    Pedro Porro

    How good would Spence, or anyone, look having more or less played 90 minutes twice a week for a couple of months with a disjointed team around them? I rate Spence very highly and he offers a lot of quality. In terms of quality passing, long passing and crossing Porro is a stand out in this...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    Yes. Get a manager in that fits the overall structure and approach well enough, then adjust somewhat to where the entire club has the required structure in place around the manager. Still think Ange is a good fit...

    Cristian Romero

    The same Romero who seemingly played with an injury/niggle earlier this season? The same Romero who was in the starting lineup against Chelsea even though he probably wasn't fully fit? The same Romero who always leaves everything in every duel on the pitch?

    Cristian Romero

    Hope we manage to sign him to a longer contract. If not we probably have to listen to any good offer come the summer. Hope he's also ready to play again soon.

    Son Heung-Min

    Start at most a game a week. With a plan to most likely sub him. Other than than use him as a sub. Exhausted Son is not much better than Werner, and hopefully soon we'll have more options for that left wing role available.

    Injuries

    Human beings are much better at seeing patterns in what is random/luck than recognising randomness as randomness. Investigating it properly and making sure they make good decisions seems like the right thing to do.

    Ange departs

    If that was the case he would have been gone even before this injury crisis.

    Ange departs

    I fully agree that this level of injury problems isn't going to be sustainable. Is it's all or mostly on Ange he either has to change how he does things significantly or be out the door. Is it's mostly on other issues within the club that needs to change. If it's mostly bad luck we just have to...

    Ange departs

    As I said in my post if the current injury crisis is partly down to Ange, his approach and system then it's also partly due to other factors. Of course one factor is just that injuries will happen no matter what. But if other factors are things such as luck, how the medical staff operates in...

    Ange departs

    A couple of games now with full weeks of recovery and training between them. I want Ange to drill the team on ideal Angeball now. No more adjustments or pragmatism. Press high, play ambitious, invert the full backs.

    Tottenham Hotspur V Aston Villa

    Startet 4 teenagers. Started 3 players signed in January, 2 players signed late in January. Son, Kulusevski and Porro nowhere near their best, fatigue probably a big part of that. Then go a goal behind straight away. Yeah, we were disjointed. Horribly disjointed even. Shouldn't be a surprise...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    In an attacking sense, sure. I guess. Though for me you also need to gamble at times that the team will be able to put the opponents under some sustained pressure and keep the ball high up the pitch for a while. Defensively when we press higher the deeper players have to push up. Front players...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Very good and imo underestimated factor in playing well and good buildup play. Part of why "pass completion" stats without context are pretty pointless. And playing those passes well, accurate, good weighting, good timing, not just completing a pass is vital for a player to be a good at ball...

    Ange departs

    I have to say I think we need a fairly strong finish to the season for that to happen. If that happens we should have a stronger squad next season. Not just the summer window, but players like Gray, Bergvall, Moore, hopefully Odobert all stepping up a level as well as Kinsky and Danso -...

    Ange departs

    Doesn't feel like you're having a go. Hope the feeling is mutual. I think the impact of injuries and fatigue on our recent months remains understated. Two games a week, between 8-11 players out injured for most of that 2.5 month period. With several key first team players included in that. To...

    Ange departs

    We haven't been awful for 17 months imo. Sure, if you thought we were awful up until the injuries got real bad too that's fine. But we see that very differently. For me we were inconsistent, at times excellent at times poor for quite while, then "awful" when we suffered one of the worst injury...

    Mathys Tel

    Think he's looked good. Not like he's been set up in great positions most of the time. Good that he got a goal.

    Tactics Thread

    No Solanke, exhausted Son instead. Then a 17 year old on one wing and a 19 year old newly signed on the other. If that doesn't impact how well a team can press I don't know what does.

    Ange departs

    Personally I think just the one week off we have now will help a bit. Won't fully refresh players who are fatigued, have niggles, whatever. But I think it will help a bit. Some returning players needing a bit of time will probably be the case, but at least players that can take half an hour here...

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    May be. May also be some injuries we don't know about. But I think part of it is also that he's not a natural 6. And another part of it that we were a bit of a mess ahead of him as well.
