Somehow it definitely is his fault.
If the quote from
Tomo
above is true, how do you really plan for thirteen absences? Clubs can only have a certain number in their squad.
If they do they better do it tonight because I'm gonna be pissed off if they do it something like 3 hours into my journey tomorrow
Michael Carrick too
Spence is Spanish?
I think he just fucked that bit up
Probably changed his mind from putting Reguilon.

Why doesn’t any of the press take him up on this one? Everyone here said it was a risk and such an unnecessary one. Keep saying drag had been playing well he didnt deserve to be dropped. Even both were fully fit surely whole point of competition for places means you keep your spot if playing well. It’s not like cuti has been good this season.
Oh ffs regardless of what the medical team said or not. No one forced him to pick both in the sane game when he had a perfectly good player who was fit and playing well he could have selected. What do you think then? No one risks two faulty tyres if you have at least one good one. Heard of IT resiliency in IT?
You’re still wrong! Only seem to think it was a good idea to play both of them.
Strange two weeks later he picks v chavs.23 Nov 2024:
Ange Postecoglou hopes Cristian Romero is nearly over the toe and hamstring problems which have hampered the Argentine in recent weeks but says Tottenham will give the defender time to return to 100 per cent fitness.
"With us, he hasn’t been fully fit for probably two or three weeks," Postecoglou said. "He’s kind of soldiered on through it because that is the kind of character [he is] … and we kind of needed him but I think when he went away, he kind of realised, this is not healing the way we want it to.
"It’s a couple of separate issues. And I spoke to him and said: ‘Look, just have a break. We need you 100 per cent fit.’ As much as we’d love to have him out there, I think it’s best for him he gets totally over everything. He had the birth of his daughter this week as well which is also a significant event in his life.
"One was obviously the knock on his toe which has been a bit troublesome and prior to that he had a bit of a tight hamstring," Postecoglou added.
Postecoglou reveals new Romero update as depleted Spurs face Man City test
Argentine has joined Micky van de Ven on the sidelines to create worrying defensive shortage against the championswww.standard.co.uk
Here Ange literally admits that he selected him knowing he wasn’t fit which made the problems worse.
Didn’t really give him much of a break to get 100% fit.

Clearly Radu looks up for it
Austin for Forster is 100% a downgrade?
Best thing that could happen is it shit it down with snow or someone call and say a suspicion suitcase is found on its own and it gets called off
Ange Postecoglou on did he need a bigger squad at the start of the season:
"Look, some of it, but some of it's just circumstances. I know we always want a head on a stick and we want somebody to blame, and there's always somebody at fault, but some of it's just life, mate, you know, football is like life and you know how sometimes in life you get one thing go wrong and you get another thing later on, and you're doing nothing different, you're just going 'why is it always me at the moment?'
"And you know what, it's all temporary, you get through it, and for us, some of it we understand is a consequence of the situation we're in in terms of fixtures, the way we play, but some of it's just the way, you know.
"We lost Djed with a red card and he was supposed to start over Destiny. Destiny starts doesn't get the rest, and then...it's like that's just life and sometimes no one's at blame, no-one's at fault, you know, it's just, we're going through a bad trot, but it is temporary, we'll get through it. We'll analyse areas we can improve in and move forward from there."

Agree, I'm on the 7-15 from Manchester in the morning.
I'm polishing my boots in preparation
Forster has 485 careers appearances, Austin hasn't played a competitive game of men's football since July 2021.
