    Agreed. Top level performance. Still remains to be seen if he would be even better on the right imo. To me looking a natural on the left now. Good problem to have. Assuming we stick with Ange and this system means that if we want to add another full back in the summer either side would be...

    Injuries

    We have improved our football infrastructure massively going back quite a few years now. Think it was the training facilities that were described as world class some way back. There still being a need for further development shouldn't be a surprise perhaps. A lot happening on the sports science...

    It's only really by the comparison of what's been going on with injuries for the last couple of months that our current injury situation looks even decent. 3 obvious and important starters missing in Romero, VdV and Solanke. Johnson who did start most games only ready for a sub appearance...

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Man United ** 16/2/25 - KO at 4.30pm.

    Not quite sure what people expected. I expected an improved performance (players back and some rest). Thought we got that. For significant stretches we looked rather comfortable, but then there were moments when they broke were we looked too vulnerable. Also the period in the second half when...

    Injuries

    Our depth is getting really good now. Just that our injuries have been ridiculous for a while.

    Guglielmo Vicario

    Good to have him back and good to have him back looking close to his best. Think there was a situation early on where he could have come off his line to get to a through ball, but other than that he didn't miss a beat.

    Son Heung-Min

    Agreed. Had we had fully fit and match fit options on the bench I think he would have been subbed earlier. But looked better and fresher, no surprise.

    Micky van de Ven

    Said it before, but physically he reminds me a bit of Bale. That combination of acceleration, top speed, strength and height. Not controversial to say that a player like that will often be more vulnerable to some muscle injuries. Good to see the club take steps to mitigate that, hopefully...

    Wilson Odobert

    Absolutely. Just a cameo, but still showed a bit of what we've missed out on when he's been injured. Good to see him looking fresh and fit even if it was just for a couple of minutes. Looked confident too. Those things can take a bit of time after a lengthy injury. Hopefully he'll get more...

    James Maddison

    Very good to have him back. With some exceptions perhaps even in his not so good performances he's still been important to us imo. And when he's good he's really good.

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Two fairly attacking teams on the day imo. Even with a back three and two wing backs who defended fairly deep they had Fernandes as one of two central midfielders and "two strikers" (not quite perhaps, but close to it). Them looking good going forward wasn't just us being vulnerable. They may...

    Thought we were too vulnerable defensively, even accepting that we play attacking front foot football and will be more vulnerable defensively than under a more defense minded coach. Not sure that's just the system though. Still both or first choice centre backs out. VdV just stops quite a few...

    Mathys Tel

    I think he looks really good. Still not fully clicking for him, but looks a natural. Gets chances, always the most important thing for a striker. Has a lot of ability.

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Man United ** 16/2/25 - KO at 4.30pm.

    Absolutely. Obviously don't know if injuries or fitness played a part in that, but starting ahead of Bissouma and Sarr. And put in what I thought looked both a mature and very good performance.

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Man United ** 16/2/25 - KO at 4.30pm.

    Decent performance. The week off and players back obviously makes a difference. A bit too vulnerable defensively and had periods where we couldn't get out. Really could have created more too. But still, decent. Another midweek off will continue to do us more good imo. Still quite a way off our...

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Man United ** 16/2/25 - KO at 4.30pm.

    Expecting a better performance with a midweek off, hopefully some more actual options on the bench. Not expecting free flowing full power mode Ange ball from our best games under him. But a more cohesive and energetic performance would be my expectation. Need some of our bigger names to step up...

    Ange departs

    I agree you can't say that there were no other options. I think you can say that there were no other options Ange trusted. Seems pretty obvious that he doesn't trust Reguilon and didn't trust Lankshear. Can discuss or even disagree if it was right not to trust them... Or trust them that...

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Man United ** 16/2/25 - KO at 4.30pm.

    I think something like that is quite likely. Outfield players returning from injuries most likely on the bench to come on rather than risk them from the start. Depending on when and how they've looked when returning. May see Kinsky start too and give Vic another week too.

    Ange departs

    Ange hasn't used every tool. He's far from the only manager that applies to, I think it applies to just about every manager in different circumstances. He probably has his reasons, reasons more or less unknown to us. It's very easy from the outside to call that out, but not knowing the...

    I guess we'll see in the next couple of games if a couple of weeks without a midweek game makes any difference. Personally I think it will make some difference, but back to "fresh" not so sure.
