    My pieces

    Andros Townsend maintained his place in the starting XI as his direct running and “heels-on-the-touchline” wing-play were necessary to stretch Chelsea’s back three of Nemanja Matic, John Terry and Gary Cahill and create more space for Nacer Chadli, Christian Eriksen and Harry Kane. Danny Rose’s...

    Assessing Pochettino's pre-season: Tactics & Player Management vs Toronto

    Spurs again lined up in what appeared to be a 4-2-3-1 shape. Ben Davies made his debut at left back, while Lamela, Eriksen and Soldado all lined up in what was an intimidating starting XI for a mediocre-looking Toronto side. Players such as Soldado, Lamela, Mason, Kaboul and Veljkovic were...

    The Franco Baldini appreciation thread.

    I reckon we don't see or hear of half of the work Franco does for us behind closed doors. Last summer, we heard all sorts of stories about his "little black book" which contained connections to all across the world, we saw the efforts of his leg work with pictures and rumors coming in about him...

    A theory as to why Pochettino was hired...

    This post will look at Pochettino's philosophy and tactical ideology which he will likely implement at Tottenham Hotspur. Based on his work at Espanyol and Southampton, his tutelage under Marco "El Loco" Bielsa and the type of players he employs on the pitch. (I cannot guarantee this is how...

    Did we miss a trick with Demichelis?

    I know a lot of initial reaction will be, "is this a serious question?" but genuinely I feel like we've missed a trick here. Now I'll admit, when his contract expired last season with Malaga, I wasn't on here or Twitter banging on doors to advertise this player for Spurs but after seeing how...

    PLAYER WATCH: Brad Friedel

    Considering his contract expires this summer, does anyone think he should be awarded another one-year extension? Personally, I feel as if he should be awarded another contract, he's been very solid backup to Lloris and has been nothing but class for us when it comes to talking to and handling...

    Hope for the best, prepare for the worst... expect 5th (what next season will bring)

    Before our next manager is announced, before we look forward to the next season with optimistic and aggressively ambitious eyes, as Spurs fan we must ask ourselves: What right do we have to challenge for 4th? In the last 10 seasons, we've finished 5th 4 times, 4th twice and we'll have done well...
