If for you, critical thinking is something that happens to other people, then the next steps for Daniel Levy are all too obvious. The Portuguese Pulis needs to be sacked with immediate effect, and Harry Redknapp be returned to his rightful place as the most exciting football manager Tottenham Hotspur has ever seen.
Overnight, Gareth Bale will switch back on his turbo jets, Harry Winks will rekindle his Iniesta tribute act, Eric Dier’s IQ will automatically bump into triple digits, Hugo Lloris’ voice will boom once again and make Brian Blessed sound like a shy choirboy. Perhaps most importantly of all. Dele Alli will return to the starting XI and score oodles of goals, and only via nutmegs!
Alternatively, one can look at the players and see that (as mentioned previously) there really are 3 glaring issues with the squad.
- There are too many duff players on the books, too many players that have run their course at Spurs.
Eric Dier, Davinson Sanchez, Harry Winks, Erik Lamela, Ben Davies
- There are players that aren’t fit for purpose
Matt Doherty, Gedson Fernandes, Carlos Vinicius, Gareth Bale, Dele Alli, Lucas Moura
- Injured players
Harry Kane, Giovani Lo Celso, Sergio Reguilon
Now, my maths isn’t great, but right now, but that’s 11 bad players, plus 3 good players missing, which leaves enough honest starting XI players to form a decent 5-a-side team. At best.
Only one man can overcome these odds – and at a price you can afford. Harry Redknapp. I’d also like Tim Sherwood as assistant to the manager.
