Barnaby…big shout out to Spence. His one v one defending against Salah (the most in form offensive player in world football at the moment) was flawless. Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t recall Mo being able to get past him even once. Several instances of Djed even bullying Mo, even outpacing him. Is he our best all-round option at fullback? Your thoughts?
Merry Christmas! Chin up .. Liverpool had a great game and our squad depth had it's trousers pulled down. I was just happy to see some spirit and effort, even at 6-3 down with 5 minutes to go .. was rather impressive. Ange in, all day long. Or at least until we're out of all cups and still in bottom half of league..
Our underlying stats are very good. Ange is doing a wonderful job. Give him players If we had bad stats then I would maybe be Ange Out Ange will make history here and you'd be simple minded if you can't see the story that's playing out
A manager wholl adjust formation and tactically to address that. We are missing 7 players 4 of whom would be starters our results have been shocking with and without a dulky fit squad
Spurs as a club knew how many games we had to play. Every team gets injuries this is on levy. More concerned with reducing the squad and wages the adding quality and preparing for the season on all fronts
This year you’ve become my favourite voice on our beloved club. You always have balance to your criticism and you’re from the same generation as me who remembers the hell of being a Spurs fan at school in the 90’s. Happy Christmas and New Year!
Barnaby Slater, n Hotspur Hippie their both a class act, theirs no flies on these 2, not like the other podcasts , where you can see were the flies have been, cheers merry Christmas from Aus,
The high press and inverted fullbacks do leave a lot of running for the players to do but tbh Liverpool’s pressing looked far much more effective and intense than ours 🤷♂️
The start of last season, porro was playing in the form of his life I reckon thats because it was one game a week and we didnt need much rotation But now with thursday night matches, porro never seems to be able to do the job at right back anymore... hopefully we get a leftback so spence can become a committed right back backup for porro😊
They have a fully fit squad. Only 1 or 2 of their starting eleven played against Southampton in their midweek game. Spurs played the same eleven that played against Man United on the Thursday. Spurs players running on empty.
What if Ange is really an evil creative genius and he signed these young players knowing they wouldn't be ready, training them hard to make sure everyone is tired and sore but still staying in the cups & therefor he is unlikely to be sacked AND Levy would be forced to splash the cash in January to get first team signings and the young guys got lots of minutes? He could just be a level above us all! Brilliant!
When I first started following Spurs, I followed Spurred On (it was called that a long time ago, too, yes?). I can't remember all of your mates on the show (although one whose name I can't recall pops up on the True Geordie podcast now and then). I was devoted to the post-match reviews and interviews. it seemed very sudden how the show just disappeared. Did you ever explain what happened? I'm curious, although maybe it's a personal matter. At any rate, it was so nice to see you pop up again after what seemed like years on We Are Tottenham TV, etc. You've become a "go to" channel for me...again. Thanks for all your work and dedication! Happy holidays!
Thanks mate. Presenters were Craig Mitch and Rhys James. Smithy (Adam Smith) from Sky Sports was also with us for a time. The company who funded the channel pulled out one day and that was that sadly. Happy times though!
3:19 Hell no. I could be wrong, but Bergvall does not seem to be ready yet. Gray looks far more the experienced player. He [LB] has very wonderful crosses though i will say that I am not suggesting a loan, but he just doesn't seem ready. Maybe he'll warm up with more game time
bergvall put in a good shift against soton though, rangers and united as well when he was subbed on. we need all the depth we can get anyways, and starting bergvall will help him get the experience he doesnt have already
@@emperor_von_doughnuts339Yes ofc I agree. Any player higher than the calibre of Werner will do, more so when it goes to actual developing players I suddenly think he will come good LB
Good to know that you have got a channel to be a host. You are a great host and really sensible person and you know when to criticize and when to point out the positives.
What are you talking about? I've supported Spurs from the 60's and we've had Levy & ENIC for 24 years and they've done bugger all on the pitch. Great at making himself and the other share holders loads of profit for when they sell, but won't break the wage structure to sign the quality of player needed. The sooner Levy and ENIC get out of our club the better. As for his interview, it's Simon Jordan who's a friend of Levy, Levy will know and have all the answers to all the questions. It's all designed to get the fans back on his side. It's a bit too late for that, we want him OUT.
Barnaby you have such a great heart and measured mind. Sunday was always going to happen. Liverpool at the top of their game. Spurs with a skeleton squad. When we're this light it is impossible to gain any momentum with players covering non-preferred positions. We need a deep, healthy squad before Ange can embed his style of play with consistency let alone having the luxury of players competing with each other for starting positions and game time. When that happens you'll see 90 minute matches the likes of the first half v Brighton, thumping Villa and City. It's coming.
One of my major issues at this moment with spurs is that we give the ball away far to easily and make such stupid passes sometimes,just bad decisions being made by players.
I'd be recalling Gil from his loan and triggering that Cardoso clause. Together with Yang that gives an extra 3 players to utilise for little spend. Johnson and Deki could be used more at CF to give Dom a respite and Biss plus Benta used more at AM/CM.
I’ve always said Deki would be an excellent deputy at CF. Also, Ashley Philips needs to be another recall consideration if a LCB can not be purchased in the window. Mickey VdeV can also be rotated at LFB if needed. I believe Ange tried that early this season. Would be an easy tactical shift to a back 3 with Radu in the middle under certain game situations…oh right, Ange don’t do tactics 😉 Actually he does, subtle as they are, most of us don’t acknowledge it.
@WalterBasic-ef9ts MVDV is potentially a good LB, but given he's played there & done his hamstring twice in that position, he is a permanent CB to me.
Let’s be honest at least it wasn’t a clean sheet for Liverpool and most of these players we have right now are injured and I think we don’t deserve to be sitting 11th
The only way to a relegation fight, Liverpool took their foot off the gas, soon as we scored they scored, even after the Maddison goal the team couldn't even hold on for half time, it was light work for them and an easy 3 points.
I’m all onboard for Ange to stay, just hope he is more pragmatic moving forward when they play the second game off the week. You can’t burn your players out. Let teams come to you more, the players aren’t robots, especially with all the injuries
Gk position sorted for 5 years what keepers u been watching. Vic is a decent shot stopper unfortunately he's to much of a powder puff. He couldn't catch a cold and all opposition players love a corner against him. Simply put not good enough. We need a first choice keeper.
lol I told you once you calmed down you would see the game for what it really was! Merry Xmas Barnaby have a happy new year and Hopefully the new year brings what we need.
Good content as always Barnaby , have a great Christmas . Was watching Porro near the end of the match and looked like he was running in treacle . Which was leaving Dragusin very exposed . Spence and Gray in general played quite well together considering neither were in there correct position . The protest as you said was maybe 50 or 100 with a lot of people looking on slightly bemused . To be honest I am not sure what they are trying to achieve ! Getting in players in January is very difficult , you are looking for players that clubs don't want . Like we picked up Bentancur and Deki .
i reckon all of these lads who are talking about sacking ange due to his tactics hav eprobably played football manager and decided theyre football tactical know how is on par with guardiola 😂😂😂
It doesn't take a genius to figure out his tactics, that's why the team can't keep clean sheets, trying to outscore the opposition every game with no defensive awareness is not going to work in the Premier League.
Levy to blame no in vestment in quality players cleared out all the dead woods never replaced it Replaced with a few youngsters, bold have a big decision to make in January we are paying in trouble
I was at the game. The protest was a very small group, no one else wanted to join. Chants were half hearted. No difference to before. Some people involved are trying to talk it up. Lies.
When I hear bloggers, as well intentioned as they are, postulating on strategy and positioning of players, the question always comes to mind, why aren't these people managing their own teams in the PL? Come on BS, you can do better. Leave the managing for the managers.
If Godfrey hasn't played or improved than why the heck are we getting him...that's our biggest problem why we can't win anything because we are so cheap...without QUALITY PLAYERS we will struggle every season...we need to STOP buying players that don't start for their current side it's a flipping joke
Liverpool was the best ive seen them play this year,,they were clinical ,no other team comes close to liverpool,so just have patience,but liverpool cd rest players plus rotate many,and they had 1 more days rest,these are excuses,but spurs need depth
We can now say spurs are not competing but rather participating . While everyone is coping with adjusting /investing as they go year on year , SPURS ARE ON A,PROJECT 😂 we will be competing in 5 years time. Slot has slotted in and no requirement for a project . Where do we get these buzz words ...... Managers only stay as long as there results justify. This idea that sours,fans are insisting that keep Ange at all costs is laughable, Even.more ridiculous that there are no managers available.... Didnt utd quietly recruit a top euro manager......
It's not that there are no managers available at all, it's that the good ones won't necessarily come mid-season. The reason why Slot has done well is that the Liverpool board looked at a bunch of managers and decided on him based on their belief his tactics/style would best suit the current set of players they had and it wasn't a drastic and totally alien style from Klopp. If Spurs do decide to get rid of Ange then they need to do something similar. It's pointless hiring a flavour of the month manager if it means Spurs would need to sell and buy loads of players to fit their style. I'm okay with giving Ange until he goes out of the cups and probably just getting rid of at the end of the season. But the board/Lange need to use that data set-up they've implemented to find the right manager. Obviously they are going for youth at the moment and seemingly are buying 3-4 18-year olds per season with one or 2 proven Premier League players per season so we need a manager who can develop youngsters. Iraola at Bournemouth seems like a decent appointment possibly as he's done it in the Premier League for a couple of years now and has improved his players and some of them are relatively young like the CB Huseein (or however you spell it) Also, he's worked with Solanke and got the best out of him so it seems like he'd do well with this squad, I'd rather give Ange until the end of the season so we can properly line-up the right manager for next year rather than scramble about for someone just for the sake of getting someone in
If we can't get a good replacement what's the point of sacking Ange even if he does lose the next 3. Could Ryan Mason do any better with these players and injuries? Let's see if we can get any decent transfers in January
Everyone is a bit toxic at the moment. We have at least 7 players 24 & under that are key starters or squad players, not including Moore, Yang, Odobert, Langshear or the loan players & inbound Vuskovic. We are banging in goals for fun & playing in Europe. Whether Ange can get through this period or not, the future is bright.
We could finish the season strong,, ang could be vindicated, I'm relaxed about the way things are, i don't want another rebuild new manager we do have to get out of this cycle of sack and suck. and just see if it will come good, and yes i am aware we could tighten things up at the back.
Ange is finished and it's time for fans to wake up and stop being in denial, there's no consistency in the team also with results, players are being run into the ground because of the non stop running back they have to do with that pathetic high line. Going into each game fans don't even think we are going to win, how many can say we will 100% beat Nottingham Forest without a long thought? If we lose to them Ange should be sacked and stop prolonging the inevitable because he would have got beaten by Nuno who the club was quick to sack.
ANGE is a one style manager and very stubborn on this , he did well at Celtic but let’s be honest it’s an easier league than the premier Also we don’t have depth in the squad even if all the players where fit In my opinion his style of play has more chance of getting us relegated than too 4 !!
Lol...as if a player of that calibre would join a midtable club going nowhere fast. It's the usual codswallop put out by the club's PR machine whenever the heat's on the owner's
Barnaby you look stressed out don't let football be your everything at the end of the day it's just a game...we talk about our team & club on how we would want them to perform buying players etc...but at the end of the day it's up to the hierarchy...the only thing we can do for change is to boycott the ground...then we will see things change...apart from that nothing will change.
Neutral fan, so views are subjective on my part. Don’t agree with all you say re spurs, but do talk a lot of sense. Backhand compliment I know but keep up good work fella 👍👍
Good point but Ange never considers defense, he just likes that Porro is a better crosser than Royal but can't seem to care that Royal is the vastly superior defender.
Hanko wants to win trophies and like you rightly say at spurs we are not planning to compete till 2029 , why would he or any ambitious player choose us ?😂
Mourinho was in the FINAL of the Carabao cup and Levy fired him . If Ange loses the next 2 league games , and I expect Wolves to beat us again at WHL , he’s a goner .
Ange, unless he wins a cup in 2025, he should be fired. He is too rigid and has failed to manage with the limited resources he has available. Also his style and system is adding to the injury list. Look at Spence, he has been brilliant since coming in, why has it taken so long for us to use him? Instead flogging Porro and Destiny to death! What is wrong with bringing back loan players? Namely Manor Solomon and Ashley Phillips? A winger and a centre back.. Ange is totally inflexible. In the summer go all out to get Andoni Iraola from Bournmouth.
I would sack Ange now and go and get Harry Redknapp on a care taker basis. He is available, he would have an immediate impact, the football would be fantastic but he wouldn’t neglect the defence. And he would also give us a real chance of winning a cup. Chelsea brought back Guus Hiddink to stabilise to the end of the season, so why couldn’t we do something similar. Then at the end of the season go get Andoni Iraola. The only problem of course is as usual Daniel Levy. If anyone has a better idea I would like to hear it. The penny needs to drop… Ange is not a Premier League manager. His win percentage is now 45%. He lacks the flexibility and adaptability needed at this level. We are now a laughing stock that is not just getting beat but getting pumped. I have had enough of the excuses especially the injuries. Ange has flogged them to death. Then rushed players back only for them to break down and be out for longer. He has to go, we can still salvage something if we act now. After we are pumped at Forest will people finally wake up. Ange sees “growth” In this team.. What does that actually mean? Absolutely nothing.
Spurs were a laughing stock *long* before Ange took over. Don't blame him. He's trying to make Spurs a respected club but we'd need a clean out of the soft supporters. Looking at you and your kind kid.
Barnaby, with all fue respect, tge biggest downfall to Spurs cause is this business of going for cheap options. This Godfrey guy is not good enough, this's why he's not being played in Italy. Spurs must go past this business of jumping for cheap optiobs otherwise we'll never compete! Go for Branthwaite instead!
On the Simon Jordan interview, he tends to put on his business man hat when talking about Levy. Not quite sure how the interview will go, but it might be more friendly than normal. Keep in mind, Simon used to own a football club and so he may come into it a bit more sympathetic than we think. Simon Jordan is one of those guys I can slightly agree with at weird times , strongly disagree with him a good chunk of the time, and pretty much hate overall to the point he was one of the main reasons (but not the only reason) I eventually couldn’t listen to TalkSport.
Get Ashley Phillips back from Stoke before even thinking @bout Ben Godfrey….we need a MF general to replace Madison who goes missing in high tempo aggressive games like Liverpool…yes he scored a goal but otherwise invisible jogging around like Kane and providing no defensive help…. I would move Kulu centrally and play Bergvhal in place of Madison with Johnson on the right and Bentancour instead of Bissouma…if Udogie is fit play Spence as RB as Porro has been hapless in the last many games…whatever, even I’d we lose all 3 of the next games, do not sack AP…
A 10 is almost never the midfield general, it’s the dm. I think bentancur can be that guy, he’s aggressive always running and available for the ball. I like Bissouma but he’s sloppy sometimes and at times you forget he’s even on the pitch.
TOTTENHAM WILL FIGHT FOR RELEGATION THIS YEAR. RECRUITMENT FAILED THEY BROUGHT PLAYERS OF FUTURE. I CAN'T SEE TOTTENHAM WIN AT FOREST. THEY FAILED TO REPLACE KANE WITH 100 MILLION STRIKER, ERRICKSON AND SON OLD WE NEED ANTOINE SEMENYO.
We'll see after the interview but you've left out some important context, Jordan and Levy are friendly, they speak, so it could well be a matey propaganda piece. At this point I'm seriously concerned that people don't have issues with his stewardship of the club. Happy Xmas.
Barney your height obsession is bizarre. Hugo Lloris and cassillas are both "only" 6 foot 2 and were both amazing keepers If you love height we should keep Forster as he's 6 foot 7 or buy muric at Ipswich both of whom are not very good let's be real. Height isnt everything.
Gravenberch said they targeted the right side of our defence as a tactic. What do we target? It's always rinse and repeat regardless of opposition, fitness, match ups etc.
It will all be fine,a rocky road but patients ,and just for the record il only thumbs up or down after watching video not before,I hate being told what to do,every RUclips video is exactly the same 😂🤣😂🤣😂 we are not children,
Lol bissouma and sarr weren’t in position? Nah you dont say. Could it be cuz ange bombs 10 forward. Oh wait is that how vdv and romero tore their stuff? Seriously you are a puppet.
I reckon we'd do well to get a point against Forest due to our tiredness, but I am more hopefull of 3 points at home to Wolves and even Newcastle (thank heavens that is not an away game). My main hope for the New Year is that we have FEWER injuries (not 'less' injuries Barnaby!). All the best.
BARNABY ARE YOU ARE A SPURS FAN OR AN.ANGE FANATIC ..... REMEMBERS SPURS BEEN AROUND SINCE 1882 ..😂😂😂😂 All of a sudden Tottenham Hotspur are now second to Ange in their own HOME 😂😂😂
Kulu should be quiet and score more goals, the amount of times our forward runs break down because he holds on to the ball too long. 17 games now and only 5 goals? Score 10 goals in 17 games and then come back and talk to us. Maddison is only a bit part player now and he's got 8 goals and 4 assists even though he's working with very average forwards
Barnaby…big shout out to Spence. His one v one defending against Salah (the most in form offensive player in world football at the moment) was flawless. Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t recall Mo being able to get past him even once. Several instances of Djed even bullying Mo, even outpacing him. Is he our best all-round option at fullback? Your thoughts?
I say he should be starting over Porro. Defends better, is quicker and can retain the ball and pick out a pass
@@sebseb8643 100%. Porro is one on the block or late in games at best. There will be others.
I believe Spence is our best full back all round but Ange just doesn't seem to like him
It just baffles me as to why Djed Spence was never being given game time and also why he was left out of the Europa squad!
@@alexsibanda6390 Me too but I think there were character issues with him and Ange doesn't tolerate them.
Merry Christmas! Chin up .. Liverpool had a great game and our squad depth had it's trousers pulled down. I was just happy to see some spirit and effort, even at 6-3 down with 5 minutes to go .. was rather impressive. Ange in, all day long.

You can't sack a manager who is playing with half a squad 2 times a week. It shows nothing of his ability and where the team is going.
Our underlying stats are very good. Ange is doing a wonderful job. Give him players
If we had bad stats then I would maybe be Ange Out
Ange will make history here and you'd be simple minded if you can't see the story that's playing out

This Hanko player sounds interesting, he can play across the backline! Ben Godfrey has no quality as a player.
Liverpool was the best ive seen them play this year,,they were clinical ,no other team comes close to liverpool,so just have patience,but liverpool cd rest players plus rotate many,and they had 1 more days rest,these are excuses,but spurs need depth
We can now say spurs are not competing but rather participating .
While everyone is coping with adjusting /investing as they go year on year , SPURS ARE ON A,PROJECT 😂 we will be competing in 5 years time.
Slot has slotted in and no requirement for a project . Where do we get these buzz words ......
Managers only stay as long as there results justify. This idea that sours,fans are insisting that keep Ange at all costs is laughable, Even.more ridiculous that there are no managers available....
Didnt utd quietly recruit a top euro manager......
It's not that there are no managers available at all, it's that the good ones won't necessarily come mid-season. The reason why Slot has done well is that the Liverpool board looked at a bunch of managers and decided on him based on their belief his tactics/style would best suit the current set of players they had and it wasn't a drastic and totally alien style from Klopp. If Spurs do decide to get rid of Ange then they need to do something similar. It's pointless hiring a flavour of the month manager if it means Spurs would need to sell and buy loads of players to fit their style.
I'm okay with giving Ange until he goes out of the cups and probably just getting rid of at the end of the season. But the board/Lange need to use that data set-up they've implemented to find the right manager. Obviously they are going for youth at the moment and seemingly are buying 3-4 18-year olds per season with one or 2 proven Premier League players per season so we need a manager who can develop youngsters. Iraola at Bournemouth seems like a decent appointment possibly as he's done it in the Premier League for a couple of years now and has improved his players and some of them are relatively young like the CB Huseein (or however you spell it) Also, he's worked with Solanke and got the best out of him so it seems like he'd do well with this squad, I'd rather give Ange until the end of the season so we can properly line-up the right manager for next year rather than scramble about for someone just for the sake of getting someone in
If we can't get a good replacement what's the point of sacking Ange even if he does lose the next 3. Could Ryan Mason do any better with these players and injuries? Let's see if we can get any decent transfers in January
Fatigue in the body? Fatigue in the heads? Or fatigue in this approach? Or is the coached fatigued. IMO something isnt working out
Everyone is a bit toxic at the moment.
We have at least 7 players 24 & under that are key starters or squad players, not including Moore, Yang, Odobert, Langshear or the loan players & inbound Vuskovic. We are banging in goals for fun & playing in Europe.
Whether Ange can get through this period or not, the future is bright.
Barnaby, it’s Guglielmo Vicario. Not Guillermo.
I will inevitably get this wrong again; but will endeavour not to lol
We could finish the season strong,, ang could be vindicated, I'm relaxed about the way things are, i don't want another rebuild new manager we do have to get out of this cycle of sack and suck. and just see if it will come good, and yes i am aware we could tighten things up at the back.
Ange is finished and it's time for fans to wake up and stop being in denial, there's no consistency in the team also with results, players are being run into the ground because of the non stop running back they have to do with that pathetic high line. Going into each game fans don't even think we are going to win, how many can say we will 100% beat Nottingham Forest without a long thought? If we lose to them Ange should be sacked and stop prolonging the inevitable because he would have got beaten by Nuno who the club was quick to sack.
It’s 3 games in a week , not 2 .
ANGE is a one style manager and very stubborn on this , he did well at Celtic but let’s be honest it’s an easier league than the premier Also we don’t have depth in the squad even if all the players where fit In my opinion his style of play has more chance of getting us relegated than too 4 !!
Lol...as if a player of that calibre would join a midtable club going nowhere fast. It's the usual codswallop put out by the club's PR machine whenever the heat's on the owner's
Barnaby you look stressed out don't let football be your everything at the end of the day it's just a game...we talk about our team & club on how we would want them to perform buying players etc...but at the end of the day it's up to the hierarchy...the only thing we can do for change is to boycott the ground...then we will see things change...apart from that nothing will change.
Sign gk, 2 cb, lb and cdm
Neutral fan, so views are subjective on my part. Don’t agree with all you say re spurs, but do talk a lot of sense. Backhand compliment I know but keep up good work fella 👍👍
I’ll take that! Thanks and merry Christmas mate
@ I’m good friend with Brian Dagul, he’ll know who I am. Merry Christmas to you as well
We should have kept Emerson Royal. He was a better defender than Porro and we sure could use him right about now.
Good point but Ange never considers defense, he just likes that Porro is a better crosser than Royal but can't seem to care that Royal is the vastly superior defender.
C'mon.. keeping royal?? 😂😂😂
Nonsense
simon jordan is friends with levy i believe
Why dont we see about chahaon kellagher of liverpool
Hanko wants to win trophies and like you rightly say at spurs we are not planning to compete till 2029 , why would he or any ambitious player choose us ?😂
Mourinho was in the FINAL of the Carabao cup and Levy fired him . If Ange loses the next 2 league games , and I expect Wolves to beat us again at WHL , he’s a goner .
Ange, unless he wins a cup in 2025, he should be fired. He is too rigid and has failed to manage with the limited resources he has available. Also his style and system is adding to the injury list. Look at Spence, he has been brilliant since coming in, why has it taken so long for us to use him? Instead flogging Porro and Destiny to death! What is wrong with bringing back loan players? Namely Manor Solomon and Ashley Phillips? A winger and a centre back.. Ange is totally inflexible. In the summer go all out to get Andoni Iraola from Bournmouth.
I would sack Ange now and go and get Harry Redknapp on a care taker basis.
He is available, he would have an immediate impact, the football would be fantastic but he wouldn’t neglect the defence.
And he would also give us a real chance of winning a cup.
Chelsea brought back Guus Hiddink to stabilise to the end of the season, so why couldn’t we do something similar.
Then at the end of the season go get Andoni Iraola.
The only problem of course is as usual Daniel Levy.
If anyone has a better idea I would like to hear it.
The penny needs to drop…
Ange is not a Premier League manager.
His win percentage is now 45%. He lacks the flexibility and adaptability needed at this level.
We are now a laughing stock that is not just getting beat but getting pumped.
I have had enough of the excuses especially the injuries.
Ange has flogged them to death. Then rushed players back only for them to break down and be out for longer.
He has to go, we can still salvage something if we act now.
After we are pumped at Forest will people finally wake up.
Ange sees “growth”
In this team..
What does that actually mean?
Absolutely nothing.
Spurs were a laughing stock *long* before Ange took over. Don't blame him. He's trying to make Spurs a respected club but we'd need a clean out of the soft supporters. Looking at you and your kind kid.
Barnaby, with all fue respect, tge biggest downfall to Spurs cause is this business of going for cheap options. This Godfrey guy is not good enough, this's why he's not being played in Italy. Spurs must go past this business of jumping for cheap optiobs otherwise we'll never compete! Go for Branthwaite instead!
On the Simon Jordan interview, he tends to put on his business man hat when talking about Levy. Not quite sure how the interview will go, but it might be more friendly than normal. Keep in mind, Simon used to own a football club and so he may come into it a bit more sympathetic than we think. Simon Jordan is one of those guys I can slightly agree with at weird times , strongly disagree with him a good chunk of the time, and pretty much hate overall to the point he was one of the main reasons (but not the only reason) I eventually couldn’t listen to TalkSport.
You speak with the courage of your convictions
Call me crazy, but I don't mind the result. We weren't winning anyway, and at least we got 3 goals.
Barnaby it’s not about hanging on to the top 6 but trying to stop going into the bottom 6
Get Ashley Phillips back from Stoke before even thinking @bout Ben Godfrey….we need a MF general to replace Madison who goes missing in high tempo aggressive games like Liverpool…yes he scored a goal but otherwise invisible jogging around like Kane and providing no defensive help…. I would move Kulu centrally and play Bergvhal in place of Madison with Johnson on the right and Bentancour instead of Bissouma…if Udogie is fit play Spence as RB as Porro has been hapless in the last many games…whatever, even I’d we lose all 3 of the next games, do not sack AP…
A 10 is almost never the midfield general, it’s the dm. I think bentancur can be that guy, he’s aggressive always running and available for the ball. I like Bissouma but he’s sloppy sometimes and at times you forget he’s even on the pitch.
Spurs should get skrinear now just for experience and holding us together,
Sounds familiar..
TOTTENHAM WILL FIGHT FOR RELEGATION THIS YEAR. RECRUITMENT FAILED THEY BROUGHT PLAYERS OF FUTURE. I CAN'T SEE TOTTENHAM WIN AT FOREST. THEY FAILED TO REPLACE KANE WITH 100 MILLION STRIKER, ERRICKSON AND SON OLD WE NEED ANTOINE SEMENYO.
Forest 3 Spurs 2
We'll see after the interview but you've left out some important context, Jordan and Levy are friendly, they speak, so it could well be a matey propaganda piece.
At this point I'm seriously concerned that people don't have issues with his stewardship of the club.
Happy Xmas.
How much does Daniel greedy pay you would love 2 know 😊
Has anyone with a more than half a team put 3 past pool this season?
Putting 3 past them doesn't matter if you concede 6 🙄
Barney your height obsession is bizarre. Hugo Lloris and cassillas are both "only" 6 foot 2 and were both amazing keepers If you love height we should keep Forster as he's 6 foot 7 or buy muric at Ipswich both of whom are not very good let's be real. Height isnt everything.
You mean Rudiger or Tah is coming to Tottenham ? 😂
Gravenberch said they targeted the right side of our defence as a tactic. What do we target? It's always rinse and repeat regardless of opposition, fitness, match ups etc.
Porros defending always an issue... Spence & Udogie is a must
Pity Nuno wasn’t backed the way Ange has been.
I cant blame ang fully, the injurys defo aint helping and its not a excuse its FACTS,
GARY O'Neil is out of a job isn't he?
To much Christmas brandy mate
It will all be fine,a rocky road but patients ,and just for the record il only thumbs up or down after watching video not before,I hate being told what to do,every RUclips video is exactly the same 😂🤣😂🤣😂 we are not children,
Why?😂
Lol bissouma and sarr weren’t in position? Nah you dont say. Could it be cuz ange bombs 10 forward. Oh wait is that how vdv and romero tore their stuff? Seriously you are a puppet.
I reckon we'd do well to get a point against Forest due to our tiredness, but I am more hopefull of 3 points at home to Wolves and even Newcastle (thank heavens that is not an away game). My main hope for the New Year is that we have FEWER injuries (not 'less' injuries Barnaby!). All the best.
We need to play a CDM I know Ange doesn't play one it would help the defence
We will buy Cardoso with that option we have on him
No other team has had this run of injuries, Ange is doing a great job considering. Levy needs to back him in Jan and the summer window…
How many times have fans wanted levy to really back managers but it just hasn't happened
"BIG NAME" small mentality
BARNABY ARE YOU ARE A SPURS FAN OR AN.ANGE FANATIC .....
REMEMBERS SPURS BEEN AROUND SINCE 1882 ..😂😂😂😂
All of a sudden Tottenham Hotspur are now second to Ange in their own HOME 😂😂😂
When we were last winning trophies regularly we sometimes played 3 times a week with a much smaller squad. I didn't hear Burkinshaw complaining.
probably because the internet wasn't invented yet
Kulu should be quiet and score more goals, the amount of times our forward runs break down because he holds on to the ball too long. 17 games now and only 5 goals? Score 10 goals in 17 games and then come back and talk to us. Maddison is only a bit part player now and he's got 8 goals and 4 assists even though he's working with very average forwards
Spurs are pants
Levy out .
Levy out B4 the next manager out. Levy is the ultimate loser Chairman.
