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
How the fuck has one 10 minute spell ruined our entire season
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.
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.
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.
I mean look at us last year, some random 10 mins bullshit euro game decimated any hope we had at a title shot
Arsenal : first time ?
Happened to united last season too. Marrinez, varane and garnacho all out when firing so hot coming into the biggest games. Spuds
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.
just be glad it happened near the middle of the season and not near the end to ruin your whole year
A serious miss for them.
Guess we see now how good they are!
Theres always next season.
Thats ferrari motto
I don't want to speak to soon, who knows maybe somehow we beat wolves and City still. But this season was never about winning the league and the fact that it's even discussed still amazes and excited me. Before the season started I'm pretty sure most Spurs fans would be happy with coming 6th whilst playing nice football given that we were obviously working towards something. especially now that Kane has gone
It sounds like the update is that he's been left out of the England squad, meaning he's for sure out a couple weeks. Not a lot of details beyond that.
The comments in here are wild, mainly from people who can’t wait to talk bad about Spurs, it’s not like any team losing a key player could face some set back. Arsenal is a shit team, yet on this sub they’re stronger than early 2000 galacticos.
People always eventually get sick of media darlings. It's nothing new.
Arsenal is a shit team??? You think this is 2019??
Arsenal are a shit team? I wouldn't disagree if you said they were overrated on here, but to say they're shit is just nonsense. They're one of the top 3 teams in the league easily.
RIP fpl. Who to pick now?
There are a lot of quality midfielders available. Son if you don't have it yet, if you have two transfers and have Romero or Udogie you can go for Palmer (for the penalties alone he's a good cheap pick) and Trippier for example, or if you have only Maddison, you can trade him for Bowen, Mitoma or one of the Arsenal lads. Since I had Romero and did a transfer already, provably will wait to see if he returns after the national team break (and hope he does not drop price twice).
I picked palmer since he's cheaper and a guaranteed started, and decided to buy better players with the money left.
Look, I know Palmer is literally Chelsea's best player right now, but with nkunku's return who do you think is gonna lose his place? I think palmer is not as nailed as u might think
I think Palmer is much more likely to move to one of the wings than the bench. Losing his creativity and intelligence would be disastrous when our strikers take 5 good chances to score a goal.
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.
The amount of people so gleeful about injuries for us is quite distasteful
Tough for him. It’s always a matter of when not if for an injury.
The rate of injuries all over Europe is out of control right now, and then you factor in how the transfer prices for reinforcements just keep going up. It's a bubble and very concerning.
No wonder everyone has thin squads when it costs so much just to get a viable starting 11, who then get over played.
Yep - for all the shit Chelsea and United get (rightfully) for underperforming, there's only so much that you can do when you're missing basically an entire team's worth of players.
For a good few weeks, Chelsea and Manchester United could put out an "out XI" that was better than their starting XI...
I wish it were just a good few weeks for Chelsea. :(
Tbf, we're out of it a good bit. Just Lavia, Nkunku, Chilly, Chalobah, Chukwuemeka and Fofana out longterm, although Nkunku is almost back
That has nothing to do with Spurs. They only have the league and the cup.
This is Matt Law, given that he didn’t say Maddison is dead, him missing international duty is probably just a precaution.
Wolves away is suddenly looking a lot more tricky than it did a week ago
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
Mate, it's Tottenham.
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.
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.
Lolz. Karmic after going through this thread

People celebrating his injury and shrugging it off coz it was United. Not funny when it happens to someone else eh?
