Also, when you get a reputation for paying ‘whatever it takes’ you end up like United - fleeced for everyone and paying £85m for Antony. Drawing a line in the sand is about far more than this one transfer fee.
100%. It took a while for fans of other teams to realise what he was bringing at spurs. Because he wasn’t a goals/assists/highlights player.
He made the whole team tick, we saw that before others did. Everyone knows just how good he is now, but it wasn’t always like that.
I, on the other hand, gotta feeling that tonight’s when Chelsea show everyone they haven’t become a terrible team overnight, and we show everyone that the dream start has to end somewhere 😬
100%. I think ETH has misread this so badly it’s almost comical. If anything these things are surely good for team morale at times like this? ETH looks like he’s trying to lose the dressing room!
Should he have locked himself in the bathroom crying? Done a 6 hour Rocky-style workout on the...
Best one for me. Forums can often be an echo chamber, interesting to see what other fans are saying (yes, turn on your scouse-lunatic-filter before reading)

But the next 6 games (Chelsea, Wolves, Villa, City, West...
It may buried somewhere in this thread, but have we had any solid info/ITK that confirms he was one of Ange’s top targets? Have seen conflicting reports.
Sanchez taking a pen means that he stepped up more than 6 others did. And leaving that aside, penalties is always a lottery.
We could easily have won that game in normal time with our first team. And the gutting thing is there wasn’t even an advantage to be had in playing a second team.
Hey @GNev2 - just reflecting on your comments re Postecoglou and his tactics. Particularly about him emulating Guardiola; though without looking I’m certain others will have already moved to illustrate that Ange was applying this tactic at Yokahoma back in 2019…
