Tottenham are both a chaotic mess and boring - Antonio Conte is failing on all fronts 🟢 danielstorey85 for iPaperSport
Richarlison’s performance against Arsenal embodied Tottenham’s current malaise. Richarlison, the club-record signing for £60m. Richarlison, who has yet to score a league goal for Spurs. Richarlison, who completed two passes and had nine touches in 20-odd minutes but did at least get involved in at least three scuffles. Richarlison, who has mastered the art since his move of tricking you into thinking that he’s busy but who doesn’t actually achieve much of note.
Arsenal knew Tottenham’s flaws and exposed them with humiliating ease. Watching your team be outplayed by their fiercest rival is bad enough, but when it plays out exactly as you envisaged, frustration inevitably warps into anger. And for what? So that Spurs could concede more goals than two of the bottom three over the first half of the season? If you appoint a perceived defensive coach, the least you might expect is that the defence looks organised. As for the masterful use of wing-backs, we’re 14 months into this project and Matt Doherty and Ryan Sessegnon are starting – and looking out of place in – a north London derby.
With Harry Kane and Son Heung-min entering the likely twilight of their peak years, Tottenham effectively decided to build around their brilliance rather than cashing on it. Kane and Son had nine combined touches of the ball in the penalty area against Arsenal. Against Aston Villa on New Year’s Day, they had four in 202 combined minutes.
