    Pape Matar Sarr

    I think the bigger story about Sarr not playing in AFCON (again) is perhaps more about the player's ability. In some ways I'm disappointed that he hasn't broken into their team and become a mainstay. After all, he represents Spurs as an international. He is being kept out by a 36 year old...

    Artificial intelligence

    It's interesting to see what humans did with a great piece of technology like VAR that was implemented in a very controlled way and in a fairly long implementation cycle. As we've all noticed, it's not the tech that is the problem. If you overlay AI into this football tech concept, I think the...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    An my point was that I've not seen it since Poch. Ange didn't achieve it. We kept losing possession whilst we were transitioning through the thirds in a very destructive way. So I'm a little baffled how Frank is expected to turn up and achieve it when it's not really been possible. I sort of...

    Artificial intelligence

    Exactly this. Some of the use cases can make a real positive difference to the world. It's how the world manages the other pieces where these tech giants are not being responsible is the worry.

    Artificial intelligence

    I don't fully agree here. The moment Zuchenberg was dragged to the senate a few years ago the world should have changed. It shouldn't be on regulators to keep tech companies in a moral place. It should be down to the tech companies themselves to crave for the moral high ground knowing that FAANG...

    Conor Gallagher

    I do hope this is where Gallagher will give us some upside. Half the time we get a rough deal from the refs because we let them think it is OK. Other players (e.g. MgGinn at Villa) would never let that happen. When Gallagher hopefully starts a different narratives with the refs, then perhaps so...

    I've said this to big rugby fans but their rugby DNA won't let them call out the refs. What I notice with rugby union is that the referee can spend 80% of their time watching one team like a hawk. They can capture every indiscretion from that side whilst completely ignoring the same thing...

    Said the same thing myself.

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    It might not be a change for Frank because he knows how to turn the dials between defensive and attack. It is business as usual for him. However, it is a change for the Spurs squad. In fact, it's a massive one. We know Ange started (18 months) with a really attacking philosophy and he would take...

    I think it's the style that can work to wins titles in this period of the game. I hope it is anyway. When I think back to Saudi Sportswashing Machine, Palace and Spurs trophies last season (the other 3 we were in) then clearly that low block, counter against teams like Pool and City worked for the cup winners...

    Out of interest, has anyone else downloaded Grok and had a play around with it? It actually sickens me a little that an app that I've been creating funny vids with is being used in such a sick way by other people. I'll give a simple example of how I used it. I drew a with a marker pen a picture...

    Conor Gallagher

    I didn't see the game but saw the result. It looked like it was O'Reilly, Foden and Silva that prevailed in the middle of the park based on the result. I wouldn't really call any of them midfield dominators. They are about running and passing and quick feet. I do believe Gallagher will give...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    So are there stats that really look at how we transition through the thirds? For me this is at the crux of the conversation you\re having with Steff. Take the Poch days. We had a genius like Dembele who would always progress the ball from our defensive third to the middle third. Then we had Dele...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    We also need to make sure the opposition get the yellow card when our central players are moving through the middle third in central areas. We accept the professional fouls way too easy. Perhaps Gallagher is bit more wordly wise and will get in the ear of the referees. It's hard to play those...

    Does winning count as dropping out in May?

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    I'm never sure on these data points. You just can't tell when the slow down happens to the body at that age. He's 6'3" as well. He's a big lad to be dragging his body around the park in centre mid. I actually think he'll end up a centre half. Saying that, as we inevitably drop out of the CL...

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    Thing is, Palhinha is towards the end of his career and his minutes need managing more than most. There's probably been some data driven reasons why Palhinha has played the minutes he has. We've been operating with 2 very senior centre mids and 3 young centre mids. This is where having a 25...

    I also don't agree with the "Romero AND VDV" aren't suited to one system of the other. They are different defenders. I would rather VDV hones his defensive skills to Romero's levels. Romero is way more comfortable in a defence that isn't held on the half way line. I'm not saying he wants to be...

    Yep, his decision making in the moment is still very raw. That will improve, but it won't hurt to have Gallagher around to learn from.
