Spurs thread 2020/21

He didn't do that at Porto; or at Chelsea first time around; or at Inter. I have no idea whether or not he did it at Madrid. The whole club was a circus back then.

Chelsea second time around, he walked into a toxic dressing room. The same players, for the most part, did exactly the same thing to Antonio Conte a couple of years later. At United, he walked into a club that was just a mess, with a clueless Chief Executive and board who were intent on marquee signings rather than actually listening to Mourinho and building a team. Or did you not realise that Mourinho wasn't calling most of the shots on player incomings there? Nevertheless, I concede that his particular character would only have added fuel to the flames that were already burning at those clubs when he arrived.

Who knows what will happen at Spurs? Maybe it will all go up in flames there too. But you can't assume that that will necessarily happen just because it has happened a couple of times in the past. After all, would it have been right to assume that Pep wouldn't stay at City for more than 3-4 years because that was all he had done at any club previously?

talk about denial,maureen has been a nasty **** since poking someone in the eye, fired from three jobs,can't lay a glove on top managers , he is a nasty , bitter has been ,you know you have problems when you start sticking up for him, toxic personified in the football world , he was happy at the rags when he got the players he wanted in his first window
 
So predictable, since the day he was appointed it was obvious how it would end. It's mad how many people in football erase things from their brain or ignore the blindingly obvious. Just this week we have seen West Ham realise that a change of scenery didn't cure Jack Whilshere's injuries. Brighton found out in game 1 that Adam Lalanna is a broken and Spurs discovered that Jose was done in 2015. We face 6 months of the blame game before finally paying the pr*ck off. Something a blindman could have seen has miraculously come to fruition.
 
Alli is a good player whose development stopped because of Poch initially losing the dressing room and suffered even more at the hands of this dinosaur who's more worried about teaching his players how to be cunts than actually train them.
 
If any other manager had Winks and Ndombele at their disposal they would be doing a lot better, same goes for Kane, Son and Bergwijn. But Mou is more obsessed with technically limited workhorses like Eric Dier only because they are bilingual. I for one am glad Levy did appoint Mou, these lot were getting too arrogant after their CL fluke vs us, and now are back to zero, moved to a new stadium and probably go through what Arsenal did, except any success prior (or after, at least in near future).

Maybe just maybe he had one brilliant season.
Then cannot get to the same standard again.
Happens quite a lot.
Was it not Peps first season that he had a brilliant season.
Seems ages ago.Nothing to do with Poch or the dinosaur.
That last world cup he was poor as well.
You cannot blame managers for his loss of form.
All down to him.
 
Dele is an interesting player because he has a very specific skill set. His movement is great, he’s a very reliable finisher, he’s technically proficient, he’s resourceful and he’s tenacious.

But he’s not really a creator, not that good back-to-goal, lacks the defensive discipline to play in central midfield, isn’t quick enough or a good enough dribbler to play wide - so where do you play him?

Subs bench?
 
I'm not convinced Mourinho is past it tactically, he overperformed significantly with United when they got 81 to our 100. He's starting to get some of his own signings in at Spurs, and it's telling he went after two midfielders.

Spurs have shit creativity from the midfield which has been papered over by Kane's finishing. We'll see how Lo Celso works out, not convinced Hojbjerg will contribute much on that front if the first game is any indication. Surprised they weren't in for Aouar.

I was looking at their midfield against Everton. I think it’s fair to say Everton now have a superior midfield. Tottenham’s is horrific.

You could be right. Everton have done some good business.

But Spurs were missing Lo Celso. Fantastic player. By far our best midfielder last season. And Ndombele has had no preseason owing to injury and covid so was way off the pace in his cameo against Everton. If he can get his head right (and reports suggest that he is working super hard in training) then we have a potential world class midfielder in our ranks.

If we had to make do with just Sissoko and Winks for the remainder of the season, then I would be very worried.
