How the fuck has one 10 minute spell ruined our entire season
It’s those lemons…
That’s especially low coming from Poch to be putting a lemon curse on us!
Arsenal : first time ?
I mean you have played 0 mins since the match. at least let there be something to concrete (results-wise) base this on.
Lack of squad depth
The curse. Happened with us with Tomiyasu and Saliba vs Sporting. 12 minutes to ruin our title dreams
I mean look at us last year, some random 10 mins bullshit euro game decimated any hope we had at a title shot
Tottenham 🤝 Arsenal 🤝 Bottling the league due to injuries
That’s a reach to say spurs were in a position to bottle it this year. This league is City’s until it isn’t
Yeah its not a bottle for you what so ever. Dudes smoked
A bullshit euro game where we rotated half the squad to avoid injuries aswell
Mate, it’s Tottenham
What happened to QPR? They used to have a football team, right?
Sadly it’s still there.
Ah yeah, I didn’t look far enough down the table
Feel like Spurs fans knew the threat was looming because I seen a lot of “if x happens, we’re fucked”. Unfortunately x happened twice in the one match with VDV and Maddison. If anything happens to Son, prepare the eulogy.
Unfortunately X happened twice
Well yeh, X is always gon’ give It to ya.
More like “if x happened were fucked”, and then it was xxxxxxx
It do be like that. But tbh idk if this will completely ruin your season. Might be derailed for a bit but there’s still 75% of the season to go.
With the amount of games happening between now and the new year + then players leaving for afcon and asian games, that’s a big chunk of the season we’ll be missing vital players, while having fuck all depth
Becuase ye’re spurs, bottling is in your DNA
I don’t know. Ask Pogba.
Poch Voodoo
It hasn’t ruined your entire season. Spurs are still in a great position now to push for a CL place which would’ve been well above expectations at the start of the season. Even with your great start a serious title challenge was more fantasy than Lord of the Rings.
Most peoples concerns are the push for a CL place.
Lost VDV til potentially January so backlines dodgy. Lost our creative engine for ???. And that’s during a really tough run of games.
Then in January we lose Sarr/Biss who’ve been running the midfield for AFCON, and Son for the Asian cup.
Could be a really derailing run of results from here til February.
I think you’ll be alright for AFCON. Bentancur is back, Hojbjerg is hardly a slouch (and not too dissimilar to Gallagher, who Postecoglou wanted). January is a relatively nice time to lose them too, with not many PL games, no EFL cup semi, and a potentially easy FA Cup draw.
There’s also a good chance that most of your other players will be back then. Even just getting Romero back after a few games will put you back into a good position. With no Europe or EFL Cup I don’t think you’ll be in too bad a position for December.
Keep talking, I’m nearly there……
They’ve got the top 3 scoring teams in their next 5 games with a weakened backline, that sort of thing can knock confidence quite a bit.
Just imagining Saruman watching Spurs-Chelsea on the Palantir has me cracking up
It is the history of the Tottenham
just be glad it happened near the middle of the season and not near the end to ruin your whole year
The Christmas season usually makes or breaks a season
The league games in the middle of the season are worth the same as the league games at the end of the season
Happened to united last season too. Marrinez, varane and garnacho all out when firing so hot coming into the biggest games. Spuds
Those damn lemons that Poch has in his office!
Ah you’re at the ‘we got injury’s our seasons over’ stage of Ange ball. Don’t worry he’ll sign some fucking ballers in January.
BY GWAD IS THAT LO CELSO MUSIC??
9 possibly 10 games out for him and van de Ven. That’s going to hurt any club, and especially Spurs since these are among their two best players. Spurs should be looking for top four anyway and I think they can still get it what with no European football.
We were playing well, too well. Something like this was bound to happen.
Exactly why it was premature to talk about a title challenge for Spurs. Their squad is nowhere near ready.
Always sad to see a player get hurt, he was cooking for them.
I am sorry spurs fans. Fuck injuries man. They take all the promise out of a positive season.
The amount of people so gleeful about injuries for us is quite distasteful
You should see the casemiro thread.
Mate, it’s Tottenham.
Yet again the game against Chelsea has huge implications for their season
A serious miss for them.
Guess we see now how good they are!
Theres always next season.
I don’t want to speak to soon, who knows maybe somehow we beat wolves and City still. But this season was never about winning the league and the fact that it’s even discussed still amazes and excited me. Before the season started I’m pretty sure most Spurs fans would be happy with coming 6th whilst playing nice football given that we were obviously working towards something. especially now that Kane has gone
Indeed, it’s been a great start for you guys. Tbh after last season, the expectations and hope this season has just been killing me
TBF, no season for you lot is about winning the league. Finishing fourth and maybe ‘putting the pressure on’ is what you’re about
Ok?
Well seeing as we’ve been in title races I’m not sure I agree with you. Nice try though you’d probably get a good rise out of one or two people on twitter where comments like that belong
Thats ferrari motto
Maddison and injuries, no one saw that coming.
Is anyone really surprised, Isn’t this James Maddison’s M.O…
Play really well for a few weeks, then get injured for 2 months… Repeat.
How? Im looking and he averaged like 35 starts in the last 6 years around 40 games played per season. Transfermarkt says he was only injured for more than a month twice. It looks like he mostly missed England games than Leicester games.
Unfortunately yes, it is. Although I think most people were hopeful that our lack of fixture congestion this year would allow us an extended run with him.
I guess it’s now about showing the other half of the squad and seeing if Ange can get a tune out of the traditional underperformers on the bench.
Gio, Dier, Davies, etc are all going to have to step up massively, and we’ll see if Angeball works so well with a depleted squad.
On the other hand, this is an opportunity for the younglings to break into the team. Veliz will no doubt get minutes, and hopefully Ashley Phillips can get some time in the back line.
This was always going to happen. It’s sp*rs
