Manager Igor Tudor

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

There is a belief around Spurs that Venkatesham and Lange could face difficult questions internally if they are forced to admit they made an error regarding Tudor, or if they stick with him and the situation does not improve.


But pressure is growing on both Venkatesham and Lange over the appointment of Tudor and what happens next. That could place internal scrutiny on their positions.

Well, if there's a piece of good news there, it's that Lange and Vinai are being considered jointly responsible for the current competitive situation at the club.

You would not want to be in a situation where one of them survives with the other as the fall guy. Clean house, get rid.

Tottenham Hotspur owner to leave Tudor decision to club executives

Tottenham owner Enic does not plan to step in and take the decision over Igor Tudor's future out of the hands of the club's executive team despite the manager's poor start.

We are completely fucked.

Again, let Vinai and Lange sink or swim together.
 
Tottenham need a compact, counter-attacking setup against Liverpool, because Liverpool usually dominate possession and press aggressively. Spurs’ best chance is pace in transition and a solid back line.
Recent reports suggest Spurs may have defensive issues before the Liverpool game — Cristian Romero and João Palhinha could miss the match after a head clash, and the defence has already been stretched. �

Here’s the strongest realistic lineup Spurs should use vs Liverpool.
Tottenham best XI vs Liverpool (recommended)
Formation: 4-2-3-1
GK:
Guglielmo Vicario
Defence:
RB – Pedro Porro
CB – Cristian Romero
CB – Micky van de Ven
LB – Destiny Udogie
Midfield (double pivot):
João Palhinha
Pape Matar Sarr
Attacking midfield:
RW – Dejan Kulusevski
CAM – Xavi Simons
LW – Mohammed Kudus
Striker:
Dominic Solanke
Tottenham’s current squad includes players such as Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Sarr, Kulusevski, Kudus, and Solanke, who form the core of the 2025–26 team. �
Tottenham Hotspur
Why this lineup works vs Liverpool
1️⃣ Pace for counter-attacks
Kudus, Kulusevski and Simons can break quickly when Liverpool push their full-backs forward.
2️⃣ Physical midfield
Palhinha + Sarr can disrupt Liverpool’s midfield runners.
3️⃣ Fast centre-backs
Van de Ven’s recovery speed is key against quick forwards.
4️⃣ Solanke pressing
Solanke works hard off the ball and can press Liverpool’s defenders.
Impact substitutes Spurs should use
Richarlison – physical striker option
James Maddison – creativity if chasing the game
Archie Gray – energy in midfield
Wilson Odobert – pace late in the game
💡 My tactical tip vs Liverpool:
Sit deeper for the first 20 minutes.
Let Liverpool push up, then hit them with quick transitions through Kudus and Kulusevski.
✅ If you want, I can also show:
The lineup Spurs fans are demanding right now (very different).
**A tactical game plan to actually beat Liverpool.**

Not too sure if ChatGPT was such a wise idea, since it's selecting injured players, worth a go I suppose
