Tottenham Hotspur 21-22: Ted Lasso Season 2
All of this. The biggest problem with Kane has been primarily the lack of service and not his mental state. That lack of service comes from a shit midfield. The midfield personnel aren't creative enough, and NES's tactics have the players that are starting in the midfield playing too deep to contribute to any offense. There's a reason why we're just punting the ball from our own box to Kane and Son. Our midfielders are too spread out. That's what set up the first goal yesterday. We just punted it from a couple of yards outside our own 18 yard box up to Kane, who didn't contest the Arsenal defender, only to see it get headed back to start a counter. Didn't even try to play it out of the back with Dele, Ndombele, or Hojbjerg. The Argentines didn't exactly think through their move to play during the International Break. What a waste for everyone. How many minutes did they actually play? That was handled poorly by everyone involved. I think that the club felt like the EPL was going to issue some kind of ruling impacting all clubs, then they got caught flat footed when nothing was decided prior to Cutty and Gio hopping on a private plane right after our last game before the break. That break killed our momentum. Sell Dele, he needs a fresh start. He's looking like a headcase. Ndombele needs to go as well, if he hasn't checked out, he will by the festive period and he's too manic/mercurial. He's our second highest paid player and it's a roll of the dice week to week if he makes an appearance. After 3 managers having issues with him, he needs to so somewhere else. Go after some creative midfielders. Go after a manager that promotes attacking futbol. This is what Levy said he wanted; to get back to "the DNA of our club". Then he goes and hires a Director that doesn't share that philosophy. Go build the club around your vision, quit being contrarian to your vision by going after the first thing that glitters (Mourinho). This team started to fade in January 2019 when they sold Dembele. That was the right move since he was 32, becoming injury prone and admitted that he couldn't have kept up with the physical play in the Premier League. But, Spurs didn't have a replacement and Dembele was irreplaceable. Couple that with Eriksen leaving a year later, and that leaves a hole that hasn't been close to being filled. Poch wasn't the problem, lack of investment in the first team and not moving out dead weight was the issue. Poch should have stayed, and certain players should have gone. NES won't go anywhere for awhile, because there's no one else to come in and run the club. But, he ain't the answer. By the end of the year we need to have decided on a new manager and a list of transfer targets. Go get those players as soon as possible and get them in training before August. Sell other players as well. I think this is Kane's last hurrah. He'll go to the continent next year.

I think this about sums it up. I'm old enough to remember when Levy said he wanted a manager that promoted attacking futbol.

3-0 Nuno isn't the answer. One goal from open play in the Premier League and that was on August 15th. It'll be October next week. Jesus. Mourinho 2.0

Strong lineup. Lo Celso and Romero starting on the bench is a little interesting. Emerson too. Glad to see Lucas back.

Saw him in FW the Monday before. I dug the set list of blues. He's still good. Only complaint was the encore. Paul Carrack singing and not Clapton, WTF? Jimmy Vaugh playing Texas Flood to open was nice too!

With Lo Celso and Ndombele coming out, I think that's the white flag. I don't know if it says more about Ndombele or NES, that he's coming out for Skipp.

Will Ndombele make an appearance today? With one sub already used, and Gil set to make an appearance, it's a 50/50 proposition he'll come in.

Midfield is non-existent. If Gil doesn't get into the match, I'd be surprised.

COYS!!!! Spurs are a MASH unit now. Looks like we're without Son until either the Arsenal match, or October. Dier is out now too, after 10 minutes. That's not good.

Don't they miss the Europa Conference match the following Thursday as well, or will the quarantine period be over by then?
