And Real Madrid relying on 17 year old Yamal is a nonsense too
Maybe time you grew up ?
Tamworth in a few weeks. Hope we dont go easy on that. Would be funny if we won 20 nil.
I think the ones you deem as some of the best LB performances you can remember in a Spurs shirt are massive overreactions.
Kid's been really at it what? 1 game out 5 since he's joined? And I'm being generous.
I've zero respect for a guy who doesn't give 100% week in week out, who doesn't track back or just jogs a bit, who shies away from challenges...especially when he's built like that kid. He's a friggin 22yo pro footballer with the best training facilities and everything. Trains 2 hours a day, not even every day. Plays 2 games a week plus the odd one for his country. That "he's overplayed" makes me laugh...kid was already lazy last year after Ange's honeymoon period aka the best 10 game run in the history of football.
Where was Regulion? As we were comfortable he should have been on t
He bench rather than 1 of the kids and brought on instead of Porro who needed the rest.
Sorry to hear that. I did actually find him quite likable. Hope he finds his feet somewhere else.
Yup, Djed got his chance and stepped up. I watched Ange's post game ITW on the spurs twitter and he almost looked emotional talking about the players stepping up when he needed them to. Djed was one of those that had his back tonight. I doubt Ange will be looking for reasons not to play him from now.
Never seen him shy away from a tackle once.
That didn’t take long.
Barca but exactly
5-0 is definitely an outsized result but no one should get carried away pumping a surefire relegation team.
These idiots will never learn. Yes you have a style of play but you need to adapt to your opposition as they dont have the quality that other teams have.
Adapting won't keep Southampton up. May as well go down swinging.
Yamal plays for Barca, so yeah Real relying on him is nonsense.
Did I say we shouldn't play kids? Nope. I said we should've elite, experienced talents/winners to start most games, cause you know apparently we are serious about challenging. Said that the likes of Mikey & Odo should be deputies ie getting minutes here & there in the mighty PL + bigger share in domestic cups & Europe.
Them kids need to develop before being thrown into the lion's den. Yamal is an alien, as was Mbappe...and look at who they got round them as teens. Not Timo Werner, not Brennan Johnson, not Bissouma. Also, how many kids have crashed & burnt after being exposed too soon?
Not sure of the rules but we need homegrown and if Moore goes on loan does that mean he is not counted as homegrown? Yang is different but apart from Kane &Skipp. who else really did well on loan to get a starting place when they came back.
Yes losing 5-0 is swinging.
I'm waiting for Yang to arrive and see what Ange makes of him in training before making any judgements as to whether he stays at Spurs until summer or goes on loan , particularly as he's moved to UK from South Korea which will be a major cultural change and might suggest he's better staying at Spurs until summer.
He's played a full season in South Korean league, which is on same level as say Swedish league, so might be of a similar standard to Bergvall at the start of the season - but who knows until he starts training at Spurs
At this point I’m down just to help fill out the squad. We need bodies.
I know you consider yourself a proper football guy; but you don't half talk some bollocks.
- We're not "reliant" upon Moore.
- Odobert IS a back-up player for us this season (or at least would be if he didn't get injured).
- Burnley? Who gives a fuck where he was signed from...... Hipsters like you would be far more impressed no doubt if he came from a mid-table club from the Peru instead
- No-one below 24 should be starting games?
All the above gems from the same guy that's trashing Ange game after game despite claiming that tactics aren't important.
I played in a team, when I was a youngster, that went unbeaten for just over 2 seasons in all competitions. Then we lost our first game and went on a 5 game losing streak. Teams we'd smashed in previous seasons were turning us over until we got our mojo back.
It's amazing just how hard that first loss hits you when you're not used to it.
City have had losing spells before, but their home form was also something they could rely on. Not only did we destroy them, we did it on their own patch. That has absolutely smashed them mentally. There's no assurance in the way they play, they're hesitant, pedestrian and playing like a bunch of strangers.
It's all about their mentality at the moment, it's now in the basement.
