Silva our best player so far.

We are nothing like the team we were last season, no intensity, no intelligence in play, not dominating the midfield, we have just become defence and play to Lukaku, really not enjoying this, we are regressing.
 

We have all the players, nothing is missing, one of the most complete teams in world football, we just need to find our groove. 

Mount not in sync with the game and Havertz is so frustratingly pedestrian.

Havertz loosing almost all the duels, if he could just be 10% more aggresive and determind he would win most of them. There is so much room to counter in and we have had plenty of chances to do so, but the decision making for the final pass is just dreadful.

Underwhelming first half. A few chances we messed up. 
 

I said it earlier werner should be playing this game. 

Give Kai/Mount 10-15mins then swap one of them for Timo if things don't pick up 

Not a good half, tactically not working that well. We're just not creating anything. Not sure why we drop off at the front and let them play out, when they cause us a lot of problems pressing us at the other end, but presumably Tuchel has his reasons.

Need some more pace or just something a bit differernt going forward, maybe Werner or Ziyech. Mount and Havertz aren't really doing anything.

Doubt there will be a halftime change, but if Havertz don't improve alot, then put Werner on for him.

Too early to make this judgment imo

If tuchel gets kante and Werner on and pumps up the players to up the intensity this is a team we should beat all day. 
 

We are piss poor they are playing out of their skin and we have still had the far better if the chances 

Spurs have played well, we have coped okay though.

Silva magnificent 1st half. 

Mount and Havertz ineffectual. Some of the 'through balls' this season have been appaling. When we do get into a position to hurt them, the final pass has been terrible. 

Kovacic has been pretty quiet and struggled to break away from Ndombele.

Could go either way tbh. Attack still doesnt function as well as it should, and is the most disappointing thing having seen us spend massively in that area. Juan Mata, Fabregas, and Hazard, were all infinitely more dangerous players for us. 

Werner has to come

kind of feels like we haven't got started in this game - hoping we can bring it together second half 

Definitely would like to see Timo I think he has a great final ball his playmaking is underrated imo he's not just a goalscorer or supposed goalscorer. His pace in transition could be crucial this game. Didn't expect spurs to play so open, considering how they've played this season so far I figured they would sit back.

 

Hopefully we see Werner 2nd half, neither Mount nor Harverts warrant 2nd half involvement.

This a bad take.

It’s not a conclusive judgment it’s an observation of our current form, we just have Not got it right working Lukaku into a team that was mobile and fluid having a big target man, it’s different football and we need to master it 

We just need more from the attacking unit 

Emerson Royal must be half cow or something, man dives for grass soon as he feels Alonso's breath

Pretty uninspiring. We look like we might need an unfair advantage to actually take control of this, and therefore I have to suggest that we bring on Kanté.

Hope TT doesn't wait too long, I'd swap one of those 2 for Timo at the half

Kante and Werner would give us alot more control. it would force Tottenham to give up their press and not leave such huge spaces in behind.

Fair enough. I expect TT will fix things/find a way

We all would but he will wait until 60-65 most likely
