    Match Threads Spurs vs Brighton

    I think it may also be that at the start of the season opponents had little knowledge of how we position ourselves and what movements and choices we make when playing through the press, but now they've had half a season to study and counter that. It seems like now there are more passes to...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    He looks them directly in the eye while listening to their question and again once he's answered it, but not in between. I think it's just how he composes his thoughts while coming up with the answers, which are always ... sort of, kind of ...very considered and careful.

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

    I think there is much more to their role than that. In this system the fullbacks support them by making underlapping runs, like when Peresic fed Udogie against Bournemouth which ultimately led to Kulu's goal. And they also feed the midfielders inside on the edge of the box, like Kulu fed Biss...

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

    One thing that's clear to me from the first three games and the six goals we've scored in them is that this season we aren't going to be as reliant on the front three to score goals as we have been recently. Beteeen midfielders and even fullbacks arriving in the box and Maddison's set piece...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 10th August

    It doesn't seem like Johnson would be a Kane replacement. Competition on the right for Kulusevski.

    Maybe we want to loan him somewhere easier to manage. Like Spain where they speak the same lingo, are almost the same timezone and a short flight away if we need to interact with him or his manager

    Harry Kane

    We were last season, but the season before we were ahead of both Arsenal and Newcastle. This season, who knows? Noone expected Arsenal and Newcastle to perform as they did. Exactly I don't think it's much different from the last time we got top four. I think the right manager could get our...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The hold you up by the ankles and shake edition

    When I try to donate it asks for my country and when I say New Zealand it says donations to this recipient aren't permitted from this country. That's via Paypal or credit card. Any idea why that it is the case and is there any other way to donate?

    Match Threads Spurs Vs Brighton

    I disagree. I think Kane is brilliant when he drops deep and has space to turn and play a pass. Occasionally he does something brilliant when under pressure, but generally under pressure he will lose the ball. Not as often as Son, who is hopeless receiving under pressure, but still a lot.

    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    It's really obvious that some fans on here weren't following Spurs through the '90s, immediately before Levy took over. If they had they'd realise that, in terms of League position/qualifying for Europe and Champions League, Levy has been a huge success. I'm not one who subscribes to the idea...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - THE DEADLINE

    But Conte himself has been critical of the club bringing in players who weren't good enough and then struggling to get them off the books and also said it will take several windows to get the squad where he wants it. That suggests to me that if the CBs that we want aren't gettable within two...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - THE DEADLINE

    You seem to be stating as a fact that the club didn't know the transfer rules. Is that based on one ITK saying he "wouldn't be surprised" if they found out from this forum. Doesn't sound like a fact to me.

    Match Threads Spurs Vs Olympique de Marseille

    I agree that we're not playing well, but if the player hasn't made that challenge was it doubtful that Son would have scored or that, if he had, at 1 0 up was it doubtful that we would have won the game? I don't think the sending off was unearned luck. We created a very good chance to score.

    Match Threads Nottingham Forest Vs Spurs

    I was there. 1990. It was my only full season watching Spurs live before heading back to New Zealand. Very special memory for me. He'd also scored the first goal in a 2-1 win.

    Match Threads Spurs Vs Southampton

    One thing I noticed was more early aerial balls from the LCB to the RCB and vice versa, rather than two passes on the ground via the CB. Gave us more time and space to advance the ball once we'd switched sides.

    I think there will be times he drops Deki to play two up front and other times when Deki plays RWB.

    To what extent do you think our ability to bring in who we are looking at will depend on whether we secure CL football next year?
