    It was outrageous. I mean, utterly outrageous.

    That's the one. Some of the assaults on Hoddle were outrageous!

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa FC ***

    I remember the CWC SF against Barca at the Lane. They were hands down the dirtiest side I have ever seen at the Lane. Butchers. I have always held a slight grudge against them and their saintly reputation since...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    But what does hammering this stat mean to you mate? What's the story? Let's forget about the trophy (in fairness it seems many already have). Did that mean that this season was to be expected? Why then were all the things said by Frank and VV about 'standing on the shoulders of others' and...

    Xavi Simons

    I mean, it isn’t rocket science is it?!!! Agreed!

    Xavi Simons

    I’ve said all along that this is a proper player, a genuine talent, and we are NOT using him to his best talents. Anyone who wrote him off/writes him off is not anyone who I think can spot a great talent!

    The thing is, when we pick the ball up deep, we rarely, rarely look to use the middle in any sense. We either go for sweeping crossfield switch, a lateral carry and release to the wide areas, or we go long front to back and try to hit deeper pockets in behind and wide. I’m not imagining it mate...

    I agree with much here. That first-half is more of what I think is a major element hamstringing this side. On the one hand you have a home crowd who want an uptempo display. Then we have a system which ended up leaving us in the middle of nowhere. Soft mid-press which ended up giving vast...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa FC ***

    You’re missing my point. The players absolutely tried to play football. There is no structure of how to play front-foot football which uses the middle of the pitch or the relationships some of these players have. We are simply relying on them to do it themselves. And sorry, we did bring an...

    If we actually had a pattern of attacking play which valued areas of the pitch other than wide, we’d be creating more with that second-half attitude. What we saw was reliance on individual moments coupled with energy. Imagine what Xavi, Tel, and Muani might be able to create if we actually had...

    I genuinely don’t know if you understand my perspective. Yes, I appreciated the excitement. Anything after that first-half.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa FC ***

    Exactly. I appreciate the effort second-half, but it was essentially energised chaos-ball. With 10-15% more measure and quality, we’d have got way with showing up for one-half. If we actually had any notion of pattern going forward beyond ‘heavy pressing for a bit’ I believe we can get more out...

    João Palhinha

    He has been undeservedly maligned because he isn’t Pirlo or Odegaard. I agree. He has been really good, and today he was excellent.

    Sick sick world what is wrong with people

    I deleted comments I had made in exchange with a member of this forum. I did so because it is utterly pointless to engage with them and dignify their posts. I’m going to try and hold myself to a higher standard.
