    Match Threads Arsenal vs Spurs - Match Day 6

    Arsenal expended a lot of energy pressing that half and don't have much depth on their bench. They are going to come out very aggressive to get their 2nd goal after the break. Richarlison, PEH, and Solomon as subs, coupled with them tiring, could be enough to win this late if we can hold off...

    Match Threads Bournemouth vs Spurs

    The club should back itself in the transfer market to find the right players to finish off what is becoming an excellent squad. 10 of the 11 starters today were brought in over the last 2 years, including the entire back 5 that looks transformative. There will be misses with transfers...

    Match Threads Bournemouth vs Spurs

    There's a lot of talk of the club's performance in the transfer market, but 10 of the 11 starters the last two weeks have been brought into the club in the last 2 years. That doesn't even include Bentacur, arguably the most impactful player in the squad over that time period. There's no reason...

    Match Threads Brentford vs Spurs

    The concern should be entirely focused on the front 3 today, who have now shown in multiple systems with separate managers over the last year that their end product is severely lacking. The club need to take a hard look at the transfer market for not only a striker, but a goal scoring...

    Match Threads Brentford vs Spurs

    To finish in the top 8 this season, we'll need a minimum 30 goals (maybe even 40) from the starting front 3 attackers. It doesn't matter what system Son, Richarlison and Kulusevski have played in over the last year: they've been completely lacking when it comes to end product. Aside from a...

    Match Threads Brentford vs Spurs

    As Arsenal showed last year, a strong start to the season builds confidence for a squad in transition. I know many are focused on past defensive frailties, but that backline is entirely transformed from last season. The bigger concern with the current squad is whether the poor finishing we've...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    There needs to be more discussion about injuries to absolutely critical players in the squad and the impact on performance and results. Kulusevski and Bentancur have started only 6 matches together this season. Spurs have won 5 of those and drew the other (to Chelsea away). During those 6...

    Match Threads Spurs Vs Newcastle

    The biggest concern in the opening stages of the match is Skipp picking up an early yellow card against their fast passing midfield. Early cards have hindered our midfield in the past, and Skipp will be eager to impress after a very long stint out of the side. If it's not working going forward...

    Lenglet has been quite good defensively. Hopefully quiets the talk that he is good on the ball, but unproven defending against attacking teams.

    Match Threads Arsenal Vs Spurs

    This is our strongest and most balanced line-up in my opinion. Lenglet and Romero both playing will allow us to have a bit more ball control playing out from the back. Richarlison is also coming off great performances for Brazil, so starting him absolutely makes sense here. Conte can always...

    Match Threads Man City Vs Spurs - match postponed

    It's worth remembering that Lenglet was first choice at Barca for quite some time before his form dropped off. He's partnered Pique to win at the Bernabeau in a high stakes, ultra intense Clasico. He has a lot of experience in big matches, so there won't be anything in this match he hasn't seen...

    Match Threads Spurs Vs Fulham

    That started from a fantastic ball from Lenglet when he was under pressure. Such a great player to add to this team.

    Match Threads Spurs Vs Fulham

    Best half of the season. Playing outstanding one touch football. Lenglet showing what many of us have been calling for with his ball carrying and passing ability. Bentacur has been fantastic, as has Richarlison. Despite Emerson's crossing issues, he is such a good defender and his energy is...

    Match Threads Spurs Vs Fulham

    Perisic in this line-up is our most talented 11 and would be a very difficult side to play against for teams in the bottom half of the table.

    Match Threads Spurs Vs Fulham

    Bentacur has been unbelievably good. The interchanges between him and Lenglet have been awesome. Quick one touch passing that was non-existent against West Ham.
