Whao WTF!!! coming from you Berbatov??? no no no you silly man - I respected you as Spurs player but you cannot witha straight face say this

'All the time is the same, high expectations when the season starts everybody expecting they win something. At the end of the day, the end of the season they're around middle table'

You absolute BULLSHITTER from one of own 'legends players' buying into the Spursy narrative...

Good win, of course not vintage but honestly after the shit we've been through we were never going to play amazingly after a mere one week rest.
Like when you are in your forties, a late night or a broken sleep can't be fixed by one early night, we can't be fixed with just one week rest. The returning players also need time to get match sharp etc. We are in better squad shape now though so we should start getting stronger each week.

Happy to see Odobert back, he is exciting to watch..we missed his dribbling and unpredictability. Him and Tel may be able to build something. Having Solanke back will be huge as well. I think Solanke holding it up and slipping in Odobert and /or Tel could be dangerous. Madders looked pretty good and another goal, got to stay fit 🙏🏼
Vic made some very solid saves too.

Yes, good timing - haven't they got previous together with France age-group teams?
 
Spence motm.
Vic was incredible.
Madders was bright esp given first game back.
Bergvall good until he tired.
Benta, Sarr, Kulu all anonymous.
(Our midfield must be strengthened in the summer!)

Sonny minor flashes at most. Saddens me.
Tel a strange case - wasteful of opps, but consistently getting in dangerous areas. Hopeful.

Odebert showing our other wingers how to play.
Hope he gets a LOT more time next week.

And this team misses Solanke in a huge way.

Absolutely loved watching Berbs in his languid pomp for us, but a respected pundit he ain't. Very few of them display the capacity to think beyond regurgitated narratives.

Ange again showed he ain't fit for purpose. Taking Bergvall and Maddison off at the same time was a disaster. We were toothless. We were fortunate that even though we are Sh1t, United are Sh1ttier.

Why play Son of 85 min, most as a striker, with Scarlett on the Bench? Makes no sense to me.

He ain’t no believer in our academy youth. I’m sure Dane would have been just as effective up top as any of the ones out there.
 
So, Ange is willing to play a 17 yr old, 2 18 year olds, and a 19 year old, but is afraid to play our academy?

Or maybe the academy lads aren’t quite as good yet.

High hopes for Dane, but he had trouble getting time and producing on loans at lower levels.

We can and should concentrate on the EL, and should have been doing so for 3 months. We're not getting relegated, never were, and we're not going to finish anywhere in the league that matters.

EL has been the only thing that matters since December.

Not exactly sure what you mean concentrating 3 months ago on the EL. We only had two games left this Jan v farmers which we won. What more was there to concentrate on?
