Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 Everton (Sat 24 Aug, 3:00 PM)

Is he making any subs? If not, is he changing tactics? If not, can we ask the ref to blow for full time

Are we sure Dyche even thinks that half was bad?

 

[atrottel]

It's just braindead decisions all over the place.

Two in particular in the two games from experience players. Young knows full well he is going to get a red card, which is theoretically far worse than the chance of a player scoring one on one. (OK, in Young's case it might not be, but I doubt that he thinks that.)
Then Pickford trying to set up his non-wonderful long balls rather than just whacking it when he sees he is being closed down by one of the fastest PL players.

Dixon's been alright in defence, tbf. In the youth games, he tends to run into blind alleys when he goes forward, and he had one of those. But decent debut.

As you were. No need to react too early

He doesn't know any other tactics. Even different formations play the same tactics.

At least the half time show here showed a wholesome moment - Gary Taylor-Fletcher talking about dedicating his most important game for Blackpool vs the RS to his best mate who passed away before the game, Evertonian and ex-teammate Richard Butcher.

Zero shots on target / 2 down / No changes at HT !?!? Ok

 

[brucemate]

It’s because Dyche prefers running them to the ground over tactics and ball exercises, it’s basically a running club moonlighting as a football team every Saturday

With a manager who has 1 tactic and it is certainly not suited to premier league football.

 

[larbert toffee]

Aye lad but that time when we were on par or better than them (and when we took our chances, with the likes of Jelavic) are far gone

We will get there again though, you have to have belief or what's the point?

 

[BlueStevie35]

Might not be the accepted narrative but I thought Michael Keane wasn’t our worst player that half. He’s made a couple of important interceptions and decent passes out.

Tarkowski, worryingly, looking really out of sorts again. Perhaps it will all change if / when Branthwaite is back.

Tarks is on one leg basically, he shouldn’t be playing

Just been giving this some more thought guys, what if we just all agreed to support someone else? Like a pact, and we all just descend on another club and make them miserable haha

Could you imagine. Everyone from on here just rolling into a Brentford forum talking about drinking bleach and adding cheese on toast to every poll. Limbs.

ALWAYS back Everton not to score away against the Top 8. £50 at Even Money nearly every game. Gets me loads of Home game tickets for free.

No changes as expected. It’s going so well, so why would you?

 

[HappyJack]

No changes?! Staggering

 

[Evertonthat]

No changes at half time after being destroyed in the first half.... Dyche in a nutshell

 

[Blue peter]

It’s true
We have no danger in our lineups
Spurs have nothing to worry about and can keep pouring forward

Safety first isn’t always the safest

We did when Gylfi was here
