another player who played all summer, no rest, no pre season.... Dele's done his hamstring.... it happened right in front of me... i heard him tell the physio !!!! ... oh well... nice planning Spurs you numpties !!!
No idea where we go from here.... this will keep happening... squad isn't good or deep enough to try and win 4 competitions and have lots of internationals
Dunno how we will beat a Chelsea team who are gonna get a rocket this week after yesterday.., either way ... City will spank both of us
Rest of the season will be all about clinging to Top 4. I'll be stunned if we finish above United so prob between us and chelsea. There's NO WAY we will sign anyone this month... just hope we keep enough senior guys fit to blend in a few kids
Levy must be happy... stadium coming along, poch still producing miracles, lost his United audition game and the Net spend came down another 11 mln... i think Daniel would call that a good few weeks !!!

Dele did his hamstring at the World Cup and again earlier in the season.
It’ll probably be a thing that keeps happening from now on

OP
It`s an injury that happended in January, absolutely nothing to do with the World Cup that happened in June/July.
Are you seriously saying every single player for every country that played in the world cup, should be wrapped up in cotton wool?

No.... i'm saying that Spurs had more players st the latter stages of the WC, resulting in a shorter break, no preseason and as a result we have injuries which any squad would struggle with. Our problem being we didn't sell players in the summer and recycle/ try to freshen things up... meaning there would have been less reliance to play Kane, Dele, eriksen, Dier, Jan and toby all the time. Our squad is not of the required quality to challenge on multiple fronts. if you wanna take a victory lap for still being in the FA cup in jan, making it out of the CL group stages then go ahead ! Spurs should have planned better knowing how reliant they are on their starting 11 and knowing that Dembele, toby, janssen, KGN and rose we're up for sale and went unsold ( our transfer budget) in the summer . we are muddling by but going nowhere ( thanks to Poch).. top 4 hopefully but Dortmund are gonna spank us and so will city if we make the LC final.
There's a naive difference between what we are doing vs Liverpool and city and chelsea and United have the finances to properly fack us

almost everyone said you had to strengthen the squad in the summer. one of the best starting 11's in the pl but injuries which every team gets you may not be able to cope with.

Fatigue causes muscle injuries. That's fairly well known.
