Shaved mine off on the basis I can wear a hat when leaving the house for the foreseeable future! West Ham Spurs has been a good game. Not looking good for Spurs for a top 4 or even top 6 place but wouldn't put it past them winning the League Cup or Europa League this season.

Yes, they've had some rotten luck with injuries, but they've never got on with it, constantly moaning and complaining about how unfair everything is. Very negative mindset since the Van Dijk injury and it's all become a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy. Poor squad management too. Going into the season with three senior Cbs (one who is a crock) was always risky. They then wait until the last minute to get in some replacements; one from Preston and the other from rock bottom Schalke. very true. They went OTT over that injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he came across as quite likeable I didn't but have heard it was fairly positive for him. I have seen other lengthy interviews with him and read about some of the stuff he does away from the game and he does seem like a decent bloke. To be fair when I played football at times I was a totally different person on the pitch to what I am like normally and can understand how the intensity of the job could make him act differently. I think he has lost some of the sparkle that made him the self proclaimed special one though, he hasn't reached the heights of what he achieved at Porto, 1st spell at Chelsea and at Inter since the Real Madrid job.

SiJ Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Think Jose has failed to really evolve. I don't know, perhaps his brand of football can still be successful, but it won't be with this Spurs side. He needs a world class goalkeeper, world class cbs and central midfielders - he has none of those. Also helps when you have players all over the park who can chip in with a goal or create a chance. He's got two players who can score and create goals - Kane and Son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 City look unstoppable. Seriously, that Cancelo fella. He's done more in midfield (from fullback) than most Wednesday midfielders (bar Lee and a few others) has done in about two decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on the defensive minded players as well, none of them would be sought after by top 4 sides. The squad does have other goal scorers, Bale, Lamela, Dele Alli, Moura - but like you say, none of them will fit into a Mourinho system regularly.

Sign of where Arsenal are at that they will get a pat on the back for only losing 1-0 at home to City while the reality was they were beaten by a side that didn't need to exert themselves for around an hour. Finished outside the top 6 twice in 22 seasons under Wenger with 6th their worst finish in his last season. 8th last season and will do well to finish above that this season.

I remember seeing players hit with retrospective bans for diving but, haven’t seen it for a long time. The Salah one against Everton this evening was pathetic. Time to role this back out. The rule comes in if a player successfully deceives the officials and it leads to a penalty or dismissal, so in theory it’s not needed now that we have VAR. However, in practice it really is needed, but that’s more down to the failure of officials to use VAR correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a few others on here at the time I said he’d be a good choice as manager for us. But some felt he was an awful manager.
