    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur vs Saudi Sportswashing ***

    When they won the WC, they were doing something to compensate for Otamendi's age from what I remember. Probably, sticking in a deeper number 6 and getting one or both of the full-backs to tuck in alongside. It was amazing how well the Romero / Otamendi partnership played in that competition.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur vs Saudi Sportswashing ***

    I agree. Last season was about removing a club legend that had scored 30 goals and making sure the equivalent goals were shared around the team in a new system. With a new manager, we actually managed to do that and started having 10 outfield players contributing in a single team ethic...

    Cristian Romero

    Didn't see the game, but get the impression that Dragusin played well and Romero mostly did, but cost us 2 goals. Arguably, Romero has cost us 5 points this season, but that might be am exaggeration. I guess the question becomes whether we line up with Dragusin and VDV when the latter is fit...

    He definitely cost us goals. There was no defending from the front for the last 2-3 years of his career with us. Pick any system you want and there is some dependency on the striker to do their bit. Kane quit on that responsibility, perhaps with the blessing of a couple of managers whose only...

    Even without Solanke, our new team scored the same amount of goals without Kane as with Kane's 30. As controversial as this may sound, in his last season Kane scored those goals but cost us a load of goals indirectly. He only actually got 3 assists as well. Yes, he could head a ball in our own...

    Out: Perisic, Dier, Emerson, Skipp, Rodon, Ndombele, Japhet, Sess, Hojbjerg, Parrott, John, Santiago, Some great work here to rationalise the squad numbers. Reggie and Gio going would make it even better. Loan: Solomon, Gil, Phillips, Veliz, Scarlett, Abbott, Craig, Donley, Keeley So different...

    Giovani Lo Celso

    Yeah, agree. I think we have a couple of years to see how that one evolves. There's also the other rule where guys like Phillips, Gray and Bergvale would hold the same status on List A as a foreign player because they haven't completed 2 years at the club. I think I'm right in saying Phillips...

    Do they play all of their EL games out of the country I wonder?

    Giovani Lo Celso

    There is some natural attrition from the squad due to contract end dates. The 2 keepers, Forster and Whiteman, will be out of contract so I'm guessing next summer we'll be looking at keepers. That is, unless there is an academy promotion. Then there is Davies who will be 32 and out of contract...

    Son Heung-Min

    I think he will need rotating though due to his age. When we go from a 41 games season to hopefully a 60 game season, you can see that Sonny will need protecting. I reckon in some games we should let the younger guys take the sting out of the opposition and introduce him to do the business from...

    I completely agree that the collective was the reason for the run of results. We were completely depleted in the spine in that period of last season. Then Udogie was added to the injury / suspension list on top. I guess we can't really say whether Davies played better than Phillips / Dorrington...

    Will Lankshear

    I think you can split the season in 2 halves actually. There are a load of games before the new year in the league, EL and Carabao. It can take its toll. Could Lanks train with the 1st team, play a few for the U21's if he's not active in the cups and then we put him out on loan in January?

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    I've always held a curiosity about what would happen if Bents was put in the back four in Ange ball. If we did have a couple of senior centre half injuries, could Bents step in and do a better job than the other squad choices?

    Carabao Cup 24/25

    Wouldn't it be nice to think that Ange has worked so hard with the full squad that switching out players will be seamless. The amount of times over the years we've seen the sweeping changes and watch a new eleven that just doesn't resemble anything like our first team, let alone get some results.

    Last season Ben started 12 and was sub in another 5 league games. So he was on the pitch in just under half the games and was the constant centre half in our 1 point from 15 run. When I look at the squad right now, I see only 3 centre halves. We only got 3 extra games last season in the domestic...

    Note to Ange. Don't make 8 changes. It's OK though, I'm over it.

    My answer would have been 42.

    James Maddison

    Must admit, still trying to get my head around Madds. I guess you never really watch these players until they pull on your shirt. Last season was a bit fractured with his own injuries and the general club transitional period. On the positive side, the guy has started over 250 games and scored...

    I think we'll always be wondering when we take the big bucks for Romero. Potentially so much better suited to La Liga, and international football. Cuti has minimal spring and aerial presence. Also, in the PL you have so many choices when to hold your position and when to move across towards the...

    My view with the kids has always been let them succeed or fail fast. We have been shockingly bad at that over the years because we always have too many average players blocking their paths. When you think, how many times over the years have we seen our 20 man squad consist of senior players and...
