But if teams are going to double up on him then that’s not a problem as it allows space for madders and Barnes 1

Just worried he will be part of a system that generates far too many injuries. I wish him well. You are such a bitch 1

He wasnt able to make an impression, but the fact he was there and for the most part held his position, helped Nacho, Maddison and Barnes have more space.
cruzFOX Posted 12 February 2023 Posted 12 February 2023 look carefully I think Tete' had been instructed to play a certain way today. He looked like he was controlling himself which I know we all don't want lol. We want him to go for the jugular every time! I'd like one of the reporters to ask Rogers and see if this was the case. There were moments and flashes of skill but it was very restrained. He still played well imo just kept it cool today which I don't mind tbh. If it allowed the rest of the team to hurt the spuds than brilliant. I'm sure they planned to focus on Tete' which is a master stroke by Rogers. I'm really liking our new look team! 1

Was listening to radio leicester on the drive home and Rodgers said in his interview his instructed Tete to stay high and wide if I remember correctly. didn’t hit the same levels at villa but you have to accept these type of flair players will have games where there missing and then provide a split second of magic to change games, he wasn’t poor by any means today which I in a way is quite exciting if you know what I mean
CloudFox Posted 12 February 2023 Posted 12 February 2023 (edited) I don't think he was poor yesterday at all, just quiet. And he did his job, which unlocked Barnes on the other side. Some stats for comparison: Bearing in mind Tetê came off at 77', while Barnes played the full 90'. He certainly got involved, we just didn't create much down the right—our attacks were focused down the left. Edited 12 February 2023 by CloudFox 3
An Sionnach Posted 13 February 2023 Posted 13 February 2023 Can't leave him on page two already can we. Shows an inclination to defend , I like that.
Blanchflower78 Posted 13 February 2023 Posted 13 February 2023 Can't compare Tetes 2 games for the simple reason one involved lots of supply to him and the other didn't. Spurs also had more info on him following the Villa game so tried to neutralise the threat. The big thing being this allowed Barnes more opportunity on his flank and he came up trumps. Having 2 wide players on the pitch really does allow times of bias for one over the other which is something new to us for a long time. 1
Fazzer 7 Posted 13 February 2023 Posted 13 February 2023 Whatever the tactics It was his second game for christ sake.
FoxyLeon Posted 13 February 2023 Posted 13 February 2023 He "Didn't do much" isn't really correct, his presence means that either himself, Barnes, Maddison or Iheanacho will be 1 v 1 against a defender at some point. His presence allowed Barnes to destroy Porro 1 v 1 all game, the same can be said for Iheanacho against Dier. Had we Albrighton on that side, as we have seen for around 5 years, the opposition knows that we're not an attacking threat 1v1 down that side, which means they can focus far more strongly on Barnes especially, but also Maddison and Iheanacho. 1
pmcla26 Posted 13 February 2023 Posted 13 February 2023 Sometimes in football you just need players creating overloads in the right areas to benefit others, rather than scoring/assisting themselves. I imagine that you'll see that often between Tete and Barnes, with both supported by Kristiansen and Castagne. Some games we'll exploit the left hand side, and other times we will have it on the other side. It's what Liverpool and Man City have been so good at over previous seasons. 1
SixtiesFox Posted 13 February 2023 Posted 13 February 2023 Having two genuine attacking threats out wide provides the balance we have been lacking and ensures that none of our key offensive players have to play out of position. We have scored 8 goals in two games and all four of our attackers have scored and or assisted. This means we now have a multi-dimensional attack that other teams will find it hard to shut down. As far as Tete's performance against Spurs is concerned, although he didn't have the dynamic impact he did against Villa, he maintained a potential threat throughout - receiving the ball in tight areas, keeping possession and then passing it off with precision. Suddenly our attacking threat has been transformed into one of the most potent in the division and Tete is a big part of that. 2
AjcW Posted 13 February 2023 Posted 13 February 2023 I see the club have popped him in Fofana’s old appartment with lovely views of *checks notes* the city ground…

Suddenly our attacking threat has been transformed into one of the most potent in the division and Tete is a big part of that. Essentially this. We now have 4 men in attacking positions spread across the pitch instead of 3 with 2 of them being congested in the centre. It makes our attack more dynamic and allows for space for other players. Even if he has an ‘average’ game thats because the opposition has chosen to focus on him as a threat leaving the game open for our other players. We couldnt do that with Perez or Maddison out there because one was easy to keep quiet and the other drifted inside so much it made our entire right side null and void. 4

Also tactically to keep whacking in right to light objections when Forest start rebuilding their Main Stand
lee7 Posted 19 February 2023 Posted 19 February 2023 I was impressed with Tete today. He had the beating of Shaw all day long. He mixed things up playing passes first time or sometimes taking a couple of touches and beating his man.
Stevosevic Posted 19 February 2023 Posted 19 February 2023 Thought he was decent today. Better down his side than we were Barnes side. 3
