Their current XI is completely run to the ground due to injuries. They usually don't start an 18 y/o midfielder in central defense, but have been forced to do that for a number of games now.
“If you took out Liverpool’s goalkeeper, two centre-backs and a left-back — or any team other than Liverpool — they’d find it tough going as well.”
Trust me, I know. I've questioned the sustainability of Ange's system over a full season plenty of times. His poor man-management only makes it worse.
Yup, the stadium is in the shape that it is because the Glazers did not care about anything other than filling their wallets.
There were people around the club who could have sounded the alarm or made bones about it but didn’t. Looting the club was fine as long as the results were good
I do think injury is a concern but Tottenham have nothing but themselves to blame. Last year they were in a similar spot. They have injury prone CB and they used all their money to improve their attacks during the summer.
That's been happening for years. The Glazers didn't care and then as soon as that stadium maintenance debt came due they looked to sell the team and have someone else pay for it.
We were okay until after it went 1-5. At that point we just decided to stop running and save legs. 3-6 is an extremely kind score for Spuds.
I think their GD is so good primarily because of the way they play.
Oh I agree with it all, they’re a shitshow. But they’re a “should be in 6th” shitshow, not a “correctly in 10th” shitshow
5-10 cm is nothing when you’re a goalkeeper and can use your hands. David Raya is significantly shorter and much much better at claiming crosses.
So the charges are from his first year, the rest is failure to cooperate during his tenure.
So we are judging people based on their worst run of games... bold strategy.
It's not a false narrative. He had the luxury of having all-stars as super subs which saved the team many times over the years. Superior squad depth also meant that he could overcome injuries more easily.
Took a random year to compare liverpool and City, LFC had 18 players over 1000 minutes played in the league. City had 16 players. One of which is the all star Zincehnko and another was Chelsea cast off Sterling.
THE reason is financial doping. City were a small team before being bought by a petro state and getting money pumped into the team.
This is a different argument. You’re moving the goal posts. You said it was the depth they had from being able to buy “all stars bench players” and keep them fresh.
People don’t want to hear it, but SAF could have spoken against them. He knew what was going on. I know company man and all, but it should’ve been him.
Right, that's why I think the Oilers should still be starting Gretzky. Sure, he might not be playing well anymore, but it doesn't make sense to judge him only on his bad games.
