    He said this: "It's probably something you'd have to ask Eric, I don't know what you mean by tactical work. Everything we do is geared on how we are going to play our football, so for me by extension is tactical work. Whether that's on us, or whether it's on the opposition. In fact I would...

    MotM & Players' Ratings Results 23/24

    As there appears to be an appetite for it after all here's the players' ratings against Newcastle. Thanks to everyone for their input. I'll publish the seasonal averages after the NLD. Vicario won the MotM with 4 votes from Johnson with 3. Player Rating A - Newcastle 13/04/2024...

    MATCH THREAD … The NLD 28/4/24 Home

    That's good news. Whatever happens with Ange in the future the squad is shaping up really nicely. In the meantime I'm just happy to let it play out and see what develops until next season. What's a real shame is that amongst all the doom and gloom, and with the fixation on the high line and...

    👨🏼‍💼 Ange Postecoglou - Manager Thread

    To be fair to Udogie I don't think he looks 100% fit now. I think Ex mentioned in another thread he's carrying an injury. It's a brutal role he's being asked to play and particularly so for a young player in his first PL season. Earlier in the season he was covering both ends of the pitch and...

    MATCH THREAD … The NLD 28/4/24 Home

    We need to make this match a 90-minute tear up. By the time Arsenal arrive it's the last thing they will want. What impressed me most about the way Howe set Newcastle up against us was the intensity of their players all over the pitch. Not one of our players had any time on the ball and we were...

    🏆 MotM & Player Ratings v Newcastle [H-PL]

    You can rate the players objectively whilst being angry, 54. Your anger stems from the quality of performance from Ange and the players so your low ratings would be an accurate reflection of that. Anyway, to spare Ange and the players' blushes, I won't publish the results this week but I'll...

    It's interesting that you pick only Rice as the standout player from the two sides. If I was picking a best eleven from the two teams based on current form the most Tottenham players I could select is four and two of those - Udogie and Maddison - are dubious calls. Vicario White Saliba VdV...

    MATCH THREAD … The NLD 28/4/24 Home

    They still have to play Wolves (A) on Saturday and Chelsea (H) next Tuesday. And if they qualify for the semis of the CL, I believe the NLD will brought forward a day to the Saturday. They undoubtedly will have fatigue. We, on the other hand, having spent another fortnight doing nothing, will...

    MATCH THREAD v Newcastle 12-30 kick off 13/4 away

    The players are supposed to be doing that right now, TQ. Ange made it very clear early on that his role (and his team) was to provide the players with the tools and it was for them to use them on the pitch. I think he used the analogy of a teacher preparing pupils for an exam but once they were...

    MATCH THREAD v Newcastle 12-30 kick off 13/4 away

    Emery also has Villa playing a high line and they've conceded 49 goals this season - the same as us. Different system but same end result. Emery lasted less than 18 months at Arsenal. He was absolutely pilloried for his tactical naivety and tinkering even though he had been a serial winner...

    Let's sack the manager. It's the Tottenham way after all as soon as we hit a few problems. It can make us all feel good for a while until the problems start again. We can then move on to our 14th permanent manager under Enic. At least we'll have something we can match Chelsea with over the...

    🏆 MotM & Player Ratings v Newcastle [H-PL]

    No problem TQ. It's probably better for the players' seasonal averages if less posters provide their ratings today. :giggle:

    🏆 MotM & Player Ratings v Newcastle [H-PL]

    MotM - Udogie Vicario - 5. Little he could do with the goals but his distribution was poor and it caused us many problems. Pedro Porro - 5. Given a tough afternoon by Barnes. Romero - 5. Needed a much bigger performance from our vice captain. Van de Ven - 6. Second best to Isak I'm afraid...
