I think all of the signings since summer will work out very well, except for Jack Clarke, who was always a long shot and I have no idea obviously. I really like what I see of Gedson and Lo Celso lately.
Yeah Bergwijn, Fernandes, and GLC all look like hits so far. You can see the talent Ndombele has. He has flashes every time he plays. You just hope he puts in the work in training to get on the field. If he reaches his potential we have the core for another consistent top 4 run. We still have big question marks at the back, but the midfield and wing spots look to be in really good shape going forward.
Forgot about Sess. Hopefully he’s our long term answer at LB. Still tbd on whether he’s a hit or miss.
Guessing we were saving Ndombelly for Wednesday which is reasonable. Loved seeing Son in the middle up top instead of Moura. With Bergwijn on the left, up top is way better for Son then out right. Aurier and Dier were bad. Feel like this is about as close to our best team right now with Harry out, just swap Dier for Tanguy or LoCelso.
We are fucked... Tottenham forward Son Heung-Min is set to have surgery after suffering a fractured arm, the club have announced. The news will come as a huge blow to Spurs fans who are already without fellow forward Harry Kane until April, due a hamstring injury. "Son Heung-Min is to undergo surgery this week after sustaining a fracture to his right arm," a Tottenham statement read. "The South Korea international suffered the injury during our win against Aston Villa on Sunday. "Following surgery, our medical staff shall be reviewing management options for Son's rehabilitation with the player expected to be sidelined for a number of weeks."
I remember the tackle. This just seemingly came out of nowhere, and reports are saying the recovery is a matter of months, not weeks. We’re absolutely fucked, even with the possibility of 5th getting UCL.
Parrott obviously isn't ready for CL and the biggest games but he is going to be needed for fringe matches to spell whoever it is we place up top. Amazon is gonna have a fuckin hit show with all this drama though.
Dele and Lucas need to start scoring. I'd put Dele at striker I swear to God. He is best further up the pitch and when only asked to finish off a move with a touch or two. He can also win a header.
Lucas playing alone up top seems like a disaster, but what do I know? Beyond disappointing that Ndombele still isn’t in the 11.
I assumed it’s a 4-2-3-1 with Gedson and Winks pivot. Would feel better if it was confirmed 4-3-3, but we haven’t seen that under Jose yet. Seems like we’re absolutely going for a bus parking tonight.
I know the pregame said that, and I think it is likely, but how would the pregame know other than by speculating?
That was the most sobering two minutes I’ve ever seen. They know their Cb situation is bad so they’re in full attack mode, get those away goals.
