Some Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to social media to share their reaction to their side’s first half performance against Everton.

Antonio Conte decided to keep faith with the eleven players he selected to start Thursday night’s Europa Conference League win against Vitesse Arnhem for the trip to Goodison Park this afternoon.

Both sides struggled to create any clear cut chances in the opening twenty minutes with the best opportunity presenting itself to a counter attack where Emerson Royal headed over the bar from inside the penalty area.

The game has mostly been a battle in midfield with very little creativity coming from the middle of the park.

Everton appealed for a penalty in the 37th minute after Demari Gray went down in the box under a challenge from Oliver Skipp, only for referee Chris Kavanagh to wave away the call for him to point to the spot.

Sergio Reguilon should have broken the deadlock on the cusp of half time when the Spaniard could only volley Harry Kane’s pinpoint cross high and wide.

Here is a selection of reaction from the North London faithful.

If only Harry Kane was on the end of that Harry Kane cross

Conte's been here literally 5 days yet you can already see such a clear difference in the overall structure compared to before. Some of these players just aren't going to work in this system though (Hoj, Lucas). January window needs to be busy.

Structures in possession and ideas are good. Hojbjerg, Lucas and Reguillon breaking down far too many moves with poor technical play/decisions. Ndombele for Hojbjerg and Bergwijn/Dele for Lucas and I can only see a Spurs win

Ndombele on. Need abit of creativity so Kane can get in dangerous area’s rather then him creating

Spurs incapable of making simple passes…FFS. And get Ndombele on the pitch please.

I’m not feeling this 3-4-3
Skipp and Hojbjerg are quality players but have no creativity.
We should switch to a 3-5-2 and take Lucas off for Ndombele.

If people expect Conte to turn this squad around, I feel sorry for them. We are poor everywhere on the field, 0 creativity and imagination. Kane looks disinterested and Skipp is a nothing player. I pray we invest in January

Watching this lot try to create is painful. Skipp and Hojbjerg don’t work neither can pass. Would be nice if Kane and Son decided to show up

Get Tanguy on
