Match Spurs v Villa Sunday 26 Nov 2pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Injured or banned matters not; "Missing" is missing.

By the 30 min mark we were missing:

Romero
VDV
Biss
Sarr
Benta
Maddison

And playing our 6th choice winger (Gil) cos we have 3 wingers injured too.


Moan about CBs; fine.... but the rest is bollocks.
It's incredible that people don't think missing 6 out of your 11 will have an impact on your ability to win games.

Injured.....suspended......who actually gives a fuck - they're not available to play and that's all that matters.


Trying to win internet points over a technicality between injured, suspended or unavailable is five year old playground shite.

You can try & twist what I said however you like. I was talking about injuries & clearly stated that we had 3 injured players missing from our starting 11 today that are first choice regular starters.
 
I don’t understand all the negativity…. A narrow loss with a patched up squad. Fine margins and sometimes you just have to be lucky. That said bentancur stays on the pitch we probably win that game.

Congratulations, it’s a brilliant point that my scum supporting friends have also made.

We’re obliterated by injuries and suspensions at this point, regardless of which. Between that and some bad luck (what did we hit…2/3 posts today?) and things are going to unravel.
 
Parking the bus worked well last season didn’t it!

We didn’t have the personnel in centre of defence to park the bus. We’d have only been peppered with long balls and conceded more goals.
Parking the bus is a generalised term. Preserving a lead or point is different. Especially just before half time just preserve what you have. Don't give the ball away, no silly free kicks, waste some time etc. Game management rather than gung ho.
 
It's not all doom and gloom guys!
