Had a lot of connection issues today, that will not go away so do apoligise for video turning blurry after the 9 min mark until the end! So annoying, I tried to refilm that part and no luck :(
Glad you reminded me we have Vuskovic coming Alice , I needed some cheering up . Thanks for your analysis , it's clear , concise and thought provoking . Spurs definitely need reinforcements in January though .
Thanks Alice, insightful as usual. I wish Ange would tweak things a bit more with all of the injuries, but it's all good experience for players like Gray, Bergvall, and even Dragusin. What tactical changes would you have made in this situation? Merry Christmas!
Unfortunately Luka Vuskovic is not coming to summer. He has signed already and is on loan but since UK left the EU work and resident permits are not granted to under 18s and he is not 18 to end of February. Technically we could cancel his loan in January add him to squad list then let him stay abroad to his birthday then apply for work permit and he could play from March. But that using a place in squad for an untried in prem 18 year old who straight way can't play for a month
I think cardoso and Hancko are must-signs for us in January we need a long-term option for the 6 (personally i want Biss out) and hancko is just class, the evolution of Ange Ball in the prem is the 2 advanced 8's instead of a sole 10 like Maddison a midfield of Cardoso (6) Bentcurr (left-sided 8) and kulu (right-sided 8) would allow Ange to keep creativity and legs. Hancko is just perfect for ange ball and is the LCB/LB we need
Im hoping we get a defender mainly LB/LCB cover a Midfielder in cardoso whos been great for real betis from what ive heard and potentially could accelerate a move in January for him and maybe a forward
Thanks again Alice for another wonderful technical analysis of the players Spurs might be looking at this January. In my opinion, nobody does it better. God bless, and have a lovely Xmas and a wonderful new year, and for your sake, I hope United get through the poor 'new manager bounce' much sooner rather than later! 🙋♂ 🙋♂
I would trust Ange to know the best who we need and is a good fit for the club at this time. He has stated that we need new players in our ranks, let us all support him in doing what is the best for our club, including Mr Levy!! Remember this is a re-building of our club, so onward and upward guys!! And have a good Xmas and holidays all!! The Ange Sympathizer COYS!!
Right now, we are in serious need of a backup keeper and left back in this window but in the longer term we desperately need a genuine 6 thats better than Cardoso, an huge upgrade on Johnson at RW, a backup LCB with pace and a reliable striker that isnt made of glass. For the short-term, I think Koki Machida from Union SG is our best option, a Japanese LCB who can play the inverted full back role and has an excellenge range of passing, he'd only be around 15m and would be useful squad player.
I do think personally that the biggest need is a back up 'keeper, we need over all back-up in defence, but the 'keeper is the most important IMO. The Ange Sympathizer COYS!!
Thank you for all the good coverage Alice this year regarding Spurs, you are very talented and deserve the very bright future I’m sure you will have. Happy Christmas🎄
Yes, you're spot on with your analysis. The LCB/LB is the absolute priority. Otherwise there is the conundrum of buying expensive established players that might block e.g. Moore, Bergvall etc. I do think we need to replace Richy, simply because of the injuries. But then we have Scarlett, Veliz so back to the conundrum. In short, this could go very right or very wrong!
Great content you put out Alice. Hope Levi spends some cash as the EPL will be much more boring without Angeball. But Spurs seem to be on a never ending treadmill of successful business/failed footy team, change manager, and repeat. As a Liverpool fan I rate the Greek left back quite highly give him a run of games and he will do the job for Liverpool - still there is always room for another world class player in the Liverpool squad so a new top class LB/LCB would be fine too, Robo's in his last season for us I believe.
We need a Goalkeeper, CB, LB, DM, and a Striker. I like your LCB choices but there's no way those level of players want to play for 11th place spurs as second choice CBs. Why not just bring back Ashley Phillips? - Then concentrate the spending on Cordoso, Dorgu, David or Cunha and maybe a GK. Personally, I think Brandon Austin should get the nod instead of Forster. Its now or never for him! I agree about a winger but getting someone like Nico Williams when we're not in a qualifying position for Europe is a big ask. Whats his incentive? - I agree we need a quality winger but I don't think Ange and Levy see that as a must have, when they have Johnson, the new Korean kid and Kulu who can all play right wing.
Tottenham do have alot of injury concerns at the back atm and would definitely need some reinforcements at LB/LCB Hope you and your family have an amazing Christmas 🎄 Alice :)
@ Alice: merry Xmas ! I’m big spurs fan and have been following Vuskovic quite carefully. He’s a very young massive unit of a defender that could be brilliant. However he is far from being capable in PL. I’m hoping he goes on loan in Germany next year TBH
Once they were down 5-1 they had a crack got it to 5-3 if they score the 4th at that point it's a different game. Liverpool responded straight away and the game was gone. As horrible as the score was there were many positives. The team stuck with the plan and never gave up. Porro needs a rest - I'd play Spence over him ATM and Udogie who is looking more like last year as of late. Ange will never prioritise a low block over attacking football. You could say he could be more conservative at 3-1 but he ain't going to trial a different plan with a fatigued team. He did adapt with the City game.
Whoever we sign it'll be the cheapest players Levy can get. They then need to learn Ange's system and get to the fitness level he demands. Godfrey is a meh player who's never really stood out so he's probably Levy's first target. James Trafford is another but will his ego mean he won't sign as a backup. I'd rather take a chance on John Victor from Botofogo a huge guy at 6'6 but very agile with it. For DM is Stiller likely to be available or even Kimmich as he's nearing the end of his contract. At LB/WB it's got to be Hato as he'll be unaffordable for us in the Summer. Happy Christmas!
What do you think about Antonio Nusa, Alice? He has been outstanding for Norway this year, and I reckon he would be a great fit for Spurs❤️ (Yes, I’m from Norway😅)
Murillo and Cardoso would be good in January. Bissouma will be sold in the summer imo. They may go for a keeper as well as Forster isnt good enough. Kelleher would be good but he likely wouldn't leave until the summer if he left at all. I think Tottenham should sell Richie, Dragusin, Porro, Johnson, Bissouma and possibly Romero in the summer. That would give them around 300 million plus Levy would need to inject another 150million. Not sure what's happening with Son. They may just offer him the year extension. Spence is now being kept at right back instead of being sold. They would need to buy 2 centre backs, a right back, 2 wingers, striker, keeper in the summer. Cardoso, Gray and Bentancur is good depth at the 6. They could even possibly move Bentancur on as well if they saw Gray and Cardoso as the future at the 6. With Vuskovic coming into the club they may cash in on Romero while his value is at its optimum. Another 10 would be nice to give Maddison and Kulu some competition as well. Long term I'm not convinced Maddison is the answer at the 10.
Only because he couldn't get the ones Poch wanted and Poch didn't want the ones he could get. And they both agreed there was no point spending just for the sake of it. Don't propagate the MSM's fake news about Tottenham.
every player you listed other than murillo and cardoso is unrealistic... hincapie unlikely to leave leverkusen, ajax surely keep hato and demand more when he gets older and better, bynoe gittens will cost near 9 figures. players like these are unlikely to join us. obviously i hope that i'm wrong, but... seriously. be real. we aren't getting any of the names youve listed as long as we have daniel levy in the boardroom. we need to be looking for van de ven like transfers... players who aren't widely known but have been identified by our scouting and analyst team as someone who can make a real change in our squad.
He was never going to beat them with that back line but he could of set up more defensive/ allow them less space- damage control and try hit them on the break
Low block counter attack would have been ideal for this game. You can't just go toe to toe with Liverpool, given the circumstances. Gravenberch said they targeted our right side of defense. What were our tactics?
@@ECILAFootball 3 goals against Liverpool is an achievement in itself. Defend better and still probably lose 3-0 anyway? Ange just needs the proper tools to implement a very entertaining and successful brand of footy. Ange should get the City job when Pep leaves (pending any adverse penalty scenario of course), he would cook in the EPL with the proper players. Full throttle Angeball all the way!
Feel sorry for Archie Gray hes a kid playing at CB when he's more of a AMF I feel think he really should have stayed at Leeds for another season. Coming from a Liverpool fan!
nah he's getting invaluable EPL experience right now, no way he would want/need to be back in the Championship. Gray is class and will be a top level mid very very soon. His footy IQ is exceptional - he was protecting Forster against Liverpool avoiding passing back whenever possible - not that it made any difference to the score. Liverpool is in a different class than spurs, esp with spurs pathetically paper thin squad.
Absolute waffle he's playing there coz there's noone else unless we use a youth team player.We have plenty of midfielders it's not rocket science.If we never let Phillips go out on loan he wouldn't be playing there.
Had a lot of connection issues today, that will not go away so do apoligise for video turning blurry after the 9 min mark until the end! So annoying, I tried to refilm that part and no luck :(
No worries Alice we are more attentive on the audio 😊
You make great points but Liverpool rlly aren’t the most inform attack. Most inform all around team yes but not attack. That’s us
No worries about blurr. Your face is burned into my retina 😊
lol have a break Alice! Merry Christmas from Oz have a great time! I hope you have a great holiday!
Only watch premier league so have no clue about players from other leagues so good to come on here and find out.
Alice…you are one of the most insightful comentators in the business. My favourite watch. ESPN SKY please hire this genious!!
Agree!!!!
ESPN is embarrassing
Espn would probably ruin this bright mind. Alice can compete if she's stays strong to her beliefs.
Glad you reminded me we have Vuskovic coming Alice , I needed some cheering up . Thanks for your analysis , it's clear , concise and thought provoking . Spurs definitely need reinforcements in January though .

Fair play, Alice. Very interesting. Have a good Xmas and 100k subs for 2025.
Thsnks agsin for the video alice. COYS! Merry xmas to you 🎉
Happy holidays!
The key on Sunday was conceding that 3rd goal before HT, just after having brought themselves back into contention.
happy Christmas Alice thank you for ur videos so good to see a level headed football fan
Alice Happy Christmas you are such a refreshing podcaster.

Im hoping we get a defender mainly LB/LCB cover a Midfielder in cardoso whos been great for real betis from what ive heard and potentially could accelerate a move in January for him and maybe a forward
Yeah could really improve your defensive stability then use left over funds for a ready made son replacement in summer.
Merry Christmas Alice,i am a Toon fan from the Caribbean and apreciate you
Great video Alice and have a wonderful Christmas ❤
Alice your the ONLY punter to listen to regarding Spurs
Another insightful video Alice, thank you. Merry Christmas and thank you once again.

Alice you are sensational! Keep up the great work.
Would love to see Hato at Spurs, I think he would be perfect!
Thank you Alice this is so measured. You are so clear-eyed 👍

The LCB also needs to be dominant in the air and fast

Love the vid from my favorite closeted spurs fan👍🏻
We dropped points against Leicester, Ipswich, Bournemouth and Fulham.
And Forest?
Those 10pts would have us among the leaders. And then there's CP and another 3pts. And B&HA and 3 more...
Tottenham do have alot of injury concerns at the back atm and would definitely need some reinforcements at LB/LCB
Hope you and your family have an amazing Christmas 🎄 Alice :)
Spence has done a good job at LWB, but we really need him more to help Porro on the right (his best position).
@ Alice: merry Xmas ! I’m big spurs fan and have been following Vuskovic quite carefully. He’s a very young massive unit of a defender that could be brilliant.

0:02 did you mean genuinely or do you always think that Spurs need the Jan window the most?
Lol....Ask Pochettino about Levy not bringing players in....for 3 consecutive windows...
Yep, every spurs manager gets undermined by Levy in the end.
Levy was building a stadium.
Levy spent 140M for Poch on Ndombele, Lo Celso, and Sessegnon.
Levy backed Mou and Conte.
@@davidolatunji119 Levy literally told Jose to throw a final lol. Jose has openly said so 😂

I would say Man city are in more need ..spursy
Are just doing normal Spursy things 😆
no players coming back or any incomings are gonna save our season lmfao
Alice Tottenham are doing nothing January
I don't feel sorry for Ange.
.
With all the injuries, fatigue etc........ The scoreline was self inflicted vs Liverpool.

@randomyoutubecommenter2787 he's not a DM at all he would be able to play CB if he was he was forced to play RB at Leeds.
