Match Tottenham v AZ Alkmaar Home Thursday 13th March 2025 8pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Fuck it. I’m starting the Brighton thread.

Excited Aww GIF
 
Spurs have players that are miles ahead of any player at AZ. If the players are serious about this comp, they'll find way.

IF the manager is going on with nonsensical crap before and during the match. Ignore him. You would probably be doing him a favour.

The alternative is probably being involved with the team that goes out in shame. When your one goal up at the end of normal and Ange is screaming play. Play. Jump on the fucking ground like you have just been shot.

Call the new system the anti Ange. Whatever he says about the game, do the opposite.
 
There are some players that I really don’t want to see:

Udogie - can’t defend
Son - doesn’t fight and looks awkward in possession, sadly a liability
Tel - not seen enough albeit he’s clearly not a 9 at the moment
Porro - lovely technique but my god the gaps he leaves

Something like this and excuse formatting

Vicario
Spence, danso, Gray, VDV
Romero
Bissouma Bergv
Johnson Scarlett Maddison

The combination of Son and Johnson has always been awful. If Son has to play, Johnson can’t. Romero in MF is wild but we can’t continue with putting an 8 as 6. Go back 3 if we have to

if the senior players think Ange is wrong
the senior players could rebel and sort ths mess out
if Ange doesn't go on the training pitch the players could decide how to play the game
then no matter what team Ange picks, the senior players pck go on to the pitch and play ther way
 
No excuses. Ange has to put out his best side from minute one for this one. Problem is after 2 years he probably still doesn’t know who his best side is!
 
Remaining PL games are worthless so i get why this thread has been started already.

Can't see us going through. We lost first match because they were much better, and they clearly had good tactical plan how to nullify us.

I have zero faith coaching stuff with Ange are capable of finding tweaks to handle AZ better.

Only chances are 1. Some lucky goal for us 2. AZ losing their legs completely in second half

If 'sort this mess out' causes us a trophy they're fukkin pathetic kids who should be sold as they don't deserve to play for this club simply put.

I have to keep explaining this but I'll go over it again - Football Clubs are in part Stake Holder run by the Fans - we pay, in part, for the tickets, merch & all things Spurs - yes it's a small amount but these players fukkin owe the fans at least a good performance. I don't give two shits if they don't like their Mananger/Owner/Coach they need to suck it the fukk up, be professional & get out there & EARN the money they're being paid.

I hope we play some absolutely dreadful football but win by a fluke own goal in the 90th minute. Just enough for Levy to realise how rubbish our coaching team is but enough to get 3 points.
 
Vicario
Porro Danso Van De Ven Spence
Bergvall Gray Maddison
Odobert Solanke Moore

We need players with hunger, character and quality on the ball. I don’t want to see anyone who can’t trap a ball, play a pass or beat a man.
 
I hope we go through.

If we don’t it has to be the end for this cunt, who seemingly now is blaming the fans.

Injuries, decisions, pitches and now fans.

Never him.
