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
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.
That’s what I thought too when I first saw it. Didn’t really seem to twist it, more like he just pulled up suddenly which is never good. But I thought he was walking on it after, if it was a serious Achilles problem I doubt he could. Hopefully he’s alright
You could weight bear on a partially ruptured achilles, but it could still require a few months to heal.
Tendons do not get the same blood supply as muscle, so they take a lot longer to heal.
I swear I remember Sky showing an angle of him pulling up holding his hammy
He’s a fantastic player, but injuries are his biggest flaw.
They celebrated bentas acl
Is anyone really surprised, Isn’t this James Maddison’s M.O…
Play really well for a few weeks, then get injured for 2 months… Repeat.
Unfortunately yes, it is. Although I think most people were hopeful that our lack of fixture congestion this year would allow us an extended run with him.
I guess it’s now about showing the other half of the squad and seeing if Ange can get a tune out of the traditional underperformers on the bench.
Gio, Dier, Davies, etc are all going to have to step up massively, and we’ll see if Angeball works so well with a depleted squad.
On the other hand, this is an opportunity for the younglings to break into the team. Veliz will no doubt get minutes, and hopefully Ashley Phillips can get some time in the back line.
How? Im looking and he averaged like 35 starts in the last 6 years around 40 games played per season. Transfermarkt says he was only injured for more than a month twice. It looks like he mostly missed England games than Leicester games.
I am sorry spurs fans. Fuck injuries man. They take all the promise out of a positive season.
Sad to see rival fans celebrating injuries and holding this over spurs as ‘karma’. I would never wish injury on a player, not even one of my bitterest rivals.
This has gone beyond karma. This is God deciding that “Fuck Tottenham”.
Rivals are really really desperate for us to lose, more than usual
Fs my FPL team is in bits now
So many injuries this season across all the clubs, seems to be impacting the Top 7 quite badly.
Apart from City of course who just have De Bruyne out and definitely aren’t taking PED’s to keep their injuries in check. Arsenal did it with ‘vitamin’ injections in the 90’s
Everyone does that. It’s a multi-billion dollar industry where players can make generational wealth. Anyone who thinks PED usage isn’t rife at the top levels of every major sport is naive as hell.
With city’s players often flying out to see the doctor Pep has been using since he was a player (pep got caught twice for drug cheating whilst working with this doctor)
City just have an incredibly strong squad, they can sub anyone and lose very little quality.
They also control their games and aren’t doing quite as many full field sprints to track back. Or, at the very least, that’s what I suspect the stats will back up.
Except Rodri apparently
True, but every team would struggle without their most important player
It’s definitely the knock-on effects from the mid-season WC i reckon
A lot of teams had american preseasons aswell, playing on those pitches fucked over Arsenal
Yeah I’m wondering if teams will be avoiding American tours next summer especially after the euros. I think it’d be pretty cool to just do a local tour
And paid the refs as well dont forget. You just don’t have a chance do you?
Mate, it’s Tottenham.
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
A serious miss for them.
Guess we see now how good they are!
How the fuck has one 10 minute spell ruined our entire season
Ah you’re at the ‘we got injury’s our seasons over’ stage of Ange ball. Don’t worry he’ll sign some fucking ballers in January.
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
Unfortunately X happened twice
Well yeh, X is always gon’ give It to ya.
Becuase ye’re spurs, bottling is in your DNA
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.
They’ve got the top 3 scoring teams in their next 5 games with a weakened backline, that sort of thing can knock confidence quite a bit.
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.
Keep talking, I’m nearly there……
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.
Just imagining Saruman watching Spurs-Chelsea on the Palantir has me cracking up
Arsenal : first time ?
I mean look at us last year, some random 10 mins bullshit euro game decimated any hope we had at a title shot
A bullshit euro game where we rotated half the squad to avoid injuries aswell
Tottenham 🤝 Arsenal 🤝 Bottling the league due to injuries
That’s a reach to say spurs were in a position to bottle it this year. This league is City’s until it isn’t
Yeah its not a bottle for you what so ever. Dudes smoked
Happened to united last season too. Marrinez, varane and garnacho all out when firing so hot coming into the biggest games. Spuds
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
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
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
Lack of squad depth
It’s those lemons…
That’s especially low coming from Poch to be putting a lemon curse on us!
Poch Voodoo
I don’t know. Ask Pogba.
Those damn lemons that Poch has in his office!
I mean you have played 0 mins since the match. at least let there be something to concrete (results-wise) base this on.
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
this is why he cost only £40m
He requires the team to revolve around him, he’ll exceed expectations by scoring and assisting regularly, then he’ll get injured and the club will be clueless on how else to play because everything revolved around him.
Spurs will get 4pts max in the next 7 games
4 points in 7?
Sure, Jan.
What watching so much anime does to a mf
