If we go into next season with the current midfielders then we are completely fucked. It is so light weight.

there is no running power in there, couple that with the lack of pace at CB it’s very easy for teams to get goal side of us we just can’t cover the spaces behind midfield and defence. Ndombele has got fantastic ability, there is a player in there, same with Lo Celso. There is ability, definitely need to add some real pace and energy through the spine of the team. I don’t think Hojbjerb is the answer, I think people went way overboard about him when we were defending deep as a team and there wasn’t as much space for him to cover. Since we’ve changed shape he’s struggling more and I don’t think it’s down to tiredness it’s a lack of athleticism.

he's decent enough for the crap team we currently are, but he'd never get a game at a top club.

Could have sworn there were shouts of him being one of the best players in the league in the period we were top of the table? Nominated for player of the month in November, no? Must be just me then...

This is horse shit, not just ordinary horse shit either, but prime, fresh from the butthole, steaming, moist and covered in flies horse shit.

He’s been one of our most consistent performers this year, a bright spot in a very gloomy few months. Right now he’s very obviously knackered having played almost every single game in this fixture packed season.

It's almost like we're just turning on every fucking player, the board and each other now.
Some of the stuff one here recently has been such preposterous over-reaction, it's amazing.

we're a top club? based on one league cup in 30 years?

Fuck me fucking sideways.

If you’re going to make stupid statements like this, at least get the number of trophies right.

Of course Spurs are a top club. We have been competing at the top of the league, or for the top four for the best part of a decade now. Consistently played CL football and got past the group stages regularly as well as playing in the biggest game in club football.

People need to stop with this bullshit self pitying narrative that we aren’t a big club with big ambitions.

Some of you lot would have been beyond suicidal if you’d gone through the 90s following Spurs.

we may have big ambitions, we just dont have big success. People need to stop with this bullshit self-aggrandizing narrative that we are one of the powerhouses. PEH was one of the better players at a club teetering on the brink of mid-table mediocrity.

Jeez, I don't want to throw neg reps about because I don't think you normally come out with such outrageous comment but blimey mate, do you not think we're a top club?
I understand that everyone's feeling a bit down at the minute but let's not ignore what we've become over the past decade or so.
