    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Should be a focus on both first team ready players and on younger players with a lot of potential imo. But where the majority of the budged should be spent for sure is on players that improve the first team immediately.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    He imo failed at more things than one. I agree he seems like a decent coach, just how good imo remains to be seen. He has done really well at one club, in one set of circumstances. About as well suited to us as a seagull brick into a summer's dessert. Luckily for him and us it didn't end in a...

    Pedro Porro

    Porro is imo one of our best players and having gotten a manager in who plays a style of football more suited to the club and players Porro has imo again showed what he can do. Get a proper attacker/winger ahead of him with real quality and playing for an overall cohesive team and his qualities...

    João Palhinha

    Whatever happens this summer he was crucial in us staying up. His shortcomings are well described repeatedly and those have been evident all season (particularly with the lack of other options), his arrival here was part of an ultimately failed project. But he still helped us stay up, his...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I agree that both are good and very useful options. I do also think we probably also need to improve our ball playing quality in midfield. Or we hope that De Zerbi can be the one to help Gray and/or Bergvall make that next step up in the upcoming season?Bissouma will be leaving I assume, but...

    Next seasons squad

    Seems like it will be a busy summer. Quite a bit of outgoing business to get done most likely in addition to outgoings. Some big decisions for De Zerbi to make as well as the potential for some players to want out. We need to take steps towards making our central midfield options more balanced...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur FC v Everton, Sun May 24th, 4.00pm, The Lane***

    Wow that was nervy. Please can we not do that again. A lot of blame to go around for being in this position in the first place and a lot of credit for managing to stay up to go around too. Most of all to De Zerbi, he made the difference. Big summer coming up, but for a couple of days we can...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur FC v Everton, Sun May 24th, 4.00pm, The Lane***

    fudging hell... Wish the game was over (with this score). We're quite good. Really impressive from the team in game with such nerves. Hopefully we can keep it up and the ref doesn't find more ways to screw us over.

    Next seasons squad

    I think that's a solid observation. But time will tell what things look like with a full season and without every game having these ridiculous stakes to them.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I think it will be enough, but being down to two games (4 including West Ham’s games) it will also be down to luck/variance, anything can happen in a game of football. Regardless of the ultimate outcome he's done really well. Given us a reason to hope and believe and a reason to look towards a...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Leeds United, Mon May 11th, 8pm, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium***

    Frustrating not to get the win, was a somewhat close game but think we were the better side. Crumbled a bit after the penalty, shows how limited our confidence still is and how much we miss some of our better players. All in all though a decent performance. Shame about the penalty for Tel after...

    Conor Gallagher

    Can work well in a box to box/8 role too imo. But it requires a team that is otherwise functional in terms of ball progression and ball retention and doesn't expect him to provide that. In the setup we saw yesterday I think he obviously did well. A game focused a lot on pressing and winning the...

    Mathys Tel

    Agreed that he had a good game. Thought the assist was an example of what both excites and frustrates with him. Was a pretty obvious pass on, to Porro I think. He went for the cross instead and it paid off. I really like that, he takes responsibility, tries to make things happen, believes in...

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    Hopefully that's actually true. As Gazza Dazzla pointed out, different instructions and a different way of playing is doing him really good I think. And right now he's looking important.

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa, Sun May 3rd, 7pm, Villa Park ***

    Fantastic to get the win and move out of the relegation zone. Thought the performance was really good given the surrounding context/circumstances. Villa were poor, particularly in the first half, but we made the most of it and made it difficult for them. Players showed great intensity and...
