    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v woolwich *** 22.2.26

    VDV was well-suited to the way Postecoglou set us up, until the injuries came along. When I'm in a bad mood (which is every time I've been watching Spurs for the past two years), I think he's a luxury version of Anthony Gardner. He's got a better all-round technique, but his positioning is only...

    Igor the Departed

    We'll see what happens at the end of the season, but I'm really not sure bringing Tudor in for the Arsenal game was such a good idea. There's no such thing as a free hit in football. Should mistakes be made again against Fulham, they will be analysed against the backdrop of our performance (or...

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v woolwich *** 22.2.26

    At the moment, what's in the players' heads is as important as what you see on the training pitch. Putting Muani back on the bench after his performance against Arsenal is a difficult choice. I'd swap one of Bissouma or Sarr (depending on their attitude) for Muani, assuming he can play off...

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v woolwich *** 22.2.26

    Abysmal recruitement + Abysmal medical team + lower tier managers = where we are now I don't think there'll be a new manager bounce because, unlike Manchester United, we don't have quality players and the few decent players we have have been on the shelf for weeks/months which means - assuming...

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v woolwich *** 22.2.26

    Refereeing was absolutely abject from start to finish and, unsurprisingly, we were outclassed from start to finish. That's why I wished they'd waited until after that game to get someone in. It's not an ordinary game and we were never going to beat them under these circumstances. Anyway... On...

    Who would you want as the new Director of Football?

    In France and Germany, they've been using that kind of structure for a long, long time. PSQatar killed the Ligue 1, but the Bundesliga is still fairly competitive and, in recent years, it's been a decent proving ground for lots of decent/quality coaches. I don't follow football as closely as I...

    Congrats! On the plus side, if the games are in the middle of the night, he'll make sure you don't doze off...

    Igor the Departed

    Ha! He chose his former team-mate as his agent! How lame is that? Still, he must be the first man in history to manage both Hajduk Split and Tottenham so, here's hoping his time here is a resounding success!

    Next Manager Thread (2026 Edition)

    I was very much against reappointing him but now, I think we need to exorcise that particular demon. If the magic happens again, great. If it doesn't, we (collectively, as fans) will stop dreaming about what might have been... although I suspect Postecoglou will soon replace him. Some people...

    Interim Manager Discussion - Igor Tudor joined until end of season

    From what I've heard, Tudor is more clever than he lets on but he's not going to start a tactical revolution 12 games away from the end of the season. It's all about restoring a sense of togetherness within the club and convince the players to give everything in those remaining few matches. We...

    Interim Manager Discussion - Igor Tudor joined until end of season

    I'm not sure it's such a good idea to make it clear to everyone - including the players - that he won't be there next season. Nobody really expects him to stay on anyway, but if you're a player and you don't like him or if you decide you'd be better served by, say, taking your foot off the pedal...

    Interim Manager Discussion - Igor Tudor joined until end of season

    It depends on what you call 'speaking English'... I don't think there a person in the Balkans who doesn't think they can speak English. Whether you'd be able to understand them is another matter.

    Interim Manager Discussion - Igor Tudor joined until end of season

    I really don't think our players have the concentration and grit levels required to be successful in a defensive set up. The most efficient we've been over the past years was when Postecoglou stopped playing suicide-ball. We were still very a much a front-foot team (albeit a poor one). I agree...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I'm not making him anything but (from what I recall - believe it or not, I don't listen to his press conference every night before going to bed) what, in my opinion, makes Conte's rant stronger is the fact that he didn't spare the players. Pochettino, Mourinho, Espirito Santo and, so far, Frank...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Thanks for that, I guess. Sometimes, you have to wonder what goes through people's head... he even says it's a mistake in the same sentence!! It feels like he did on purpose. Guy should see a shrink.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I'm sad to admit that, so far, Conte has been proved right. He clearly lost his temper but everything he said was true. One of a problem at a club like Spurs is that signing players isn't enough. We want outstanding players. That's part of the reason why we've never been able to focus on their...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I don't have a problem with that either, but a) I'm not a professional football player and b) saying that when managing a group of players who just won a European competition with a manager who told them the exact opposite was certainly a faux pas. It would have been ok if he had us challenging...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I've heard or read somewhere yesterday that during his first press conference, Frank said something along the lines of 'one thing I can guarantee is that we will be losing games'. If he did (can't be bothered to check) that's a rookie mistake particularly when coming after someone like...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    "Frank had arrived at Tottenham with a “no d---heads” policy that he cultivated at Brentford, but implementing that in north London was not as easy as he might have anticipated or liked." :tearsofjoy: Tell me we've got a squad full of dingdongheads without telling me we have a squad full of...
