I love it when they number the bits... But hate it when they give you the exact number of screws needed, like no spares.

I'd wish our team were like a flat pack... Far easier putting them together.

Yyyyyeeeeeeeesssss ?????

Players scared to try stuff against Morcambe...

If i was Conte i would send out the same team and say "you've got 45 minutes so save your Spurs career. and if you don't want to be here tell me now and and you can end it now"
It's already embarrassing, but if we have to send on a cavalry against this lot then it gets much worse.
But that approach doesn’t work. These players don’t care about playing or achieving anything, they just want the money and they know they’re not going to earn the same money elsewhere and nobody is going to put up a decent fee to persuade Levy to sell for as long as this awful standard of display is all they have to offer. So they’re safe to sit out their big contracts at Spurs. That suits some of those players down to the ground.

As I've said before, priority number one in January has to be a new keeper.
Because if Conte doesn't trust Austin then we're done for if Lloris is out long term
I think the fact we can't create or score goals without Kane, Lucas, Son is more of the priority. You can't win games if you can't score or create and if we get injuries to Kane and Son we are screwed.

Priority has to be a striker and AM.

Alright we need to beat these now, that tattoo on the keepers neck isn't acceptable. Not having it.

Whenever we play our so-called "second 11", or even half of them, there's a pervasive sense of lack of energy. They play like footballers who do not really believe they can dominate, dictate or even influence a match.

It can be decorative. There are pretty patterns and nice approach play, in those matches where we get to see plenty of the ball. But there is no cutting edge in attack and no collective commitment, communication or even organisation in defence.

OK, we've just played 45 minutes without a proper striker, so it's not surprising that no one is getting on the end of the plentiful crosses and corners. Although the midfield passing has been good enough to open gaps, no one up front seems to have the energy to run through them.

It's as of a sort of smog descends on the group and they don't really think they can win a football match together. It's weird. There's plenty of talent out there. But no team.

The thong is, when there is a clear two tiered squad as it were, those in the second eleven, see it as that. The trick or the approach is not to have a two tiered squad but unfortunately we have that. We should have a squad where any 11 could do a job as opposed to first eleven and second eleven.

This is what happens when you don’t replace Bale & Vinicius
We simply don't have enough options in attacking areas as it stands. Replacing Lamela, Bale, and Vinicius with Gil, fuck all, and fuck all, respectively, was a disaster.

This is what happens when you don’t replace Bale & Vinicius
Also when you don't replace Eriksen & Llorente

And when you go from having 4 top strikers back under Harry to most seasons just having Kane and we are just so lucky he's not been injured more often than he has been.

I have no confidence it will change either. The summer window is looking terrible and so far this window is following suit.
I guess it's still only just over a week in. Yes, it is notoriously a terrible window but we'll have to see.
