Tottenham is playing Newcastle today in 17:30 Central European Time and I already feel defeated. Ange said skipper Son Heung-min is under question mark for this game because of the knock he received against West Ham. Yes yet again they come to our stadium to injure our players and we failed to injure anyone of them... Someone publish on twitter that Phillips removed Son from his fantasy team which should mean he's definitely off.
Fact that defeated me more than Son absence is thought that I will watch yet again Lo Celso on number 10 role. where a part from shooting on goal he can't do absolutely anything, and Dejan Kulusevski on right wing where he can't do anything except returning ball 10m backward.
Dejan Kulusevski played like the dragon in position number 10. He was man of the match or at least our best player in those games and just because Lo Celso scored two goals (one of them was big luck after little deflection vs Aston Villa) Ange decided to move him where he can't do anything. What is Lo Celso offering ? What is that kind of creativity ? What did he create ? How many big chances did we make vs West Ham ? How many one twos did you see ? I saw best action when Deki came in the middle and found Johnson on the left, but his cross has been blocked by Zouma and ball hit post. Lo Celso offers just shot on goal from 16-20 m. and nothing more. We won't win anyone with him in number 10. He can't trick opponent and go around him. He can't make amazing heel pass and send ball in space for team mate like Deki can!
I still remember that grinding of Aston Vila in first 30 minutes at home. I still remember Deki's assistance to Porro for goal in one game and for Johnson on left couple of times. Ange ffs you have No.10 in Madders absence and his name is Dejan Kulusevski. I know I will lose this game because Newcastle is better squad, but at least give me something to enjoy in this game. Lo Celso on 10 and Kulusevski on right wing is torment.
We're going to lose this game easily. It's terrifying how Newcastle player find each other with opponent in front of them. They find space and send fast ball straight in feet of team mate, they have plenty of learnt actions, they know how to pass ball in space too. It's going to be hard watch. I expect defeat with goal margin of 2 goals.
Remember those defeats are not coach fault, but fault of Daniel Levy and ENIC who decided to start season with 2 central backs to save money for some hotels.
