Yet again the game against Chelsea has huge implications for their season
And Tottenham thought they were title contenders 😭
Still trying to cope with your spectacular collapse last season?
You got it out the way nice and early lol
Smart to get the collapse out of the way early. Hanging around makes the choke hurt so much more. Especially when you lead longer than anyone ever has without winning the title.
BY GWAD IS THAT LO CELSO MUSIC??
We were playing well, too well. Something like this was bound to happen.
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.
Chatted all that shit about bottlers. Team didn’t even give city a race to January lmao
You guys didnt score a goal against a relegation zone everton
Exactly why it was premature to talk about a title challenge for Spurs. Their squad is nowhere near ready.
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
RIP fpl. Who to pick now?
Mbeumo if he’s not in already, over Bowen especially.
I picked palmer since he’s cheaper and a guaranteed started, and decided to buy better players with the money left.
Look, I know Palmer is literally Chelsea’s best player right now, but with nkunku’s return who do you think is gonna lose his place? I think palmer is not as nailed as u might think
We Chelsea fans will be very upset if Cole and nkunku doesn’t play together
Bowen
I can’t decide between Bowen and Gordon
The way Maddison went down looked strange for spraining an ankle. Replay didn’t show any twisting motion. Looked more like some type of an Achilles injury to me but hopefully not.
How the fuck has one 10 minute spell ruined our entire season
It is the history of the Tottenham
The curse. Happened with us with Tomiyasu and Saliba vs Sporting. 12 minutes to ruin our title dreams
I mean you have played 0 mins since the match. at least let there be something to concrete (results-wise) base this on.
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
It’s those lemons…
That’s especially low coming from Poch to be putting a lemon curse on us!
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
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.
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.
More like “if x happened were fucked”, and then it was xxxxxxx
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
Lolz. Karmic after going through this thread
https://np.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/17mtk3k/casemiro_ruled_out_for_several_weeks/k7n1nph/
People celebrating his injury and shrugging it off coz it was United. Not funny when it happens to someone else eh?
…
Where do you see Spurs fans celebrating here? Are you saying it’s karma for Spurs players to get injured because fans of other clubs celebrated Casemiro’s injury?
Clown.
Cry about it
it’s joever
He probably only misses Wolves
He’s excepted back in January lol
The rate of injuries all over Europe is out of control right now, and then you factor in how the transfer prices for reinforcements just keep going up. It’s a bubble and very concerning.
No wonder everyone has thin squads when it costs so much just to get a viable starting 11, who then get over played.
I wonder if the excessive stops for VAR checks, which then lead to excessive amounts of extra time could be a contributing factor.
It’s a bubble for sure, but I don’t expect that bubble to burst, instead I expect that bubble to cause the sport to seek even richer owners…like the kind who have money that comes straight out of the ground.
Yep - for all the shit Chelsea and United get (rightfully) for underperforming, there’s only so much that you can do when you’re missing basically an entire team’s worth of players.
For a good few weeks, Chelsea and Manchester United could put out an “out XI” that was better than their starting XI…
Sorry, are you saying Chelsea and Man U are victims of inflated player prices resulting in top heavy squads? The team that spent a billion quid in a year and iirc the leading spender over the last decade?
What? No, I’m not.
I’m saying that while both teams should be performing better, there’s only so much you can do with so many injuries. You can have the best plans the world, but if half the team is out injured at any given time you’re never going to get a sense of consistency and it’s a case of “who can play” rather than “who should play”.
Maybe pay more for medical and physio staff?
I wish it were just a good few weeks for Chelsea. :(
Tbf, we’re out of it a good bit. Just Lavia, Nkunku, Chilly, Chalobah, Chukwuemeka and Fofana out longterm, although Nkunku is almost back
Just
Trev is getting sold anyway.
That’s still half of a starting lineup though.
We used to have like 1 or 2 long term problems, and maybe 2 short term injuries.
Now players drop out weekly like it’s a reality competition.
3 players isn’t half,
Lavia
Nkunku
Chilwell
Chalobah
Chukwuemeka
Fofana6 Players is over half a starting XI
I’ll believe the Nkunku returning in November news if it happens. Almost every injury we have goes on longer than expected and now he’s supposed to be back two months early, I have my doubts.
Nah nkunku was always said to be back in December. I will never forget that
