A few Spurs fans got a bit excited when we had a decent game v Westham and didn’t concede. Some of the comments “ maybe this is our future Dier and Sanchez “ “ they looked solid “ , but I stood silent. Why ? Because I knew for a fact this defence of ours is a complete joke and possibly up there among the worse defences in the league.
Davies, Sanchez, Dier, Aurier. Looking at that list makes my eyes bleed. I’m sorry, but that’s lower midtable at best. The issue is we can’t really draft in Verts or Toby because they are finished. It’s sad to see, but they have regressed so much.
Like I keep saying, we need a complete rebuild of that defence. Sell Aurier. Sell Dier. Sell Sanchez. Sell Davies. Buy 4 new defenders and completely rebuild. They can’t be any worse than the s** these bunch of losers have conjured up for the last year. Every single one of them utter wa**. Poor defending that was a shambles under Poch and a shambles under Mourinho. A defence that will never be good. Every single one of our defenders bar Tanganga are useless and need selling ASAP.
That defence

Don, decent article, but I am more worried about our forwards, absolutely useless all of them, other than Kane, who does still score goals, although not so many. The others Moura, Son, Dele, Lamela are so tippy tappy and absolutely hopeless in front of goal. That is Spurs major problem, those players, who are supposed to be some of our best, are not nearly as good as supporters make out.
I mean when was the last decent game Son had? He scored one worldy goal this season, and has done next to nothing else. Same with Moura, scored a CL semi hat-trick then nothing since. Dele has regressed and Lamela is just Lamela runs around a lot, zero end product.
The defence is not brilliant, but that is not the part of the team that needs a major overhaul, it is from the midfield going forward that does. Lots of possession, zero end product in the final third. Any half decent side would have put that Sheffield team to bed before half-time last night.

Sandy just before a loss to Sheff Utd which he predicted 4-0 win to Spurs:
Spurs should be up and flying from the off come next season. And will be a big, big player now that Jose is gradually starting to remould his team. Defence once again now looks set in stone. Tick. Midfield is now being rebuilt around Lo Celso. Tick. Kane and Son should be back to their absolute best. Tick. Spine of the team now looking strong again.

Son and Dele have proved their quality though. We havent been able to build up properly from midfield and defence to get the most out of our forward players.
Even when we were good we wouldnt score our first chance and would miss several good ones in a game.

Toby signed the new contract because he knows deep down he is beyond his peak and knew he was on to a good thing when it landed in his lap.
Nothing to do with Jose being a serial winner (in the past).

One more time.................
Yesterday's starting back four has to be replaced...totally.
And keeping Vertonghen and Alderweireld on contract is not the answer.... they are both past their prime.
Young up and coming defenders like Upamecano need to be bought in (RBLeipzig & France U21).
Levy...
He'll buy another wrong Fernandes
