I’d have disallowed that. Cucurella knows exactly what he’s doing - that’s a full-on pick play.

do spurs have a set piece coach? it feels like something they're just... ignoring...

their problems seem eminently fixable - they left chelsea's two tallest players in chalobah and badiashile unmarked at the back post
We don't have a specific set-piece coach, no. Ange doesn't seem to believe in them.

Off that list I'd take Jesus, Havertz, Hojlund Bowen, Toney and Solanke over him. Depending on how you want to define strikers, you can also add guys like Son and Alvarez.

Mind you I also think Jackson isn't very good period. But I'm willing to concede the Chelsea effect so I could be wrong.

bowen is definitely a better player, but he's not better through the middle.

hojlund solanke jesus and havertz are IMO toss-ups but i would not trade Nico for any of them.

toney has been terrible since coming back and i'm just in general a hater.

there's no chelsea effect here. he's a great but inconsistent player.

He's been a monster today

@bluesfan94

outcome is correct, but the process is so obscenely stupid and angering that i'm mad about it. see how it works?
And if you're still upset about it in 5 days, I'd be shocked.

By the way, Cucurella did nothing more than what Ben White did, so I assume there will be articles written.

Ange specifically said he doesn't think it's necessary

I might take Alvarez over him too. I disagree with Arsenal, but then again, I would. I also would take Solanke and Toney this year. Going forward, I likely wouldn't.

Emerson sucked on the left, anyone we could bring on to play there? Maybe switch van de ven to the left and put Drăgușin in? He's got the speed to play the flank and his offensive output can't be worse than what Emerson offered.

He didn't do it to the goalkeeper in the protection area, I see nothing wrong with that.
