    recruitment needs to be better too. kudus was excellent, but letting both mgw and eze slip through is costing us plenty now.

    João Palhinha

    see what caicedo did yesterday - he is a destroyer plus. doesn't go around to try to win all tackles but falls back into a structure so that the team can play their part. only destroys to punish. if Paulinha needs to come close he needs to win the ball and play a useful ball that can turn into...

    Xavi Simons

    no its not xavi's fault but he is not the solution now either

    i think he felt responsible and ashamed or the goal and did not feel up to it to face the fans. quite a mess up between him and xavi to be honest

    ***Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea***, Premier League, Nov 1st 2025 at White Hart Lane

    its a very broad observation and its not wrong, but it fails to pin point the root cause. for instance are bentancur and palhinha too defensive? do they have the ability to turn ball recovery into attack? if not who does? is there a structure for Xavi to operate in? Like Kudus, he is often...

    Xavi Simons

    But he's not what we need now when madders and kulu are out long term. MGW was the right profile and too bad it didn't happen - Xavi has been a poor signing and is creating more unnecessary pressure for TF.

    ***Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea***, Premier League, Nov 1st 2025 at White Hart Lane

    I thought the team put up a good fight despite lots of questions about the performance Lots of fight and even TF looked frustrated and disappointed at the end We played better than last season - so an improvement. And Chelsea scored only through a mixup between Xavi and VDV. Vicario, Kudus and...

    caicedo's football intelligence is underrated. he's like a shark... only pouncing when he smells blood and goes all the way. both efficient and effective.

    ***Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea***, Premier League, Nov 1st 2025 at White Hart Lane

    its a mess in midfield - we have 4 players just chasing down the ball like schoolkids with no sense of structure. the result is often when we do get the ball, we have too many players close to the ball and none to play out to. however there is always a striker waiting up front but the...

    in the chelsea game caicdeo had more impact overall than both bentancur and palhinha

    Xavi Simons

    unfortunate that he was called up because of a sudden concussion injury in the chelsea game, but xavi is so weak and slow it was hard watch and unbelievable to think about the price we paid for him. it was probably a poor decision made after the mgw debacle and maddison injury, but don't we...

    João Palhinha

    I think Paulinha is a pure destroyer and doesn't have the tools to be a modern hybrid midfielder. He gets the ball but we are slow to transition into attack. its one and the same problem to me. A big caveat here is Bentancur's role as they have to work together in maintaining a presence in...

    Lol if Levy were still here, I think we'd see one of the hotels converted into a THFC Hospital. And also THFC Medical Insurance.

    Richarlison

    clause or not he would be an instant upgrade and a few more points guranteed for CL placing. just get him or we restart ENIC OUT

    ***Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea***, Premier League, Nov 1st 2025 at White Hart Lane

    i think our best chance is to defend well and counter attack. i would prefer bentancur to start and sarr to replace him at the 60 min mark what does rosewell do? if dragusin is ready i would have him in as vdv and romero tend to lose their heads against chelsea.

    Brennan Johnson

    Johnson needs to change his attitude to become a better player. Just being more cynical and using his skills just to get ahead and get tripped - its invaluable alternative dark arts that creates set piece opportunities too. We've never been that type of club and i do think we deliberately avoid...

    very good zig zag movement from build up and getting into positions before the goal. something richy doesn't have and wee need to give midfielders options
