    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Fulham were set up perfectly to deal with our strengths and weaknesses - 2 DMs to cover the centre and offer coverage if the full backs got caught high upfield. Get behind our full backs, and don’t get dragged out of position when defending. I’m hoping Ange is putting all these in the memory...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Timo Werner

    Looked better than Kulu and Johnson, but still doesn’t look good enough to warrant purchasing for me still. I’d rather see if we can get more out of Johnson (who was Sunday league yesterday) then know what we are - and are not - getting from Werner. I’d much rather see a new winger come in

    Player Watch Player Watch: Yves Bissouma

    Looks a long way short of confident. Biss at the start of the season was receiving the ball on the half term and looking to play forward - it was always back (barely even square) last night. His lack of awareness when running back to our goal is a bit of concern, really something he needs to...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Wolves

    Very insipid display. We’ve come up against enough teams who just want to sit deep, and yet we still do not have a game plan. We dont look to get crosses into the box - which is good because there is often barely anyone in there until we slowly grind forward, by which time the opponent has also...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Brighton

    Only caught the second half. Some recurring themes from this season - a little too lax with possession when a player is facing our own goal, struggle to break down low block teams, very good when there is space in behind the back line and we exploit with quick interplay on the break to exploit...

    Player Watch - Ashley Phillips

    Looks like a little work to be done on his 1-on-1 defending, but seen experienced pros (including Toby when struggling for form) stand off attackers to the point they would end up in the back of the net before putting in a challenge if it came to it. undoubtedly getting good experience

    Referees

    It’s a really hard job - but I don’t think they are helped with the way they are taught to conduct themselves. I’d love them to be empowered to explain their decisions more to players during the game, instead they make their decision and tell the players to go away. They must also be taught not...

    Spurs Youth Thread 23/24

    It would be fascinating to get a greater understanding of how the club, and other elite clubs, look at loans. Do they get lots of offers but turn them down, or do they have to work harder to get the loanee clubs interested? Is it the financials of the deal (both ways), is it game time, playing...

    Spurs Youth Thread 23/24

    I’m not sure his first team appearances are a good indication of the type of player Donley is - he seems to have come on in midfield and done more work near our own box than the opponents, when in the youth teams he was the main goal scorer and striker to begin with but the last 18-24 months he...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Timo Werner

    Puts in a shift for certain. Good team player, assist for Johnson was very good. Still unsure longer term - he is good when there is space to run into, but I’m not yet convinced he will score enough (could just be a lack of sharpness so happy to be convinced). Also don’t think he offers much...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Brentford -

    And the ref was shocking. Balls the size of shrunken peas

    Match Threads Spurs vs Brentford -

    Brentford did their best to make themselves an unlikeable team. Lots of time wasting, play acting. first half we really had no idea and Werner looked like a decent sprinter and that was it. Second half we played some quick ball and got into the penalty box quickly. We have really got to start...

    Dominic Solanke (!?)

    I think he had potential but is now a sometimes very good, sometimes very average striker. Think he would really struggle if he came to us, and 50 mill is a joke.

    Joe Lewis and insider trading

    Love his plea deal - guilty, but can appeal if he’s given a jail sentence. Would love to hear that appeal! Insider trading - isn’t that what the stock market is all about? I can see, at some point in the future, a heavily indebted G7 (9? 12? 26?) says sod it, creates a fund to bet on its...

    Player Watch - Japhet Tanganga

    Can’t be worse than his last loan! Hopefully he gets a chance and impresses and cements a position
