There has to be a curse somewhere. Even the likes of Ndombele and Emerson Royal can leave and win something, it must be. We are the unluckiest club in the whole universe I'm sure.
Its not a curse, its just the manager cant/wont rotate and runs the players into the ground until they break.
- Ange has poor squad depth.
- Ange's teams historically suffer significant injuries, which has come into full effect. There have to be questions asked around training principles and methods - there already are given Ange seems to delegate a lot of it to our piss-poor first-team coaching staff.
- Ange is reluctant to rotate his ever-changing first team with the limited options available, so more players become injured.
- Our medical team seems bodgy as fuck and is being replaced.
- Levy refuses to bolster the squad despite all of the above.
Need fewer than 10 outfield squad players to postpone a league match, currently on 11 if Johnson and Biss are out too (U21s don't count).
Davies
Richarlison
Dragusin
Son
Kulusevski
Maddison
Porro
Reguilon
Robson
Sarr
Spence

Dragusin

So would need 2 more injuries to get us to 9 to be postponed then
Nah, we never do such thing. We are the mighty and dignified Spurs.
2 of those 11. Losing u21s Bervall or Lankshear wouldn't change it. If say Reguilon and Spence were 'feeling unwell' this morning we could apply to postpone
Nope. They just need one player out with either a broken toe nail or covid.

Missing Solanke and Johnson as well now - all our experienced fit players in that squad with 11 starters and Richarlison on bench.
