    *** Tottenham Hotspur vs clams***

    And like with the red card last week and the deflection this, some awful luck goes against us.

    *** Tottenham Hotspur vs clams***

    Gah, feel this is another like last week, in the sense we just haven’t executed when we needed to. We pressed in the first half, hard. We needed to score then otherwise we’d tire. And we didn’t. Chelsea switched formation to control the midfield at the start of the second half. They’d always...

    Nuno Espírito Santo - Sacked

    We are fit enough, but it’s about spikes in the intensity. You can play a consistent level all the way through, or you can choose when you spike. It’s a principal applied to many things other than football, but you trade off an element of randomness for more control of when you do it.

    Nuno Espírito Santo - Sacked

    Well, if we were actually able to bring Gil on maybe that would have been the moment we really went for it? Or maybe it was just a brick day? They will happen.

    Nuno Espírito Santo - Sacked

    I don’t think we are. It’s no more likely to win than trying to go in half time a couple ahead, but failing to score, draining the players and playing into the opposition’s hands by leaving us open on the break. No strategy is ultimately totally right or totally wrong. Sometimes it goes for...

    Nuno Espírito Santo - Sacked

    If you accept Nuno’s strategy is to win the game in the second half, you can understand why yesterday could have gone either way. I’m not for one second saying that we were good, but I am saying I bet we will have a lot of first halves this season where we look average, where we’re sizing up...

    Nuno Espírito Santo - Sacked

    I really just think today was one of those just majorly brick days at the office, and not much can be read into Nuno’s aptitude for the job around it. Reason being, his whole strategy comes down to winning the game in the second half, and being solid in the first. Given the injuries, we pretty...

    I agree. This coming right after the ‘Nuno is Brent’ story. Same publication. We clearly have someone with an axe to grind at the club. Maybe it is Charlie trying to enact a very tiny amount of pathetic revenge. It’s also quite jarring as a story because it doesn’t seem to add up to what we...

    You’re ignoring the fact that there is a global pandemic, with travel restrictions and quarantine periods that make this something way beyond playing for your national team in normal circumstances. The rules as it is means that Argentinian players were not able to enter Brazil. I feel like we...

    Giovani Lo Celso

    I get it all, but I kind of come down on the side of people saying it’s a global pandemic, people have made massive sacrifices in all walks of life. People have missed funerals. Their parents dying. I missed my best friend’s wedding this weekend because of international travel restrictions, and...

    Giovani Lo Celso

    I’m not sure you can blame the club much here. Seems like we did what we could to try and be somewhat understanding (given we don’t have a legal right to deny players wanting to go) and tried to work with the rest of the PL in a united stand. The reason being, FIFA might try and punish one club...

    Nuno Espírito Santo - Sacked

    I’m trying to think back to the Berbatov and Modric summers, because in my head I feel like the sheer volume of high quality young players coming in is higher now, where as before we made a statement, and then filled around them with cheaper options. When Berbatov came, I’m remembering also...

    The Rebuild

    And given the resurgence of Harley and Dier, I see no reason why Winks couldn’t do the same. Doherty is a newcomer, but him too. I think what we needed was enough of a clear out that we could claw back some feeling of freshness that we lost from the best years of Poch. And certain players had...

    Nuno Espírito Santo - Sacked

    You write so incredibly well, and I think your analysis of a lot of what happened in the club post 2019 is spot on. What I will say though, is that I think we do seem to be operating like the kind of the club I hoped we would post stadium build, and that some of the people ‘pro’ Levy, eg Billy...

    Fabio Paratici - Consultant

    He’s got so much energy, he strikes me as someone that has learnt from the best, has acquired all the knowledge, but wants to now strike out on his own and build something for himself. He was part of a bigger machine at Juve, but he’s the man at Spurs. I am sure he loves it. It really is...

    Serge Aurier

    Feel the termination is us learning to an extent from the end of Poch’s reign, and the stagnation that set in. One of the things we need to compete is an absolute top spirit, and we can’t have players hanging around the club who don’t want to be here. In the past Levy would have held on, but we...

    Rating out of 10 for the window?

    Spurs Twitter foaming at how bad the window is…I think it’s been bloody good. And I think it is going under appreciated that we under performed last year, so merely by getting back to some competent level fairly reflecting our squad’s ability, we will improve. We also have a really good squad...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Watford FC ***

    Massively agree, I’m not sure why my interpretation of our play seems so different to what a lot of others are seeing, but I think we are better with the ball than the team is probably being given credit for right now. Yea it’s three 1-0s, but I don’t think the intention is to grind out that...

    Davinson Sanchez

    Yep - isn’t beaten at the back but his distribution has noticeably improved too. Whatever happened to him this summer (some good reports saying he came back to pre season with a new level of confidence) it has done him the world of good. Really like a new signing, in reality probably just...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Watford FC ***

    My worry when Nuno was first linked was that we’d play like Wolves, but watching these games I’m really happy with how we’ve played. We don’t look gung ho, but we do look always in control. I don’t detect a massive difference from the 18/19 Poch at this point to be honest. I’m sure we’ll find...
