Thank god we have Reguilon. Davies is just too slow and weak to be a modern full back.
I'm exactly the same and have stood up for Winks too but it's becoming clearer with every game. Even the metronomic passing that is Winks' specialty, Lo Celso does just as well if not better.
He's just a much, much better footballer in every single way.
Its just hard to be critical of Winks because he's Spurs through and through.
I love him for that but deep down I know he's not good enough to be a regular starter for a team that has the aspirations we do.
Squad player? Hell yes, but not someone who's starting every week in the league.
He's a nice steady Eddie recycler of the ball but I don't think he excels in any other area and you just have to have a bit more going on to become a real influence in the centre of the park.

I’d be perfectly fine with him in the role he’s playing if he just had some sort of defensive presence or ability. He just doesn’t have the knack for winning the ball back and he’s not very aware in his positioning defensively.Its just hard to be critical of Winks because he's Spurs through and through.

Yep unfortunately agree, love the guy and would never want to see him sold as he can certainly be a good squad player but doesn't offer enough to be a starting XI player no way.If Winks wasn't home grown spurs through and through I don't think anyone would want to see him near our starting 11 or even the bench.
Lamela, using his right foot... do you seriously believe that actually happened?Does anyone have a vid of the Lamela goal? All the ones I’ve seen are obviously deepfakes, as if anyone would believe he took the shot with his right foot.
They truly fucked us over! I would much rather just have a one off play off.So annoying that Arsenal won the FA cup forcing us around Europe to play against "amateur" teams.
And why does it have to be 3 games ffs.
Yeah that's the crux of it. He's a Spurs boy, has a great character and loves the club but at this point I don't think he'll ever be more than that 'steady eddie'. He might make a nice pass once every 3 games or the occasional good tackle, but in general he's just a bit average (or below average) at everything except short, metronomic passing and maintaining possession.Its just hard to be critical of Winks because he's Spurs through and through.

Interesting take.These games are always very tough for us so I really don’t think we should panic. The first 70 minutes or so the opposition are full of energy but with the ability to bring on quality subs as they tire give us a chance. JM has played this way since the start, getting the team to just play tight and hold the opposition and then unleash in the last fifteen minutes or so. So this game sounds like so many I have seen this year except often we don’t get lucky enough to still be in the game at the end. the Game has so far gone exactly as I expected
