I agree but that’s what Mourinho was trying to do and sadly player power won and Levy sacked Mourinho rather than getting rid of underperforming players
Best performance from Dele in a long time. He worked hard, chased back where necessary, got forward well into dangerous positions and kept things simple. Just pleased to see him cut out all the self-indulgent flicks and tricks
I watch Burnley quite often and believe that Wood is the best option of those suggested, at a potentially reasonable and realistic transfer fee.
Hard working, committed and aggressive.
Fits Mourinho mould well as an excellent target man - particularly strong in the air - who has a decent scoring...
Totally agree - we miss Dier badly - he provides security for the back four - we would not have conceded the goal today or against Villa with Dier holding in midfield and that would have prevented both those teams sitting so deep and showing so little ambition
For what it’s worth
Newcastle were well organised and we lacked creativity to break them down - this is even more of a problem when we concede soft early goal
Without Eriksen we lack creativity badly
Winks is a neat tidy continuity player but lacks a USP - no real pace, incisive passing etc - he...
Yes that's true but if we want to challenge for Premier League and be competitive in Champions League then we have to manage squad or spend big money to build a deeper more talented squad. We are spending massively on a fantastic new stadium and have also strengthened squad. I think we have got...
The FA cup is not a priority. Our priorities should be the Premier League and Europa League. We have a massive match on Tuesday. Kane, Vertongen and Alderweireld cannot play today - other players have played a lot and need to be managed properly - Ali, Eriksen, Dembele, Wanyama and full backs...
Superb performance- this system really suits our team
3 really good ball playing defenders
highly effective wing backs
2 superb central midfielders who shield defence and retain possession so well and system frees up Eriksen and Alli to be creative
Awesome!
Kane is extremely average - vastly overrated. Poor touch, lacks pace & confidence & not a natural finisher. Will never be more than reasonable Championship Player. We would never buy a player of that quality if he had not come through youth set-up.
VAN earned the right to manage spurs - that is why we gor our best ever points total last year & have best away record in PL. I understood what he was trying to do with the team and felt we were in control of most games even much of the first half at Man City. If Sherwood wanted to manage Spurs...
I would be very happy with Scott Brown. It's all about alternatives. He is a much better all-round player than Zokora. Away from home, a central midfield pairing of Palacios and Brown would be much more robust, protect the back four well and allow Modric, Lennon and even Huddlestone etc to...
I was very happy with the selection of King as DM - he certainly justified his selction as did Dawson who was excellent and will be Tottenham skipper before too long. I was less happy with Zokora playing on right side midfield. That was possibly a reasonable selection in first half to provide...
