Tottenham Hotspur drew with Roma in the Europa League after a disappointing performance. Ange Postecoglou’s team struggled to maintain consistency despite recent success against Manchester City. Several players underperformed during the match.
Dominic Solanke failed to score despite good opportunities. He missed chances that could have secured victory for Spurs. His expected goals were 1.13, but he couldn’t convert any of them.
Son Heung-min scored a penalty but was ineffective throughout the game. He took weak shots and missed passing opportunities. His overall performance was considered unsatisfactory.
Rodrigo Bentancur looked tired in the second half. He made some tackles but couldn’t control the midfield effectively. His performance was deemed average at best.
Pedro Porro had the worst performance of the night. The full-back made numerous mistakes during the 95-minute match. His statistics were particularly poor across multiple aspects of play.
Porro lost possession 23 times during the game. He was dribbled past twice and made an error leading to a shot. He lost all his aerial duels and failed in all his dribble attempts. His passing accuracy was just 73%, and he only completed one out of three crosses.
Despite hitting the woodwork with a free-kick, Porro’s defensive lapses were significant. He was notably absent during crucial moments, including Roma’s equalizing cross.
Postecoglou might consider dropping Porro for the upcoming match against Fulham. Alternatives like Djed Spence and Archie Gray could potentially replace him in the lineup.
The match highlighted Tottenham’s ongoing struggle with inconsistency. While they showed promise in recent games, including a win against Manchester City, they failed to maintain that level of performance against Roma.
The draw was frustrating for Spurs fans who expected a victory. The team created enough chances to win but couldn’t capitalize on their opportunities. Postecoglou will need to address these performance issues in upcoming matches.
The result adds to the narrative of Tottenham’s unpredictable season. Despite moments of brilliance, the team continues to struggle with maintaining consistent form across different competitions.
