Somewhat less relevant to the thrust of the thread, but true nonetheless I suppose.I don't mean to be pedantic, but I think you should have used an em dash rather than a hyphen here.![]()
Agreed.
the podcast is awful too.
For one, it's 2 fucking hours long but it's so basic, such poor analysis in general.
there's also something so annoying about Ricky's voice.
give me TFC & The Extra inch any day.
As long as its not fucking that oozing fool jabbering away like a stutterer on amphetamines know what I mean blud fam blud innit Spurs Yids bredren bomboclat innit.Can't believe RIcky Sacks is the face of Spurs supporters.... AFTV levels of cringe
The own goal counts as 0.00 xG and if it’s not played for an Og than son has a tap in at probably 0.70 xG minimum so we really created more than that number.This can be true.
But was not case yesterday.
Yesterday ball was moved to CM with ease... and it never travelled past CM position.
West Ham kept backing off, backing off knowing fully well that our CM does not possess any goal threat and very little chance creation as well. And this is how they kept us on xG of 0,72.
Yesterday more creative and dynamic passer in the middle would have done world of difference.
christ okay,You know what’s even more annoying than him ?
Grown men who say ‘it’s so basic’
Son had lwb sewn up. Now look at Richarlison.but hang on,
1, we bought a RWB and now we have 3 of them. much as would have loved to spend 70M on Hakami he was never coming and we prob couldn't get rid of Emerson or Royal.
2. We were never gonna buy a creative mid, Conte doesn't play like that. a winger, yeah, maybe but who? they'd need to be (a) better than Lucas and (b) willing to rotate, (c) not cost an insane amount of money - because it's a squad dept position, Kulusevski has that position sewn up.
Was told at 1 pm today. No incomings. Usual source- ex-employee. Even Hercules is right half as often as a broken clock.I don't mean to be pedantic, but it isn't over - not for several hours yet.
I agree with you about wanting a AM who could go wide if necessary. Spurs seem to have a number of good midfielders with similar attributes. For example, Bissouma seems like a better replacement for Hojbjerg than a compliment to him. If I were deciding on a midfielder to bring in I'd want someone more like Eriksen, but there aren't so many of those type players available at an affordable price. If there's a weak point to what's been done so far it's mainly that they haven't moved enough players (in terms of return) to be able to afford the sort of midfielder they need to bring in.He's part of the group of 4 CMs and I think that'll be enough. Plus Sarr as a backup. (Sarr is bound to get loaned out in January)
I would've liked a new AM that is able to drop back into CM if needed, and good enough to play wide too. Someone like Eriksen.
Unfortunately he's a very good player, got bad injury a while back. Saw him live about 5 years ago and he stood out.
We have depth, options and a dozen of those under 26. We are in a far better position than many realise and have more than enough to challenge for top 3 or 4 in the league, to push for a cup and to have a great Champions League run. From this time a year ago I doubt there is anyone that wouldn't be delighted with that being the case.
1st window seems done. Get behind the boys, the gaffer said 2 more windows required so let's focus on each game at a time and knowing we have more genuine depth than most teams in the league do in a season where depth will be crucial.
you have to wonder though why are Juve agreeing to loan him out, then again as I type, I think of Kulusevski and Bentancur so maybe disregard.Unfortunately he's a very good player, got bad injury a while back. Saw him live about 5 years ago and he stood out.
Let's hope the injury's wrecked him tbh!
