We should have beaten Monaco
1 min read
Watching the Tottenham game, a few things became apparent. Kieran Trippier had a bit of work to do to put pressure on Kyle Walker. There was an occasion in the first-half when he needed to move forward to give a passing option that would allow an attack into space, however he stopped and the pass to him then left no option to attack so we went backwards again.
He was staying off his man too far much giving him ample room to cross the ball to a very tall centre-forward. Two minor points you may say. but they one stops us attacking and the other allows the opposition to create chances.
On the other side Danny Rose was hanging back several yards behind the rest of the defence when the ball was through the middle and a pass was on to the other side. He played everyone on and made the passing option easy after our whole midfield had been taken out with one central pass. At another time, he made a crucial interception a few yards from goal so good and bad.
Lamela was playing passes others weren't reading, Kane is struggling for form and clinical finishing cost us a victory. We had enough chances to sew this game up easily, but we kept missing clear cut chances. They are a side who concede goals, they should have done so again. We really must start to improve that.
