Squad News Giovani Lo Celso is still not ready, Rodon not eligible. The Lo Celso news is now officially a worry.
Dinamo Zagreb Jose believes at this level there are no underdogs. Thankfully he at least ledges acknowledges that Zagreb is a big step up from our previous opponents in this campaign.
Changes From Palace Mourinho will naturally rotate. We’ve already played over 40 matches and need to rotate players.
What a quote, ladies and gentlemen Trophies are the salt and pepper of football. I don’t feel we could be further removed from Pochettino’s disdain for silverware.
Be nice to mark Daniel Levy’s 20 years with a trophy? Mourinho would love to help, be part of a work that can deliver a trophy, and suggests it’s unfair for an owner to be judged on trophies.
I cannot understand your mentality. The league cup is the same as the fact cup but without the crap teams.
It’s that attitude that’s the difference between winners and losers. You don’t see Pep adopting that attitude. He wants to win everything there is to win and more.
When city won the league with god knows how many games to go he didn’t sit back and light a cigar. He told the players they had to set out to break the PL points record. It’s that attitude that instills a winning mentality.
The League cup maybe a tin pot cup as you put it. But ! It’s a cup and winning it means something it gives players and managers and fans a belief they can win things.
Finally, Poch didn’t rate domestic comps or the EL in his pursuit for a top 4 place. In Jose, who has a winning mentality we have a manager, who like Pep wants to win whatever there is to win. His record proves that. Sadly for you you think a top 4 finish is winning, it’s not, and whilst fans like you adopt that attitude Levy nd Co get a free pass.
Cocoitis more like.
All players get injuries and he’s nowhere near Lamela on that score. Gio doesn’t hold back, he’s hard as nails and I fully expect him to shut a lot of people up. Either at Spurs or somewhere else eventually. Good player, injuries are part of the game unfortunately.
What like Tangy, who you also consigned to the dustbin?
We were supposed to have moved on from League Cup wins, once a decade. The next step was to get us into the World’s elite club competition regularly. I’d take beating the likes of Real Madrid over some poxy Mickey Mouse pot we squeaked 13 years ago all day long.
if we get into the Champions League next season and Jose is still here, you’ll soon see which competitions prioritises too.
This season we only have the European and domestic wooden-spoon comps on offer. Of course we have to go for them, what the f*ck else is there? 🤔 😂
Jose should trust him perhaps?
Despite all this mistrust in his fitness, lack of game time and the somewhat laughable notion that his legs might have gone, the lad still has 11 goals to his name.
Class is permanent…
Watch and see next season. Just needs a proper rest and proper healing time. Gonna ching it next season.
Cush. You’re wrong bruva. He can manners the ball. He can carry it out and wreck.
Poch, for all the good things he did he misjudged the appetite fans have and want for silverware.
I hear Spurs fans saying he got us he got the club. He didn’t IMO. He got bits, not all. Had he, he would have put more effort into domestic competition and even the EL. Too many missed chances for glory.
We need to be up for this game,I think they will give us problems.Usually teams from Croatia are technically good and could test our defenders.I think you will see a very strong team for tomorrow.Let’s hope Bale continues his improvement.
Gio has Baleitis
Gotta agree Steve.His injury record is very concerning and raises again the question of our recruiting and medical team.
I was excited about him joining,but he has let us down with very few contributions to the team.Admittedly he has been targeted in games,but he does seem easy to knock off the ball.Very disappointing.
Gio has worried me for months now.. So finally his ‘important’ hamstring has recovered.. But now he has an accumulation of injuries with backache given as the main.. Lets hope he doesn’t pick up a headache or a neckache before next season… Waste of money this guy, rarely impresses when he does occasionally play..
