The carefully worded questions he didn’t answer were why he hasn’t done anything about the glaring mistake of leaving Vicario so exposed when it was identified months ago, all other problems pale into insignificance next to that, shows he is having difficulty keeping up with the PL pace.

Hard to see where the next point is coming from. Every time we give away a corner it’s like conceding a penalty. We’re painfully easy to play against. If we’d started like this and ended the way we started that would show progress (like poch’s first season) but this is very worrying and what’s more worrying is that we have a manager who just doesn’t get it.

Having just seen the American football tight end push that Gabriel or saliba did to prevent cuti from scoring (when he hit the post), the misreading of "intent" to rule van Der ven offside, the foul on Kulu for the pen that was ignored, the fact that Ben Davies was also ignored until they said "erm, nah you have to go check that one Michael", we continue to be punished by the refs for their mistake against Liverpool

There was also an imo clear foul on Romero's first header where he hit the post. He was pushed with both hands mid-air, a very dangerous foul that wasn't given as Romero managed to land well. There could/ should have been easily 3 penalties in our favour. It's insane how incosistent the rules are.

Romero has just invented the false CB. 2nd highlight of my day... 1st was that I met the guy who wrote the theme to Rosie and Jim. It was a strange sunday

For Chelsea maybe put Sonny on the left and play Richy down the middle, drop Maddison and give Gio a go. We have to get back to winning ways, imagine finishing 7th and being subjected to Conference Football at grim stadiums in grim locations.

@highlandersteve9953

29 күн бұрын

Depends on if Richy is fit. He wasn't fit to play 60 minutes against Arsenal (else Johnson wouldn't have come on for Timo) so it's not looking great for him starting. We'll see.

I feel our midfield is the biggest concern as so inconsistent and seems that whoever comes off bench in the 6&8 roles actually plays well and team improves but as soon as start them they don’t perform - been thinking last few weeks that deki should he playing middle instead of Maddison who not been sake since injury - hopefully now few games in succession we’ll actually gel as def felt the 15 days gap was actually to big a gap between games

I have a straightforward question for everyone here: why aren't we placing a man on the player standing in front of our goalkeeper? I don't have the exact game details, but take the Newcastle versus Everton match, for instance. We've conceded goals from corners or free kicks because of opponents positioned in front of our goalkeeper. Despite having a 15-day break before this game, we didn't even consider addressing this issue, not to mention that Arsenal excels at scoring from corner kicks. It's frustrating because every team seems to be targeting our goalkeeper, and we only make adjustments after goals have been scored. In the recent game, we started marking the player in front of Vicario only in the second half. Am I missing something here? If my amateur eyes can spot this, why aren't the coaches seeing it? I'm sure all of you have noticed this trend over the last few games. Don't get me wrong, I love this team, our style of play this year, and I have great respect for the coach. I thoroughly enjoy every game, but this one issue is really starting to bother me.

Concentration. During set pieces players are losing the player they are meant to be marking. Perrie panic and Kulu lost focus. Placing a defender on a the player that is Infront of the keeper then they will obstruct the keeper even more. If the keeper cant see the flight of the ball. Its each ways. Goals form set pieces comes form a player losing who they are meant to be marking. Kulu has shown he is prone to losing his marker.

Hi Alasdair, greeting from Melbourne. On the topic of Vicario, he is a great character, great shot stopper, excellent with his feet but he does not command his six yard box!! We need to see the "Venom" part of his game. He should have put two hands on Ben White and shoved him so hard. He has become too intimidated since the Man City incident in the FA cup. Even at the risk of getting booked he needs to intercept corners and smash into the cluster of players. I will miss the next two games also as they are at unearthly hours of the morning for us Oz fans.

Firstly Ali we have been waiting all day now you post😳 😂 Woolwich scored only one from open play (our players distracted from pen shout), we hit the post, had one chalked off plus they were clinging on at the end. The over reaction to the result from some was as predictable as it is daft. As I watched their fans giving it large at the end I wondered how many of them were "Arteta out" only 2 or 3 years ago? Maybe some of our fans should remember that.

I know you think Postecoglou is protecting his assistant manager and trying to stop it being a thing for his players by deflecting the glaringly obvious set piece problem. But it’s not working. He’s coming across as someone who’s not seeing the problem and not trying to fix it. Of course that’s not the case, but his constant denials aren’t protecting anyone, it’s annoying the fanbase and it’s undermining the considerable amount of credibility he has built up. He should acknowledge the problem and say he’s going to do something about it.

Hi Ali, you hit the nail on the head there near the end. The players need to give us a big response on the pitch and in games. Also I reckon Ange already knows what players he wants to clear out of the squad to trim it down to allow new players come in.

We could well end up with the same points as last season or maybe 3 more than last season. Some people might say, we've done it without Kane, but even so, to only end with three more points than last season is disappointing to say the least. Son is a shadow of his former self. We are not playing to his strengths. Ange can't seem to figure out the best midfield set up. You'd think we'd have sorted out corners by now.. He talks about a project and keeping the faith. Frankly, I'm beginning to think that unless you're Pep and have a seemingly bottomless pit of money to spend, having an all out attack strategy will not work at Spurs. Remember, at Celtic, he had a big budget compared to all the other clubs, probably more than even Rangers. So, not surprising he did well there.

Good afternoon, Alasdair. Only just had time to view your video. Thanks once again for your insight into all things, Tottenham. I personally feel Tottenham needs to get Sonny back to the left-hand side of the attack. He is lost at centre forward as I feel our players aren't getting the ball into him. We need Richi in the middle. Also, I think Madders needs to be moved to the bench for a couple of matches. I feel we need to play Deki in the middle of midfield . Put Johnson on the right.. But I am no manager, but things aren't working as they are at present. Cheers Dennis.

The biggest sigh of the season

Thank you for your insightful and balanced reflection. You're right to question the manager's stubborn refusal to address our defending from corner kicks. It comes across as very odd (arrogant?) that he steadfastly won't even attempt to fix it.

If Postecoglou can't see that defending set pieces is an issue he won't be at Spurs for much longer.

@michaellee6969

Mate please balance your spurs media consumption, listen to or read ENTIRE quotes from pressers, and think rationally. We’ve conceded a number of weak goals this season - a result of poor focus and mentality. Ange is trying to fix these problems with mentality, along with a number of other longstanding issues. I completely agree we need to be better with set pieces, but this is not our primary issue.

Good day Sir Gold, yet again an analysis of a derby to make sense of and ease the jagged mind. Our team didn't do itself any justice with that performance. I was a bit disappointed with our starting eleven when I did join the match, because I was looking for Sarr, Richarlison and Lo Celso to start at the expense of Bissouma, Werner and Maddison. By now you are going to see that I am not a fan of Maddison, especially since his return. Watching his antics irked me. Its a match that I thought with a little more conviction we would have won. Looking forward to our next derby match to see us bouncing back. COYS!!

I'm an Ange fan and I want to see him continue to build at Spurs for the next couple of seasons at least, but being at the start of a project does not excuse the poor defending from corners. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting different results.

Possession is irrelevant if you don't put that ball over the line between the sticks. Man to man marking is needed right now for THFC in my opinion , it looks like they panic at any corner. . White should have been pushed into the goal each time before any corner was taken and that commotion would have drawn ref's attention as you said. Also why is Son or Johnson in the box when defending corners? Why not leave one or both upfront with pace, this pressures opposition to think we must leave defenders out of our box because we now present them with a break away threat. Modern football teams don't do this why can't we try? Romero was immense 10/10. Terrible Sunday. Beating Chelsea is now a must. Great update AG.

Thanks again for the vids mate. The one big worry regardless of performance was the fact we got caught with an over the top ball and 2 corners, very predictable.

We are so bad at defending set pieces and the ball hit over the top that it is getting ridiculous. If I was Dragusin I would be sticking in a transfer request, conceding over 50 goals and he can’t get a game? Why not try 3 at the back including Dragusin ?

It's important that fans don't get too caught up on statistics. Possession only means something if you're actually productive with it. Arsenal played us to a tee.. They let us have the ball because they knew as long they stayed compact and narrow, we would struggle to break down their defensive construct.

Why can't Van de Ven win a header? He is 6ft3.

I loved every second of this Ali X156

The only way we fix leaking goals is to stop playing Ange ball. It worked at Celtic because the opposition week in week out was inferior. Does not work in premier league. I’m sure people will say “we are fighting for top four, so it must be working!”. Well we’d be higher up the table if Ange stopped playing with basically 2 at the back. So it ain’t working. This is like watching Ossie Ardiles Spurs, but without the entertainment. Ange will be gone after ten games next season coz he has no other way of playing. On a separate note, I don’t celebrate goals either anymore. Waiting for VAR to rule goals out has ruined football. Ridiculous to have to wait to celebrate. Football sucks right now.

Nice balanced view as always agree with your assessment of offside and pen think hard done by not to get the pen but we brought result on ourselves got to defend those corners. On the attacking options what do you think about Solomon will he be in plans or likely exit similar to Gil?

Santiago Gimenez was present in what seemed like a box to himself and his family. On instagram he posted several clips of him and his family at the venue and they only included Son’s goal, which seems weird as there were plenty of goals.

Thanks for the video Alasdair. A tough defeat to take as it could so easily have been very different, but that has been true of a lot of Spurs’ matches this season. It was certainly very odd that Vicario got no protection from his teammates when defending corners. Ange seems the only one who cannot see that Spurs have a problem with set pieces. I agree that Madison was anonymous and seems to have lost confidence. His first move when he got thw ball always seemed to be away from the opposition goal I was also frustrated by Spurs inability to dribble past the wall of Arsenal defenders especially after Werner was injured. Far too many passes just seemed to go sideways. Hopefully, a better night against Chelsea.

More confident about the Liverpool game rather than the Chelsea game!

Hi Ali I'm missing your videos. Wishing you all the best!!!!

couldn’t wait for this one

Richardson is a derby player, will do the dirty work get under the opposition’s skin and cause chaos. I agree he helped change the game when coming on

Everyone can see things will happen yet nothing is done about it. Corners were the worry with their delivery, height and our bad defending on them. Never any protection for Vicario (it all started 10 weeks ago). 2 corners, 2 goals. Add in Ben Davies does a good job at left centre back, but inevitably you knew at left back he would be got at for pace and offers nothing going forward. We had two weeks to work on putting a midfielder in there or play three centre backs. We do the same and go 3-0 down by half time. Sadly Bissouma or Hojberg, neither are good enough to start against good teams. Son should be on the left to create. Could we have got an hour out of Richarlison? Kulusevski trying to beat too many. Maddison can’t find any form. It is so frustrating. We beat Villa 4-0 and imploded ever since. Two clean sheets at home all year. Poor back up at full back. No proper top level striker who can do it all. Put prices up, build a hotel/cinema, get rid of concessions. We know how to cheer up a fan base!

It’s as clear as anything that Kulu is tripped. Anywhere else on the pitch it’s a freekick. Any other day VAR steps in and overturns that. I am STUNNED that more has not been made of that poor decision. If that was Arsenal or Liverpool, there would be a public inquest demanded!

The team is crying out for some proper wingers who can take a defender on one v one with pace and skill. I’m sorry but if we go ahead and sign Werner permanently, I think major questions need to be asked of ange

Werner is totally fine for 15M for squad depth. He just cannot be a starter.

Thanks for another therapy session. I think under Mourinho we were better at these dark arts, nowadays we are too nice sometimes. If someone annoys you in the box before the corner is taken just push the shit out of him. COYS

Hi Ali, hope your keeping well. After few days pass now I’m slowly coming to terms with my mood and beginning to feel better. I just wanted to say after hearing your podcast show? I agree with you. I also want to touch on the starting line up. I think Ange also started the wrong line up. I would have started with Son on the left, Brennan on the right and Rich, as the No 9. I also would have started with Sarr over Hojbjerg. Also I have a different question I like to ask and curious for opinions. What do you and others feel about Romero switching roles and can he play as a No 6?

Happy Easter to you and your family, Ali 👍

Hey Ali, how you going, haven't seen you here for 9 days and no Gold & Guest either... hello? hello?

How significant do you think the loss Of H Kane has been to our defending of set pieces. He used to clear a lot of corners and free kicks from my memory!

Enjoy your trip buddy, looking forward to hearing from you on your return. 🇭🇷

After watching this video about defensive corner coaching and our switch from hybrid to zonal last season. We are playing a zonal system this season and it looks awful. It made me think Harry Kane made us look decent on defensive corners with all his near post headers he won. Now that hes gone every ball is getting in.

I had Spurs finishing 3/2. Its still a wonder what would it be like if the Chelsea game had been different, Finishing 5th is still a good season. Many expected Spurs to struggle finish 8tth. Have to remember Spurs went through a whole month of playing make shift CB. Also feel the players have to be playing more then one game a week to get the flow going. Will be interesting who comes in the summer. Spurs aren't being outplayed. Its individual errors that is causing issues. Player switches of for a sec leads to goal.

I don’t care if the coach looking after set pieces is a specialist or not. I care that it appears that Jedinak is not up to the task.

I agree with you in we need a player who can put a ball trough a needle because maddison is not doing it thats why i think donely would suit anje and us perfectly he is fantastic at treading balls trough the lines to set players up and also i think bearknshear should also be brought up to the squad what a player he is both donely and berknshear will only inhance us

To have no set piece coach and specialist defensive coach is unacceptable. Postecoglou high line with no plan B or C for In game matches is also unacceptable. Surely something which Levy is seeking to address?

So we do have a set piece coach who is ineffective due to evidence shown in matches. This suggests we need to seek a new set piece coach!

Maybe an alarming news to Spurs fans, but here we go. As someone who used to follow A-League, J-League and K-League alot, I knew (even 10 years ago) that Postecoglou had issues with defensive system, especially set-pieces. He said something like "fixing set piece is not a priority" but he never actually got to fix them in his entire career. This time he has to fix it, or he will lose his job before Christmas.

That’s not true. In his first season at Celtic, they conceded the second most from set pieces. By his second season, they conceded the fewest. So clearly he has had this issue before but he’s worked on it if given the time.

@@joeymorace He didn't fix it with training at Celtic. He bought expensive players, making the value of squad more expensive than rest of the league teams combined (except for Rangers). We have city, liverpool, arsenal, utd, chelsea who can spend lot more than us and keep better overall quality of squad. He has to find another way.

No need for a specialist coach ffs! Just shout "WHO hasnt got a man?" Then designate each player to mark an opponent, also Romero or somebody should've got hold of White,even give him a dig, to keep away from the Keeper. THAT'S what's needed and perhaps a player on the near post from a corner.

Romero is not a number 6! But yes he’s amazing 💪🏼

We were a bit unlucky in the Arsenal game but we still lost. I can see defeats to Chelsea, Liverpool and City (actually our heart may not be in this game to frustrate Arsenal). Hopefully we will beat Sheffield and Burnley and scrape fifth place. Consideration should be given to dropping Maddison who is absolutely awful and replaced for le Celso. Richarlison, is hopefully fit, and should play (Sonny is not a centre forward and should play on the wing). Hojbjerg should keep his place.

These last games we should try Romero at the 6 he’d be a wrecking ball and has a decent passing range

@AlasdairGoldjournalist Can you please answer the question for your next video why Mikey Moore is getting so much first team time ahead all of the youth players who aren't busy with the U21 campaign. At 16, is he seen as a talent that's going to come through sooner?
