Mount isn’t even playing. This has nothing to do with Mount and everything to do with trying to run it back with 2 of the top 3 most important defensive players being 31 and 30 with 0 replacements. Also has a ton to do with outside of Rashford and Antony this team is pretty damn slow.
Not blaming mount. The money used on a player that isn’t needed is the issue. Could’ve got a DM for that money and saved the rest
Why? He has been at fault for exactly 0 goals. There were some that he should have done better but literally all of them you could easily argue that it was on the defense in front of him.
I don’t even think a DM would have made a huge difference. I genuinely think that Casemiro looks like a liability this season so basically we’d be in the same spot.
They still can. I would just be very worried about Casemiro if I was then. Casemiro carried them last season
He’s been great but I would have to say Maddison (if we’re just talking about Spurs).
Outside of the should have been penalty, he's been more than fine? He's the least of our worries so far.
I’d give casemiro the benefit of the doubt. But he needs help. A DM is needed for sure imo
I know Amrabat isn't the level needed to contend for titles, but stylistically he'd fit really well next to Casemiro. He'd also add literally any semblance of ability to control the tempo of a game which is desperately needed. Getting him in even as a stopgap would probably be a big help this year.
His control on the Maddison goal was superb. Sarr's pass was slick too.
I thought Bissouma was amazing in the first two games and I only caught parts of this one and he was the best player on the pitch in those parts.
Not surprising when you mess with the tactics this much. Last year the combinations with Zinchenko / Xhaka / Martinelli down the left and White / Odegaard / Saka down the right were basically flawless. I know Xhaka is gone and Zinchenko/Jesus are not starting, but we broke up what worked for something new that might work
