***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Bournemouth OMT***

Interesting that Sarr (I feel) showed some inexperience, understandably, in the second half. Got a bit clumsy after a couple of poor touches, but he’ll learn, he’s so young.

Good that we have experienced heads to come in for him, and when Bentancur is back that will be a nice headache for Ange.
 
Why is man, when refering to one, uninclusive?

In the case I was referring to, it wasn't a specific individual, its the name of an award handed out to one player in each PL game, both in the EPL and the WPL, and many other sports, where I believe they have moved to person/player already.

In any case, we don't know how any player chooses to identify. Why assume?
 
Let's hope they avoid injuries from fatigue...seems like certain players are very overused in the last three games

3 Games in?

"And we are Hot-take Tottenham"

he's had a bad 15 mins in three games, think its OTT the top myself, I'm more worried about Son and Kulu

His touch has been very poor and he isn’t finding the right positions. A goal or two could change everything though.
 
One think I don't like are these double subs...

Perisic for Sarr
Hojbjerg for Richalison

Skipp for Maddison
Lo Celso for Bissouma.

Should have been Perisic for Richalison, Hojbjerg for Sarr, Skipp for Bissouma and Lo Celso for Maddison...

Small issue, but one that is bugging me.
Really? That's your beef?
 
In the case I was referring too, it wasn't a specific individual, its the name of an award handed out to one player in each PL game, both in the EPL and the WPL.

In any case, we don't know how any player chooses to identify. Why assume?

In the case you was referring to you was arguing player was more inclusive (than man)
 
It’s interesting, and I can understand your point of view.

It’s not needed - for you, but what if it makes someone else who has previously been or felt excluded (by omission rather than by anything nefarious or deliberate) feel more included?

That can only be a good thing I think, and I don’t think anyone can really credibly argue that it negatively affects their own enjoyment of the game.

We’ve only got to look at what’s happening in Spain at the moment to understand that covert and overt misogyny is still very, very close to the surface and will burst through at the slightest invitation.
Now, I'm pretty old school and think a lot of the "woke" (GHod I hate that word) actions are pretty unnecessary and even at times defies it's intended purpose, and see myself as a supporter of a few old fashion gender roles (I mean, gentlewoman? Gentleperson? Fireperson?), but this I can get behind. Honestly, I didn't even notice that it's "player" and not "man", and as someone said - it costs nothing and takes nothing away from the award. We don't call it "man of the year" either, do we?
 
I wonder how many of these players will get a game against Fulham in the Cup? Does anyone know if Ange tinkered much at Celtic or was he a 'keep a winning side' kind of Manager?

Ange did say in the pre match interview that he would change things around because we have 3 games this week
 
His touch has been very poor and he isn’t finding the right positions. A goal or two could change everything though.

at times today his touch was poor yes, but his running is making so much space for others and stopping the opposition from playing out, forwards are responsible for more than goals
 
Who is this bunch of players/team we're seeing ?

Absolutely fantastic to a man
Love a manager who makes pro-active subs to change a game too

I'm loving Big Ange instead !!
It’s whole new team from last season though
In reality we have one CB from last season
A whole new midfield
And the attack is 2/3 of last season

I think he looks an exceptional talent who is going to learn on the job, but I don't see that as a downside (not saying you do BTW).

I don't see the vast difference in us blooding him in and paying 100m plus for Rice or Caicedo, for me the margins are small for a player like that IMO.

Im sure I will take some heat for that comment but honestly, he has all the ability and tools there
 
How/to who? Who is excluded by calling someone man of the match in mens football?

Idgaf personally as player of the match/man of the match as a title for an award is interchangeable but i just find the argument that one is more inclusive than the other a bit weak

What if the person who wins the award doesn't actually identify as a man?

I can see how that lessens the award to them.
 
Just one real worry for me...Richarlison. I think he has no first touch, more pressing is the fact that he is a weakling mentally. His head dropped real fast and his attitude led to a bit of a crisis in the team and we seemed to drop our bundle a little bit. Ange could see and answered my prayers my dragging him. He is not the answer I'm afraid.

Don't think it's fair to say his wobble led to the crisis, everyone came out sluggish in the 2nd half. IMO Hojberg was the remedy for that, not sulking about not starting but instead managing to steady the ship, gotta love it.

As for Richy, he looked good in the first half and was involved in build up play and was unlucky in the chance he was crowded out of with a potential handball.

It was an unfortunate stumble followed by him ending a counter but a "weakling" mentally is super harsh, I'd go as far to say that that is a flimflam call. He will keep on trying and that's a massive strength, nobody is expecting 30 goals a season but he still played his part in a solid away win today.
