Scouting for strikers is very easy. You take active (more than 600mins) centre-forwards from the top 9 leagues. Rule out anyone that costs more than €80m or is older than 28. Then you work your way through the tape going "Wow, these guys re all bums"

Where did it all go wrong for Tottenham Hotspur? ✏️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BNc...

35 of our 41 points this season (85%) came from games in which Rodrigo Bentancur played. Owed an apology by Spurs fans and, genuinely in my opinion, has a very strong argument for player of the season.

...

Palhinha dropping out mainly left side today, when it's been right (to give Porro freedom) previously.

Did Chelsea break Spurs’ Press? 🧐

No matter what happens on the last day it's fair to say that De Zerbi has done his part (and also that coaching is real, matters, etc.)

Game state definitely flatters Spurs' share of the chances in this game but man is it easy to feel hard done by... everything this season.

Bit of hesitancy from backline players costing us here. If you're going to press a team of this technical quality high you have to commit, can't be giving them their first touch for free.

grr

Another statistically very strong defensive (via control) performance right up until the moment Tel kicked Ampadu in the head for no real reason.

This week's In Focus is Xavi Simons' performance vs Brighton: www.patreon.com/posts/in-foc...

No graphic because I'm on way to the stadium (for what just absolutely has to be Spurs first good PL performance this calendar year) but I guess that's Gallagher 10, Xavi LW. ... is that... is that James Maddison on the bench, like, *the* James Maddison?

Marco Senesi Very nice passer of the ball, lacks the athleticism to be an especially good high-line defender. If we stay up but recruit the likes of Senesi and Robertson we'll be right back in this mess again next year.

Discussed on this week's episode of @theextrainch.bsky.social

For just a moment there I thought we might be alright.

De Zerbi's training session youtube videos are more fun to watch that the previous two coaches' matches.

Seen some speculation repeated along the lines of "Surely De Zerbi won't be trying to coach his system, and trying to get Spurs to play his technically-intense way with only 7 games"

(Introducing Team Polars) A strong consistency of style, as you would expect, for De Zerbi between Brighton and Marseille. With the latter operating at a bigger talent advantage vs their league.

One nasty dickhead is going to dirty my club further by hiring another and we're not even going to get the trade-off of the team being any good.

The ol' De Zerbi/Dyche coaching profile. My club is very smart.

If we were going to come back from the Int. break with a fully fit James Maddison or maybe Kulusevski to join Mo Kudus I would be able to tell you that I'm confident in Spurs' ability to stay up, but that's just not where we are at. I do not know how you can fix this.

Great fight, intensity, determination. Spurs winning the territory, duels and attacking with both intent and numbers but... plagued by the lack of technical and creative ability that has undermined their whole season.

For now at least, Spurs making Tudor's man-marking scheme work; getting the better of the midfield duels. Not an easy task given that Elliot Anderson... might be the best central midfielder in the league now?

#COYS #THFC #TOTNFO He keeps putting out what is obviously a back three on paper but then is actually a 4-4-2 in practice, and I'm not falling for it any more.

Tudor says Mohammed Kudus could be back with the squad in 10 days. That will be huge for us.

#COYS #THFC #TOTATM (Romero and Dragusin may be switched)

Whether he reaches his full potential or not, Archie Gray has proven he will always be very useful to have in your squad.

Pod out now for xSubs. In the morning for everyone else. Discussed on this episode:

A hard fought point

Yeah, started working on this recently too. There's an argument to make that we urgently, urgently need a such dramatic turnover in this squad that is only possible with relegation.

The shape of our XI today if, as the fans requested, the coach simply put the players in their preferred positions

🎗️ Colorectal cancer sucks. It changes thousands of lives every year. One of our own, @george-miller.org, was diagnosed a few years ago. This CRC awareness month, a few of us decided to call on the Spurs community to help us raise funds for @ccalliance.bsky.social in Dustin’s honor. #COYS

As much as he's not had a single functional XI to work with I don't think Tudor is giving us anything positive tactically. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I do actually think a 'vibes' coach like Ryan Mason might be the better option at this point.

🤷

I am learning that slipping is a frequent issue (including for Atleti players) at the Wanda and was significant in their 4-0 win v Barca last month in the cup.
