How the fuck has one 10 minute spell ruined our entire season

[–] zxnoregretzxzx@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

Just imagining Saruman watching Spurs-Chelsea on the Palantir has me cracking up

[–] airz23s_coffee@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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…..

[–] conceal_the_kraken@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

Becuase ye’re spurs, bottling is in your DNA

[–] CaptainAureus@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lack of squad depth

[–] kanavi36@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Merkarov@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

What happened to QPR? They used to have a football team, right?

Ah yeah, I didn't look far enough down the table

[–] kruegerc184@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I mean look at us last year, some random 10 mins bullshit euro game decimated any hope we had at a title shot

[–] BannedFromHydroxy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tottenham 🤝 Arsenal 🤝 Bottling the league due to injuries

[–] Plainbrain867@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] kruegerc184@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah its not a bottle for you what so ever. Dudes smoked

[–] Neat-Shallot-5701@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

A bullshit euro game where we rotated half the squad to avoid injuries aswell

[–] Virusaurus@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Happened to united last season too. Marrinez, varane and garnacho all out when firing so hot coming into the biggest games. Spuds

[–] SufficientFerret8124@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

just be glad it happened near the middle of the season and not near the end to ruin your whole year

[–] mattBJM@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The league games in the middle of the season are worth the same as the league games at the end of the season

[–] RasenRendan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The Christmas season usually makes or breaks a season

[–] Piats99@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know. Ask Pogba.

[–] iKSv2@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I mean you have played 0 mins since the match. at least let there be something to concrete (results-wise) base this on.

[–] Cailucci@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It is the history of the Tottenham

[–] gryffindor918@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The curse. Happened with us with Tomiyasu and Saliba vs Sporting. 12 minutes to ruin our title dreams

[–] GameplayerStu@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] rekirts_motnahp@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

More like "if x happened were fucked", and then it was xxxxxxx

[–] SouthFromGranada@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately X happened twice

Well yeh, X is always gon' give It to ya.

Arsenal : first time ?

[–] grollate@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That’s especially low coming from Poch to be putting a lemon curse on us!

[–] YorkiePork@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] klashne2@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] sreesid@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Those damn lemons that Poch has in his office!
