siamthedanger 2,860 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Bit of positivity for today (I know, it's a hard thing to find) , really impresssed how he has stepped it up this season. Whatever he's been doing in training it's working and he seems so much better at tracking back and staying on his man. Other than that Windass shows promise with his runs through midfield. Get the other bits to click(needs a massive click for CB pairing) and we will be ok. Any ideas how long Holt is out for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 He's been excellent IMO. Defensively sound, strong, pacy, powerful and not afraid. He would get the ball in tight areas and rather than punt it up the park would trust his ability and run his man getting us valuable yards up the park. His crossing and shooting technique is an incredible asset too that we need to utilise more often than we do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Solid performance from Tav today under the circumstances. I fear he'll get fed up of being the only good one in our back 4 and start looking for a move away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imodium 411 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I was about to jump to his defence and pleasantly surprised when reading your post! He is much more composed than last season from the back and has massive potential. This guy can and will take the next step up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Also, and not wanting to get carried away, when you consider Walker at Spurs is generally a regular RB for England, I genuinely don't see a huge gulf in class between the two. Personally I don't think Walker is a great defender and IMO Tav can offer more going forward and from set plays. Of course Tav has never been tested defensively to the extent Walker has but as per the above post if Tav thinks he is almost a one man band in defence, and has ambitions and the belief of playing for England one day he may consider his future further down the line to push for an England place. IMO I think he has the potential to play for England........... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoGeo7 10,560 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Other than one moment of deftness in the second half when he turned their player then played an odd pass out wide to Miller and gave the ball away. on the whole he has been good this year, better than most expected I'd say. It's a pity the rest of the team haven't moved forward instead they seem to have regressed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has looked better defensively but think we miss his creativity going forward. Doesn't get forward as much as he did last season in my opinion and we miss that. One of the few times he did get forward today he set up the goal with a great cross. Might be worth looking at him on the right of 4-4-2 or 3-5-2.
