    Those reported wages are going to be a hurdle for many clubs looking at him.

    It doesn’t need to be complicated, you cannot leave an opposition player free to sit on and f### with your keeper. If they put a player there, then he must be marked no exceptions. Our approach to setting up for corners has a look of theory worked up on a whiteboard.

    Team for Chelsea

    Real vote of no confidence in our current number 6 midfielders but to be honest stop Palmer and Chelsea are pretty average, Romero would seal that area off and he’s easily better in possession than what we’ve seen from this area. I really think the Kulu GLC combo would be Interesting and we’ve...

    Think his spell when Madds was injured was quality and he ran the show versus Bournemouth. His cameos have been pretty impressive albeit far too brief, think it’s unfair on him and his performances to describe it as desperatio.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Vicario has a serious weakness on corners and that is being exposed every week. Not putting someone on the blocker is negligent and beyond stupid, Ange and his coaches need to focus on these things. They’re blindingly obvious and not being addressed.

    Looks like you’re not alone, Oliver struggled with them all day.

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    Yep he wasn’t bad at all, the own goal was unfortunate but he put in a good effort. If hadn’t seen the first 10 games of the season I’d be seriously questioning what Maddison contributes.

    Think he’s achieved it, he’s not going to be selected with the displays he’s putting in.

    That’s goodbye to everyone in our midfield then, none of them are of the standard you’ve outlined.

    Numbers this season better than Maddison and Kulu based on minutes played.

    Sadly looks like Ange doesn't rate GLC and is happy to keep playing a sadly out of form Maddison when we are crying out for someone with a pass and move game like GLC. On top of that he shows a bit of fight that we only really see from Romero and Richy. Lot of good things about Ange but set...

    Agree biggest issue for me defensively is how cheaply we've been giving away possession in the midfield and upfront. Sadly it’s been to easy to stop us playing, we give away possession and then teams catch us on the break. We need a CF that can lead the line and receive the ball without...

    Werner has become an important route and a lot of that is due to the poor form of Son at CF and Maddison at 10. These two need to contribute a hell of a lot more than they are over last half dozen games. Throw in a badly out of form Kulu and thank goodness we have Werner performing.

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    Our record against City, Pool and Arsenal this season doesn’t indicate we’d be out of our depth in CL. We’ve footed it with these teams this season and we’ll be stronger next season.

    I like Werner and think we have a free option to see him play out the season and make an informed assessment and decision about whether to exercise the buy option. He’s so far been a mixed bag but with more good games than bad and some telling moments that have won us points. Since Werner has...

    Team for Arsenal....

    A lot now depends on whether Porro and Richarlison are fit. Expect Arsenal to be a serious threat to us on set pieces and hopefully the coaching staff take this seriously and we are better prepared. My team for Arsenal is a bit radical but we are currently defensively open, ponderous in...

    Think we are in a position of having a front three that really need quicker progression of the ball to get it in space in front of them, but we have a transition from back through midfield that is currently quite deliberate. I think some of the comments from Maddison and Ange allude to the need...

    I don’t think Bissouma has played with the freedom, swagger or energy he showed in that early season spell prior to his suspension. Having said that the same could be said about Maddison.

    I don’t dislike him at all, I just feel he is getting a bit of a free ride and has been badly out of form for sometime. I do have an irrational view that GLC is not getting anything like the game time his cameos have warranted and what seems a much better fit Tactically. Sorry to bore you.
