Tottenham Hotspur Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 25/26

The performance and heart we wanted to see. Do this every game and relegation talk will soon disappear.

That was a great performance with plenty of fight and running.
Makes such a change and hopefully we can do that against Forrest on Sunday.

A win, players back, some intensity, even some invention. Play like that in the league and we willl be alright.

Watched it on TNT.

What did he say?

good win. Good performance. We could have said ‘what if’ if tel had made it 2 nil but I think it best to concentrate on the job that needs to be done in the PL.

Hope we give Forrest a lesson. Stick it to MGW.

Dunne was not impressed. He said that Atletico were only half interested and Romero and VdV were all over the place defensively doing their own thing.

Personally I have always thought pushing up a central defender is something modern defences don’t cope with very well and in a near dead rubber, it’s worth a punt. We do need to fire in crosses when they are up there though. The endless third rate Pep tribute act of working it back to a keeper who dreads having the ball at his feet makes zero sense. Muani scored one and should have had another from quick crosses.

Dunne sounded like a gooner or someone whose accumulater just died after he told the pub the next round was on him.

I suppose we will know on Sunday if we turned a corner or it was just lads auditioning for sunnier climes. I have to say I had no idea Spence could track back at the speed he hit when snuffing out the late break.

I was 100% Tudor out until kick off last night.

Now im more 50-50. Its hard to know what percentage of the last two games is down to Tudor and what's down to the players actually realising they needed to get us out of this ****.

As per the point made above, the next game is a completely different kettle of fish.

thanks, I meant to respond

Vicario to Inter for 17mill at the end of the season.... ?

First of many id say

True ...

Is it a 'good time' to be releasing/leaking these things though ?

The squad is unsettled enough without lads deciding to fcuk off .... shows how much they care i suppose ? Not surprising.

No thanks it's time to buy a experienced competent goalkeeper.

Yeah, wishing Danny all the best. He's an excellent host on VFTL and a real passionate Spurs man.

We really messed up by skimping on paying the asking price for Raya and pivoting to the cheaper Vicario. A familiar story across the pitch. How many average, mid-priced RB's did we buy trying to replace Walker and Trippier? Doherty, Aurier, Emerson off the top of my head. Spence took time to become a usable player, and Porro is good, but far from perfect. Buy cheap, buy again (and again).

For a supposed leader in the squad, Vicario's attitude is horrendous. Always pointing the finger of blame elsewhere for his howlers, usually roaring at a younger player (Bergvall, Gray).

it’s confusing if the minor op will be after the Forrest match. We have 3 weeks off. We need him for the Forrest match imo

You could not make this injury stuff up anymore, I know these days a hernia op is considered small but FFS.
