How have Spurs declined so much? They’re tragic.

There’s a public rape happening in Marseille here like.

Get Ronaldo to LAFC and MLS is laughing for a year or three.

Been a while since I posted these, but here we go: The key takeaways: Goals For/Against vs. Same/Equivalent Opponents • Only once have we taken fewer points from the same opponent as last season, which was the robbery against Crystal Palace at home. • We've taken more points from the same opponent on 6/12 occasions and matched the tally on 5/12 occasions. Insane consistency. • We've scored more goals against the same opponent in 5/12 games, the same amount in 3/12, and fewer goals in 4/12. Pretty standard here. • However, we are yet to concede more goals against the same opposition in 2022/23 vs. 2021/22. In 9/12 games we've conceded fewer and in 3/12 the same. This is huge. • We've only conceded more than 1 in 2/12 games: Man City (h) and Liverpool (a) - the latter of which was another fucking robbery. • Similarly in GD, only twice has our goal difference been poorer in the equivalent game from last season. 8/12 times it's been better and 2/12 times it's been the same. Unreal. Goals For/Against vs. Same/Equivalent Opponents • In only 3/12 games has our xG For been lower in 2022/23. There's no doubt that we're creating more and more consistently (+0.67 xG For per game, on average.) • In 5/12 games our xG Against has been higher this season, though never by more than 1 goal. 0.53 is the highest difference. (-0.69 xG Against per game, on average.) • In 9/12 games our xG Difference has been better in this campaign. On 7 occasions it's been by >1. On 5 >2. On 2 >3. (+1.36 xG Difference per game, on average.) We're just a much, much better team all-round. Barring a catastrophe, that just doesn't stop happening. Oh, and this is with Isak having only played 23% of all available minutes, Maxi 33%, Wilson 60%, and Bruno 68%. Between them, they've played 46% of possible minutes so far and they've never all been on the pitch together at the same time. Isak's never even played with Maxi or Wilson, and he's only had 72' minutes with a returning Bruno against Bournemouth. I'd argue that there's more to come from us, not less.

More than one. -
Seems like he's getting peddled to make way for Neves. Could all be bollocks, of course, but I saw quotes from Neves discussing Barca's interest.
-
Neves is off to Barca.

Grim. -
Buzzing to be on 30 points and in third place for the World Cup break, like.

Nah, just means he can come home sooner to take the Gillespie role.

Some of you really, really worry me at times.

Aye, absolutely rank patter. He's been binned.

Fancy at least a point and can foresee a dust-up between Conte and Tindall in this one. Think we'll have to try and slow it down as much as possible due to fatigue at times, and it won't take much to get the crowd on their backs. If we play it smart, the win's there for the taking. I'd bring Willock in for Joelinton, or move Joelinton higher in place of Murphy, but keep the rest the same and just use subs earlier.
