Agreed. Merson is a good barometer of whether our manager is upto scratch or not. Give him a chance means useless. The other one when under poch he said I worry about Tottenham. Meant basically we were doing well.

Can't be bothered
Next excuse will be that it takes time for the returning players to get fully going
And then it will be something like the returning players have disrupted our flow or some similar bullshit
Saw iraola press conference earlier. Journalist asked him about the number of injuries hes had. Hes just go on with it and got results. If he beats liverpool tomorrow his stock has risen even more imo.
Fair point.
You've obviously have a very poor memory
Yeah because they’re not playing every 3 days.
Ange was the same last year when he had to field 4 full backs in a back 4 at City away.
Easy to be cool as a cucumber when you’re playing 1 game a week.
I’d like to see Iraola wave the injury issue away if he was in Ange’s seat this season.
Completely different situation.
If you’re playing one game a week you can make do with 11-12 players. We’ve been playing every three days for two to three months.
Not if you’re called Tottenham Hotspur with Ange Postecoglou as the manager.
Or were you asleep for the whole of last season??
We finished 5th. That was better than most anticipated when we sold Kane, so not sure what you’re talking about.
I did. And this is as bad.
Your ridiculous claim you can make do with 11 or 12 players.
It’s like you slept from the Chelsea game onwards.
I mean, Leicester and Conte’s Chelsea won titles playing 13-14 players playing once a week.
After Knocking on Heaven’s Door
Same here!
Do you think the game has moved on in ten years?
How many players do you think they both used overall?
We won the double using 1 sub. How many players do you think we used that season? Playing considerably more league games too.
Imo it's more possession based as everyone is trying to copy pep. Do think skill has gone out the game.
Well in this country at academy level athleticism trumps everything. Moving the ball quicker and being able to cover more ground is the current meta.
If you’ve got blistering pace and decent physicality that will put a foot in a door.
Not sure if we will see a change again though. Technical skills are still much more appreciated in Spain for example.
Premier league is just a super physical league.
