To add more weight to yesterday's game, Brentford only lost 2 games at home last season and this is still a team that's teething. Admittedly we should have nicked it, but not the worst start against a solid home team.

One silver lining from Kane sale, is that spurs can now press as a unit.

Tough to get a 30 goal a season striker, but hopefully with a team in the correct press up top and secondary press, they will create more and share the goals out. Don’t forget before haaland, city had several years where they didn’t have a player score 20+. But they had 5 or 6 make double figures

Vlahovic is strongly being touted as a possibility to come in as there is a good relationship between spurs and Juventus.

The problem Juventus has is the replacement with their target being subject of hate from their ultras.

Gift Orban could be purchased and loaned out.

Spurs need to trim their squad first and there is 9 players in negotiations to be released in the coming weeks

Lloris
Ndombele
Taganga
Sanchez
Dier
Spence
Hojbjerg
Reguillon
Sesseagon

It appears lo Celso is in the managers plan and same with sarr. Dier is allowed to leave

It wasn't unexpected for me. Crazy Anyway, a good second half performance and good to see the goals being shared around and a clean sheet. Definitely need to sign some sort of a striker though as Richarlison is not the solution. It's certainly been more entertaining than the dross we watched under Jose/Nuno/Conte.

I think Richarlison has goals in him, Hard working and super gifted but can be prone to sulking. (I'm a big fan)...

If he starts next 4 games, He'll bag 4 goals minimum.. price?

95/1. Cool  Big Ange will probably drop him if he continues to sulk. Son looked a bit better when he plays more centrally.

Thanks for the above words guys; a nice touch. All done and now just waiting to see if it's been a success. Predominantly a rewiring of the sternum sofa, that didn't heal following a bypass in 2020. They have also repaired a tennis ball sized hernia, protruding from just below the ribcage. It's been a difficult wait for this op and probably another 6 weeks to go before I can start to feel normal again, but I'd rather this than trying to live with an unstable sternum any longer.

Rumours are that spurs have enquired about 3 strikers

Johnson from Nottingham forest
Vlahovic from juventus
Watkins from Villa

Back up plan is the Porto Iranian striker on loan.
Report sofaking August 28, 2023 1:56 AM BST
50 million for Brennan Johnson?   I don't know anything about this guy but he seems vastly overpriced. And he's a million miles away a being the prolific striker.  Villa would probably ask 80m+ for Wally Otkins so that's a non-starter.
Report BULLET TOOTH TONY August 28, 2023 10:19 AM BST
Spurs could only have 40 games this season.

Unless unfortunate injuries happen, they should have a settled fit team. If they get a player to finish these chances Richy has failed, then they would be challenging the European places.

Don’t know if Johnson is that focal part of attack, but then again do they require a focal part of attack under this system?

If they stick with R9 then he might get 10 goals this season, which in this style 15 is a bare minimum target surely

All decisions last night made little sense. The only realistic chance of a sniff of a trophy as sofaking said was that competition. The players don't have European matches "sapping" their energy and there is a break coming up. Why not play a full strength team? And I'm not beating up on him as I do feel sorry for the abuse he receives but again with sofaking here. Sanchez? He should have been last in the queue.

Absolute disaster, what on earth was Postercoglou thinking?
He must have been told the shortcomings of each and every player who started last night
but obviously chose to ignore them.
The easiest cup to win but fell at first hurdle.
From having an 100% approval rate, he's managed to shoot himself in the foot and now it is considerably lower.
He's also by default devalued most of the players on the transfer list by a wide margin.
The usual suspects are still at the club Ndonbele,Regullon,Sessegnon,Hojjberg, Lo Celso,Perisic, Tanganga proving immovable.

With Bentacur on the way back, Bissouma showing some excellent form and Maddison making a huge difference, we're already showing signs of a recovery. Van de Ven is showing some early promise, as is Udogie who has really impressed me. Sarr is also showing some early promise, but still a little to be learned at this level, but I've no doubt he's willing. Another signing would be great, but throwing money away, like we obviously have with Richarlison, is not something I want to see on the final day of the window. We have something to build upon and the next few months should highlight precisely what we need.

After that Cup disaster I'm not expecting anything from this season at all, but am hoping we can turn a corner and start a rebuild like no other. Posty needs to learn that we need to compete in ALL competitions, especially when we're out of Europe. A poor decision that I hope he'll learn from, as it hasn't pleased many of the faithful at all.

Was not too keen on the Johnson purchase, especially for the price, but to be fair to him, he took that goal pretty well. Shame it was offside. These next two games will tell where we are. Win or lose, no pressure for me. He cannot fully shape his team until he sees us against top opposition and learns how we cope. I feel we were a little fortunate against Utd and on another day, they could have finished the game off in the first half. That was an eye opener, now for the real thing with two teams showing a little form. Utd clearly aren't.
