Assuming we go out to Lipzig on Tuesday which I guess all but the most optimistic fan amongst us is expecting least we should then have only one game a week for rest of season so hopefully this burn out issue can be put to bed.


It won't be sorted this season.
Players will need a break to get rested.

Jose Mourinho speaking to Sky Sports about Tanguy Ndombele, who was substituted at half-time: "I hope he uses every minute on the pitch and every minute knowing what the Premier League is to improve. Many fantastic players in their first season in a new country for different reasons they struggle. There have been many examples of that. He’s a player with great talent. He has to know he has to do much better and know I cannot keep giving him opportunities to play because the team is much more important."

That’s very fair comment imo

God I’m sick of Mourinho moaning. Had to turn him off.

I see he’s chosen Ndombele as his high profile target to fall out with. Does it at every club.
He should keep it behind closed doors. But maybe he's bollocked him enough times and he just hasn't got the message.

I don't blame Jose because it's clear he's got a point. The bloke isn't fit and the team really needs him to be right now. It's unprofessional, totally unprofessional at this stage. I'm 100% expecting him to get his arse in gear next season and if he doesn't then he should go because that's not what we need here at Spurs.

GLC is a good player but far too casual for me. Twice at the end he very nearly gave the point away ala Eriksen at City. No excuse after only playing a half. As for the rest of the team, I think second half we were set up sensibly, put some pressure on, but didn't make enough clear-cut chances to win the game. It was better, but not good enough for a squad with this much proven ability.

GLC is the best player we have currently. By a mile too. He single handedly ran the second half.

I think the Scum will be celebrating their stupid celebration day over us this year due to their frontline options particularly after their result but I'm happy with us getting something today as had written us off getting anything at all after Wednesday.

The beauty of Mourinho is his tactical nous and as highlighted Poch may have let this drift he is a winner on that front 2nd half much improved. Realisation he is working within boundaries never encountered before apart from when he was maybe at Porto the rest of the season it will only test him more. I have to say I am a fan of his interviews as well clear, to the point and at least not a mumble even though the press needs to be improved in the team roll on next season surely no excuses then COYS!!

Hmm. We’ve been clutching to that fact since early February. He’s since got a point in three games. Shows how shit the league is but if we continue like this it won’t be the case for much longer

Well that was after this game. A fact in early February is subject to change - that is a fact today (based on the BBC anyway). How ”shit the league is”?but that is the league we are playing in. What do you want us to do - shift to Serie A? With this injured spent squad Jose has been the third best in the league. Deserves a bit of credit.

Hard to disagree with Mourinho here

Ndombele is in serious danger of pissing his massive talent away

We need onana to replace lloris.
He's clearly our number 1, but questions definitely need to be asked. Ideally we'd be looking to replace him, but there are much bigger priorities. Definitely stick with him now for at least another season.

He’s 100% said nothing wrong there.

Nah he needs to up his game and he needs to do whatever it takes to do that.

Not a fan of managers calling out players but Ndombele needs a kick up the arse.
His effort is appalling. Professional athlete, should be embarrassed. Looks like he’s walking back from the pub pissed half the time

This is mindless ranting sir. Please at least rant in an informed way. Or just say random things like whaaaat the faaaack was that etc etc
To be fair my rants are not aimed at you my apologies it’s just the way our football club is being run by a complete bandit. Who has completed ruined such an impressive young squad and management team and unfortunately we are going to loose one of the best strikers in our history because there is no way Harry will stay with Spurs and win fuck all in his career. Cheers
