Reminds me a little of Ole. Different styles of course as Ole favours an attacking brand at Utd whereas Southgate a defensive one with England but both have great squads at their disposal yet are tactically inept at getting them over the line when it really matters.

We’ll see if Ronaldo can cover for Ole’s ineptitude this season but I’d probably say even he can’t do it.
<laugh>
 
Apparently Paskotsi had a really good game tonight. Played 86 mins and helped Estonia keep a clean sheet against Wales.

Doesn’t look like he’ll get too many chances in the ECL this season as we’re stacked in both of his usual positions so I think the club should look at trying to get him out on loan. Loan window is still open/ due to open soon I think.

Well, glad I missed all that (did not realise there were 3 fixtures over this period) ,

Any serious Spurs walking wounded, or is it just squad quarantine grief
due to enforced Corona quarantine for likes of our Argy contingent ??

On top of the Argies and Sanchez, we have:
Sess injured and will miss Palace (confirmed by Dan KP).
Skipp had a groin issue and is being assessed, touch and go.
Son had some tightness with South Korea, think he'll be ok to play but whether that'll be for 90 mins or not I'm not sure.
Bergwijn applied ice to his foot after the Netherlands game.

So potentially 7 first team players, mainly first XI players too, will either be out or possibly not 100% fit for the weekend.

So yeah, we're looking good <rofl>

That has prepped me for accepting a dirge game if it means a win,

More serious is whether any of the Corona quarantined are
not available for the Chelsky game (that is the biggie) .

Yeah they should be available for that, their estimated return date to London is the 16th and we play Chelsea on the 19th.
 
Premier League: Players avoid bans over failing to report for international duty - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58522907

So our players comply with the rules and can't play for us. Everyone else breaks the rules and the punishment is waived.

Because it affected Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea and City. Wouldn’t have been over turned if it had been smaller clubs affected
