    La Liga 23/24

    I think if there's a 10 in front of him he has no space to move into

    African Football

    Wondering if there are any fans interested in the African Club competitions? I usually follow Moroccan teams and they tend to do well. This years Confederations Cup has gone a bit weird when Algeria's USM Algers were due to play RS Berkane of Morocco but the Algerian authorities kept RSB at the...

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    I don't mind being in the Europa League but I do mind Villa getting UCL. I think that would be a huge windfall for them and will make them considerably stronger.

    I remember the same conversation being had under Conte. People saying he's finished, he's done. Turns out he was carrying an injury, he recovered and came back with a bang. Now after a season he's dropping form we're having the same conversation when clearly he's exhausted

    I know this is being picky but I don't like the way he floats long passes so high. If he's playing a longer pass he needs to play is flat and hard so as to capitalise on the switch or the early movement. The high arching ball doesn't help us because it gives the opposition a chance to stroll...

    How Tottenham could benefit if they fail to qualify for Champions League

    TLDR Champions league clubs don't drop in Europa League and therefore makes it easier to win and qualify for UCL

    Spurs Youth Thread 23/24

    1) Barca also play their youth in their B team which plays in the Spanish equivalent of League 1 so they get quick exposure to professional football. 2)They go through their entire development playing one way and learning one system so by the time they get to the first team it's an easier...

    Antonio Nusa

    I understand that but my thoughts are that we already have that player in Kulusevski. He can play #10 and winger if required, hell he could probably play an 8 too. If we assume Gio, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon and Gil leave in the summer and Werner is bought as a back up option that leaves us needing...

    Antonio Nusa

    Why is everyone suggesting number 10s that can play wide? That doesn't really seem the profile Ange uses in the winger role. The wingers need to stay high and wide and really stretch the play and when receiving the ball be able to beat and man and deliver to the right place. The problem with...

    Giorgi Sudakov

    If we're spending what he will cost for a position that is that far down the priority list then I'm worried. Before a playmaker I would hope we target a DMC, a Winger and a LWB. We currently have deki and Gio to play the 10 role to back up Maddison and a few youth prospects who can come in to...

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    Wasn't there talk of trying to increase the number of no football events from 15 a year up to 30. I believe one of the committments to getting that approved is showing how it would benefit the local economy of Tottenham and local businesses. So if you're building a hotel that is at full...

    Tottenham Hotspur bidding for Algeria ace Mohamed Amoura

    A player very similar to Werner in his profile. Fast with the ball, not a great finisher but can get in behind. Also very small so don't expect a power house wing forward which is what we should be looking for

    I'm sure if he tells the manager he'll be playing from the bench instead

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Exactly this. When we have Sarr in the team we play a different way to when Bentancur is there. Same thing when it's Richarlison or Kulusevski or even Royal and Davies and that's not even a quality thing, just a difference in style of play. The thing that is apparent to me is that Ange only...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    He doesn't say he's not going to change. He said he's not compromising on his philosophy. Exactly the same thing Klopp, Arteta and Guardiola have said in the past. But each of them tweaked it when it suited them. Do you think if we didn't sell Kane that we'd be playing the same way? Of course...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Sarr is even less defensively aware than Bissouma. I don't know who works in that role but I think it's the only way we adapt long term to this issue of getting exposed. To those thinking Ange won't adapt - you don't have a career of 20 years in football without learn you need to change from...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    For me a big improvement needs to be made in the 6 position defensively. Whilst Bissouma is good as press evasion in those specific situation where the ball goes over the top he's slow to close down the attacker or to spilt the CBs and make a three in the back line. If we are playing with...
