I'm up to 90 seconds, so I'll keep practising.

I think it's the stadium, some of these players are intimidated, they see a huge world class stadium and they know it's the sort of venue that Real Madrid or other big successful clubs would suit. When Kane and Son were playing together, they suited the stadium and gave the other players a sense of belonging, as did Mourinho and Conte. There isn't anyone world class at Spurs now, Then on top of that opposition teams are like who the fuck do Spurs think they are, and want to take us down a peg or 2 because we have nobody deserving of such a stadium. We've made ourselves a tempting scalp, and a relatively easy one to take.

I reckon if players from other teams were asked which teams they'd prefer to play against away from home, our team would be high up on the list.

We're going to have the same problem if we end up in the Championship because those teams are even more wanting to take our scalp. It will be a nice victory for them to remember for the rest of the season.

You may well be right .

We should probably ask to do a swap with Haringey Borough ; at least until the end of this season.
 
A dinner will not improve their football IQ. You can imagine robbie Keane for example telling the wingers - get it in this pocket and I'll do the rest. The wingers then are like a terrier chasing after a rat to get the ball in there. None of them are communicating their abilities to eachother so they are like a load of spare ones at a wedding

It's not the IQ, it's technical ability, of which we have none.

Hiring a manager that needs highly technical players for his football to work, and having none to give him was another excellent choice from the brain trust up stairs.
 
It isn't IQ? Thanks for the correction we have a bunch of geniuses in the team but they can't play football.
There are for sure some whoppers in the team, yes. But the fact we have no technical players in the squad makes it impossible to play football. You can be as smart as anything, but if you can't pass, or be comfortable on the ball, you can't play highly technical, fast football.
