The last thing I thought is going to happen after we appointed Jose: We look like a happy family.
That looks amazing. Meat with a carrying case must be exquisite
To quote someone on the spurs subreddit when discussing the pork.
"those pigs live better lives than all of us in here".
I cant quite believe how bloody good this kid is... he is the best left back I've seen at Spurs for a very long time indeed. Not sure what his ceiling is but he looks like a worldy in the making
Sorry danny

To me, he's already as good as rose at his prime. Rose at his prime was arguably the best lb in the premier league.
One of the best of even the next lb by his prime is not out of the question.

Check out Jose's new insta picSo much 'youngest son and dad' energy
And Lamela's insta story shows Reggie carving it like a pro, I bet it's one of his fav foods
So many questions and theories about this on the channels, even bringing it up in the press conferences. The big jamongate inquiry.
Tweet of the week.......
Me neither
So a back five, then...
Nor me
different framing same thing I suppose. I call it a back 3 as you have 3 CBs and the wingbacks are so forward their essentially more a part of the midfield. a back 5 is more congested for me, similar to how Chelsea faced us in the league cup final a few years ago with the full back stay back and 3 CBs (Zouma gave Kane a beating that day)
I fucking hate it either way you look at it.
Every time in the last five-odd years a manager has seriously worked with a back three / back five it has been the beginning of the end for them.
IMO its only place is when the team is suffering from midfield injuries, is going through a dangerous collapse in form and needs to try something else, or just a one-off tactical decision to play a counterattack.
Conte at Chavski was struggling until he went 3atb and subsequently won the league.
Poch went 3atb for us and both solved a scoring problem and resulted in us having our best league finish since 61.
Not a massive fan of it myself, but I'd certainly rather us play 343 or 352 than I would a poxy diamond.
