    Player Watch: Serge Aurier

    Serge was immense today - his decision making in defence is absolutely transformed. Jose talks about simple rules when it comes to defending - I think Serge is benefiting from the style of coaching - in most scenarios he has a simple set of rules to follow and the difference in his decision...

    Dele Alli at Everton

    I think Jose is playing it smart with Dele - he clearly thinks he is a talent - but wants more from him. After subbing him against Everton he expects a reaction when he's next played. He thought Plovdiv would be simpler than it was and wanted to keep Dele wound up while missing next (supposed)...

    Match Threads RB Leipzig vs Spurs - Match Thread (CL 2nd leg - Round of 16)

    Getting more amd more angry watching this. What the hell has happened to this team? Where is the fluidity, passing, pressing, effort, togetherness, plan, flair and goals? We are and have been shambolic for whole of 2020. Seems no one at the club cares any more

    Team for Chelsea...

    I would like to see Dele up front as the striker - yes he is better arriving from deep, but he has the qualities to play up there and has before. Hopefully Jose subbing him against Leipzig was a ploy to keep him fresh while also firing him up for Chelsea game.

    Harry Winks - Leicester City

    Winks has the ability to play the game like Xavi or Modrić - when playing confidently he can genuinely look like he would slot into Barcas midfield no problem. When lacking confidence he stops playing it forward, stops offering for the ball and can look very average. You might say its a...

    Krzysztof Piatek

    Interesting to see the numbers for passes, headers etc. Not sure Serie A stats offer good comparison with someone playing in Premier League. Tackles per game for a forward presumably lower in Italy? Same for headers won? Not saying he would necessarily be transformed playing in a different...

    Krzysztof Piatek

    I'm not sure about that More physical presence and meanace than a mere poacher - he's suited and able to be the focus of the attack. Perhaps "hold up play" isn't his forte but he presses well and turns the ball over high up the pitch fairly regularly - we actually suit an energetic high...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Liverpool - Match Thread

    If I were Jose I would play a non standard formation for this one. I'd play a "442" but played with inside forwards and no one central. Liverpool's fullbacks create a lot of Liverpool's goals and chances. Both are better going forward than when forced to defend deep. I say we pack both flanks...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 30th November 2019

    I think Victor isn't the type to hang around for the wages - the deal on the table was to move to the Jupiler league in Belgium - the fact he seriously considered that move means he's willing to move on for football - just not willing to drop that far down. Can see him at another PL club or...

    Racist abuse in our stands, we need to face it if it’s there.

    I think he was pointing at his ears and making the gesture to demonstrate what he thought he heard. I'm pretty sure if anyone had been making monkey gestures or chants someone mear would have reported it, the tv cameras or cctv would have evidence. I'm yet to be convinced - I would hate to be...

    Racist abuse in our stands, we need to face it if it’s there.

    I suspect the "monkey chants" Rudiger thought he heard from a sizable section of fans was in fact fans chanting "who who who the Y*ds are". You could hear that chant clearly and the spurs players seemed to be trying to explain that to Rudiger who repeatedly mistook the repetitive chanting of...

    The boy not so special...

    Simon Davies and Kyle Naugton? Both were considered the better player in double signings - Matty Etherington and Kyle Walker kinda outshone the player they were a make weight for
