    Timo Werner

    I actually think it was way more than 2 points lost. Spurs more than most should know that there is a difference between competing and winning. Arsenal went to City and admitted they couldn't stand toe to toe, that their best bet was to play how a midtable team would. Pragmatic view, gained...

    Aston Villa

    Our numbers this year are still above €500M (stadium at full use, commercials, etc.) with no CL But even €200M/yr is a problem gap, because you have to look at it over a 3-5 year period, basically we can outspend teams by €1B (probably cost of City's current squad) over that time period without...

    Aston Villa

    I don't either, but it highlights the point, if Brighton (who was the last big "threat" to established teams) can't make up €12M/year disadvantage, is Villa going to make up €300M/yr?

    Aston Villa

    Yep, they will try to figure a route around it and CL money will help. But as said, Leicester did this, had CL and maybe it works for a few years, long term is a issue. Here is the math (using 2023 numbers) Spurs - €520M+/yr West Ham - €300M+/yr Leicester - €250M+/yr Villa - €210M+/yr Brighton...

    Ange’s system / formation

    Yes, teams fear us (which is very interesting acknowledgement that hasn't happened for some time) - There are three clear tactics, sit deeper out of possession (to close space behind, potentially going 5 at the back), go man to man marking to negate the movement that our system provides, and...

    Aston Villa

    Yep, might be ok, but unlikely to be able to double down on more investment .. and we know, if you don't move forward each year, you go backward

    Aston Villa

    Problem is they are already on the edge of PSR/FPP (actually over) This is the issue for the Everton's/Villas/Saudi Sportswashing Machine's/Leicester's/Forest - Everyone knows you need money to compete - Even if you have owners to put money in, it has to be sustained and has to sit in the rules - And then you...

    Champions League 23/24

    He's done well for Bayern in general and keeping other CB's that most people would rate higher out of the side. Fit to system, fit to league, change of scenery, whatever it is, good for him .. Re the Scum ... hahahaha, oh it must fudging burn to be kicked out by two Spurs players ..

    Dele interview

    I think he's always was a bit of a luxury player, very effective but the team has to be able to "carry" him for parts of a game (yes, I know he works hard but it's more game contribution) He's going to struggle in a league that emphasizes work rate and has tons of 6/10 players every game...

    ***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Saudi Sportswashing Machine OMT***

    If you want an interesting option - Play VDV as LB (Udogie has been overplayed, isn't at his best either and doesn't sync well with Werner) - Put Romero and Dragusin in as CB's

    James Maddison

    GLC isn't the long term answer but on current form he's the better player, his tempo is better, his aggressiveness is better, he deserves a start over this version of Maddison Similar to PEH, you have a squad for exactly this purpose, play players on form, and create the standard that if you...

    ***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Saudi Sportswashing Machine OMT***

    I think it's a challenge for Ange - For me PEH has earned a start, GLC has also done enough (and vastly improves the tempo vs. Maddison on his current form) - I'd argue I would have been tempted to pull VDV for Dragusin on the day (balance of Saudi Sportswashing Machine had pace up front, VDV was having bad day...

    Ange’s system / formation

    Yep, but that's why the details matter - More clinical in front of goal, with our chances (could mean more clinal striker, runs/tactics or team broadly contributing more) - The mix of midfield working (so much here, better cover for back line, faster movement of ball, less turnover, etc) We...

    ***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Saudi Sportswashing Machine OMT***

    First season of new system, been unlucky with injuries and that has led to players struggling to come back and find their early season form. Additionally so many of our players are under 23/24 with first real season in PL, to expect perfect consistency is unrealistic. Main thing is Ange needs...

    Two players from Spurs history that would make us champions

    I'd say because you only have two choices Modric would control the midfield, that would take a lot of pressure off the defense, Kane would score the goals from all the chances we create. King, Bale, Walker, Hoddle, Eriksen all could make a huge impact but you have to pick. p.s. I agree...

    Bundesliga Bonestroker Thread

    Agree with the thought process, I do think they brick the bed (3 or 4 terrible results along with that general decline), it was enough to leave the door open (like last season) Again, we will see, success is hard, repeating success is even harder

    Bundesliga Bonestroker Thread

    Will be interesting to see over next year or two It certainly looks so right now, but two things come to mind, they really only had one competitor in the league who brick the bed completely, and secondly, a certain Ranieri comes to mind .. plenty of one offs in sport.

    ***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Saudi Sportswashing Machine OMT***

    It simply allows them to not have to worry about less of ball/possession and makes the counter tactic even more relevant. Howe's sides are always about outworking the opponent, which is why they have huge ups and downs (separate conversation) The issue for me is we are carrying too many out of...
