    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur FC v Everton, Sun May 24th, 4.00pm, The Lane***

    3 goals need to go in for us to be relegated now. 2 for Everton and 1 for West Ham. Was slightly slightly concerned we celebrated too much after the goal, but of course I know what it means. Let’s do this lads.

    Cristian Romero

    Yes exactly, bad judgement call initially (and to try and explain it away via his agent) but they have come to their senses.

    Cristian Romero

    True. I’m open to the idea that he may be incredible behind the scenes in ways I can’t see. But I also think he’s been too often unavailable through suspension. And this episode just doesn’t sit right with me personally. I get that he has agreed it with the club’s medical stuff. But I think...

    Cristian Romero

    I can’t speak for the people who said Sonny was a bad choice of captain. I never thought it myself. And to an extent you are right, this sort of thing is driven by results. And I am by no means saying Romero is the only cause of what has happened this season. But I just don’t think he’s been a...

    Cristian Romero

    I don’t think it’s an outlandish a point as you seem to think. TVFTL pod has commented on this too many times. The players have been all too willing to criticise the board, the owners, ‘circumstances and challenges that will always be there’ (to quote Romero’s own instagram post on the subject)...

    Cristian Romero

    Honestly if you don’t think it says something about his leadership that he chooses not to be there, that’s ok and we can agree to disagree. I think it says something. I was making a general point, if the captain is not the most committed, then other players will follow that lead. There’s very...

    Cristian Romero

    I think it is A: yes pride and optics, because it’s quite embarrassing for our club captain to choose not to be there for one of the biggest games in its history. Leadership matters. As people have said, it’s about not being more likely to win one game if he is there, it’s about what it says...

    Cristian Romero

    Even accepting all of this, would it not have been possible, once it became clear that Everton was a do or die game, to stay here a few more days? I don’t think him being here is going to make the difference either way, I still just think it’s bizarre behaviour. You’re the CLUB CAPTAIN…just be...

    Cristian Romero

    I usually would agree but this is more than that. I think, taking everything into account, I’m pretty disgusted by Romero to be honest. He is the club captain. I simply don’t understand why, even if you accept that he needs to work with Argentina physios to get ready for the World Cup, that...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Sure. But I do think his most recent presser was a departure from a very consistent and intentional ‘theme’ he’d been following since he arrived.

    ENIC

    I do find it funny, this piece is back slapping about how many clever organisational changes they are making to create alignment and set us up for the future, but just funny there is no mention of the terrible football decisions that have taken place this season to get us to where we are. Except...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur FC v Everton, Sun May 24th, 4.00pm, The Lane***

    Yeah, of course. He wouldn’t be happy. And I don’t think that’s what he’s expecting. I think it’s a really interesting judgement call. Continue with the ‘low pressure, I love you all, everything will work out because you’re great’ stuff. And see where the cards fall. Or acknowledge the...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur FC v Everton, Sun May 24th, 4.00pm, The Lane***

    Listened to that too, and thought it was super interesting. I think RDZ has been so intentional about his public comms and to shift the messaging like this is a clear signal that he thinks something needs to change. I view it as trying to relax the players over the course of a few weeks, but...

    Djed Spence

    Add this to the list of completely preposterous calls going against us this season. I can only hope the club is keeping their powder dry but is going to go nuclear at the season’s end. I don’t even remember the players arguing that much about this Spence one. I wonder if they all know it’s...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea, Tue May 19th, 8.15pm, Stamford Bridge ***

    Totally, I agree with you. But even taking them at their word here, I just don’t get it. When exactly does a grab or a touch become a foul. In the NBA for example there’s a ‘foul in the act of shooting’ where a free throw is awarded. Often times players will try and bait the foul, and they will...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Agreed. I also think there’s something in, the moment is so big, that the only way to thrive within it is to step into it, to acknowledge it, and play to it. I get the idea of keeping positive over the course of weeks because otherwise, the whole environment is tense, intense and overall isn’t...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea, Tue May 19th, 8.15pm, Stamford Bridge ***

    So that makes me wonder then how they decide when the foul ‘began’? Was it when Cucarella’s arms went around Van De Ven? The first touch? Or when he was actually hauled to the ground? It just seems entirely subjective. There’s a lot of grabbing at corners that isn’t deemed a foul. So when was...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea, Tue May 19th, 8.15pm, Stamford Bridge ***

    Genuine question on the Cucarella thing - are they saying that because the foul started because the ball was in play, it’s not a pen? Or because the ref blew before the ball was in play? What I want to know is, whose to say what is a foul - considering how much grabbing goes on that goes...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    You could well be right. I wonder if it will be seen as a master stroke or a mistake. It is so frustrating. Chelsea were absolutely there for the taking last night. There was a point where we just had them on the ropes and needed the killer instinct. Instead we gave the ball away and added to...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    One thing I thought was interesting from RDZ’s presser is that he’s clearly ramping the pressure up on the players ahead of Sunday. I’ve thought it notable so far that he hasn’t really done that…he’s focused on being positive, telling them how good they all are, and now he’s talking about this...
