I can't remember when I last bought a newspaper but bought one today just in case the article wasn't online. But it is, so I wasted 50p bah.
Anyway I was correct when I suggested that Newport had done their homework on Spurs. And then some. 15 pages of it after spying on their 1-1 draw with Southampton last week.
Some of it makes for interesting reading. For example, Deli Alli : sometimes selfish and doesn't work hard to get ball back. Erik Lamela : lacks passion or drive, does not like to tackle or be tackled, largely ineffective. Serge Aurier : commits himself too early in challenges, can be easily turned. He and Sanchez the weakness in Spurs defence. Michel Vorm : Didn't come for crosses, gets blocked in at set-plays. Press him quickly and don't give him time to build up play. Eric Dier : one-paced.
On Spurs as a unit :
Free-kicks all taken quickly to nearest player
They play at high tempo and press quickly
They didn't defend wide free-kicks well
There's loads more here The Tottenham File
You wonder now how Spurs will set out its stall in the replay LOL.
