Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We were 9th this time last year, routinely not even managing a shot on target all game under both nuno and Jose.
Most spurs fans saying it was the worse squad of players ever . Struggling with European conference teams .

We now in last 16 of champions League and top 4
The football isn't good but seriously the turn around in 12 months is huge
Amazing how quickly some of our fans forget.
 
Sticking with this wing back system and 3 centre halves does my head in considering our wing backs are shit and so are our centre halves.

Desperately need new blood in these areas and a creative midfielder for this system to look good.
 
It’s very frustrating how slow we start just about every game. First time in 9 games today apparently we scored a first half goal and we still trailed at half time. We’ve fallen behind in 9 of our 14 league games.

By way of contrast, Woolwich have had this annoying knack all season of scoring early. Outside of their lone loss at Old Trafford, in their other 12 league games, they’ve only trailed for 8 minutes, that at home to Fulham.
 
You don’t think that our fitness has anything to do with our record of recovering from losing positions (the best in the league by far)?

:contetellmemore:
We didn’t seem any fitter than Woolwich, Man U, Newcastle and Dippers when we went behind. We stayed behind in each of those 4 games and lost.

It’s a bad habit falling behind practically every game. Might get away with it against Bournemouth and Leeds. Not the better sides.
 
got away with one yet again. its like going into a fight with one arm behind your back with this bloke as the manager. yet again same old useless cunts letting us down but he sticks with them. take kulu out of it today and we lose that easily. whats he doing taking off our only defender that can pass and replacing him with a donkey in sanchez? he takes one donkey off in emerson for an actual wingback that should of started, but to make sure its still a struggle hell chuck a donkey in sanchez on. why is dier playing the whole game after actually costing us goals? never mind the fact hes offering us nothing, hes actually costing us goals! yet he stays on, and to make things even worse hell partner that donkey up with another donkey in sanchez. just fucking baffling. every game feels like its been a struggle this year bar southampton.

if he doesnt get proper defenders and wing backs in jan then he wont last the season anyway. alarm bells are already ringing with his decisions this year. if he does fuck off take fucking emerson and dier with ya.

Don't play Dier or Sanchez???.....in case you didn't notice Romero is 'injured'......if we're going 3 at the back, who else is left??....one of them has to play...
Unless you're proposing Tanganga?
 
yea youre right we won. it doesnt matter if it was by the skin of our teeth and kulu bailed us out. it doesnt matter that its 8 games or something weve gone behind in and have been shit every first half. it doesnt matter than he keeps starting emerson. we won, so everything is rosey.

For today, yes it is

We won a game. Scored four goals. We have Kulusevski back fit. Richarlison is getting back to full fitness. Bissouma is finally starting to show his worth. We begin the break in the top four and we can go again at the end of the year where we head into a big transfer window.

It could have been alot worse today. It wasn't. Enjoy it for once.

You forgot 'scored a blatantly illegal goal'.

But not gonna moan after this one, not because we won but because there was actual entertainment value which is nice.

Good to go in to the World Cup with a win. Issues are clear to anyone with eyes but at least we're picking up the points.
