    Jose Mourinho - SACKED

    This is a great point. Ndombele is the only current option in the team who is "press resistant" in midfield. Very similar to Dembele. But if he's not at it we have no means to play out. Sissoko is at the opposite end of the scale. The only time we've seen him have the ability to drive through...

    Jose Mourinho - SACKED

    And how is that worse than "downing tools"? In fact the players aren't doing what the manager is telling them at the moment - they've stopped running/moving. It already is chaos! If you have a chain of command where there's an idiot in charge you ignore the idiot and do what's right. I've seen...

    Jose Mourinho - SACKED

    This is a fair comment and I think there are definitely some who are hiding from the ball and not willing to take responsibility. There is another way for players to "down tools" and that would be that if the instructions are really that defensive and negative for a group of senior players -...

    Eric Dier

    I'm also finished with defending Dier. I suspect the manager is pretty close to it as well, given he'd dropped him for the previous game (only to find those who replaced him were equally as bad). I think Mourinho has misjudged the ability of several players in the squad prior to his...

    Jose Mourinho - SACKED

    We he got us to a league cup final, CL finish, 2xFA Cup semi finals and played attractive football which was second only to Poch in terms of being pleasing on the eye. He was also responsible for lifting Bale from part-time left back to wing wizard, which was then taken on another level under...

    The Fight to Qualify for the European Conference League 2020/21

    Thankfully this bad run of fixtures isn't replicated in the 2nd half of the season. Instead its relatively spread out.

    Gareth Bale

    Yep he was dishing it out all game. It was good to see Hojbjerg leave one on him later in the game. I always feel if the ref won't help you can always get one of your midfield minders to niggly foul but make sure you land on them in a painful manner and have a word in their ear to advise them...

    OMT - SPURS v BRIGHTON

    With Lallana off Trossard you'd think we could push higher up the pitch regardless of the lack of pace at the back. I'd rather we did that than sit deep. To me we should've pinned their centre halves by putting Son/Kane/Lamela(then Bale) high up on them. That seemed to be the route that...

    Eric Dier

    Pretty sure its in Poch's book that he converted Dier to DM but then asked him to drop back to defence in 16/17 and it was a constant point of debate as Dier felt he had a better chance of getting into the England team in midfield at the time.

    Christian Eriksen

    Liverpool did play very poorly on the night. They constantly turned over possession and looked jittery until that late Origi goal. We created about 3 opportunities where we were 2v2 or 3v3 against their backline and between them the players were unable to work the opening. Effectively we'd...

    Christian Eriksen

    I think Eriksen has always divided opinion across the fanbase. For me the ducking out of tackles or lacking physicality (depending on your viewpoint) has always been there lurking under the surface. He has had 8-10 game lulls every season over the last 5 years where he has underperformed...

    Hugo Lloris

    Agree - I think changing goalkeeper is a long way down the list of issues in the squad. Might have been higher up the list had the squad been refreshed and maintained over the last 2 years!

    Jose Mourinho - SACKED

    we need FBs and a DM - that is our most urgent area of need I'd say. We could do with something in the forward area - especially if Eriksen is moved on.

    Looking forward to Levy's version of this next summer.

    ***OMT Tottenham vs Man U***

    That performance wasn't good enough on any level. As Mourinho says - it starts with the basics - being aggressive, at the right intensity and winning your 50/50s. That can make up for a lot of deficiencies. We were appalling throughout the game really. There really is a deep malaise lurking...

    Jose Mourinho - SACKED

    Top 4 isn't gone imo. It should 100% be the focus and target for this season. If he can get them up & running we should be having another crack at going deep in the CL.

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    You could certainly make a compelling argument last year that delivering the stadium 8 months late and over budget while failing to communicate with his customer base could constitute a serious failure in his duties. Of course as we've now moved in and the place looks stunning, that short-term...

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    I decided to re-watch that game during the summer to try and reach some sort of closure. What that showed me: - we gave away a controversial penalty in the opening minute which kills any momentum - both sides were poor but actually Spurs were more progressive with the ball and had more...

    Eric Dier

    His passing range is fine. Its not Toby level, but there are very few elite centre halves who can strike a ball like him. Can he hit accurate balls into the channels or into midfield? Yes absolutely. I could post other clips of accurate longer passes from him too.

    Pretty good example of an accurate long ball from Eric on his right foot ;)
