Maybe you’ll win the Europa Confence next year?

 

HUGE goal from Martinelli

 

Martinelli

 

Holy shit Pepe what a goal

 

I’ve missed seeing sad opposition fans lol. Inject it.

 

Good time to score. Odd match, in that we're anything but in control, especially defensively, but we've created three or four big chances. I trust Robertson to make the final pass from the left more than Mane right now.

Chris Woods is dominating our backline. Centre backs not in tandem at all and failing to take charge of the ball in behind. Full backs in no man's land for the second ball. Doesn't help that Fabinho's been sleeping too. Need to close down Lowton a lot quicker because he's the easy outlet at right back and always free to play the diagonal to Woods.

More hopeful of us scoring a second than tightening up defensively.

 

Raul Jimenez has been given the all clear to start playing again next season albeit with a Cech-esque protective helmet. Great news.

 

We’re going to finish below West Ham and Arsenal.

I’m just exhausted with this season

 

Just like you said the defence is our biggest weakness. I'm glad Löw called up Hummels again, he and Rüdiger are probably our first choice CBs now. Süle had a pretty weak season, also due to injuries, and Ginter, while quite solid, is not good enough to start. We also only have one true RB in Klostermann.

Midfield and attack are pretty stacked, although we still don't have a true number 9. I guess the plan is to play Volland up front, which is imho the best option.

All in all I am very pleased with the selection. The only one that I would have considered is Wirtz. Seems like it was either him or Musiala and Jogi picked the latter, which is fine by me. And I bet that if Reus hadn't pulled out on his own neither of the two would have made it. And then theres also the U21-Euros and Olympics so it's good to have some talented players left for those tournaments.

 

2-0, Nat Phillips.

 

Spurs need to put me in charge of spending all the Kane money. I've done it many times of FIFA. Plenty of experience.

 

I can’t believe Leicester did it again

 

If we beat them to take away any chance of CL, getting Rodgers might be slightly more likely lol

 

He’s shown perfect Spurs pedigree the last two years managing to fall out of the top 4 anyway

 

he did win a trophy though

probably not a good fit

 

Fuck sake, we’re going to get into the Conference League aren’t we?

If so, I say we send the kids and even give it our assistant manager.

 

Not a perfect performance but we deserved the goals we scored.

Our away results in the last few months are steering us into the Champions League. Just need this one home win to confirm it.

 

Watching MOTD and how was that not a bad penalty for Villa lol?

Also, Dier is still an awful footballer

 

Just saw on reddit that today marks the 20th anniversary of the most exciting title race in Bundesliga history. For those of you who are not familiar with it, you should definitely check out this video:

 

River Plate suffered a Covid outbreak that decimated their squad.

They had to play a Copa Libertadores match with no substitutes and an injured outfield player in goal.

they won 2-1.

No goalkeeper? No problem! River Plate secure remarkable Copa win

 

Ten Hag signed a new contract like 3 weeks ago and publicly said he was staying. How's he still linked to it?

 

No clue but The Athletic is usually accurate. He also only signed a one-year extension. So maybe Ajax did it just to make it or expensive for Spurs.
