Player James Maddison

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We need to find another solution because putting Kilu there is suicide

If Solanke is fit, two up top imo with either him or Ricky dropping deep when out of possession
Just us our FBs as the creativity by whipping balls into the box. Play back 3 of VDV Romero Spence, enough pace there and skill to handle everything and then play destiny and Porro WBs. Play two up top any from Richi, dom or tell and 3 in midfield. Alternatively play Porro right wing with Spence rb.
 
How very sad, for him, for the club and for us, if it's a season-ending injury. His presence changes the atmosphere, the crowd love him and he loves the fans. His coolness in front of goal can be a game-changer and his passing is often incisive. I'm well fed up about this news. He's a massive asset to the team.
Yet some still think his flaky and not good enough. By miles our most creative player it’s not even a competition. Without him we lose all flair and unfortunately our wide players and kulu just don’t fill the gap.
 
Ange would never risk it but Mikey Moore has flair and has played as attacking central midfielder in the youth teams , always been played wide on his first team appearances , one day would like to see him played more central.
On the bringing back loan players I think the rule is they don't qualify to play for Spurs again until the next transfer window opens.

Moore or Odobert.

Both have the ability to keep the ball under pressure in tight spaces and go past players with a drop of the shoulder. Pretty sure Odobert played 10 in his last season at Burnley

I don’t think anyone has said he isn’t good enough it’s just the fact he spends a third of the season on his current form where he makes us tick then he spends a third of the season injured and the reminder out of form.
It’s a shame as when he is playing well , we play well.
Next season we need to be looking at a creative player that isn’t so injury prone , as much as I like Maddison he just can’t be relied upon ,
Same as Richie

...and also Romero...great ion his day, or when he can be arsed... But again, He's regularly "injured"!! 🙄
 
We aren't cursed. We sign players with poor injury records like Maddison. Our training is ridiculous, as is our medical staff. Our clown of a manager is responsible for a lot of them injuries we've had them past two years. Bad luck is at the bottom of the list.
For over a year having spoken to professionals and someone I know who works on the periphery of the club, I have believed poor and minimal use of tactical periodisation has been at the base of some of our fitness and inury issues. Now I am sure it is. When the clown goes we need to get real experience in throughout the club. Our deficits tactical medical and sports science are bigger than the fat controller himself.

Stop being silly.

Moore or Odobert? Neither is starting and one absolutely is nowhere near being ready at any competent level.

Sometimes I just wonder. Other times I am sure.

To start with, it must be experience. Not even a question.
