Hanukkah Decorations and Party Supplies. Reform, Conservative and Egalitarian Haggadahs. Fingers crossed that we see some ‘dare’ and some ‘do’. The great Keith Burkinshaw once famously said “there used to be a football club over there” and while Tottenham Hotspur the ‘brand’ is flying the football side is plummeting and needs to improve quickly.Īs is football we have two games this week to right the wrongs. If you asked me which forward line was carrying a combined age of 70 I wouldn’t have picked Manchester United pair…. Ronaldo and Cavani were world-class yesterday. Royal played a cross into the near post and rather than attack the ball Kane was loitering at the far post and the ball dropped into no man’s land.Ī spell on the bench with Son at centre-forward (as was the case for the start of the season) may help the team and player. One incident yesterday appeared to sum up Kane’s contribution for me. Without this in his game, he looks horribly isolated. It appears there is now an instruction not to play too deep. The whole summer saga has clearly destabilised the whole squad and is clearly taking its toll on Harry himself. I will be honest and say I am running out of excuses for him now. Time will tell if this transfer deal was well structured…. I know that players always become better players when not playing or leave, but boy do we miss Lamela’s combative nature. The Brazilian has been our only genuine threat over the last few weeks and always seems to be playing for the shirt. The substitution of Lucas Moura (presuming no injury) was baffling and 60-odd thousand Spurs fans wasted no time in voicing their opinion. Davies is viewed as more defensive than Reguilon and can sit deep alongside the centre-backs while Lo Celso is pulling up trees for Argentina.īut sadly Davies gave Ronaldo way too much space to volley in the first goal and Lo Celso continues to look like the puzzle no Spurs manager can solve. 
The selection of Davies and Lo Celso over Regulion and Ndombele may have been explainable. There were some strange decisions by Nuno yesterday which didn’t help the fans’ mood. Even the ability to spring forward on the counter (one bright spot from the Mourinho era) doesn’t seem to be there. Unless the plan is to have as few shots as possible, frankly there doesn’t seem to be a plan. However once Manchester United scored it didn’t feel like Spurs would ever get back in the game such is their lack of creativity these days.
The players seemed to start the game with more intensity than in recent weeks and arguably it may have been different if Romero’s goal hadn’t been disallowed for offside during the first half. I like to try to be balanced when covering matches but yesterday was turgid viewing. It looks a lonely place for the Portuguese coach both figuratively and literally at the moment. This is never good for any relationship and when the chips are down will always be exaggerated.Īs I have covered before, my view is that Nuno’s backroom staff seem short in terms of number and experience. The difference between Nuno and Arteta is that I’m not sure Spurs really wanted Nuno as a first choice and appeared to be way down the list of candidates. With this in mind maybe its not quite time to hit the panic button yet, but levy’s hand must be hovering over it.
This shows that Football changes very quickly and Arsenal fans were in despair as recently as the start of the season following the Brentford defeat.
In Arsenal’s case, they are now 2 months unbeaten having kept faith with a Manager they actually wanted and backed a set of young and hungry young players to come good.
