Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

If you take Gray and Dragusin out of that starting lineup and add Micky and Romero, you basically have an Ange starting outfield lineup. A starting eleven that Ange has in fact started.

The end of the day the injury list excuse has to go away.
The injuries have absolutely been an issue, but they’ve diverted attention away from a lot of issues that have been evident since Xmas of last season.

1) We don’t have a balanced MF trio and we have no DCM. Ange HAS to give Gray a go there when the CBs are back but we also need to be scouring the market for someone in that role. At the moment I’d argue Gray, Bergvall and Maddison feels like the best trio we have.

2) Our wide forwards are shocking. Utterly terrible. I can’t even bring myself to hope for a better future with Johnson now he frustrates me that much, and Son’s performances are taking the shine off an exceptional career with us. He has to be the weakest physical player in the PL and so much of what we do breaks down when he has the ball.

We could have Maldini and Baresi CB and it won’t change the fact that the 2 issues above are killers for us and have been for over 12 months now.
 
I really think in terms of the state that they were in, this was our best chance for a while, and for the forseeable to go there and beat them.

They don't have as many injuries as was being made out.. But they were missing their best, or equal best player.. And they're having a little crisis of confidence and don't really know what they are at the minute. Look how they were in the second half.. Against most teams that aproach from them leads to them conceding a couple clear cut chances and hurts them..

That makes it more sickening than normal.
 
They're resorting to patronising us now...

They've won, not just tonight, but the rivalry...
They came over the river, and created a non existent rivalry that never should've been...

Now they've got what they wanted.
Supreme dominance of North London... and we just waved the Lilywhite hanky, and left it happen...

North London is DEAD!
Thank You Mr Levy. We are now.officially below West Ham and Level with Palace. Let that Sink In
