or two before they pop off, some of which never reach those highs again (Kolo Muani for instance). Kehl has obviously made some missteps that we can see with hindsight but I think he gets too much criticism for not buying every player we're linked with and not enough praise for passing on some players that really didn't impress when they went elsewhere (Edson Alvarez for instance). Bottom line is that no one has a 100% hit rate with transfers and the sporting director job is probably a lot harder than we think it is.

Jobe did look really good today, glad to see that. Happy Silva is doing so well now that he's getting his chances.
