    OMT - Tottenham vs Portsmouth, FA Cup 3rd Round, 2022-23

    Not too bad a draw for us. Preston away, tricky but doable. Winners of City v. Chelsea play at home to Arsenal; Brighton at home to Liverpool or Wolves.

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    Injury to Bentancur against Ghana. Had to go off after half an hour - he immediately realized he could not go on. Muscle tear?

    What are we missing?

    I agree that PEH and Bentancur are better going forward this year, and there's room for further improvement. I think, like Bishop, that more balance is what we need in midfield to enable both to play with more freedom AND transition from defence to attack in a more measured way (i.e. not look...

    What are we missing?

    Look, I think he's our player of the season by some distance so far, and I agree that he too can do that. But what we lack is a (or another) player who can turn defence into first control, and then attack. Because we have difficulty turning defence into attack against the likes of Leeds and...

    What are we missing?

    Listening to the pod just now, it occurred to me that rather than a Maddison to complement Hojbjerg and Bentancur in CM we need a Modric - in terms of position obviously (also in terms of quality, but that's not the point, just someone who can play in a midfield five and a midfield four and hold...

    Half-Season Review - The 45-Minute Wonders?

    As in? We are in the position to pay other clubs' players to not kick some of ours? Which injuries have we picked up this year that should have been 'pro-actively reduced'? Or that should have healed sooner?

    Half-Season Review - The 45-Minute Wonders?

    This is an extremely puzzling comment when you look at what we as a club have been doing in the last five to eight years or so. Investing in the facilities has been our priority first and foremost - stadium, training ground. Do you really think we have held on to or appointed support staff...

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    Our best outfield player once again, week in week out right now. Brilliant second half from Bentancur.

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    Our best player once again, always playing the direct forward pass when he can. First name on the teamsheet.

    Emerson Royal

    How long is Emerson suspended for? Three games in the PL?

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    Skipp has not been fit, and Bissouma has not adapted well enough yet to call for a three-man midfield on a regular basis. Surely Conte has seen how we have been overrun at times in the middle, but perhaps this partly explains why he has been calling for patience. He must know we have been lucky...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Leicester City ***

    In the FA Cup.

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    Saw quite a few negative comments about him in the match thread, but I thought this was another strong game from Bentancur - not just the well-taken goal (with a slice of good fortune) and the assist for Sonny's first, but more generally his positioning without the ball, and his sharp eye for...

    Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

    I think he has done very well. Was not in my first-choice midfield two at the start of the season, but he certainly is now, mainly for his passing skills. Let's hope he can sustain his current form in this crazy season.

    Emerson Royal

    I thought he was our best player on the night until the red card. Did everything right defensively in the first half, and was instrumental in creating the situation that resulted in the dismissal.

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    MotM for me today - great vision to snuff out potential danger in midfield, and great stamina to keep plugging gaps in the second half when Fulham finally came forward a little more. The one thing I would have wished for in the transfer window was a commanding CM, but on today's showing, in...

    Fixture & Ticket News 2022/23

    Got two tickets for the Wolves game, taking my son to N17 for the first time. Also my own first visit to the new stadium after 40 or so to games at WHL. Any advice on what to do on matchday that is different to games at the Lane? I am looking forward to walking up the High Road from Seven...

    Giovani Lo Celso

    Maybe Paratici could have sold him for a small fee/obligation to buy (15m) if he had wanted to, but I think we will bank on GLC being a starter for Argentina in Qatar, which may generate much more revenue come January. Don't know if we paid all of the instalments of the amount we agreed with...

    Clement Lenglet

    I still have some hope that we will land one of those three this summer to make the most of making the Top-4 this year.
