Player Rodrigo Bentancur

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

8 months is something else. I had two weeks from the gym due to illness and it took me 2 months to get back to where I was previously and that was 5 days a week training. How long to get match sharp after 8 months...
 
No doubt Levy and ENIC are to blame.

It does feel like a fcuking curse byt these things do happen.

It's up to Conte and the players to stsnd up now

No excuses..

If Bissouma, bentancur and lloris’s injuries happened 2 weeks ago we could have brought forward buying a keeper from the summer to now and also got someone in on loan like man u did with sabitzer and eriksen’s injury.

It’s just that kind of unluckiness that happens to us. It’s just frustrating.
 
We already paid for Bentancur.
I knew that...I was just testing your knowledge.:pochunimpressed:

In the context of how it will hurt our season its meaningful though .. we've not got to last the entire rest of said season with Hojbjerg who is good 1 week in 3 & a couple of kids.
Right. But not really sure it changes much except pissing in the cornflakes of those holding out hope of top 4 or something. Many of the realists won't be changing how they see the rest of the season going. Sad for the player though.
 
Benta is a great player not overrated on here neither is holjberg but continuing with a double pivot while the opposition overruns our midfield don’t make any sense at all. I like the 433 system where the defensive mid drops back into a back 3 when we lose the ball.

Yep, and that's this club and how something, be that a worldie season as in Leicester or Chelsea, or some unseen factor that always seems to be on our horizon.

The argument for making your own luck is a strong one but our bad luck at times puts into question any sense of statistical fairness.

I guarantee you that even if the injuries had happened earlier, neither of these things would have happened.
 
not good news if true, but we don't look good enough for top 4 so dropping down to 8th and missing all euro football has positives, we don't play 2 times each week, we don't need a big squad of highly paid players who don't turn up when they have to play teams they think are below them
we can run with 17 good players and rest yound lads who get playing time when/if we are winning games
 
Still cant believe the physios let him walk off the park.

Most players never return the same after a serious ACL injury. Such a shame on him ending his season early. He's been a revelation for us in the middle.
