I don't think any of us could have predicted that though to be honest, for all Jorginho's faults, composure and passing aren't generally where he's exposed
Spurs don't look like they are used to sustained pressure when they have the ball and will take an extra second to dwell or an extra touch on the ball and that hesitation to move the ball quickly is leading to a lot of turnovers.
I'm less confident about us beating them this season than I was last season, despite us having a better squad now. They've started surprisingly well with Ange.
Seems like there's some good news about Rice. Tbh though, if it's Jorginho and Elneny that's still quite good, but we should adjust the system to suit Jorginho's strengths. Havertz drop deeper probably.

Really missing Martinelli and Trossard this match

We have been quite sloppy and just look a little off. Been quite frustrating to watch and I'm not confident in a late winner for us.

Same, but I will it's safe to say we have to tone down expectations. And we really misses Trossard and Martinelli...actually we miss Xhaka.

Have to say... Spurs looked good. I think Arteta vs Ange will be held up to compare transitions

I have to reluctantly concur...Ange is a good coach, I absolutely hated that he went to the Spurs

Also, Nketiah off. Reiss at LW, Jesus at 9.

Somehow we've gone from having "way too much depth" in DM to having to resort to Jorginho, who did not rise to the occasion today.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
More just Jorginho being poor today than anything, on paper it's still the best 6 depth in the world tbh.
sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
On paper, but if Rice is out for a few weeks and Partey is still out, then it's Jorginho and El Neny, right? That's not good enough...
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Seems like there's some good news about Rice. Tbh though, if it's Jorginho and Elneny that's still quite good, but we should adjust the system to suit Jorginho's strengths. Havertz drop deeper probably.

True, I hadn't even thought about Havertz as an option. Hope that was Jorginho's one stinker of the season...
