    Emerson Royal (to AC Milan)

    He flopped on his debut for a side that has started the season poorly. If you’re judged based on your debut then on that basis Modric, Bale, Porro, M’bappe (for Real) etc should all have been banished to the abyss. The Italian press needs to do one

    Match Threads Spurs vs Everton

    Ange comes across as all or nothing. I put in a post elsewhere than we’ve gone from OTT defensive coaches (Mourinho and Conte) to an OTT offensive coach in Ange. Man City play a similar high press style but they’ve Rodri protecting the centre backs and they swarm the opposition when they lose...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Everton

    I agree re the midfield and forwards but it’s still a tactical issue as Ange massively over commits. I’m sure it was in the first 5 mins when Vardy? was one of one with VDVen. Obviously VDV cleaned up but we shouldn’t be exposing our defence like that. Heaven forbid VDV gets injured again as...

    Team for Everton 24/08/24

    It will be interesting to see what happens with Odobert as had we signed Neto, he would have gone straight into the team. If Odobert was genuinely the alternative then he has to play (sooner rather than later) as otherwise we’ll be no different than last season with Johnson and Werner having...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Everton

    Likewise player for player we were miles better than Leicester but it doesn’t mean anything when we play school boy tactics… everyone run forward and dawdles back. Everton will have a game plan… it will be the same old challenge of can we break them down. So unless we come out of the blocks...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    I just hope Ange reigns things in as albeit we’ve holes in the squad, we’ve a very capable squad who can most definitely fight for a top 4/5 finish with the right coach. It’s like we’ve gone from one extreme (ultra defensive) to another (ultra attacking). We’ve finally got a squad that with a...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Take your chances, kill off the opposition and then keep things solid whilst looking for openings there after. We then won’t need to worry about our energy levels dropping off and letting the opposition back into the game. As per my other post, we lacked killer instinct last season and we...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Ange should take a leaf out of Poch’s playbook and have the designated DM protecting the defence (E.g. prime Dier) instead of everyone pushing forward and leaving us wide open. High energy midfielders doesn’t necessarily mean no creativity. Look at Liverpool’s peak years, they played 3 solid...

    I like the acquisitions of Bergvall and Gray and they’ve a very bright future. Sarr, Bissouma and Bentancur on the other hand are to put it bluntly too inconsistent. They look a dominating force one minute and all over the shop the next. You can mitigate their performances to an extent due to...

    Putting the poor second half display aside and with it being the first game of the season you would hope that the following played a key part in our drop off and will improve in the coming weeks: Romeo - only played 45 mins of preseason football = rusty Van de Ven - as per Romero Udogie - 45...

    I agree but the alternative is Werner who’s a good player but that’s all… he’s not a goal threat. Failing to upgrade our wide forwards will bite us on the arse.

    Ange lol Colossal drop off in the second and took an eternity to try and change things and when he did there were too many at once which resulted in us losing our remaining structure. You don’t change your midfield trio all at once and expect the new trio to hit the ground running.

    Your Spurs Squad for 24-25 Season

    It be interesting to see how Kulusevski does out wide between now and the end of the transfer window. He really suffered there last season due to our attack lacking balance. Whereas he excelled in a 3 with Son and Kane. Now that we’ve Solanke, someone who can be a focal point and hold the ball...

    Laughing gas or not, in this instance the substance is irrelevant. It’s now a class C drug - it doesn’t matter what the substance was… if he’s used it since the drug reclassification then it’s an offence. In addition to this, it’s all over social media and in the public eye The club have to...

    Plus football is a squad game these days, if the alternatives to Romero, VdVen and Udogie aren’t good enough then we’re screwed.

    Pre-Season 2024/25

    It adds more weight that the decision to date to not sign a quality 4th CB and LB competition for Udogie was a ridiculous decision. Davies isn’t good enough and Spence isn’t a LB. Vicario isn’t covering himself in any glory either. He needs to cut out his piss poor distributions otherwise we’ll...
