  1. Hope he forgets to remove a solitary tissue from his 'Pards' emblazoned training shorts before he puts them in a wash and spends the rest of the day picking bits of tissue from his clothes.
  2. Literally no idea with him - when he first burst on the scene I thought he looked pretty good, but completely stagnated over the last year or so and every Spurs fan I know thinks he is terrible.

    What a joke. Been some amazing work done there in getting rid of Ben Arfa for nothing, pay a huge fee for Cabella, getting rid of Cabella at a huge loss (at a time when he was beginning to show a bit of promise), buying Thauvin for a huge amount and then looking to get rid of him after half a season. Genius.
  4. Ben Yedder has scored 10 in his last 8 games or something.
  5. I'm a bit frustrated on balance - he has his faults clearly, but he could, on his day, be excellent. He just never managed to do it consistently after his first season.
  6. Love Perez but hasn't been playing well for while now. Looks sluggish and his decision making isn't particularly sharp.
  7. Really roughs up central defenders - love to see it.
  8. Absolutely brilliant tonight.
  9. Crucial for that goal as well.
  10. I think Mitrovic's movement is quite good and he is able to fashion a bit of space for himself in the box pretty well, it's more the fact that he never seems to get his body position sorted or his feet in the right place when a cross comes in.
  11. I think the crucial fact you are missing is that he wasn't particularly effective as a striker and had his position changed.
  12. Yep - go to BT Sport 2 and press red button.

    Steve McClaren

    Sampaoli leaving chile apparently. Should be in for him straightaway.
  14. Zola wasn't too shabby. Although Gabbiadini's goalscoring record looks pretty average.
  15. I'm convinced that Ashley's business empire will come crumbling down around him at some point in the future. Probably wishful thinking, but I've just got a feeling it could start going wrong for him.
  16. Some stuff on the Chronicle possible putting 2 and 2 together getting 5 about Wissam Ben Yedder now following Armstrong, Aarons and Thauvin on Twitter.
  17. Carroll is light-years ahead of Mitrovic in the air like. Our main outlet in attack is Janmaat and Sissoko flinging s**** in from the right, Carroll would be far more suited to dealing with it. Not saying he would be amazing like, but Mitrovic isn't going to dominate any CB pairing in the air like Carroll can. Think Mitrovic holds the ball up better than Carroll and uses his body better, but Carroll is much better in attacking the ball and a better finisher with his head.
  18. Yeah we were the better team. Definitely should have got something from the game. We created the better chances.
  19. He was very good today - looked like haas getting back to something approaching his best.
  20. He's a finisher, when you create as few chances as us you need someone who puts more away than most - Mitrovic is getting chances (not many admittedly) and missing them all. To be honest, I'm not convinced that Austin is that great - I've never been impressed by him when I've watched. I'm just surprised people are so convinced he would be scoring that many goals in our team. I suppose we won't ever know unless we get him, but I can absolutely see why we didn't spend 15 million on him.
  21. Not sure why people are talking as if Austin is a proven PL striker. It is hardly a given he'd have been a success for us at all - especially given he relies on service more than Mitrovic.
  22. Played very well today - as people have pointed out, he just looks a bit low on confidence in relation to his finishing at the moment. Bags of potential.
  23. Not really sure how you can argue with the bit you've helpfully bolded.
