The Spurs Thread

[Smoothy]

It's a shame.  I enjoyed seeing him delete his Gooner posts as soon as he joined, but it's a shame he went out with barely a whimper.  Still... once a Gooner... 😉

[redbloodcell]

Tbf I want to forget about Ndombele and Lo Celso too...

 

Im all seriousness I wonder if someone mixed up the particulars of the Udogie deal when it came to loans, thinking he was joining in the summer when he's actually on loan right now. 

[Jammy]

Conte hospitalised to have gall bladder removed.

[meatbin]

That guy has had a rough 6 months or so.

[Jammy]

Yeah - maybe partially explains why he’s been quite subdued of late if he’s been feeling that grotty, along with three of his best mates dying.

[Stoppy2000]

Emerson Royal still gets to start. Wtf. 

[SaintAnselm]

I wish PEH would fuck off too tbh, and his constant presence in the starting is one of the reasons why we are so shite to watch.

[Jammy]

He did set up Kane’s goal though, and Royal is having a reasonably decent game so far. But on the whole

I agree. 

[Stoppy2000]

Be nice to see Porro though. Also Son has been useless again. A complete passenger.

Having to eat my words here. Royal probably had his best game for spurs. Loved him winding up Grealish. PEH was also really good. Even Hugo didn't do anything daft. 

[Jammy]

Stellini has a 100% record as head coach

[Shimmyhill]

Looking at the fixtures and short of Leicester it could have been a 0 point month with current form.

 

Still, we dropped points against City this season - just not good enough!

[Jammy]

Now that he’s got the all-time scoring record, I wouldn’t be surprised if Kane went this summer. And I also wouldn’t be surprised if Pep came in for him again and he bins off Haaland. They got him on the cheap because of his release clause and would make a bundle, and although he’s scored a lot of goals they don’t look as cohesive as they did without a centre forward, and when he has a quiet game they don’t look like they know quite what to do.

[Jammy]

So, is Forster better than Lloris ?

[Stoppy2000]

Apparently we were awful again. This season is basically just a zombie season. We all know the manager is going. Just shambling along now until the inevitable. 

[Shimmyhill]

Same old issue, we have no depth - the side on paper looked shite and guess what…. I can’t think of a worse defence line up in the past decade so its no wonder we got swatted by relegation fodder.

[Stoppy2000]

Milan should be fun though....

[meatbin]

We looked good against City... With no Conte! 🧐

lol

[Stoppy2000]

Bentancur out for 6-7 months. Bissouma out for an unknown amount of time. A manager who wants to leave. Son being completely shit. 

We are fucked. 

[redbloodcell]

It's pretty obvious at this point that major surgery is needed again, much like post-Redknapp except with Mourinho & Conte in place of AVB. Funny that we're most likely getting the same guy back to do this one too.

Yep. The big question is will spurs ever get a transfer fee for any of their outgoing players ever again? 

If poch returns he'll likely have lo celso, winks, reguillon and ndombele back at the club. It's like an episode of the Twilight Zone. 

Fuck it - let's get Dele back as well. 

 

 

[Stoppy2000]

Not been too bad so far tonight. Still lack any sort of killer pass. Son still been shite. Sarr looks good though. 

[Stoppy2000]

Son needs to be dropped. He is constantly losing the ball. 

[meatbin]

I'm done with Conte's 523.  It's so so so boring, we've not had any decent chances.  No way we're beating them at home.  It's the first ever CL game I've watched it on a second screen while doing something else.

 

Sarr is great, he's hopefully a key to a better team over the next few years.

[Stoppy2000]

Not a single chance all game. This with Harry Kane up front.

He's absolutely wasted on us - completely wrong formation and build-up play.   If Conte is going at the end of the season, then based on the last two games (remember the Man City game he was not there) I think it's time to cut our losses and try and to rescue the season - Conte ain't getting top 4 or further in the CL.

 

Conte's had a horrific few months personally, let him go back to Italy and spend time with his family.

It's a zombie club now. We all know Conte is leaving. Players never work when they know the manager is off. It's a fact. Especially when it's a manager who is always angry. He needs to fuck off tomorrow and let anyone else have a go. And change this formation when we don't have the players for it. 

[Stoppy2000]

Rio Ferdinand said its ok cos Bentancur will be back for the home leg. What a fucking clown. 

[redbloodcell]

The funny thing about this game is that all of the prematch was about the young midfield, who were then the only part of the pitch that got out of the game with positive credit. Sarr looks properly good, big prospect. Skipp less rusty and fitter. 

 

Actually no, Forster was better too. Hopefully he's just shaking off some rustiness as well. I guess Richy wasn't awful either, he really should be starting over Son.
