As promised, here's the link to my marathon fundraising page in aid of Cancer Research, in case anyone fancied pushing that wonderful total up further. You're wonderful people and my ruined knees thank you. https://www.justgiving.com/page/alasdair-gold-1725490059956
Hello mate do you think we will sign another left back I January
Since our biggest problem is maintaining intensity for away games, it’s great that we have so much competition for places in midfield
Ali,
I think you're exactly right with your assessment of Joe Hart's comments.
Ange is different in his approach and outlook on the game and as such, if you are trying to understand him through a more traditional framework, you are unlikely to come to the correct conclusion.
People often criticise his system because it doesn't make sense to them in that familiar framework.
Take set pieces, sure he spends time on this element like everyone does, but he's not going to spend extra time on it because his past experience has shown that this becomes less and less of an issue as the system beds in.
That's why he says he doesn't care, his experience tells him the fix is already in place.
Great see you back🎉 missed your updates and information 👍👍👍👍😘
Hi just a quick question, what is the name of the song which is played after we win at home ??? Thanks
We are overstocked on the left. On the right genuinely, we only have Johnson
"Davis" 😉
Thanks for great video as always, but also the fundraising, just been to your page. I'd like to mention Ben Davies tackle on Watkins, if he had got that wrong Villa would have been away one on one and it could easily have been 1-2. Instead we break away and score for 2-1. Match changing moments that go under the radar. Glad he's getting much better fan support this year for all the reasons others mention.
Loved that 'hello everyone'. That was a mixture of happiness, exhaustion and knowing (that the happiness probably won't last long, from experience!)
First half the woman behind me was saying “I know Johnson scored 6 goals in 6 games but what has he done since then” and “son hasn’t done much recently” (he has been injured but hey technically she was correct he hadn’t scored or provided an assist in the games he was out injured). I therefore struggled to contain a chuckle when son provided the assist for Johnson to equalise.
Yeah Alasdair is back ! We missed you mate ! And the players knew also how to welcome you back ! 😉
Two points now behind "title challengers" Arsenal.
Great to have you back pondering everything Tottenham . Looked like you had a great break in the U.S. any vids coming ?
You never going to get on if you don't follow the media line on quotes about Tottenham !!
We didn't buy Solanke because Ange wanted him , it was because he was cheap . Wasn't it !!!!
Sorry guess I am just feed up of the negative fan base .
Romero looks like being out for 7 to 10 days , just in time to fly to Argentina !!
Good luck on your trip to Turkey .
Loved hearing about you in fan mode, you big Spursy monster.😈Scare em!😂
The Palace game was pants. You’re lucky to have missed it. But the Villa game was worth the laggyness, haha, I was jet lagged from Asia myself.😅
Coys~ we need to push on and catch up with the league leaders, esp after smashing Man City.🎉
For you US based fans, all the premature and impatient negativity for Brennan and Solanke reminds me of how Coach Deion (Prime) Sanders was received when first taking over the Univ of Colorado Buffalo 🦬 football team. But now a year+ on and contenting for a league title, many of those ‘haters’ have had to eat their words. Solanke’s WORLD CLASS pressing alone is worth $50M in Ange’s system. He changes the tempo of how the opposition plays out which leads to so many turnovers for us. And we are watching the talented Johnson evolve in front of our eyes into Spurs’ next great lethal attacker…
Enjoy Istanbul, I loved it there!
I did wonder where you had got to as there hadn't been any recent videos, and you weren't in the pre match presser. I went for the first time ever on Sunday, but I didn't see you around, although didn't expect to 😂 although I did see someone i know from down my way, who used to train me at football 30 odd years ago 😂 glad you got home safe, and we can now have regular videos 😂
Think in long run get more from Lucas gray Moore and Lanksher playing on Thurs regardless of result
I think the Ange effect is really starting to seep into the players. Johnson has noted previously about how Ange has drummed into him exactly where he should position and run when on the attack. No coincidence that he is in such good form. One player was asked what Ange said at half time to rev them up and the answer was along the lines, "He did not say much. Just keep on doing what we do and it will come. It was the other players who spoke most." Apparently Kulusevski said, "If we get 1 we will get 4." He has become a real leader and comes on all Ange like when interviewed, "We just need to keep working hard. We need to keep improving," etc. Even when being praised about a particular play he noted "Yes, that is what the gaffer wants from me. When I don't do that he gets very annoyed." You can imagine what that might look like. Sarr seems to play with incredible freedom considering he is gliding through thick traffic a lot of the time and passing without fear. I remember a Celtic player say that Ange does not get upset if you give the ball away if you are playing his way, "Just go and get it back." Don't now what Vicario was like in his previous teams but he is really vocal out there and obviously delights when he gets the captains armband. He has obviously taken to the play out from the back idea, even though it gives me shivers at times. cheers mate!
In the first half we didn’t really look like a threat anywhere. Second half, aside from the brilliant assist, you could see Sonny just looking more and more sharp and dangerous. It just looked like we would be scoring from the left wing soon. I think that is why Sonny was upset. It was a pivotal moment of an important game where the momentum was just shifting. And you did see a drop off on the left when Richarlison came on. Suddenly it didn’t look clear where our chances would come from for a while. Fortunately the lads surged and we ended up overrunning Villa in the end. Hopefully no more injury worries for Sonny for the rest of this season! COYS!
2 in 64 set pieces
We may not have conceded from direct set pieces, but not defending the set piece adequately has lead to countless goals conceded from open play directly from a set piece, it’s something that definitely needs to be addressed
What about Alfie Dorrington getting minutes ??
Romero has been named in the Argentina squad so if he doesn’t play In the next two games does that mean the club can stop him flying out to Argentina?
Son made two comments after substitution which might be where the confusion has come from. First he sat down and seemed to shout "Why?" then when they cut back to him a second time on TNT Sports footage, he turned and said something to someone else on the bench like "Why the f**k did I come off?" or "Why the f**k was it me?". It was easy to lipread at the time, but my memory is not so good, so I might have remembered it slightly wrong. I turned to the missus and said he was really not happy as he was swearing at the time, so the F word part was definitely accurate!
COYS 🤍💙
