The College Dropout

I think they are confident of securing considerably higher commercial deals with this APT stuff coming into scrutiny. The future of what financial controls the PL will use is unclear.

He’s not going to get the choice. Slots professional and tactical flexibility is a large part in why he was hired. He was going to come in and work with what he’s given with a smile on his face. He’s not ostracised a single player. Big clubs are moving away from the Mourinho and Conte personality types who demand a certain specialist profile of player or unduly ostracise capable players for stylistic reasons. I heard that was a major reason Liverpool didn’t go for Amorim. He’s married to 5 at the back.

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.
