Spurs did exactly what Blues and Liverpool did against us. Sat back and let us have possession, knowing we have no idea as to how to break them down, then make the most of their possession. We had a lot of possession around their box, in the attacking third if you like, but no one who was willing to take responsibilty, or the risk, of a shot or through ball. Instead we kept playing square, left to right, until we put a cross in, which was a waste of time as we had no height in the box.
Our last clean sheet was against the Noses on 31st October. Since then we've played 9 and conceded 18, so an average of 2 per game. Until we do something about that all the pretty passing in the world will count for nothing.I'm giving the manager the benefit of the doubt but he needs to show that he's at least trying to address the issue.We weren't that bad yesterday but there was an inevitability about it all.
