+++ OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Sunderland 12th April 2026 +++

[Robbo]

Gonna put money on Leeds getting a result tomorrow.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

That’s what the club are gambling RdZ can do I guess. They’ve dealt him a really bricky hand. Be interesting to see if he can play it.

Personally I’d start Xavi all day as we have no one else to create. The only place he fits in that system is where Bergvall was playing.

Where Gallagher was playing for me
You have Bergvall, Gallagher and Sarr for one of the running roles and Xavi in front
He has massive issues in the attackin areas

 

[Robbo]

I agree I thought the suns were poor!

Arteta, is that you?

 

[Legohamster]

Yeah agreed. We've not given him enough time. Hopefully he'll have learnt a lot from today. He is a really good coach. But it does show that TF was maybe not as bad as some have made him out to be.

Would have kept him till the summer in hindsight.

Would have not been worse off

 

[Bedfordspurs]

It's quite baffling that a team fighting relegation expect themselves to be able to dribble every goal into the net, or be able to pinpoint crosses right onto the abscent striker's foot or face. I miss having players who dares to shoot from outside the box (and have a remote chance of hitting the target).

Appreciate people don’t like stats and XG .. but how did the have 2 shots on target (the goal can’t count surely..) have an xG of almost 2 goals in that game
Football doesn’t make sense anymore

The Tudor fiasco has cost us dearly as we replaced the last manager with someone worse at a crucial moment in the season.

I agree football makes no sense anymore but I think xg is calculated by using all shots not just those on target

Wait for the moon energy at special evening training tomorrow!!!

 

[Gilzeantoscore]

I don't think we will come straight back up either. The Championship is such a slog and none of this lot have what it takes. Many of course will tinkle off, but they will be replaced by cut priced signings. i reckon it might take a few seasons to come back up.

 

[djp82]

Worst squad I’ve seen at this club in a long time.

Our recruitment is amateurish and I’ve been saying that for a long time.

You can change the manager as much as you like but unless miracles are performed by RDZ the championship will be our home. Thats what this squad looks like it’s built for.

Keeping Frank was the first issue

 

[Glenda's Legs]

I gave up smoking in 2009. Very very occasionally I get the temptation for it.
I have it BIG time now. Won’t succumb, not least because I’m on my own so no one to scrimp off. But it’s bloody depressing, even though I didn’t expect more than a point from today.

 

[thfcsteff]

Yep. Forest, Leeds and West Ham will pick up points. As evidenced by this weekend. All 3 are better teams than we are. Which of our players would get a game for Forest, Leeds or West Ham? I'll be waiting....

I mean, the hard truth is we don't deserve to stay up. All three are playing better for sure.

XG has nothing to do with shots on target.

It judges the opportunity before it’s struck.

Looks like you picked the wrong millennium to give up smoking

 

[Bedfordspurs]

That’s the point though. Aside from the first 5 minutes we created close to nothing. We need to win games, not draw games. The best we’d have gotten from today was a draw really.

Unless we can start creating more, and a lot more, we’re fudged.

The lack of creating is the biggest issue by some way

 

[Robspur12]

Keeping Frank was the first issue

We look even worse now! If you were going to replace him, it needed to be with someone better. I believe we have a better manager now but it's probably too late.

 

[BrentwoodSpur]

I GENUINELY need to find some positives from today and moving forward. I may sound delusional but I’m fighting against blind faith here at the minute. I think we were unlucky with the deflection for the goal and obviously the ref was a complete flange. Another must win on Saturday and a week for RDZ to show us why we went for him. @thfcsteff you need to resurrect the positivity thread!

 

[ricky2tricky4city]

Due to the lack of wide men, I think we should go back to putting two up top.

In a basic 442 or 352, 3412.

Gets Richie and RKM off the wings ...and we provide width with Porro Udogie Spence or Tel.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

XG has nothing to do with shots on target.

It judges the opportunity before it’s struck.

So how do they get almost 2 from their shots
I always though it had to be an actual shot to be measured
