The College Dropout

You would think Miley and Osulu take up a couple of those or they’ll need to go out on loan. A player like Targett would nice replacing. I can see him not leaving though.

If that is true then the club expect PSR fall out to also favour us. This squad needs £120-200m investment to really go again. CB. RW. GK. Minimum.

Never going to Happen

It looks like Spurs are all about becoming a big club financially but not on the pitch by winning trophies. This squad is in transition imo. It’s for 2-3 years down the line. A lot of teenagers.

Have to beat Forest. Nothing else really matters.

Schar has been poor for some time hasn’t he ?

We should be able to not be 3-0 down against the worst Guardiola side ever.

That’s Eddie setting us up wrong.

One of those games where a first half sub is needed. Deschamps did it in the WC final and Amorim did it against us. I rate that in a manager imo. This isn’t working, we are getting mauled and embarrassed - make a change.

LOL I thought we could do something here

I hope the issue he had with lateness isn’t indicative of a bigger issue with the lad. He’s got talent. He has real composure in the box. Think he’s the type that will always score goals but the rest of his game needs development.

I can see Howe having a 2 phase tactical setup involving both formations.

Teams do better home than away aye. But relatively speaking - we are better away from home this season. Think we are top 5 for away points but midtable at home.

Did they? That’s not what I gathered when I read on it but could be wrong.

People say that. UEFA banned Milan from the Europa league due to breaches.

Still have to comply with uefa limits if we qualify for Europe. Doesn’t make a big difference

He’s not even particularly creative. He links up well but not a creative force imo. He’s has got ability but doesn’t deliver consistently. He’s a supporting striker. A poor man’s Eidur Gudjonson or a skinny Olivier Giroud. He’ll score some class goals. Think he scored a banger against England. Excellent first touch and finish in Howe’s first season up against Burn. This season people have definitely given up on him. I thought he could be good for 15 PL goals but he won’t get that now. Earning more than Saka is criminal.

They are 5th. 6th guarantees Europe. They are 5 points from not qualifying for Europe. Italy are in the race for the extra CL spot too. Currently second. Guaranteed - no. But likely - yes.

With a fit Joelinton we would be setup perfectly against these. Man City have ballers. But their legs have gone and their heads are easily gone.

It’s unlikely Juventus won’t qualify for a European competition though.

Fancy Celtic to win at home here.

Alisson is pretty injury prone for a keeper. VVD, Salah, Mane, TAA, Robertson - didn’t seem to miss a lot of games in their pomp. Around them Gomez, Matip, Konate always seemed to rotate injuries.

Havertz and Saka have played too many minutes. Arsenal have a small squad. They were always eventually going to have a season like this IMO. They don't have a squad to challenge on multiple fronts year in year out.

I'm sure it will be ahead of ours. But the match-day income and deals are a long-term advantage that we have. Villa have a financial advantage in the short-term due to these sales. Their greatest PSR weapon is a good academy which is a long-term advantage that neutralises our current LT advantages.

Just see. The goal. It’s lovely work by Perisic, excellent first touch. Kelly got played but it was superb work. Not great defending but not awful. Perisic is one of the best 2 footed players of the last 20 years. Dont know why he’s at PSV. Surely it’s time for MLS or Saudi? Must have an eye on the World Cup. Think Modric is as well, closing in on 200 caps that lad.
