    Richarlison

    Quite a few of your posts seem to boil down to "we should buy excellent players that would be better than having players that aren't excellent".

    Xavi Simons

    Where a player should play depends on the system and style of play too. From what I understand he's done well on the left for Leipzig too? My feeling is that he'll most likely end up being more of a 10. Then again so was Eriksen and he was brilliant on the right for us. Kranjcar was also quite...

    Xavi Simons

    I think that's the most likely by far. But also think sometimes, in some games playing him on the left could be the better option.

    Xavi Simons

    We always want to win, no? I think he's a horse that can fit different courses (I know nothing about horses, but think I get the saying correctly). What was the song about Eriksen... "on the left, on the right" etc... He's a bit like that. He doesn't require a specific position to thrive.

    Xavi Simons

    I think I already said something about not having him just be a touchline hugger to get the best out of him from the left. When he played there for us he had Spence behind him, but with Udogie now getting back to real fitness that won't always be the case. My point is essentially "it depends"...

    Xavi Simons

    Based on a very small sample size where him playing as a 10 against Brighton coincided with us chasing a goal and also playing another of our more creativity players in midfield (Bergvall). Long story short the story is still rather short and it's a bit early to be making strong conclusions on...

    Xavi Simons

    To me that applies when one of the better players is clearly better on one position than another. I don't think that applies as much to Simons, particularly if playing a more inside left role. Wouldn't want to see him just hug the touchline, but as long as he has the freedom to roam a bit I'm...

    Richarlison

    Those are good numbers man. Obviously there are several better strikers around, but as one of three options for the striker role (along with Solanke and Kolo Muani) he's definitely a good player to have. Hopefully those other two get back and match fit so we can manage minutes all around and...

    Xavi Simons

    Let's see what he does over a bit of time. I do think he'll end up mostly playing as a 10 sooner or later. But he's more than capable of being really good on the left as well. And particularly if he has a more overlapping left back behind him he can drift into a lot of the same areas from the...

    Luka Vuskovic

    Good to see him get a really strong game after that Bayern game (those surely will happen). Getting a goal too. Regular starts for him this season hopefully will result.

    *** Tottenham Hotspur vs Doncaster Rovers - Carabao Cup ***

    A difference between now and then is the depth of quality we have in the squad. Of course those players won't be fluid and in form and all those things, so a risk of a disjointed performance. Imo we should still have enough quality on the pitch to come out on top. And some of those players do...

    João Palhinha

    Sure we can partner Palhinha with Sarr/Bentancur. Or play all three in midfield. We can with Palhinha set up to be overall really difficult to break down. What we also can do with Palhinha is what we saw in the second half against Brighton. Play him and essentially surround him with more...

    Lucas Bergvall

    Only watched the last 30-35 minutes of the game, but imo really good and somewhat intriguing to see him play a bit deeper with Simons as the 10/AM. If/when he's good enough defensively I think that mostly fixes our ball progression and creativity issues deep in midfield. A team with Bergvall...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Brighton & Hove Albion FC ***

    Only watched the last 30 or so minutes for reasons. Good to hear we were better on the ball in this game. What I saw I thought was rather impressive and good to see Simons come on and influence things in the middle. Strong fight back, tough place to go. Let's hope there is more to come from...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Brighton & Hove Albion FC ***

    If Udogie is ready to start this would be a good game to play Spence at right back imo. Could help defensively up against Mitoma, and we can't just keep playing Porro every game (as important as I think his passing is for us). VdV too may be a pertinent rotation. The last thing we need is...

    Hopefully at least some networks and broadcasters will stand up to them. And hopefully at least some on the right will see how ridiculous this is.

    Richarlison

    I agree he's inconsistent in his overall play, as you mentioned in a different post. He can have great involvements, but most of his technical work is inconsistent. Provide him good service in the box and he'll score regularly. And his work rate, effort and all that will pretty much always be...

    American politics

    Luckily the Democrats won't imo. "They're not allowed to do that". What a thing for the president of a country with free speech to say. I can't understand how this is acceptable to anyone other than a small fringe. This alone should essentially be career ending for a politician. Just that...

    Dominic Solanke

    Absolutely. And I'm looking forward to see what Solanke can offer us under Frank. My hopes are rather high. Maybe Frank can get him scoring more freely. But I also think he offers some other qualities that Richarlison lack. Better hold up play and link play in particular. A better target for...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Doesn't feel to me that we're zigging when others are zagging. A lot of teams going for more physicality and defensive solidity, a real focus on set pieces. Less dogmatisk, more flexibility. Feels we're very much following the trend, Frank did his part in shaping that trend at Brentford. That's...
