Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

So what are we left with?

Forster

Porro Gray Dragusin Spence

Bissouma Sarr Maddison

Kulu Solanke Son?

not the end of the world if Botman isn’t fit yet that’s burn and Lloyd Kelly at CB if trippier plays son might re-find his form.

Wed without Sarr and Maddison is a huge fuckin issue but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there
I suppose we don't know what we're left with, we don't know who is sick do we? Or maybe I've missed it.
 
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou on what he puts down the amount of injuries his team are suffering to: "I think it is probably a combination of different things. The amount of fixtures, the way we play. I guess the challenging thing for us is that quite a few of our injuries have been re-injuries which is something we're looking at.
Yeah I just watched the press conference itself.

What’s your issue with that quote then?

To me he’s saying that the combination of playing intense, high pressing, modern football and the extra schedule demands from our other injuries is what’s causing us problems. Seems pretty objective and matter of fact.

He’s not saying an intense style of football on its own is causing the injuries.

Do we know which ones have the illness?

ok.
 
Very downbeat press conference from the gaffer. It's been evident for some time Ange's unshakable belief in what he is doing is gone.
I wonder if some of that is down to a realisation that he ain’t getting what he needs in January. Before the window he was incredibly bullish stating we were definitely doing business. Maybe the Don has had a word and put him right.

Or maybe he is just fed up with it all
