    This isn't to do with age. There are just as many players start young who do well as those that don't. As well as just as many who don't get a chance until their early 20s who also get overrun and fade away. You're not talking about an age related burnout but instead a mental suitable based...

    But those players burned out due to the number of games they played over a consistent period, the injuries they accumulated over those periods and many times being rushed back too soon. Their issue was not starting a singular PL game against a physical side like Palace. If Moore starts the...

    I do agree, either approach would be a big improvement I just think with the way Ange sets us out and the wide players we do have (Johnson In particular) that having someone able to play those longer distance accurate passes would really free them up and make the best use of their best...

    Those numbers are typical for Johnson, he rarely touches the ball more than 30 odd times a game (even in his recent scoring period), Son this season starting on the left has been better but still quite poor participation numbers. I think it's a bit of issue when we are largely a slower, more...

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur vs Emirates Marketing Project ***

    City don't have much of a squad anymore and are carrying a few injuries, so Pep can't really play a weakened side unless he fills it with academy graduates. I expect to see a fairly familiar side from them plus 2 or maybe 3 academy guys. That might include the likes of Bobb who is kind of first...

    Mikey Moore

    You've just said the same thing, you think playing him at this stage was a negative to his development. This is what I said also, I just don't agree that it is a problem. Edit: And more specifically to your point re burnout, do you think this one game is going to burn him out? How does that...

    Yves Bissouma

    I've said for a while that we need a deep switch passer. Someone who can hit the corners or cross field with low and accurate passees, especially with wide players like Johnson, Son and Werner who do best when running on to balls in space and struggle when faced up against defenders. I...

    I've seen people say maybe we shouldn't have started given his age and the result, I can only assume they think that him playing and not overly excelling is somehow a negative to his development.

    Dominic Solanke

    Part of the issue for me with the crosses we do put in is that they aren't aimed at anyone, they're just thrown into an area and we hope for ogs, rebounds or the striker reading the flight correctly. No one (other than Porro) is actually crossing the ball with accuracy to where the striker will...

    Ballon d'Or

    Did you watch much of Real last season? Bellingham scored a lot but Vinnie was more pivotal more influential and more involved. Bellingham got a lot of the headlines due to the unexpected number of goals he was scoring, but he was basically playing striker so in reality it wasn't as surprising...

    The Official 2024/25 Premier League Thread

    Hmmm Slot was seen as potentially one of the big managers. He was on the radar for Barca, Liverpool etc. I think the Spurs job would have been a risky choice for him to take tbh even without any club coming to him directly.

    Dominic Solanke

    Are people starting to see what I've spoken about in this thread? We create no chances for him. Has he had a shot on goal in his last 2 or 3 appearances? I'm consistently predictable but I just don't rate our wide players, they create nothing of real quality, not particularly good at link...

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur vs AFC Richmond/Crystal Palace - Sunday 27th October 14:00 ***

    The questions to ask could we not afford one, was there someone specific we couldn't bring in or did we think what we had was enough and we didn't need one?

    Cann we make the top 4 or 5?

    Well so far this season....:neutral: 😅

    Don't. It's not an enjoyable experience. We were out played from minute 1 to the full whistle. A fair bit of hustle and bustle from us but very, very little quality.

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    I do but he was kind of forced into it due to injuries. I don't even necessarily think he must change things, just maybe be a little bit more cognizant of the oppositions strengths and weaknesses. I don't think going head to head versus City is our wisest course of action.

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Aye, but those were teams that were usually prepared to compromise and adjust to playing a way best suited to beating City, Ange is unwilling to adjust so I dunno. We pretty much do the same thing City do but with inferior players and inferior coaching. Well, United are crap. We were very good...

    Cann we make the top 4 or 5?

    It's not too early. You need to win 2 games and draw 1 out a block of every 4 league games +1/2 wins across the league campaign to finish on the 70-72 points that have historically been necessary to finish 4th. We are already off this course and need a converted run of positive results to get...

    If a 1-0 defeat to Palace is gonna scar him then he's fudged because we lose games like this one regularly and that's probably not changing this season.

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur vs AFC Richmond/Crystal Palace - Sunday 27th October 14:00 ***

    I think part of the issue is whilst the base technical level of our players is at a historically good standard, it's not actually high enough for what Ange demands. The quality of the first touch and the press resistance isn't where it needs to be, nor the range and quality of the pass into...
