How the fuck has one 10 minute spell ruined our entire season
just be glad it happened near the middle of the season and not near the end to ruin your whole year
Feel like Spurs fans knew the threat was looming because I seen a lot of “if x happens, we’re fucked”. Unfortunately x happened twice in the one match with VDV and Maddison. If anything happens to Son, prepare the eulogy.
It hasn’t ruined your entire season. Spurs are still in a great position now to push for a CL place which would’ve been well above expectations at the start of the season. Even with your great start a serious title challenge was more fantasy than Lord of the Rings.
Most peoples concerns are the push for a CL place.
Lost VDV til potentially January so backlines dodgy. Lost our creative engine for ???. And that’s during a really tough run of games.
Then in January we lose Sarr/Biss who’ve been running the midfield for AFCON, and Son for the Asian cup.
Could be a really derailing run of results from here til February.
I think you’ll be alright for AFCON. Bentancur is back, Hojbjerg is hardly a slouch (and not too dissimilar to Gallagher, who Postecoglou wanted). January is a relatively nice time to lose them too, with not many PL games, no EFL cup semi, and a potentially easy FA Cup draw.
There’s also a good chance that most of your other players will be back then. Even just getting Romero back after a few games will put you back into a good position. With no Europe or EFL Cup I don’t think you’ll be in too bad a position for December.
I mean look at us last year, some random 10 mins bullshit euro game decimated any hope we had at a title shot
That’s a reach to say spurs were in a position to bottle it this year. This league is City’s until it isn’t
It do be like that. But tbh idk if this will completely ruin your season. Might be derailed for a bit but there’s still 75% of the season to go.
