Hello, hello, hello.Welcome to another episode of New Spurs Order.Today, I will be your host, Tops, a.k.a.Booker T, and I bring with me three somewhat merry men from the NSO group.What are we saying, guys?Yao, you good?
Yeah, I'm good.I can't wait to actually discuss all things Spurs. or some people to attack.It's been a good week.
Always good to have you on.Always good to have you on.Jack, what do you say, my boy?
Yeah, all right.You know, despite the result, I'm not too defeated, too bad.So, yeah, I'm just ready to get into it, to be honest.
We'll get into it, don't worry.George, what do you say, my guy?You good?
Not terrible, but I can't lie.My head was gone watching that game.It was just another poor away performance, but yeah, man.I'll get into it.
Yeah, man, there's lots to get into, lots to get into, which we will on this podcast.But as usual, just going to plug the socials.

And we will be coming to you every Thursday with a podcast to be released on Saturday mornings before the weekend games.So just before we get into it, let's start on a more positive note.
Obviously, although we've just finished the game against Galatasaray, where Toby may or may not be inquiring about a hair transplant,
We did play Villa first on the weekend in the Sunday All Eyes on Me before the Man United-Chelsea game, in which we won in the end, quite convincingly, 4-1. I'll start with you, Jack.What was your feeling about the game?
What was your feeling before the game?How did the game transpire, the team?What did you think was going to happen before the game against Emery's Villa?
I thought now, because I thought with our inconsistencies, with our drop in performances,
and rising in other performances, I thought this would be the game where it's a Sunday, you know, atmosphere won't be as strong as it normally is and say, you know, on a on a Wednesday evening or Saturday evening or sort of Saturday afternoon kickoff.
So I thought, you know, it might be one of those flat ones where Emery will sit back, be pragmatic, nullify us and we'll get caught on numerous occasions.And I thought, yeah, I thought it was a loss.
to be honest, but yeah, that first half was kind of reminiscent of that as well.I was actually disgusted at the performance.It just, nothing was clicking.The attack just wasn't.We were struggling.
We were struggling off the ball as well as Villa were nullifying everything we did.They showed a bit more of an intensity.They stopped us a lot of the time and stopped us in our tracks. And yeah, it was a struggle.
But luckily we turned it around in the second half and showed what we can do.
And I think as long as, you know, the fact that we can turn it around, we can turn up at certain times on certain occasions, tells me that there is more in this than, there is more in this inconsistency, consistency talk in terms of what we can do rather than just the opponents alone.
Yeah, I was impressed with the second half.We, yeah, we bullied them.You know, we absolutely tormented them.And, yeah, I want to see more of that.But I also want to see less of that first half, because, yeah, it was absolutely shocking.
And I think, unfortunately, we'll have more of those first half performances in us, to be a bit sceptical.But, yeah, overall, the fact that we turned it around, great.Yeah, happy with that in the end, ultimately.
Yeah, no, I agree with you, man.We got fissed up in that first half, man.We got punched up, man.I really tried to understand why things weren't going as positively as they were.And obviously, lo and behold, we've seen quite consistently this season.
We conceded from a set-piece in which I wouldn't say Vicaria was at fault, but it wasn't a situation that I think he controlled particularly well.George, what did you think we didn't do well in that first half?
And why do you think it was quite difficult for us to kind of employ our game at home against a team in a position where we had some I feel like it's the same problem we've had all season, to be honest.
Similar to Arsenal, when you watch them, when the wingers aren't performing and they're not thriving, they're not making those runs into the good spaces, and the final ball and the quality of it just isn't there.We performed poorly.
The wing play was just non-existent in the first half.Son didn't really contribute to much.
Fair enough, he's coming back from the injury, so I didn't really expect him to have too much impact in that game, but the first half especially didn't really do much when he was on the ball.Brennan Johnson wasn't really making the forward runs.
that we needed to see from him.I felt like we were just missing that sort of click in the middle, sort of combining that midfield to the final third, similar to today in the first half as well.
But it seems for me it's been a problem all season with us.We have good halves of football where we're really creating chances, breaking teams down and we're showing urgency. There was no urgency in that first half.
It's just like we're so comfortable moving the ball side to side in their half without doing anything with it.There's too many times, even in that Estanbula game.
They show us these stats, 25 minutes in, Tottenham have had 25 touches in the opponent's box.Done nothing with it, though.Absolutely nothing.I couldn't tell you what we've done when we get to the box.
We go to the final third, and then we work our way back and start going side to side.And I think that's one of the biggest problems I've seen across all season, but most definitely in that Villa game.
It's like the players have got to that point where they're very scared of losing the ball.So they're trying to go with the safest option consistently, trying to keep the ball, trying to pass the ball into the back of the net.
When there was a few times, I remember when we was on this last show with Yao, he just said, just rass it.And Bencicor tried it a few times.He tried it.He was rassing it.He was hitting Roe Zed, Roe J and them things.But we tried.
Him and Sal were trying.So that's the one positive I could take.The players were actually shooting from the edge of the box.But outside of that,
we weren't creating anything so they were just forcing the shots because we weren't breaking through the line.
No we weren't to be honest with you and You know, I don't know what that kangaroo whisperer must have said to them at halftime that kind of gingered them a little bit.But that second half was completely different.
And obviously, you know, you made small changes here and there, quite interesting changes here and there.But it seemed that one of the biggest positives was, you know, Sar coming on in that second half.
What did you think was the biggest positive in that second half for us, Yao?And, you know, take into account
the changes that we made and obviously Dom Solanke finally getting some goals after a bit of a slow or sort of rough patch in terms of his goal return.
How did you think it was for us in the second half and why do you think it was good for us in the second half?
Well, the thing about the first half, I don't think we... There's two parts to it.I wouldn't say we played terrible or we got punched up because, truth be told, Like, we dominated large positions on the play.
But the problem with us in that first half is, outside of trying to shoot from far, like, our final balls were absolutely garbage.Like, all the crosses were useless, they were nonsense, weren't even worth anything.
And what changed in the second half is, literally, the deliveries and the final decision-making in the final third was finally on point.That's what changed in the second half.
Nothing really changed in terms of our dominance on the ball or off the ball to Aston Villa.
They had the odd break here and there, but largely I wasn't worried about most of the stuff apart from the two back-to-back chances they had in the first half, I believe it was.
I wasn't really worried about anything that they actually created on the leg.But in that second half, from the strong cross to literally the final whistle, every attack looked like it could be something dangerous.
The final passes were actually, they were getting it correct.And that's what was more annoying about the first half. nothing needed to be rushed, you know, like, especially some of the deliveries into the box, nothing needed to be rushed.
But you head up, find the player, you know, and aim for them.But they were making it so much difficult.You know, Son got substituted at, what, the 53rd minute, you know, and he's looking at it like, oh, why am I coming?
First and foremost, that cross is fantastic, but up until that point, it was absolutely garbage.Like, so, you were coming off anyway.
I don't understand this whole... And this whole nonsense of... A lot of our fans have done this during this season where it's like, why is he coming off?He's coming off because he's been crap.You know, like... The same goes for Mr 10 out of 10.
You people won't know what I'm talking about, but the man in this group will know what I'm talking about.Mr 10 out of 10 can be garbage your whole game.He gets up to you, a man like... He's our best supplier.Best supplier of what?
Like, honestly, do you man think he's a code cracker?Because he ain't been to no safe and cracked no codes over there.So I ain't trying to hear none of that.So I'm fine with what Ang did in the second half.
I'm not, to be honest with you, most of what he's done this season so far, maybe, I'll say probably three games in total where I've been like, he's taking the piss now.You know, one of them for me was Coventry.
The other one for me was probably Palace, to be honest with you. because I feel like he could have made changes earlier.
And the third one might be, if I'm being extremely harsh today, but in other games, like Brighton, Arsenal, I'm looking at the players.
I've played enough football, watched enough football in my time period to know sometimes you can't blame a manager for putting out what he thinks is the best XI, but your so-called 10 out of 10 against Brentford decides he still wants to stay at home and look after his child.
pay 40 million for you, son.
Yeah, I actually hear it as well.
But in like, something as well that we're starting to probably realise and see as well with this manager is that, you know, actually, Ohio put it perfectly, really, when he said that statement, horses for courses, that there's going to be some games that we're going to look at.
And we're just going to need different personnel for different scenarios or different setups.You know, if you look at Villa, Villa were kind of nasty.
They knew that they were going to get some level of onslaught, whether it's in the first or the second half.
And they were happy to sit in and soak, sit in and soak, almost to the point whereby if they had any opportunity to hit us on the break, they could.
But what I will say to that, and this is where I agree with Raha, and I agree with everyone else, but what I will say to that is, he chose a midfield that, let's be honest, when we watched the game, they didn't really get run over.
Initially, it looked like the 10 out of 10 was there.We might have seen Aston Villa having a bit more joy, I'm just saying.
I mean, on another day, that might not work, but it clearly is good to have different profiles in the group to be able to affect the game in different ways.
Let's be honest, that's not the sort of game where Madison's going to have to have a lot of space and pick up a lot of areas to kind of pick a lock.
Whereas, actually, you kind of want to go band for band with the muscle, with the athleticism in the midfield.
And honestly, with players like, honestly, in my opinion, McGinn, Tillemans, Onana, you have someone like Sarr to nip the ball off them, to run as much and as hard as them. to be able to turn over the ball in key areas.
And actually, lots of the time, especially where we were getting real positive actions in that second half was when we were winning the ball high up, getting onto these second balls, winning the balls at more areas, sprinting more than them, faster than them, harder than them.
And to be honest with you, I think it's good, but again, sometimes I'm always sitting on the edge of how sustainable is this, because it's not always necessarily replicable.
On one day, it might work, but on another day, it also may not work, you know?So I'm just trying to... But that's subjective, though.
Like, let's be honest, you know?
If we go player for player, and we're not going to do it today, but if people go back and check the line-up against Crystal Palace, a team that hadn't won a game all season, there's no way anybody's looking at that line-up and thinking, we're not coming out with something.
But we watch the game.Don't get it twisted.If I'm a player and I can find a way to blame the manager, I'll blame the damn manager.You think I'm going to take blame for me having a poor performance?No, it's this fool that picked me.
Why am I going to take blame for a poor performance?I'll be like, no, he paired me up with 10 out of 10.You know he can't find me in the box.
I will throw anybody I can under the bus in a footballing scenario under the bus because that's what players do.But this is what annoys me about sports.
When it's a team sport and there's a manager involved, yeah, and I'm not saying he's not at fault.I need people to understand.This is not me defending that.I'm talking about managers in general.
When it's a team sport, it is unbelievably easy to blame the manager.When 90% of teams that lose or create their own nonsense, it's down to individual error.
Not often do you see teams get completely sliced and bland apart and you're like, yeah, you man were absolutely dead today.Like, no, you man got absolutely hemmed up.It's not like that all the time.
More times you're like, man missed the ball when it was rolling to him.Like, easy.Or man decided to not find his destiny and go somewhere else.Like, what do you want man to do?
I mean, I suppose it's very easy, obviously, to go for the manager because that's also one person.
But sometimes as well, like, if you can see things are actually systemically wrong, or not necessarily systemically wrong, but they look like there are some clear flaws in the way things are set up.I don't think it's, I don't think it's terrible.
I don't think it's necessary for people to look around and say, you know what, maybe the manager is wrong here.
And I think there's many times this season, in my opinion, where we kind of have looked at situations like Brighton in the second half, you know, at some point during at least the first or second half in today's game and lots of other games where we've kind of been like, you know what, this
addiction or disallegiance to, let's say, playing out from the back or being gung-ho in games that we would, you know, be best measured to control the games, he could maybe look at things differently.So I think, obviously, It is subjective.
It is subjective.And I think that's something as well, that as long as we are under him and we have this inconsistent form, it will kind of continue to rear its head.
But that's the only thing about inconsistency, and this has not got anything to do with Andrew or any previous manager, because I've felt the same thing under all previous managers. I think our inconsistency comes through.
The majority of players are pussies.Like, I'm not going to sit here and sugarcoat it for nobody.
Like, I generally think the majority of man, like, they either believe too much in their sauce when the sauce is dead food, it's just mayonnaise, yeah, or they're absolutely just pussies.That's just me being blunt with it.
Like, I'm sorry, yeah, but I'm not actually going to just call it out for what it is. When we bought Madison, people were, you know, ranting and raving, and so was I. Like, yeah, kids' quality, gonna come in, do what he needs to do.
Since he's come back from injury, sell him.I'm at that point.I'm not trying to hear the whole, oh, he can do something.There is nothing Madison has done in his career where I look at him and think,
Any minute now, he's going to create a moment of magic.I'm not trying to hear none of that garbage.I'm not.He's never been somebody where I thought, oh, this is Ronald Junior, this is Neymar-esque type passing.
Man does six outside of the boot passes when it's easier to pass the ball with your left foot, and man are ranting and raving about it.I'm not trying to hear it.Make it simple.
Kuleseski is boring to watch, yeah, because there's no je ne sais quoi in some of the things that he does, yeah, but he's a f****** When it works, he's actually efficient.Like, a man are telling me about... We saw Madison today.
It's definitely something we'll get on to.Don't worry, we'll get on to that, man.Don't worry, brother.
When it comes to the manager, I'd say, you know, obviously, players have to be held accountable, but the manager has to create a sense of defensive responsibility as a whole, ideologically, philosophically, whatever you want to call it.
That level of accountability has to be held in terms of players making silly mistakes, players giving the ball away in silly positions.I think that can definitely be something.
Yes, the players are making individual errors at the back and that is mostly on the players.But I think that can also partially be coped.I think you can reduce those mistakes through
an ideological change as well, drill it into them that you can't mess this up.It's a percentages game, ultimately.I think what Mourinho, Conte, those types of managers would do is you wouldn't dare play it out the back in certain particular ways.
If there is a percentage of threat or perceived percentage of threat that's deemed when a player's coming at you and a few of the angles are slightly reduced because of that, It's play it long.Whereas with Ange, he will take that risk.
He will take that chance.So do you tweak those a little bit, tweak those percentages a little bit to a point where, okay, if that passing lane is narrowed by 5-10%, don't take the risk.You know, go long.
Whereas right now we are taking that risk all the time.
I think I agree with the percentages part, yeah, but this is why I'm like, football nowadays, I'm sorry to say this, yeah, but football nowadays is like an absolute fuss because

Rather, like, have your own brain for Flip's sake.
That's what I was going to say, man.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Because there's no... There is no way in sports, yeah, I can be under the... Do you know what pressure looks like, huh?Have you men ever gone and paid your taxes and looked at their account and said, hmm, there might not even be £2 for bread?
Do you know what pressure looks like?Yeah, and men are trying to do... I'm trying to do jinky-ma-jinky.Radu, you are one of the mokosh.
Clear it.You know when... You know, it is as well.Yeah, yeah.Like, there's certain times, like today especially, I'm looking at Dragoosian, I'm looking at four-star.You haven't got the facilities for that big man!
You can't play it out from the back!Radu!Radu!Screaming Radu!Radu!
Yeah, yeah, yeah.Trust me, we'll get on to that.But you have to understand as well that like, I actually agree with what you are saying.But also, you have to also understand that in the game today, there's some level of overcoaching.
There's some level of... I don't think so.
I think there is overcoaching.
there's some level of the players being given instructions to the point where they have to follow it to a T, and actually it's to their detriment if they don't.
And because they're trained in a way where they have to follow things to a T, anything that's outside of that necessary, that box, it sometimes can provide something a bit difficult for them because they're almost having to necessarily troubleshoot themselves.
But that's something that we can discuss at another time. Back to the workings of this week.Brother Sting.Brother Sting.We have a striker. that is bagging now.We have a striker that's bagging now.
And I know for some time you've been asking a lot of questions.I need you to talk to me as to where your head is at right now with Dom Solanke, not just his goal scoring, but his performance level.
Because, you know, we've spent money on strikers in the past.We've spent money on Janssens, on Soldados, on Richie Ladd. But we actually have a striker who is not only working for the team, but he's starting to pull up goals.
He's starting to put up numbers.And I know he hasn't had a bit of a rough.He's had a bit of a rough run with the lack of shots on target.And if you take into context some of the matches we've played and how we've played, it hasn't been difficult.
But where are you with him now?Are you starting to warm?Are you starting to feel a bit stronger about him?Or are you still really on that island that he's overpriced and he needs to perform at a better output rate.
So for most of the season, I have been saying, I say I like, I love his overall play.I love his link up.I love his pressing, his energy.It makes a big difference in our off the ball play.
Obviously, allowing us to win the ball, helping the ball, whether he wins it or whether someone else wins it, it allows us to generate attacks, create chances and whatnot.The worry was, you know, for the last few games before that,
whether he gets on the end of them because, you know, the goals, we paid £60 million for those goals.Now, great finish for the first goal.It was a great finish.Yeah.
And obviously the second goal, he was there on the end of the chance, which, you know, two things we will ask for is finish your 1v1s and get on the other chances on top of your all-round play.So that's been evidenced last week.
That's been evidenced today as well, which we'll get on to.There is one thing, though.Do you remember last season when Darwin Nunez chipped the keeper? And Michael Owen said, I wasn't happy with that.I want my strikers showing conviction.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I want my strikers being confident and being a sign of a bagsman, as someone who actually just hits it, lashes it, plays it, not lobs it.You get me?I'm not going to make that criticism of Slanky at all.But I do want to see conviction as well.
That's the final thing I need to see from him. to tell me this guy is worth the money it's just that one little thing but with time that can come he's had chances to show that before in the Leicester game in the United game didn't happen but
That one final piece is what I need to show me this guy is a bagsman, is a baller, is a proper striker that we need.But so far, I'm not complaining.I'm not complaining.He is proving me.
So at this rate, as long as he gets goals the way he has been in the past week, I will hold my hands up.
But... I think that's fair.What do you think is a fair number for him to get to this season?
Across all comps, 20 plus.
20 plus.How about you, man?Yeah?
Yeah, it has to be 20 plus.
Yeah, across all comps, I need to see 20, but I want to see like 16, 17 in the league would be acceptable for me.That would be a good first season.
But just to say on what you're saying there, I think the fact that he went for the chip, for me, shows conviction.Because he went six games without getting a shot on target in a row.Six games without even having a chance.
And then he gets that first, that was literally his first chance in the game.Ball lays through and you saw, like, he didn't even think about it.He knew what he was doing before the ball came to him.The chip was perfect.For me, that showed conviction.
That showed confidence.Someone who wasn't shy in front of goal. I don't know.I know you want to see a player just bang it in the corner.No, I like that.
That's finesse to me.I like that.No, I think what Jack is talking about, yeah, he used the Michael Owen reference, but I don't think he's using it in reference to this actual goal, obviously. because it's just a chip.
I think what he's talking about is, in previous games, where it's like, you can rass it, you know?Like, honestly, you can bury this thing, yeah?And he's like, he's either diddly-dallied or, you know, he's not got it out of his feet.
The Arsenal game might be the perfect one.There's no need to take the chop, just Let it roll, and Ross!So yeah, no, I do agree with what Jack is saying, because I've been saying it all season.Outside of, say, statistical goals and all that, yeah?
It's a breath of fresh air, because, you know, that pigeon is shit.He is.He's a different level of garbage I've never seen.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, and I so proudly present to you the Tophiah section of the podcast.People that Toby likes really bring fear to me because his talent ID smells.It's up there with 10 Hawks.
Like, it's really up there with 10 Hawks.It's nasty.Toby's the kind of person that would make Spurs pay 89 million for a Charleston, honestly.Like, it's frightening.That guy is garbage.
Now, I know Toby will come and he'll be like, were you supporting Johnson?No.Go do your Googles, go do your research.I said, no, I'll give the kid time, like I give anybody time.Johnson, you know, he scored some goals recently.
But let me be the first to tell you, that boy's not good.He's not good at all.He's not good at all.Yeah, like, even today, I know we're going to really get onto this one.But lads, I need to tell you, today,
Can anybody tell me of a take-on, a successful take-on that they seem to have sometimes?This season?
I don't think he has the PSA capability.
You do not need to give me two seconds to be able to try and find that kind of information out for you.
Because we know Son is old.That's the caveat.That's what saves him.Yeah?Despite the fact that his father doesn't rate him.But that's another day in our story.
He's physically washed.Physically washed, yeah.
I can't lie, Van de Ven is probably a better winger than Ja-Brennan.I think you'll get more take on him.100%.Better crosses, better everything.
OK, the pause for William today was OK.Well done.But then seconds later, or a minute later, you can see the whole line.The entire Victoria line.Tell me, why are you standing in Knoxford Circus?Why, brother?
Yeah, you know what?Let's just get into this.Hey, man, we went away to Galatasaray.We went to help.We went to the cauldron today.I know Tobes, after his hair transplant consultation, I know he grabbed a couple of donors.
And he set himself up in Turkey to watch our fourth game in this season's Europa League away to Galatasaray.George, what do you think of the team today, man?
What did you think, bro?Too many changes.I've said this before.And just the level between our first team and second team.We saw this in the AZ Alkmaar game.
Do you not think it was enforced though?
Do you not think it was enforced?Some of them, I think some of them were forced and I understood the changes.Obviously the backline, the centre-backs in particular, there's nothing you could do about that.
We didn't have any options outside of that and probably Odogi needed rest so the backline sort of chose itself, fair enough. I think the midfield, he was far too naive to think that we could play Maddison and Bergvall.
As we saw today, we got absolutely ran through the midfield.There was no midfield.I genuinely felt like I was watching Manchester United today. You had Bissouma there, then you just had two guys floating around.
Bergvall had an absolute stinker, I just have to say.He's a young lad, so I'm not really going to focus on him, but I just have to highlight he had an absolute stinker.Maddison, another one, stinker and hooked.
As we've said, it's really starting to get to the point with Maddison where He's had more bad games than he's had good games in a Spurs shirt.He started off the season great last year, but he was shit for six or seven months after.
And then this season he's had about three good games.The rest of them have probably been like, yeah, you've been all right, but you've not fought, like the win wasn't on you.You didn't give no man of the match performances.
So to me, he's had way more bad Spurs games in a Spurs shirt than good. Like Yao said, I can't lie, at the end of the season, if he ain't got his... he don't fix up, I'm more than willing to let go of Maddison.
Basuma and Abu on horrible today on the ball.Basuma was... I don't even know what to do with this guy, bro.I don't know what to do with this guy because... We've had him for how many years now?Is this his third or fourth season?
He's been here for a while.
He was here on Monday.So he's had a few seasons now.Shit the first season, second season, and then good for like 10, 15 games.Shit for the rest.And then this year, he's not really been in the team.
And when he has been in the team, he hasn't warranted any starts.He hasn't warranted to stay in and continue. It was just a mess all over the pitch today.I generally think, yeah, the line-up was wrong.We needed Saro Benticourt to start in there.
Galatasaray weren't even that good.They were just finding... There was just holes everywhere.I couldn't believe the amount of chances they had.I haven't seen us defend that bad since Conte Mourinho.Forget that.New-No days, bro.
We conceded, was it, 35 shots in the end?We had about four there. Bro, it generally thought I was watching Man United today.Going forward, there was holes, like, you could have played through those lines of Galatasaray so easy.
When we had 10 men for the last 15 minutes, we're finding space down the right side, down the left side.We just didn't have the execution.But it was just horrible today.There was problems all over the pitch.Dragoosin, blood on his hands.
I said, when I watched the Alkmaar game, And I said, I saw him in Davies, I said, I've seen enough.Seen enough of this.These two can never play together again.But today, I've seen enough.I don't want to see him in a Spurs shirt again.
I'm being honest.I don't want to see him in a Spurs shirt again.That was a waste of money.Absolute waste of money.23 years old, send him back.Especially because he's got that manager that just chats, the agent that just chats off.
Yeah, go find him a new club because he's washed.You can't play on the ball.Why are we signing defenders that can't play with the ball at their feet?
I said, in January, we're trying to sign a player that fits into our system and we're only going... He doesn't fit into the system.Go send him to Nottingham Forest or something.He'll ball out over there.Low block settings.This is the thing.
This is the thing.Sorry to interrupt you.This is the thing, you see, is that, like... This is where I'm starting to try and... I'm just trying to understand where do we want to stand on which side of the line?Because it's like...
Fine, you are going to want to get your team to play out from the back in a specific way that is in line with how you've always set up since you've been here.
But you're also going to want to try and do that with a washed goalkeeper, a 50-year-old Welshman, and a guy who is physically his peak, but technically he leaves a lot to be desired.
Like, I don't understand what did he kind of look from that situation and think was going to happen?Because the minute you go into the game, you're already going to be up against it because the crowd is going to be up for it.
Tobes literally said it was probably the best, if not the best, football atmosphere in a match he's ever been to.
So if you're thinking that's how it feels for a fan, how the hell do you think it's going to feel for a goalkeeper who doesn't play very much, a guy who isn't particularly strong on the ball, and a guy who is kind of old and physically not really there?
Plus, you mix that with a number of young G's in Bergwau, in Gray, You have Lancashire in there as well.On top of that, you now are playing against a frontline of Icardi, Ossie men, Mertens, guys who are seasoned pros at this level.
Like, it's just like, it makes it very difficult for you to be able to have any kind of control of this kind of situation when you've almost given yourself so much
like to work to you've given yourself so little to work with like jack what what did you think
was the biggest issue today with the way that we set up, the way that we started the game and how it looked at points, because there were times that it looked crazy.It looked like it could be five, six, seven like today.
Yeah, I mean, where do I begin?Obviously, the players, this group of players in this XI, just not having that experience with one another.There was absolutely no chemistry, no cohesion.
press, you know, the press is something that is coordinated to a strong, high level of detail.
Even with us, on a normal day, on a normal sort of Premier League weekend, I think it was just that disjointed off the ball that you could easily play off us.And they're not specialists at the back.We know who Devin Sanchez is on the ball.
And he didn't look like we targeted him at all, or he looked as shaky as he normally would do on the ball.So clearly there was no recognised strategy when it comes to our off the ball work.So that was one of the many issues.
The midfield, just not midfielding at all.Bissouma, like George said, horrible, absolutely horrible first half.I think he did step it up in the second half when we were down to 10 men.And I think
With Basuma, I just feel like he needs to be the main man, the main sort of guy for him to actually step up at least.He won't be perfect every game, you know, but if you give him that sort of mantle, he will. His level will rise a little bit.
His floor will definitely be raised.But that's neither here nor there when the whole team is performing like this, to be honest.Dragunov, like you said, I mean, again, the backline was just a complete mess and there was no intent to get back at all.
Our right-hand side was getting cooked.
We were... That Poro... Poro's rubbish.Water's wet, man.That's literally where I'm at with that, man.
Absolutely atrocious, the amount of space we got, that Ossie men had.Oh my lord, Ossie men, if Ossie men could actually finish.You know what it reminded me of?
It reminded me of when we, how was it, our second Champions League group game against Inter, under Harry Redknapp.
That's first off.We died.We died.What?That's crazy.
That's crazy.Austin Lennon had seven shots today, five of them on target.Five shots on target.
I mean, that's very Nigerian, but, you know, that's another day, another story.
But, OK, like, also, just one point there.I actually think, to a degree, I agree with what Jack is saying, but I also think as well that, like, Madison and Bergwald didn't help Bissouma today.
They didn't help him, especially in that first half, because we knew that Gela Tassaray were happy to press us.We knew that they were very happy to make it difficult for us to play out.
And there was lots of moments where I'm just looking at Bissouma trying to maybe possibly receive the ball or off the ball. And he was just on an island.Like everything that Bergwald did was just not working.
And it was like the gap between Madison and Lancashire was too big.And then the gap between Madison and Bissouma was also too big.So I just felt that in the first half, not only did we not get our spacing right, but when we did get on the ball,
Those guys just didn't, it's like they weren't up for the tussle, man.To me, like Madison and... And Bergwald did not look up for the tussle.
And every time it felt like Bissouma was having to do a lot on his own because they weren't getting much support from the buildup from those guys at the back.Because every time they were trying to, it was like they were all punch drunk.
Like watching Forster in 2024, trying to play out from the back is insanity.It's literally insanity.I'm watching, I'm thinking, why are we persisting with this?
But it's funny because I do.
I agree with everything Jack said and Jules said about Fusuma.He wasn't really good in the first half.But what you just said right there is true.He was on an island by himself.And what he tried to do was, you know, take it up by himself.
But he didn't.He wasn't good at it.Like, he would break the lines and then lose the ball.He would go on a dribble, not pass the ball early.And that kind of carried on to the second half.So even though he tried,
It was nonsense, you know, but let me say something about this guy.This guy that I'm about to talk about.
Before you get started with your podcast, we all love Football Man.I love the way that a young star in Cole Palmer was a breakout star last season.Most people didn't see him coming.Why?Because he was underrated.
I love the way that an old familiar name like Ross Barkley was a breakout star last season too.Now most people didn't see him coming.Why? He was under-aired too.Now listen, there's plenty of fantasy football apps you can choose for next season.
The breakout star fantasy football next season?Most people won't see it coming, but a few will.It's called Underrated, the app for people who can spot breakout stars ahead of the curve.It's free to download on iPhone and Android.It's free to play.
It comes out early July.Just search Underrated Stocks on YouTube to learn how to play and get behind this project whilst it's underrated. Double F, Fraser Foster.
Let me tell you something about this.All right, load up, load up, load up.That first goal, I know everybody is like, right, that first goal was a blunders. That first goal is the clearest indication you need to retire.He's finished.
When the fun stops, stop, yeah?When the fun stops, stop, people, yeah?If you cannot shift your... At first, when I saw the goal, I was like, oh, he bled that into the bin liner.That's the angle that it looked like on TV.
I was like, yo, he's clapped that.Don't worry about it.Go again, innit?When I saw the replay, I was like, brother, you had to shuffle all your four footsteps.And you're telling me you couldn't get there.
It's not, don't, I don't want to hear nobody talk.Oh, it's the pace that beat him.No, I saw that.Yeah.I saw it on my HDTV, UHDTV, cause man's got peas like that.But that's another day, another story.Yeah.I saw it on my TV clear as day.
That wasn't a blammer.That wasn't one of those ones where I'm like, rah, the cameraman couldn't keep up with that.Bruv, he just, you know, Very well cultured, left foot, volley.I said, what?Why couldn't he get a hand to it?
But then minutes later, I saw it. he received the ball from Davis.He took the touch and it's like the brain and the foot couldn't compute.Man was doing at my piano like, shake it, shake it, shake it.I said, why are you glitching right now?Why?
Why are you glitching in this instance right now?There's nobody near you.You don't even need to panic.And the pass he gave to, I think it was the consumer, oh, he absolutely killed him.I was like, yeah, no.
That's where I'm like, Ange, you're taking a piss because it's either you play for Corio, but I know he's played like two intense games and all that jazz.Fine.It's either you play for Corio or you play the young, what's his name?Brandon Austin.
You played that year.Now, I'm not going to lie.I saw Austin in preseason.That boy needs to be thankful to God that he's just
would not be happening right now because Jesus Christ yeah that that that preseason was nasty what I saw from him but I would risk it I'd risk it I'd play him yeah think why don't you play 62 year old In fact, I saw it in the AZ Alkmaar game.
I was like, this man can't shift his feet.
Like, he is mad old.He can't get down to the corners.He can't get up to the corners.What is that?
You know what?It's funny you even said that.Man are ranting and raving about Osherman, yeah?Osherman's second goal.That's a blunt, yeah?There's nothing you can do about it.Man's toe-poked it.All power.Back in the net.Cool.But he's third goal.Yeah?
He's third goal. A younger keeper gets there.I'm just letting everybody know this.Like, man are moving their feet fast enough to get there.The third goal wasn't hit with no power.It wasn't even hit with immense placement.
I've seen man in Saturday league get there.Man are getting there.He can't shift his feet.We've got four more games.It's fine.We can risk it because of who we're facing in those four games, yeah?
But I just, I can't believe the fact that he's still on our books now.Like, why didn't he leave with you know, the alcoholic.I don't understand it.Like, that would have been perfect business.
You get rid of the two old men, and you go get a youngish goalkeeper and go get another one.I don't understand.You're a nonsense freak.But let me say something right now.After casting Fraser for us, I almost forgot about one man.
So I'm going to ask a question to the group, because I think it's fair.And I'm going to start with Jack.Jack, George, Tops, you're currently selecting a team. for the Euros.You've been appointed the brand new Spanish manager.
Do you take Pedro Porro as your right-back over Jesús Navas?
Systematically, they will protect him.
You believe that?This fella is an ass.
Oh my God.Think of the Spanish team, by the way, and don't think that the Spanish team defensively are clinical because they
really not yeah just they're not they're not as you think they could trust a man that doesn't check his mirrors do you think they could trust a man that doesn't when jack you're up north when you go and put your key in your front door you don't check it back pause
Huh?It's dangerous out there.George, I've seen you recently.Saw you in the stadium.What, when you go put your key in, you don't quickly check to make sure nobody ran it up on you?Is it safe?
Native community?We got peas like this?
There's just problems all across, like, and it's just like... Fine, you can understand to some level, there's always going to be a drop off.
But again, this is again where we have issues with our squad planning, because sometimes the drop off can be so significant, it's actually detrimental to the team performance.
And although we lost 3-2 and we had Will Lancashire, you know, score his first goal for the club, but also get sent off, there was moments where I actually thought, There's not much to this Galatasaray team.I think our first 11 washes them.
I think our first 11 completely washes them.But I'm also looking at us and thinking some of these errors, some of these chances that we gave away, some of these mistakes that we had, they could easily, easily be ironed out.
And the minute we put any level of decent pressure or sustained pressure, even with 10 men against Galatasaray, we were getting some joy to almost to the point where actually In the end, I thought we probably should have nicked a draw.
Yeah, that's if Kulesescu knew how to shoot.
You know, once you've got all the time in the world on your left foot and man's curved it.
It's a bit of a strange one.And to be honest with you, even with Lancashire, I look at that red card and I don't think it's... I think it's just a little bit of immaturity, a bit of naivety.
Like Glenn Hoddle said in the commentary, he may have actually just forgotten that he was already on the yellow and, you know, he wanted to win the ball back and try and just work for the team.And in doing so, got himself sent off.
But, you know, he managed to do well enough to cause enough sort of problems in that first sort of half.He worked for the team, you know, which is... which is really good for us, and he was able to get a goal.
It just means that now that's another option that we have now out, leaving with this fresh news about Richarlison being out now.
We're now left with another sort of squad situation whereby Solanke is going to be probably overplayed again in the next game as a striker. There are, like, some level of positives to take.
I mean, I felt, personally, the second half with 10 men for about half an hour, I did feel that we got into the game, although it could be looked at contextually that, you know, they sat off and they also tired whilst we were still chasing the game.
I mean, what did you guys think of that sort of half an hour period once we got Once we got to 3-2 with Solanke, Bentancourt coming on, who I thought was really good as well actually today.Even though it was 10, I thought he was really good.
I think it's fair to say that the performance levels went up. But like you said, I think that just alludes to players coming on that are just at another level.
We had all of our first teamers come on, and to be honest, they just looked comfortable playing together.A lot of them knew where positions are going to be on the pitch, and like Yao pointed out, or I think it might have been Jack,
earlier on the first half, there was just no cohesion between any of the team.The midfield and attackers, they're all playing against each other.The attack was spreading wide, getting away from the ball.
When the midfielders are on the ball, no one's coming to get it.They're all too far away from each other.I think we played decent in the last half hour, but again, I feel like we had the same problem where we didn't really create much.
We scored that goal, but after the goal, we started to move the ball forward. And probably due to lack of options, having that man down, we didn't really have that person to link the play in the middle.
So whenever Kulutevsky was taking it wide, there wasn't really much options.But I still think that we could have been a lot better.I think that the defensive breakdown was just, it killed us time and time again.
The players at the back, Dragoos, and even at the end of the game, there's times where he's winning the ball back and instantly losing it.And it's just like, What are we doing here?All you have to do is lay the ball off, get the pass gone.
And to be honest, Galatasaray, I just think they didn't respect us today.Because the fact that even at the end of the game, when you said they didn't really drop off, they're still playing a really high line.
From the corners, that Younes thought he was going to score three or four bangers.Man was just hoofing it to the edge of the box on FIFA tactics, trying to it's always happen away from home.
There's no coincidence from that, especially in European ties.We've seen this for not just five years, it's been 10, 15 years.Big away European ties, we just don't turn up.We have these shitty performances that we can't explain.
where every player's absolutely trash.I remember this type of performance that made us lose against Zagreb when they had their manager in prison.Like, what is this?The exact same type of performance.It's crazy stuff.
Yeah, it was decent in the second half, but it still wasn't good enough for us to even... Like, the goal we got, it was a bit lucky.It was a good little move.
The first goal, I have to say, great pass from Archie Gray, by the way, for him to spot that and find Johnson. It was an amazing pass.
But the second quarter, I felt like we just got a bit lucky, found ourselves down on the right and poor defending from Davinson Sanchez.Oh, whoa.We all know that's going to happen.So, yeah, it was decent.
But honestly, man, there isn't much to take away from this one.Can anybody explain to me why Kulisic can't shoot?
No, no, because help me understand how the keeper hits the ball out.You get control of the ball. You have time to get onto your favorite level.Like, I don't mind if he missed it, but how he missed it is insane.
I thought that he didn't think he had as much time as he did.
OK, so if you didn't have as much time as you think, you've got the entire goal to look at and everything in front of you.Why have you curled it this way when you could curl it out and hope that Nicole takes it in?
It's insane.I mean, it's just one of those things.In the end, you know... His analogue stick is stuck, bruv.
You know on FIFA when you choose manual shooting, I don't know if any of you have ever chosen that mode where whatever your analogue point, it shoots there and it is hard.
the ball is going to the corner flag like 99% of the time that's what he did he was he was pointing that way and I think the problem with Kulu's shot in particular I think it's not his it's not his instinct to shoot he's not instinctively and attack that sort of ball striker and that that's a problem and I think he needs to start getting on that because we need him to start shooting more and on top of that if your instinct is to
use that inside part of your foot to bend it rather than using the top of your foot to just daisy-cut it almost.That's all you need to do, you get a straight shot.
Whether it goes wide or not, like Yao said, whether it goes wide or not, the type of shot, the intent was correct.
This shot here.I couldn't believe it because I was like, yeah, I'm not saying that he has to get it on target there, but my thing is, you could have done anything else other than what I saw.
You could have tried to keep it on the floor and, you know, beat the keeper with it on the floor.Yeah, if that worked, fine.If it didn't, such is life.
He could have gone for, he could have gone for the crossbar, like, proper, like, cut across it and hoped that, yeah, that might have gone wide.But by the time it hit the grass, and gone over the keeper.It was going for a corner.
It was wide from when it touched his foot.That's insane.
So this is interesting as well, like from the way you guys are speaking about this and the reaction to us not getting the draw, like we all kind of looked at the way the Europa League had gone so far.We knew that this was going to be a tough one.
Obviously, we go next, we're at home to Roma and then we are away to Rangers, you know, like, I mean, in the context of the game.Do you guys write this game off? because of the way that we set up in terms of the team and the result?
Or is it something that you think, okay, on the balance of things, based on how the game went, this is probably a result that we should have tried to get, considering how positive, you know, like a week we've had with beating Villar, with beating Man City, going into this weekend against Ipswich?
I think you have to, if you want to be seriously competing on all fronts, you have to look at every game try and win it or win it in a good enough manner.You're not going to, but you should definitely try and look to win it or at least compete.
And what we did for 60 minutes was absolutely egregious.It was disgusting.However, and this is the thing that I was arguing in the group, what I don't understand is a lot of fans are not taking into consideration there is a new European format.
Now I can expose my age because I've now seen this format of football change three times in my lifetime.So I can say on each time that it's changed, it's caused an absolute madness across all of Europe.Like, well, I've just seen the table.
We're seventh right now.We've got nine points.We've got two home games and two away games.Looking on the basis of it, quarter-spinners, You need between four and six points and you're going through to the next round.It's done.
Like nobody below eight is going to just utterly blam all the other teams that they have to face and take the eight spot.So if you get two more wins, we're only one point off of whoever's second right now.
I think it goes 12, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, and then we're like nine. It may look close on points, but it's different.
And a lot of people are not taking into consideration that it's not just Spurs that have to chop and change and play weakened squads and stuff like that.It's everybody across Europe.There is a lot of fixtures.It's not just Fram.
City have just gone three games on the trot. If I'm right, it might have been City, it might be Arsenal, one of the two of them.
Both of them, not winless and free.
So what?It's nothing new, it's across Europe.Yes, did I expect us to perform better than what we did today?Did I write this off as a game?No, I didn't, because I thought we could nick something.We didn't.Such is life, yeah?
But I'm not looking at us being at home to Roma and thinking, Roma are going to cause us problems.Roma are fighting for their lives right now.
Really and truly, they shouldn't even can this competition because they need to stay in Serie A. They're getting pammed in Serie A right now. Rangers are fine.
Rangers are going to take this competition serious because nobody takes anything serious in Scotland.So they could probably cause us problems.But I don't even know who our final two games are.
They're a team and a Swedish team.EIS Elfberg, something like that.
You mean to tell me you don't expect six points from that?
I do.I do.This is why I'm asking the question.Like, this is why I was trying to gauge.Who was it?Was it Jack in the group that said, like, this game doesn't mean anything?I'm not sure.Am I right in saying, Jack?
I thought we didn't need anything, no.
Really. I can't lie, I disagree with you a lot, man.I disagree.I look at this competition and this is one where I have a high expectation.I think we're the best team in it.We should win it.
And part of winning a competition is showing the ball to get through these types of games.I just think as a team, we have a way, playing away from home under Ang, It's a problem.It's definitely an issue.
So, in games like this, I did, when I went into the game, my prediction was, I want to win, but if we can walk away with a draw, that's a big point for me.It's a big point.
Just because, forget the fact that it's Galatasaray, it's the away game, the atmosphere, everything outside of it that played into it.That's why we needed a draw.We needed to just show that we had the mental to get through these types of games.
What this now shows me is, I'm not left with confidence going into those games where we have two-legged ties.
later on in the competition against bigger teams, when we go to their ground, we're probably going to have a shit performance and we're going to be relying on coming back at home and saving ourselves.That's not how you go and win a competition.
And I feel like that's just... It's a problem we have right now and it needs to be addressed.
No, that I 100% agree with.That's ingrained in the culture, to be honest with you.But I expect by the knockout stages, and this is just my opinion,
I expect by the knockout stages that we will be filled in a far more stronger team, similar to the team that was out in the last half an hour of the game.
The only problem with that is we have to be very careful because, as I said, with the new format, we'd be lucky if there is, well, outside of the playoff games for teams that finish 9 to 16, there might not be
a week of football in which we're not playing twice a week, especially if we get past United in the Carabao Cup in the quarterfinal.We could be playing a game every three or four days up until March.That's insane work.It's going to hit everybody.
So when men are like, oh, we're very inconsistent, I'm like, pretty much everyone is.The only team right now that I don't think is inconsistent across Europe It's Liverpool.
They're the only team that I look at and I'm like, yeah, they're not inconsistent.Everybody else looks absolutely disgusting with the amount of football that they're playing.All I'm concerned about is us not racking up too many injuries.Yeah.
That's one.Madison deciding to take a sabbatical and go look after these kids because the sport ain't for him.It just ain't.And I just need
I need that youngster from wherever he's from to hurry up over here and take over son's boots because... Oh, yeah, yeah.Because son is too old.He's too old, bruv.
I've said it in the previous pod, I'm going to keep saying it till somebody informs son that I've been saying this for the last year.Your father don't rate you.So you need to sort this out.
You need to repair the issues between you and your father because... There's no way I can be showing respect to a man if his own father thinks he's an absolute dickhead.Sorry, I can't do it.
Do you know what?That's a really good segue.Obviously, in a group and probably on socials as well, you men have probably seen...
that son, 32, as he enters the last 18 months of his contract, Spurs are looking to only offer him an extension of, is it one year, if I'm not mistaken?
So it's not even an offer him an extension, it's already an extension.
And they're not looking to extend beyond that year. I mean, where do you man sit with this?
Because I kind of feel like, and I've been saying it in the group, I love Son, I think he's a loyal servant, a world-class finisher, but I just think he's physically washed.
And what made him so great at what he was able to do was his ability to separate, his ability to be, quite brilliantly energetic and explosive, especially in the final third.
And I just feel that that part of his game, especially as he's not playing as a striker, kind of has regressed.And I think physically he's not where he once was.
I feel like he obviously still has amazing level of quality because of his ability to finish.And as you saw his assist for Johnson against Willow on the weekend, it's clearly still there.
You know, now that we have a player who's probably been at the club something like eight years or something like this, you know, do we think that the club have made the right, have got the right plan with regards to, let's say, progression planning or succession planning with regards to, you know, losing the potential market of fans and fan base that we have with Son?
I mean, where do you guys sit with this?Do you think it's a good idea?Do you think it's the right idea? Where are you with this?
I think this, what you're talking about planning, it should have happened in the last couple of summers. when we were looking for wingers, when we were looking for wide players to compete, start for the team and eventually face on out.
Yeah, it's quite late to be having this sort of discussion now because we haven't got anyone on that left-hand side that we can categorically say, yeah, he's certified, he will be the successor to Son.
Whether it's someone fairly young, not too young, or someone that's just already there, And it should have been, it should have happened in the last couple of summers.
And yeah, so and the reason why I feel so my opinion on Son is big miss in terms of personality at the club, stature, the quality of player he
inherently is or was and what have you but he won't be the because he's declined in the last few seasons he won't be as big a miss as we think or some fans may think he'll be so Just get that player, just get that winger in to replace him.
And if next season is his last season, let it be a season where he chips in every now and then.But it doesn't start.
Play him in the cup games next season.I'm sorry to say this, just play him in the cup games.
I agree.George, where are you with it?Where do you feel?Excuse me, how do you feel about this?
Yeah, pretty much the same as the guys, to be honest.You've got to look here, the sun's going to be 33 in July. So by the time he does leave Spurs, he'd be 34 going into that new season.So it's about time that he leaves.
He's going to be at the club for 10 years, starting next year as well.So it's one of those ones, like I said, he's just gone around the life cycle.
He's been a great contributor to Spurs and no one can take away anything that he's done for us as a club. but the succession planning probably has been a bit poor.
I think Spurs, especially Levy and Co, are hoping and probably praying that Moore and Odebrecht tend to, they start to stand out real soon because otherwise the succession planning does look a bit like, where are we going here?
Because the wing options right now really aren't, like the young options, yeah, we've got loads of young players, Yang Ming-Hok and then say Odebrecht, Mikey Moore, Johnson, but none of these are standout players, none of them
are players that are going to give us the replacement of Son's goals, because we're trying to replace Kane's goals, let alone what Stronghold provided us two seasons ago.That's 40 goals a season.Right now, we haven't replaced that.
And yeah, like Jack said, we need to look at signing someone established, whether that's in January, whether that's next year.
And Son needs to be phased out next season, because it's clear to see, even in these games, these are the games you expect him to have bigger contributions in, because the teams aren't... It's not as... same level as the Premier League.
You can understand in the Premier League, it's a faster pace, so he's going to look a lot slower.But in games like this, you're expecting to really shine.He didn't really offer us much, so you need to start phasing him out slowly.
And next season, most definitely, he can't be starting on our left wing because, yeah, he's nearly finished.
You're asking a man that... OK, listen, just call it, speak, speak.
your father don't rate you.So how am I supposed to respect you, bruv?
You need to allow it.You need to allow it, yo.
No, I'm not going to allow it.Like, I'm not going to.On your own documentary, your father said, he ain't world class, bruv.Yeah?Like, why would we be given an extension?Because there's, don't get it twisted, there's fans out there.
There's fans out there, they're like, oh, he's my son, no, like, we got to do him right.
product this is why yeah this is why we've gone so long without a trophy because you man are happy to be losers yeah i'm not a loser so if we need to get rid of man to move forward so be it i remember years ago i used to say i have no time for sentimental things bro you're saying
Oh, do you remember back in the day?Bun back in the day, my knee hurts.Brother, we need to do what's correct now to move forward.It all makes sense to me that George said so.Today wasn't even a far peak.
I don't even remember some being on the pitch.That's true stories.
Yeah, let's be real.Let's be real.He got locked up by Sancho.Locked up.He got locked up in Penna over there, man.
Got locked up by a Colombian, yeah, that we sent over to the land of the Ottoman.Safe.Yeah.Safe.
Listen, I just hope we can just somewhat send this guy off into the sunset with something to commemorate his time with us.
To be fair, it'd be nice.I'm not saying it'll happen, but if we won something, Do you know why I would film you with Drake?
I know exactly why, and I'm not going to let you finish.I don't know what you're going to say.What was I going to say?
I don't know what you're going to say.If you say it and it's true, I'll give you £100.Say it.
in your heart, you want him to finish with a cup before he retires, because it will outdo the legacy of Harry Kane.That's exactly why.
That's exactly why.I'm not going to give you that joy.I'm not going to give you that.
We need that joy.We need that joy.Listen, let's just wrap this up.Let's wrap this up, all right?
Lastly, obviously, as we go into the international break after this weekend, you know, we went into the last one after that horrible result against Brighton this weekend.
We go into the international break, hopefully with a result against Ipswich, who have still yet to record a win in the Premier League.
And again, it may look as if it's something that would be routine, but this is going to be a team that's going to be sitting back in a deep low block to try and stifle us and having given quite an account of ourselves in Turkey, the travelling and everything, and us not necessarily always performing amazingly well.
After Europe, I really just hope that this weekend is a nice routine victory.
I don't really think there's much to discuss in terms of what we kind of expect, but I'm just going to go around the group and just ask for predictions for the weekend game against Ipswich.I'll start with you, George.
Yeah, man, I've been saying all week I've deposited my three points in the bank for that one, so we best turn up. But, hey, you know, I like you.I don't think it's going to be an amazing game.I think it's going to be a tight one.
I think we might actually just win 1-0, you know.I think we might just get the job done.But that's good enough for me, man, going into the international break.Just three points.
Trust me, man.Trust me.Yao?Just so I know, is Romero injured?Yeah.Well, actually, no.He said in the presser yesterday that he was not available today, but he may still be available for the weekend.
we're conceding.So I'm not going to predict a scoreline.I haven't predicted it all season.I do expect us to win because we're at home.But yeah, we're definitely conceding.
I don't know what the scoreline is going to be, but we're definitely conceding because 1-0, Jones. That's risky.
It's hopeful.It's definitely hopeful.Liam De Lapp's going to cause us problems, man.That's risky.
Oh, Liam De Lapp, Jack Clarke, the ghost of Jack Clarke.Let's see what my guy brings for us, man.Jack, what about you, bro?
This could go from being a 1-0 loss to a 6-0 win for us.
You just don't know which Tottenham will turn up.Trust me.And how we'll respond to Ipswich's approach, however they approach it. I'm inclined to agree with George.It might be a sticky 2-1 or something.I don't know.
But I don't think it will be a super comfy win.But I think we'll play well.We'll put ourselves in good positions and then make it difficult for ourselves and then find a way at the end or towards the end.So, yeah, like a 2-1.
It's a 10 out of 10 play.
It should be.Like, the way I see it, I think this game should be comfortable.I think they're going to come with the plan to stodge it up, completely stodge it up against a very loud crowd, expecting crowd.And I think we should play into that.
We should go with an attacking line-up, start Kulishevsky, start Maddison, start Bentancourt. and just try and get at them from the very beginning, man.So I'm going to go 3-0 win.Another Solanke brace, maybe with Sun as well.
Yeah, so with that, that brings the end to another episode of A New Spurs Order.I just want to thank the guys, Yao, Jack, George, for your presence and your input tonight, guys.Obviously, the pod will be out, as usual, on Saturday.
