Tottenham lost match away from home against Bournemouth with only 1:0. It was game during which hosts had 3 goals higher xG than away side, it was like 3.60 vs 0.60, but I am not worried. It's because I know now what they are trying to do. It's very cunning and smart and let's see what it is. It's attempt to show to entire world they have no clue about football, that they can't pass, shoot, do football actions and on the other side also have no clue how to defend. It's all with purpose to relax other teams in cup games just to show up true colors in those encounters and take one or more trophies like League Cup, FA Cup and Europa League.
Spus started good with some promising attacks ended with poor attempts on goal by "the best" Dejan Kulusevski. Winner in life shot once straight into Kepa and I'd save that poor attempt and other two times fired ball 2 meters away from goal pretending like he can't hit the target at all. Then third time he had one on one with defender and managed to get blocked. If that was Isak or Gordon that would be at least two goals. Maddison felt a lot of times on the ground, tried to complain to referee after he made obvious foul by kicking the opponent and pretended like he can't do much on the pitch. He had one attempt from corner and one shoot little wide from goal after turning on other side. Son was on the bench until second half and once he came in he didn't do anything a part from feeding opponents with balls for dangerous attacks on Spurs goal.
Laughable Sunday league goal happen during first half. In pre game of it Udogie hit Dragusin with ball close to goal pretending he's playing for Bournemouth and ball went into corner. Those two missed the ball which went toward far away post for easy header tap in. There was one more situation in which I already saw ball inside the net, but Forster did great save with his hand.
Some fans thought it's the worst half, but Spurs players showed they can play even worse that that in second half! They disappeared from the pitch after one goal has been disallowed for offside, Ben Davies did his hamstring and Ange did wrong substitute because he didn't send Daniel Levy who didn't buy left central defender during summer on the pitch. Instead of overpaid owner he threw half injured future Real Madrid star Pedro Porro and moved his great signing Archie Gray in central back position. At that point Tottenham squad collapsed and home side started to make dangerous attacks and big chance after big chance, but Forster saved a lot of them! There was "something else" moment when he had opponent sprinting toward him but he sent ball over him right and sent him left and then in cool blood sent correct long pass toward team mate on center! Another "something else" moment when he deliberately made an error pass toward someone on the edge of the box just to save one on one situation and to catch two opponents into offside trap for disallowed goal. :) He completely ruined confidence of opponents with that! Helpless coach Iraola watched that in anger and started to change attackers one by one, but no one was able to score goal against one who "stands 6 foot 7 on the goal of our eleven" Fraser Forster!Spurs goalie looked like he had some magnetic field in his gloves which attracted balls toward him!
I am sure entire Premier League and good part of world are laughing at Tottenham Hotspur at the moment. They all think we can't play football, we're clueless and that they can easily eliminate us from cups. Like I said it's very cunning way to relax big boys and to knock them out from cups after!
There were some lovely scenes after the game when away fans booed to players and one even told Postecoglou in face he is Postenoclue! LOL! Australian was angry showing finger to himself asking asking me and then nod in sarcastic way.... Believe or not this squad is playing Chelsea, Liverpool in nearby future. What do you think will happen in those games ? I don't know for that but I can guarantee you we'll show true colors against Manchester United in League Cup.
