    2 I think? And for any CB that can easily lead to a suspension, even more so a CB like him. Need him to regain what he showed last season. But the risk of another suspension will be there regardless. If we can build on the Liverpool result another suspension from him will be less impactful soon...

    I hope getting a late equaliser, stopping the run of defeats and getting a result through hard work will help change things a bit. I actually think this game could have quite easily been another of those "shambolic" defeats. We started quite well, then they score - you could feel it. The...

    Absolutely. And think maybe Tudor has found his role now for us. Impact sub. He has the quality and shows effort coming off the bench. One or two situations where he really chased back too. But not sure he shows enough when starting. May be a physical thing, may be a mental thing. But doesn't...

    +++OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool+++

    We were in a low block for significant phases of that game imo. With both strikers joining in getting back into midfield areas to defend and cover space. But other than a period after their goal and for a while towards the end when we were clearly throwing caution to the wind and didn't have...

    A question that's perhaps more for the future, right now the focus is obviously only survival in the PL. But could this be a good learning experience for some of these players. It's probably the biggest mess any of them have faced in footballing terms. The pressure of a club our size...

    Pape Matar Sarr

    Yeah. Absolutely one of our best performers. Showed what he just about always shows, effort running, getting a leg in there to win the ball. But also showed real composure and quality on the ball at times. Super impressive under the circumstances. Not sure if it was his best game ever for us...

    Igor the Departed

    Not just probably. Would imo be really weird to sack him now. Got a performance out of a depleted squad, team also showed good resilience and fight in the CL game after the calamity of the opening 15-20 minutes (which definitely wasn't on Tudor). There will be at the very least a bit of belief...

    Richarlison

    Getting into goalscoring positions remains an underrated quality for a striker imo. Always plays with heart and emotion.

    Callum Olusesi

    Thought he did well after he came on. Didn't look out of place at all.

    +++OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool+++

    I want to echo a lot of the sentiments on here and what was said on the pod. Showed real effort and spirit, fought for everything. Also showed, more in moments, quality. Really well done and feels like it could be a turning point, but we won't know that until more games come around. But some...

    So based on that perspective even a crushing normal defeat would be seen as a significant positive. Thanks.

    Yeah. Kinda thought De Zerbi could be a decent option when we sacked Frank, but obvious downsides. Then again, no candidates without clear downsides... No obvious right choice here.

    +++OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool+++

    Even more players missing, Tudor looking like he's going to he replaced after the game, 6 losses in a row. I'm a strong believer that anything can happen in a game of football, but not sure how we get any from this game. Anyone have a hopeful take? Maybe the players can galvanise on their own...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    Can only guess we're not wanting to give someone new the Liverpool game as their first game?

    I was critical of Ange for some similar decisions. We should have a better squad, but the role of the manager is also to manage the squad he has. Yes, I would rather have rested some players and played worse players.

    Igor the Departed

    We went from him feeling like he had no other legitimate options to us having to use the other options for 3 months anyway. A very much both probable and predictable outcome. Short term and rather poor management for me.

    Igor the Departed

    The choice between flogging Kudus and having no outball also very much included the option of flogging him to the point of him getting a lengthy injury problem meaning that we'd be without that out ball for a rather long time. Similar with playing Udogie despite his recent return from injury...

    Levy's Plan

    Probably would have kept Paratici happy too? With Levy for sure there were mistakes, but he was very much capable of decisive action when things were going really poorly. It was actually used as a criticism against him, him only acting decisively in the market when we were in real trouble...

    Even just one thing on Frank... (I think there are many, but this is one of the bigger one's). We had one available player in midfield and up front who could hold the ball up really well and progress the ball really well in Kudus. He was absolutely key to us looking semi competent in the first...

    Yeah. Astonishing just how many ways we find to lose, shot ourselves in the foot, get unlucky etc.
