Aside from the obvious defensive fragilities, I think the challenge we're facing is that teams have adapted to how we play: they're not pressing as aggressively and instead fall back quickly into a pretty robust low block that we can't seem to work out how to unlock. The result is that we...
FWIW I went to the San Siro last week to watch Inter trounce Bologna... wasn't super impressed by Dumfries or Bastoni tbh. Skriniar looked far more composed and Acerbi was also decent (though he's getting on a bit). Federico Dimarco was class, but don't think we need another left back. Someone...
Great performance against a poor team - but putting in good performances against teams we should be beating is something we've struggled with, so definitely signs for hope!
I'm usually in the South Stand, but last night swapped seats with someone and ended up in the North Stand - it's like a...
Eriksen brilliant today - looked like he was channeling some Dembele-esque energy, great to see him step up and control the game like that. Can't ever remember feeling so confident about a Spurs win after going behind - teams just can't cope with the relentless pressure over 95 mins even if they...
This team! Feels like even though we only have one striker there's real variety in attack: Son, Eriksen, Alli, Lamela, Dembele, Chadli, Kane, Carroll - all offering something slightly different.
Great game! Can't think of a Spurs team in recent history that would have come back to win that...
Great game - solid at the back, dominant in midfield, dangerous movement up front. Exciting times! And most exciting of all is this stat, via BBC:
- Tottenham's starting XI against City had an average age of 24 years and 40 days - the youngest in the Premier League this season.
Love this quote in Guardian, esp the part I've emphasized: “I’m a player who really loves football. I learned the game under my father who was a football coach in my school. I’ve trained with both feet so I can use them freely. Bold and daring – this is how I like to try to play.”
Let's hope...
Good Community of Spurs, there’s something serious we need to talk about. We’re having penetration problems.

That’s the only real innuendo I’m going to try to make, but let your imagination do as it will. Let’s talk about movement and penetration.
The season started with...
Vertonghen defends like he's high. I like his surging runs forward (at times he offers more penetration than anyone else on the team, which is tragic), but at the back he's all over the shop. Time to give Wimmer a run?
