    Højbjerg “I am not satisfied”

    It's funny, because I'm a little split on this. If he plays a full game, he empties the tank. I mean, he puts in more effort than just about anyone else on the pitch and covers a huge amount of ground. However, by the 80th minute he's shot, the lactic acid is kicking in, he's knackered and a bit...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    I hear everything you’re saying…and I can understand some fans’ frustrations. Patience….would be the word I would use here. This project, this League is all new to Ange. It’s a step-up on all that’s gone before. That doesn’t bother me at all, though. I’m not really into ‘experience‘ as a key...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Palace

    If Richie had been playing, would Sonny have scored his goal? Or would he have been out wider and Richie competing for the ball in the middle? I only ask because Sonny’s breaks from midfield are such a potent weapon, that can’t be utilised when he’s out on the wing. When he’s flat-out running...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Palace

    The difference between Son approaching the goalkeeper and Timo is massive. Sonny needs to take him aside and coach him. That was a textbook finish. Beautiful

    Match Threads Spurs vs Palace

    I want Ange getting the team to attack from the half way line. I'm sure many of us are getting frustrated by the tippy-tappy stuff around the opposition box. It's static, hesitant, eye-of-the-needle football and more often comes without any shot or actual threat to their goal. Nor does it...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Wolves

    I’m not too fussed about this season, purely because it’s pure development. We surprised a lot of teams with our attacking intent in the 1st half of the season. But there are some good coaches out there and they’ve started doing their homework. They’ve started seeing frailties in our gameplay...

    I’m not sure why some people are ridiculing my post. Probably just a lack of insight and awareness. Or complete ignorance. From The Athletic article: ‘Clearly, this is not coincidental. Especially as, during his 2021-22 debut season as Celtic, Postecoglou’s squad were plagued by the same...

    You can tell that’s he’s working so hard on and off the pitch. Got to love his commitment to improvement. He looks really refreshed and alive in training too. Big heart ❤️ from the guy.

    Chelsea trying to poach Brighton’s head of recruitment. Desperate to steal other team’s infrastructure and creative ideas. Desperate to catch-up. Link below. Telegraph

    What rubbish. We play an incredibly dynamic and highly agile way of playing football. Ange has alluded to this, in the first year he’s going to run everyone until they break a bit….and then by Year 2 the conditioning team can find the fragility in player’s physiological systems and help build...

    Match Threads Everton vs Spurs

    Some fans are going to be irate, angry and start blaming players….or even Ange. But for me, this game was rich in stuff we need to learn as a team to compete consistently at the top, for the long term. All sorts of learnings. Defensively, corners, protecting the goal keeper, attacking out...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Man City - FA Cup 4th Round

    You get the feeling that some of the more established players don’t have confidence in some of the newer/younger players….and hence there’s hesitation in our game. Hesitation in our passes, threaded balls, runs etc. We are still very much a work in progress and we keep bringing in new...

    I feel sorry for Holberg. Man of the Match up until those two mishaps. But he was shattered and it should have been him being subbed if others hadn’t been so poor tonight.

    Ange is going to be earning his oats this half time. We can be better than this. We must be better than this. It’s almost like they’re waiting for a sign to be incisive. Thread the balls through!

    Match Threads Spurs vs Man City - FA Cup 4th Round

    Man City players are more confident on the ball currently. A couple of our younger guys haven’t quite got the composure. We need a bit more purpose in our play. But will take 0-0 at half time.

    This is all a matter of perspective. Put yourself in his shoes. He’s from Romania. He probably has little idea how other agents in other countries conduct themselves. And who is to say what he’s doing is wrong. He’s obviously worked his socks off to become an agent. And then he’s popping the...

    Player Watch - Ashley Phillips

    Do you think he’s gone there because the coach has a similar philosophy of playing out from the back? Ange is going to want AP to be confident and comfortable playing football a certain way…and I’m just curious as to whether Argyle are the choice of loan because of their ambition to play...

    Troy Parrott making a name for himself in Europe as youngster draws Serie A interest

    There’s a few that said the same about Harry Kane. You never quite know. So much was expected so young, but he could just find the right groove and hit top gear. He’s got a wealth of experience (of sorts) having started at 17, so I’m not writing him off yet. I hope his trajectory is all up now.

    We lack clinical passes, crosses and invention in the final third currently. A point was a fair reflection. I would love another attacking threat. Can’t quite believe we spent that much on Johnson. He’s nowhere near Premiership top quality. I worry he will ever be. A bit of a flake that...
