They should have been champing at the bit for the Lisbon match. So true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scariest thing is that it always felt like this was going to happen, everything in the game set up the finale/denouement - there`s no worse team to face than one that is on a losing run, manager`s position threatened and so on, it`s terrifying. This is the main lesson I have learned from Tottenham and I would strongly advise Jurgen not to repeat any other of our silly mistakes. What about that backpass though... I mean, blimey.

IbanezJem Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I can`t help but feel that seeing a bunch of ex-Arsenal players looking dejected and out of Europe is responsible for at least 27% of my delight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbanezJem Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) Wonder if PSG finding a way to be in Pot 2 (via away goals scored, in a competition that no longer bothers with away goals) will be a complete nightmare for Spurs... or if we`ll draw Brugges or Benfica... hmmm. Well, it is immaterial, who knows what kind of world we`ll be in when the knockout stage commences in about fifteen weeks time. By then, a lot of expensive players could be sulking, retired, horribly injured etc., and some sort of resolution in Ukraine must be a bit nearer.

IbanezJem Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I don`t like the Emery & Lopetegui additions to the PL managers roster. If the league has the best 20 managers in the world, what does that means for the normal course of events? You could always rely on a few teams playing like bums, but if managers of the calibre of these two are mooching around in the midlands, not even at presitigious London/North West clubs, isn`t this going to make it even harder for Spurs to win anything ever again?

Eh, they're not programming robots or anything. I don't think Pep managing Wolves would suddenly turn Robert Plant's favorite side into title contenders. I'm willing to wager the obstacle for the mids isn't a matter of strategy or formation. In other news, the temporary TRF Bragging Rights Match comes tomorrow, and I'm curious about which LFC side will show up; I hope it's the European version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Tottenham will diagnose, prescribe medication, and provide the rehabilitation needed to cure Liverpool`s ailments. We have been atrocious against every "big" team this season, and we`re not going to let your league position trick us into thinking you are a mid-table team! In addition, I can only imagine quite how Spurs will approach this game. We`ve adopted the underdog role, never crossing the halfway line until late in the second half, and that was when we had Son and Kane and Kulusevski and Richarlison. Now we have poor old Harry all on his own. Edited November 6, 2022 by IbanezJem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it is true that a PL managed by 20 Peps would see 3 Peps relagated and only 1 Pep winning the title, I think it`s going to extremely difficult to get those 90+ numbers for "normal" clubs not bankrolled by nation states. I predict that the table will become more condensed over the coming seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
