We're 7th, we are in the last 16 of the Champions League and the last 16 of the FA Cup. Chill out mate
2 points above Burnley , 4 points off 12th , 11 wins in 28 , on the ropes in the CL
Context is a wonderful thing mate
Who has genuinely played well consistently this season ?
That ball boy has been pretty decent
If he was an option I’d vote for him
The bad almost always outweighs the good with him unfortunately.
Just so erratic and unreliable.
The ball has been shit. Sure, he played a part in 1 goal , but what since then? We see him less than Ndombele....
Ballboy out!
Theres a myth that you can’t impact a game if you don’t score or assist
It’s just performance over result really though.
It’s like saying we should all be happy because have won lots of games, despite being rubbish for most of them.
No different to saying Aurier or Dele have been good because they’ve contributed to some goals.
And then there’s the real barrel scraper that Ndombele has been good because he passed the ball forward

sammyspurs
has his favourites. The worst thing fan can do. Don't be like sammy.He actually counted Dier's tackles against Wolves, laughable.
Funny thing is, nobody actually claims those things. Nearly everybody to a man acknowledges that Aurier and Alli are flawed and that being good at passing forwards hasn’t rendered NDombele’s performances good, just that if we can get him match sharp, that ability will be useful.
But there is some fool on here that keeps telling us Dier’s a brilliant midfielder because he’s managed to not get yanked off before half time a handful of times....
go figure...
Why shouldn’t I count them?

People count forward passes.
If he made no tackles I’m pretty sure it would be used.
And I don’t have favorites as I’m not 14
Dier needs replacing but right now he’s what we have.
Ive never said differently.
People like you are such a joke. How did it go with your own favorite Eriksen.
Took you a year but then you were all clamoring to get a seat on the Eriksen Out train beside me.
Kane should NEVER have been dropped in 5 years. How’s that panning out?
Now it’s gone from a trickle on Deles back to a fucking monsoon.
Soon you’ll all want Ndombele shipped off and you will realise that Sessengon is just Johnny Jackson (you had to be a fan then to know who he is)
But keep up the good work, it’s odd that we have so many brilliant players that even with Dier not on the pitch we are still shit.
Ironic.
Who said Dier was brilliant? No one
But I can dig up posts that claim Aurier is vastly superior to Tripper and Dele hasn’t been poor.
And that Ndombele played well because he passed the ball forward.
Complete bullshit and lies.
I don't have agenda. You like Dier. You don't like mew players. You didn't like Lo Celso either.
I don't turn back on our players and get constantly on them like you do.
Our entire team and season in a nutshell.
Fair point.
Sammy is such a fuckin boomer lol.
New signings = unknown scary possibly dangerous mysterious outsider
Year or so later he'll be loving them whilst hating on the new signings (assuming we don't go another summer without signing again).

Whoscored is good for stats especially on mins played, also their heat map's are great as you can drill down into individual players. I do not like their weighting metric, as far as I'm aware it's not based on the position of the player (except 'keepers), so a player that scores or assists will always come out with a high score (it's like fanboys and Corp clients giving Son or Kane MoTM because they tapped in a goal from 1yrd out despite playing shit all game, but they want his signature on their shirts so they can get more money for it when they flog them on eBay) having said that it will reward a player that has an influence on the game, so ignore the actual score of a player and just focus on who's in say the top 5 of players (both sides) there's a good chance their influence on the game is more or less appropriate.
I've heard that they will go to an xG model for next year, and also one weighted by position, which I think will even up the scores a tad, who knows.
So, Dele was really good, especially in the first half as he was heavily influenced in almost every one of our attacks, be that coming deep into midfield then making late runs or holding the ball up. His influence diminished in the 2nd half just as most Spurs players did, largely because Wolves did a better job in competing for the ball in midfield, and our players unable to respond or have a solution to this, not helped by the manger doing absolutely fuck all until the 80th min or so.
Apparenlty Poch should have won the title and numerous honours with Rose and Davies.
Am i wrong?
