Soccer / ryan mason

If you thought I will forget easily that humiliating defeat against Wolves with only 2 chances during entire match you are wrong! Here is picture of person responsible for leading attacking drills in Tottenham. His name is Ryan Mason and he is Daniel Levy's favorite "care taker manager". I am not sure for Poch time, but he was in club and staff under Jose and Conte and took charge of club after their departure! Football London journalist who is following Tottenham Mr. Allasdair Gold described his training sessions like "very exciting, attacking training sessions". My understanding is that he is person in charge for attacking drills under Ange too. I have bad news players still don't have a clue what to do in front of disciplined setup defense. This problem existed under Poch, Jose, Conte and now under Ange and having Maddison in the squad seems doesn't help very much. Lads can't create three chances against Wolves and players like Craig Dawson, Totti (not the legend from Roma but one with very limited football skills who is playing in defense) etc... We were always very dangerous when opponent gives us space to exploit. We were deadly in that under all Poch, Jose, Conte, but when opponent sit deep and defend in disciplined way Spurs players have absolutely no clue what to do. I thought good number 10 like James Maddison will solve that problem, but he didn't. There are no good actions, one twos, shoots from distance from good positions, dangerous crosses, high De Brune like balls over heads which can find team mate, there is nothing a part from dull passing of ball and equally stupid "phone call" combinations which are easily intercepted. Corners also don't produce chances for us, but can produce counter attacks etc... If you looked serious clubs like Inter and Atletico Madrid playing CL yesterday you could see it is possible to create chance against disciplined and well drilled and setup defense like Atletico have. It was worrying stark contrast compared to Tottenham game against much weaker opponent like Wolves. Inter had many chances for Martinez, Thuram, Arnautovic etc... How can they do that against stronger opponent and Spurs can't vs weaker ? Answer is simple. They are doing good attacking training sessions, they are not bringing in plonkers like Brian Gil, Timo Werner, Brenan Johson or Richarlison but real players in attack, they don't keep bellow average players like Ben Davies or Emerson Royal for years and the most important they do football training hard and probably don't "dance on the dancing floor" or hang out with players from bitter rivals. It's no wonder Ange told "I am football coach not a magician" after this defeat. Indeed you need to be very big mage to make Werner shot properly on goal, Johnson to control ball or Richarlison to receive ball good or Gil not to fall during little stronger wind or to force Kulusevski to engage opponent in front of him more often. I saved one good joke for the end. Maddison was asked who is the best in squad with ball in feet and he replied Manor Solomon. All I saw from him is ability to pass to open team mate and to move ball near opponent and to crush into him after and fall. This football club is indeed an utter joke. If it is not Ryan Mason would be sent to some other club long time ago. Tomorrow I'll write about defending coach Mile Jedinak who is also "little stronger" coach.
