Match Spurs vs Brighton, Sat 8 April, 3pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Problem with our fan base is, they’d be up in arms if we signed those players. Many on here didn’t want Trossard.


The coaching is the problem. Newcastle, Brighton, Villa don’t have a better squad than us, they’re just coached better.

It wouldn’t take much to sort us out into a decent outfit. I reckon it would take two weeks to retrain this lot into a 4231. Yesterday the players looked to be playing with a bad formation, lacking confidence and motivation. If we brought any competent manager in (eg. Poch) who is good at motivating a group and breeding togetherness then we would pick up performances and style very quickly.

I thought we’d win yesterday because I knew the fans would keep the players motivated.
 
Bullying is targeted and persistent. I personally wouldn't class name calling or insults as bullying. Especially in an environment that you can avoid. This isn't really life - you can actually avoid it here.

Free speech includes all forms of language, vulgar, aggressive or otherwise. This is the internet, it's not a civilised country. 😂

There are other forums were you can have what you are asking for. Expecting this one to change to be more to your liking isn't going to happen.

I'm able to have many discussions on here without being insulted; and on those occasions where *some* members are dickheads do you know what I do? I "ignore" them so I don't see their stupidity anymore.

You have many choices here to avoid the things you don't like. Which also includes fucking off.

Not everyone is going to like you. Not everyone is going to agree with you. And nobody is going to change because you don't like it.

Alter YOUR interactions, or YOUR expectations. You can only control YOUR own behaviour.

I'm not seeking to control anyones behaviour. But I will call out unreasonable treatment . There are guidelines on this forum for users. Maybe have a read ?

Who plays LB? Lenglet? Agree otherwise but LB is a massive issue

Lmao.

Put people on ignore. Use the foul button. Don't be a cunt. These are some top tips on how to "survive" this forum.

I'm trying to be helpful here but you aren't listening to any of it. This is why you are having so much difficulty. Take my advice, don't take my advice. The end result will still be that this forum is this forum.

Your enjoyment of it very much depends on your approach and ultimately, your personality. Since your approach seems to be narrow minded and antigonistic, and you only want to see things from your perspective, you will continue to have difficulty with the more volatile members of this board.

I'm sticking you on ignore now because you are pissing me off, quite frankly, so I'm using the forum features as intended so I don't see shit I don't want to see. I've got better things to do with my life. If you did the same, you wouldn't be so offended.
 
You said “the will flair football will come back”. Implying we have had it although not sure what timeframe you are referring to. It certainly ain’t gonna come back under this twat.

It's there already but we are shackled by injuries. Decent run by Hojbjerg and a nice weighted pass by Sonny to him. The pass from Hojbjerg was not square it was cut back quite sharply to avoid the defenders, intelligent and well executed.
We have some young players coming through which give different options and freshness. Gil, Sarr, Porro, Bentancur, Kulusevski, Richi, Danjuma, Devine, Mundle and more.
I think we will see more flair and energy in the near future. But we have to fight through this weird phase. The players seem up for it and behind Stellini.
Stellini is not the man to take us forward I know but good luck to him for now .
 
Hopefully Richi will be more ready and could start perhaps instead of Kulu ?
Who would you bring in ?
I’d play 3-5-2 and play deki in behind Kane and Danjuma. I’d also start Sarr for Skipp. Just a wee tweak to the formation and freshen it up will change it. Deki will be better from central playing more free rather than the wing. He’s doing too much work 60 yards from the opposition goal rather than 30 yards from their goal. By playing that formation he’d also go and play against the opposition’s deepest midfield player and then we don’t get outnumbered in there. It also gives the back 3 the option of missing our midfield 2 and going into him which then quickens up our play. Danjuma can stretch them and Kane can do what he does. I hate the 3-4-3. Too easy to play against,very one dimensional going forward and we don’t ask enough questions of opposition defenders
