I’m just starting to wade through the data from yesterday’s game, and it is evident that the Spurs weren’t really at the races, but more of that later. Just looking at the goal we conceded, and feel that not one Spurs player was particularly animated as Sevilla closed in our penalty area.
Whilst I appreciate that there may be training drills in place to alert players about the threat of deflected goals, there is also a case against doing nothing. Surely, Japhet would have been able to put his body into the path of the ball, it was close enough to him as it passed him by? Eric Dier already began twisting away from the ball as Ratikič was winding up for the strike.
