    On the ball, it feels like he's playing like he did under Conte, with much less freedom and confidence. His ball distribution and decisions are restricted, with far fewer take ons or line breaking passes. Even in the games against teams that have sat deep, he's been very passive compared to...

    People are judging it more harshly because of the context. The tackle was a clear yellow but no more.

    Player Watch: Davinson Sanchez

    Despite how precarious a position that would leave us in at CB, if Gala are demanding both players as part of any deal, that's gonna be tough to turn to down.

    Summer 2023 squad discussion

    The first XI is taking shape but the squad is a bloated mess. Including the two latest incomings there's roughly enough first team players to field two full matchday squads. I would assume that the younger players ready for first team football (Devine, Scarlett, Parrot, Austin, White etc) will...

    Next DoF

    Being able to watch two matches at once must be quite advantageous for the role.

    Match Threads Nottingham Forest Vs Spurs

    A few people have referenced Conte's title winning Chelsea side. They had a big advantage domestically that season with no European football to contend with due to finishing mid-table the previous year and it undoubtedly played a huge role in their ability to win consistently. They finished...

    Match Threads Spurs Vs Wolves

    I don't think it's his intention either (Mourinho used to claim the same thing) but along with the issues you cited, it's not happening by chance and appears to be a by-product of the tactics and formation being used. We're getting overrun because we're outnumbered and playing three CBs against...

    Match Threads Spurs Vs Wolves

    I mean, yeah, but we do stick 11 men behind the ball when the opposition has possession in our half. That's not to say that the team doesn't deserve credit but It would be particularly concerning if we were adopting such negative tactics and still conceding lots of chances.

    The same could be said for Ndombele who joined in the same window. The two players current values are where they are mainly due to how they performed on loan at their respective clubs, rather than at Spurs. Ultimately we saw just how talented Ndombele is and what he's capable of, espeically in...

    Player Watch: Serge Aurier

    Pretty surprised by this news, if true. He has tried leaving us each of the last three summers and I had always assumed he was unsettled and wanted a move back to France or elsewhere. Wonder what the real reason was as he was always an important squad member at worst.

    Player Watch: Kieran Trippier

    It's strange that there's such heavy interest in Tripper from big European clubs. He's very much an English style attacking RB, good delivery and passing but not great in tight spaces or particularly patient or varied in his attacking play, he needs a high volume of crossing opportunities to be...

    Partizan Belgrade Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    Those players were sold because our squad was and is still massive. Pochettino mentioned this himself several times and I'm sure not only sanctioned but pushed for the Sigurdsson and Holtby sales without the need for replacements. What happens if Lamela, Eriksen or Chadli goes down? we will...
