Tottenham goes through to next round of League Cup after they beat Coventry City with 2:1 result after shocking performance. I am not exaggerating if I say it was totally non deserved victory in game in which Coventry was far better side most of the time. 13. or 14. team in Championship made much more chances, they torn a part Tottenham style of play as long as player named Rudoni was on the pitch. Once he went out Spurs were better and scored two late goals near the end of regular time and deep in injury time.
Team which goes onto the pitch was Foster, Gray, Dragusin, Daves, Udogie, Bentancur, Sarr, Bergvall, Werner, Solanke, Odobert. Ben Davies had been worked out in first couple of minutes with pass through legs on center, Odobert got injured in first half and was replaced by Johnson. Third call goalkeeper made howler in first minute passing wrong ball and creating very big chance for hosts which he saved. Timo Werner looked like he is playing against Tottenham and not for them. Despite that he was on the pitch until he got injured in second half. I hope it's something serious because injury is only way this coach wiill not put him in the team.
Spurs didn't to anything worth mentioning in first half. Home side had two big chances and one situation which I'd call half-chance, while Spurs had zero. Situation came to become worse in the beginning of second half when Coventry looked like Manchester City, created chance after chance in waves while Tottenham coach Ange Postenoclue just stood and watched and did nothing. Finally after I don't know which breaking of our defense line they went into counter attack, ball went on their left side, low cross and tap in into goal happen. Home fans who didn't fill the stadium started to celebrate. In one moment they sign "Premier League you're having a laugh." Only then Postenoclue tried to change something. Suffering Bergvall went out and Maddison came in, soon after he sent in the game Son and Kulusevski who came in instead of injured Coventry player Werner. Dejan was only one who showed some skill and that he is actually above this midtable championship level. Spurs had couple of opportunities and promising attacks, but we need to wait until the end to see goals. First was after Djed Spence made run inside the box and score, while other was Brennan Johnson's goal who ran into the box to receive ball sent in space which he sent it inside the net. Welshman didn't celebrate it much because too big online abuse he's getting. I am aware he is not right player for right wing, criticizing him for bad performances is one thing but telling him to kill himself for some pictures he published on social media which are not related to football is really too much. Fans should stop that asap because he's not guilty he's not footballer we want him to be, guilty are person who brought him into this club and person who appointed that first person in position. Anyway in this game he scored nice goal from big chance and as Sky told "Kept Postecoglou's dream about 4 trophies alive". Yes I know, I know they are just mocking Spurs.
After the game during which Coventry created 6-7 big chances and 5-6 dangerous situations and Spurs only 3-4 coach went out saying "There is no quick fix." Mate you are here for more than year, you spend 300 or 400 millions on new players to show you can't be better than midtable Championship club which also made 6-7 changes in lineup ?! Come on, come on be serious! Tell us why they looked like Man City, why Spurs players looked like they want to concede goal, why Bergvall looks like he saw ball first time in his life, why Gray is not showing anything, why Werner looked like Coventry player, why Solanke can't do anything ? They are all your signings! At the end tell us why you didn't give chance to Moore ? What need to happen so this boy gets a chance to come on the pitch ? Why you put third call goalkeeper on goal and kept him despite penalties would happen in few minutes ? FFS he is diving on slow motion! There is zero chance he can save penalty! Did you want to get out of cup maybe ? If so why is that ? Who ordered you this ?
Next rival is much more serious. It's average mid table Premier League team Brentford. In last game against them Angelos made me switch off my TV on half time because suffering performance and very big number of chances for Brentford. I got upset to the point I switched off tv just to see later it's 3:1 and 3:2 for Spurs. I hope Tottenham can win this game because there are Manchester United and Brighton waiting after where we will hardly take any point. I know this players can do better when they seriously want to play the game contrary to on Wednesday.
