I'm all here for Ben Davies love! Despite what people on social media have been saying about him for the last 5 years, he's been always there to step in when needed. I feel that most of it is due to him not being some flashy or even exciting player, but he gets the job done! Every Spurs manager he's played with loved having him there and that tells everything about him
He was my MOTM-so many blocks and interventions-the unglamorous stuff which so often makes the difference between a win and a loss the people who say he is not good enough just don't seem to read the game in full.
Most improved player of the season so far hands down. He's putting in some of the most consistent performances as well. What a signing, though I could see him languishing into infinity under Conte and other coaches
Sarr is vastly under-appreciated by this fan base. His energy, his running, his stamina are different gravy. As he continue to sharpen his skills, the sky is the limit for this young guy.
One of the best complete performances that was by Tottenham yesterday. I've said this a few times, but I'm really looking forward to the 2nd and 3rd season with Ange. We're on an upward curve that will only get better. They must back him.
I'm not gonna lie, I never cared we lost because we played very well each time except vs ham. I can see the foundation being built and how he makes EVERY single player better. I'm not at all worried about our future if Ange stays and is supported. I am worried about January with 3 of our guys being gone but many are coming back, including Solomon.
Anyone else loving some Pedro Porro as much as I do? He’s like a whirling dervish this season. Absolute monster. And much respect to Ben Davies. What a Pro. I’m just frustrated we couldn’t score what might have been at least 2 goals of the season within minutes of each other.
Something about Spurs right backs that says they start awful, but get better and better and win the crowd over. Emerson Royal did it last year, Porro has done it this year.
Richarlison being truly healthy in this system could be scary. I’m excited. One thing this injury bug showed is we HAVE to be able to rotate at every position once we get back into cups and Europe, or switch it up for a tactical advantage.
He learned an important lesson from Lineker: be a goal hanger and get to score from six yards out. They count the same as 25 yard worldies and in general you can score far, far more tap ins than long-range efforts.
Spurs played different last night, It was more controlled. It wasn't attack after attack it was in staged, They pick there moments. Son showed what a winger should do and rightfully got man of the match. Sarr made such a difference. And Ben Davis. Hands down a player that deserve respect. Soiled and always gives his all. He was very good at CB. Jan will be very interesting
Jan is not like the summer. The players Spurs will go for is players that aren't playing for there current team. No club will want to sell there best players in Jan.
I did not see this coming but Pedro Porro has played his way to being one of my favourites in the team! Completely made that position his own, always plays with a smile and so much effort and energy and just has some incredible passing range and technique - definitely is looking his price tag this season. Sons performance was amazing and got my vote - those take ons for the assists exactly what we’ve been needing wingers to do. If he can play like that regularly then get him back out there for sure, I think a lot of us felt he had not been effective for a while there but that was like prime son again. Having Johnson on the other side too will scare teams for sure.
Thanks, Ali. You're right, that match had more nutmegs than a mulled wine stall at a Christmas fair. What an excellent team performance, and so many great individual ones. Ben Davies definitely one of them!
When Sonny was through the middle it felt like the wingers weren’t willing to run to the byline. After Maddison got injured that stopped for the most part. This game you saw son go through the byline and how we scored 2.
Ben Davies is an exceptional squad option, one thing he always guarantees is maximum effort, I love it when you praise him! And with Porro I feel like Ange could get him playing any position, his adaption to the new role has been incredible!
Our wings couldn't pass to Son like Son can for his teammates. What is that says about our wings. This is the sacrifice that Son had to deal with while he is playing for Tottenham. When Son came back to center in last 20 minutes, Son was dangerous.

Having Kulu, Johnson, Son and Richy on at the same time is going to give plenty of teams nightmares. They swap and change positions so fluidly and now with Udogie pushing into the box, Porro playing as a winger/midfielder and crossing the ball so well bringing Richy, Romero and Kulu headers into the attack we will have so many moving parts opposing teams aren't going to know where to look. Very soon these scorelines will become commonplace. COYS
The scary thing for the rest of the league is once Ange gets the players he wants and they FULLY buy into his way I’m UTTERLY convinced he has more tricks up his sleeve to win matches! Even Pep said he’s never seen a full back in the positions that they get into before in football. 👏🏻👏🏻. Great TEAM PERFORMANCE
@buddyylove Maybe it will take longer but I'm hoping he's going to build more than just a squad but a dynasty at Spurs, something that carries on after his time there. He gets Spurs winning things or close to but also passes down his knowledge to the coaches like Ryan Mason who will still be there after he's gone & the next manager being a guy with similar principals towards attacking football. I'm hoping Ange builds a winning culture not just a winning squad but that has to come from the board as well.
I believe it was away to Leeds last year when Lloris came rushing out of the penalty area to clear the ball completely missed it and a Leeds player was left free and clear to score a goal and then out of nowhere Ben Davies appeared to knock the ball out of danger, quite a sprint to do it. At the start of the season I was a bit worried about Pedro Porro defensive ability but I think he is by far the most improved player, not just defensively, in the squad by a long way, you'd think Harry Kane gave him lessons on passing before he left. I think Pape Mate Sarr return was a huge bonus he certainly makes Bissouma a better player and is a vast improvement on Hojbjerg, although he has his moments, I'd play Sarr every day of the week and twice on Sunday instead of him, a thought that makes me question how good Conte really is. I find interesting you mentioned Romero and that he could have been sent off but didn't mention the Newcastle player that head butted the Spurs player in the same few minutes he certainly should have been sent off but he never even got a yellow card. Romero getting banned for 4 games matters a great deal more though. Thanks for the update with the players out on loan always appreciate that, take care of yourself, stay healthy and enjoy.
Thanks Alasdair. Are you sitting on a slope?! Porro's goal celebration with Ange was a nice moment. I really hope we push on now and build momentum again. We have so many super young players in the first team .... Sarr, Udoggie, Porro, Kulu, Johnson, not to mention Van der ven . The future is bright
Will always respect and appreciate the work Ben Davies does for us, his level may not be where we need it to be long-term but he’s been a solid professional and for the most part, very reliable despite being a back up and played in a variety of roles and systems. Porro also looking very exciting and very consistent, hope we can keep him fit and on the field!
Big THE PAPE!! I’ve been shouting his praises from the rooftops from the beginning of season saying he wasn’t getting the praise he deserves. Well now I’m pretty sure people realise how important he’s been !! What a player !! Is gonna be a star 🌟
The key to spurs under Ange....is that the players are actually enjoying their jobs now, you can see it all through the team, they've all bought into this new system/philosophy and really look like they believe in themselves to do great things. COYS 💙
Good shout out regarding Porro, revelation at RB, and passionate about the club. Totally agree with your defence (excuse pun) of Ben Davies, a fantastic professional that loves the club and will not let the team down.
The significant difference between the 4 lost and 1 won? Scoring goals. The pointy end. Once it starts happening consistently you’ll have your Angeball. The second half of this season? Or next season after a couple more transfer windows? It’s coming. Always does. ✅
Alasdair, thanks for another informative analysis. A lot to be happy about. What a great and generous captain Sonny is. Loved seeing him make the pk. Glad to see Davies make a meaningful contribution. And Porro-you can always count on him. Also looking forward to see how Richarlison does in future matches. Happy for him.
Great video as always Ali! Been waiting for this since the FT whistle blew yesterday. So excited for the combinations that are building in the side. Porro, Deki, and Johnson will continue to be a really challenging proposition for our opposition
Porro has been our most consistent player this season imo. Such a crucial piece to our build up. Davies may also be the cb back up needed and can play left back. Excited for the future but just can’t help but feel so excited this season. Coys Ali
Another great watch! Watching pros play with flair and imagination is great, so nice that every manager and every team player interviewed are complimentary of the way spurs are playing.. such a refeeshing change to the spursy mockery... Wanted to give some kudos to Vicario - I wasnt an instant fan, but listening to pundits talk about Arsenals keeper dilemmas and how disruptive it is to the back fours confidence, got me thinking about the later days of Hugo and the hesitancy to pass to him or if hed be able to pass it back.. Vicario has the complete confidence of the back four
Appreciate the chats after every game win or lose. I’m fascinated this season by how certain players like Porro have come in and look like the definition of an Ange player despite being brought in such different system. What a credit it is to manager who can get the best out of his players and get them to buy into new ideas. It feels so polar opposite of what’s happening somewhere like Chelsea, where quite honestly they just aren’t playing the style of football I know Poch wants
People are saying we would have been in the bottom half of the table without Kane last season and praised him and bashed everyone else. I think without Son, we would be actually in the bottom half of the table but I don’t think he doesn’t get enough credit by his own supporters/journalists when other club fans and pundits treat him as the top top wolrd class player who’s been carrying this team
This team is growing steadily, its options for scoring expanding, its approaches to attacking becoming more varied. Plenty of it doesn't go through Son. He's really important, he's the Club Captain, but this is a real team, it's not one superhero and ten minions.
1:02:49 100% agree on Davies and in the same way as Forster… if you have him training like a beast when he’s not playing it’s invaluable in the dressing room
So glad that Porro is rewarding the faith shown in him from his early days at Spurs when people were saying he couldn't defend. He's definitely now in the running for player of the season......
When ange was talking about richarlison “moving more freely” after that game i can now see exactly what hes talking about, seems like a different player (obviously only one game but going off that looks like his form could definitely improve from what we have seen so far). Also big up ange for getting such a strong reaction.
Went to the West Ham and Newcastle games and it was like watching 2 different teams. The atmosphere in the stadium was great for both but nervy second half start against West Ham ruined it. Really enjoying the party atmosphere in the ground now. Long may it continue. Up the spurs
Maybe I’m going OTT but I do believe Ben Davies can be a LCB back up for Van Der Ven and instead of targeting a back up LCB in January (which is what reports seem to suggest) we should prioritise a RCB back up (whether Dier leaves in Jan or not). It also means we’ll need a LB back up, unless Ange thinks he can get Sess fit and firing!
thanks for the video ali! commented too quickly on one of your vids from a few weeks back and didn't realize you gave a shoutout to What We Do in the Shadows. an absolutely hilarious show, matthew berry and cast are amazing. good mix of humor, dark humor, and just enough heart as the seasons go by. a fantastic shout from you all things considered. thanks again for the videos!
Cheers Big A. I’m glad Porro is finally getting the plaudits, he’s had a fantastic season. Alongside vicario and son, all three have been our consistent performers/stayed fit.
Was looking forward to this video. What a much better result that was. Sarr and Udogie were incredible, and so happy for Richy. We will be so formidable when we get everyone back. Hope you’re well Ali
Hi. That is what tottenham fans can expect from Postecoglu teams at Spurs. Excellent. I agree with you re Davies, a true club stalwart and legend. Thanks for the fun hour plus.
Dont understand anyone who expressed a lack of patience. Its there for anyone to see during the defeats. They are learning to play progressive, aggressive and yes, attractive football. Its STILL early days but we are heading in the right direction. Get the injured back and get a few more players in and with Ange's approach and attitude we will have a winning team. Just be patient and enjoy the ride
Ride the wave they are playing top football the players a slowly buying into the system and playing the system wait till he gets more players that he things will fit the system and trust me they won't be super stars just honest footballers that play the system
Your bang on about Ben davis… when he’s paired with a tall quick partner(and has a chance to practice with them) I believe he could be very decent.. and his tenacity and willingness to die for the club are as much a part of importance… my dad always used to say never trust a good looking centre back there too scared to stick their head in where their face might get damaged 😂
Great report Alasdair, so much to comment on. We’re on a real roller coaster supporting Tottenham Hotspur. I agree with you, Ben Davies has been a great team player for Spurs. He is underrated by a coterie of fans, never mind. Every Tottenham manager includes him in their team. Son was brilliant on Sunday, what a player! Seán
Thanks for your great work, Ali ❤ Was looking forward to this one. So fascinating how a couple of new players and position changes can influence the whole team. I thought it was perfect: Sarr starting again and shining bright as always, giving Bissouma the support he needs to show his dominance, Deki through the centre being much more free-flowing and unpredictable, Johnson and Son causing problems down the wings with their pace and 1-v-1 capabilities, Richy being a constant presence, goal threat and hard worker upfront, Porro and Udogie being literally perfect for their roles, and a fabulous display by Ben Davies and Romero - apart from that one moment - as well. Delightful. Up the Spurs ❤
Great content as ever Ali! We really are lucky to have you reporting on Spurs. Thanks for acknowledging my comment on Romero (it was in your video following the loss to Aston Villa). I know he's frustrating, and I was as worried as everyone when he went in on Wilson that he'd get a 4 match ban for another red card. My only concern is how much lots of fans focus on the negatives, without appreciating all the positives he gives us.
No one seems to be talking about how Vicario opted to loft the ball into midfield multiple times in this game, rather than always play out from the back. It seemed like a nice compromise on the play.
So pleased for Richarlison, I hope he can build on this performance. I have previously remarked how Martin Chivers didn’t start to smash the goals in straight away, hopefully now Richy will now follow in Chivers footsteps.
Thank you for the video, Alasdair. It was great to see Richarlison and Sarr back and see the huge impact they made. I agree that Porro has arguably been the player of the season. It seems like a distant memory that people were questioning whether Udogie and Porro could play together. Impressed with his development and his consistency. Also would like to see more of Veliz and Donley. Especially with Richarlison looking so tired from all his pressing, it would have been nice to see both of them get 20+ minutes of game time. Their development could be crucial to Spurs having real depth for the rest of the season.
Richarlison reminded me of the clinical way he scored for Brazil during the last World Cup, I do actually rate him. By the way, with regards to Callum Wilson pot calling kettle comes to mind.
Great video as always Ali! We got to remember that Newcastle had to be running on fumes at this point, but it’s a great result all things considered. Keep up the great work!
Yes Ali, been waiting all day, checking for notifications and finally. Much better performance, result and now the perfect end to evening, your video. Cheers Ali and come on you Spurs, oh I agree, I avoid social media, well apart from your tweets of course 😁😁
Wasn’t at the match Sunday due to family commitments but managed to see it on TV. What a game and so many good performances - Porro in particular. Richie ran around like always but this time with real purpose, so happy for him.hopefully we have turned a corner and can push on from here. As always good to hear your slant (geddit !) on things Alasdair
l think we are in a better place as a team than we have been for many many years, We just need patience .In football terms Ange has only just taken over
Thanks Alasdair - for another great video. Sunday’s performance was exactly what the club and the fans needed. It’s good to hear that the club is keen to tie some of the younger players into long contracts. Need to put off the big spenders who might try and nick our players. Totally agree with you about Ben Davies - he has never let the club down and responds well even when he gets limited game time. Not a prima donna bone in his body. Great squad member.
Hi Ally, enjoying your videos by your self and also with Guesty. The team were immense yesterday,they finally managed to get a two goal lead which helped to settle them, that’s why they lost those previous games they didn’t put away the chances they made so the opposition always felt they had a chance, and as usual they gave the ball away to gift a goal.
Been waiting all day for your video ! Was bad enough last night after Sky coverage had finished until MOTD started Hopefully this gets me through to when the extended highlights are out😂
Ally, Don’t dwell on ‘what if’s’, that way lies madness. I believe in snatches this team plays the best football I have ever seen Spurs play, and I’ve been going since the mid 70s. It is scintillating. Fans need patience. Arteta had two 8th place finishes. Klopp took four years to build his team. I hate the modern attitude of ‘I want it, and I want it now!’ It’s unrealistic and destructive. I honestly believe Ange will bring us success and provide the most brilliant entertaining football if we just give him time. By that i mean two to three seasons not six months.
I will hold my hands up and admit that I've been critical of Richarlison since he arrived. He played really well the other night, so credit where it's due. As you say, the rebuild is going to take time.
Hi Ali G, I'm consuming your Tottenham content like mad. Great update as always. Lot of people missed out on an incident after the crazy Romero tackle - I think it involved Joelinton and Bissouma. Joelinton headbutted Biss, and Biss reacted with a push. Son sprinted off and held back Biss. Luckily, VAR didn't interfere. Both Bissouma and Romero need a peaceful healing season to calm their blood rush to their heads. Also, really happy for Ben Davies. Solid performance. #COYS
Richarlison so happy with that performance and those goals. Sarr and Porro were sensational. That performance with goals raining in is exactly what Ange has demanded and they responded. Son deserved a goal after his two assists for our 2-0 start. Will be at Everton game so hopefully more of the same Geordie fans are fantastic too. Hope more good news from AG after Nottingham Forest game.
Hi Alasdair, I was really looking forward to this video for all the obvious reasons, it was absolutely the performance and result that was needed after the last 5 games, what a difference it makes to have Sarr back along side Bissouma and a fit and firing Richarlison up front that released Son back onto the left enabling Johnson to play on his natural right hand side. It got my thinking that if Maddison was fit and ready to play then who would be the unfortunate player, probably out of Johnson or Kulusevski to drop out, because that front 4 with Kulusevski in the CAM slot just looked so perfect. And the same thing if say Bentancur was fit and ready, then it'd be out of Sarr and Bissouma to drop out. Anyhow, regardless of those perfect scenarios, January is going to be a big headache with Bissouma, Sarr snd Son all missing at the same time with no guarantees about who's back and fit to play by then, hopefully at least Maddison is ready which could release Kulusevski into Son's left wing spot, but it's those two DM/CM positions that concern me the most. I really hope we get Jota in early in the transfer window and another player that can play in those two DM/CM positions. If Maddison was fit and if we had Jota, then Kulusevski and even Porro could be worth a shot behind Maddison, which would mean someone else 🤷 would have to go to RB. Anyhow I'm getting ahead of myself, so let's just hopefully enjoy a little run of success through to January and let Ange work it out when the time comes as he's probably going to come up with a better solution than myself.😂 Cheers and thanks once again, Mark H.
There will always be some who don't have patience, considering what was happening last year, i am very happy with the progression. A couple of disappointing results but only a stumble in otherwise big steps forwards. Great video as always.
Thanks once more Ally! What I’ve been thinking this week is the dynamic in new technology sales where all people can be characterised as Visionary, Innovator, Pragmatist, Conservative or Laggard with 75% Pragmatic or slower in adopting a new approach. Between Pragmatism and Innovators there is a thing called the Technology Adoption Chasm where it is very difficult to convince 75% to accept the change. There is a natural tendency once the V’s and I’s are onboard that all the others baulk at the first sign of trouble. Each person requires a personal ‘handrail’ to get across the chasm based on their own experiences. I’m not a football manager but it seems to me that adapting to a new philosophy may well be very similar in nature - and the fanbase would be included in that analysis to. Stay the course everyone and she’ll be right mate 🇦🇺

Definitely, I always wondered why we didn’t make a bid for K Trippier to return, or Erickson for that matter.
Ben:……. The Quiet Hero.
Heck yeah, he’s done so well taking over from Micky. He has his short comings, but I feel like he’s quite the capable ball player going forward.
He was my MOTM-so many blocks and interventions-the unglamorous stuff which so often makes the difference between a win and a loss the people who say he is not good enough just don't seem to read the game in full.
Pedro Porro is class! 5 assists in the league, massively improved defensive game, so key in beating the press, and I’m loving his passion!
Most improved player of the season so far hands down. He's putting in some of the most consistent performances as well. What a signing, though I could see him languishing into infinity under Conte and other coaches
Pedro Porro just gets it. Of all the players he is the one who has run with the Big Ange philosophy the most.
Sarr is vastly under-appreciated by this fan base. His energy, his running, his stamina are different gravy. As he continue to sharpen his skills, the sky is the limit for this young guy.
I don't think he is. Every Tottenham supporter I engage with think he's one of the most talented young players in world football.

Romero getting banned for 4 games matters a great deal more though. Thanks for the update with the players out on loan always appreciate that, take care of yourself, stay healthy and enjoy.
Thanks Alasdair. Are you sitting on a slope?! Porro's goal celebration with Ange was a nice moment. I really hope we push on now and build momentum again. We have so many super young players in the first team .... Sarr, Udoggie, Porro, Kulu, Johnson, not to mention Van der ven . The future is bright
Will always respect and appreciate the work Ben Davies does for us, his level may not be where we need it to be long-term but he’s been a solid professional and for the most part, very reliable despite being a back up and played in a variety of roles and systems. Porro also looking very exciting and very consistent, hope we can keep him fit and on the field!
Big THE PAPE!! I’ve been shouting his praises from the rooftops from the beginning of season saying he wasn’t getting the praise he deserves. Well now I’m pretty sure people realise how important he’s been !! What a player !! Is gonna be a star 🌟
The key to spurs under Ange....is that the players are actually enjoying their jobs now, you can see it all through the team, they've all bought into this new system/philosophy and really look like they believe in themselves to do great things. COYS 💙
Feels like Romero is missing VdVs calmness. Seems like when he plays with him he doesn’t really lose his head.
Ali Gold, making commutes to work actually enjoyable. Thanks mate! 👏🏼👏🏼
Good shout out regarding Porro, revelation at RB, and passionate about the club. Totally agree with your defence (excuse pun) of Ben Davies, a fantastic professional that loves the club and will not let the team down.
The significant difference between the 4 lost and 1 won? Scoring goals. The pointy end. Once it starts happening consistently you’ll have your Angeball. The second half of this season? Or next season after a couple more transfer windows? It’s coming. Always does. ✅
Alasdair, thanks for another informative analysis. A lot to be happy about. What a great and generous captain Sonny is. Loved seeing him make the pk. Glad to see Davies make a meaningful contribution. And Porro-you can always count on him. Also looking forward to see how Richarlison does in future matches. Happy for him.
Great video as always Ali! Been waiting for this since the FT whistle blew yesterday. So excited for the combinations that are building in the side. Porro, Deki, and Johnson will continue to be a really challenging proposition for our opposition
Porro has been our most consistent player this season imo. Such a crucial piece to our build up.
Davies may also be the cb back up needed and can play left back. Excited for the future but just can’t help but feel so excited this season. Coys Ali
Lovin Ange ball. I cant wait to see us play games with Van Der Ven, Maddison & Bentancur all in this system. COYS!
Ben Davies is a rock. A great if unspectacular servant. Salute the man 👍
Another great watch! Watching pros play with flair and imagination is great, so nice that every manager and every team player interviewed are complimentary of the way spurs are playing.. such a refeeshing change to the spursy mockery... Wanted to give some kudos to Vicario - I wasnt an instant fan, but listening to pundits talk about Arsenals keeper dilemmas and how disruptive it is to the back fours confidence, got me thinking about the later days of Hugo and the hesitancy to pass to him or if hed be able to pass it back.. Vicario has the complete confidence of the back four
Appreciate the chats after every game win or lose. I’m fascinated this season by how certain players like Porro have come in and look like the definition of an Ange player despite being brought in such different system. What a credit it is to manager who can get the best out of his players and get them to buy into new ideas. It feels so polar opposite of what’s happening somewhere like Chelsea, where quite honestly they just aren’t playing the style of football I know Poch wants
People are saying we would have been in the bottom half of the table without Kane last season and praised him and bashed everyone else. I think without Son, we would be actually in the bottom half of the table but I don’t think he doesn’t get enough credit by his own supporters/journalists when other club fans and pundits treat him as the top top wolrd class player who’s been carrying this team
This team is growing steadily, its options for scoring expanding, its approaches to attacking becoming more varied. Plenty of it doesn't go through Son. He's really important, he's the Club Captain, but this is a real team, it's not one superhero and ten minions.
Loyal underrated Davies is always there for Spurs.
5 games without a win, but the one that really annoyed me was the loss to West Ham. Yep, I growled at Postecoglou, but we’re mates again now 😊.
I agree, we should have smashed West Ham.
1:02:49 100% agree on Davies and in the same way as Forster… if you have him training like a beast when he’s not playing it’s invaluable in the dressing room
So glad that Porro is rewarding the faith shown in him from his early days at Spurs when people were saying he couldn't defend. He's definitely now in the running for player of the season......
When ange was talking about richarlison “moving more freely” after that game i can now see exactly what hes talking about, seems like a different player (obviously only one game but going off that looks like his form could definitely improve from what we have seen so far). Also big up ange for getting such a strong reaction.
The biggest surprise about Pedro Porro is his defending in general. He's coming out on top in most one v ones against opposing wingers. What a player!
Went to the West Ham and Newcastle games and it was like watching 2 different teams. The atmosphere in the stadium was great for both but nervy second half start against West Ham ruined it. Really enjoying the party atmosphere in the ground now. Long may it continue. Up the spurs
Once again another fantastic and informative video Alasdair
Ben Davis was fast and played really well in the match.
Porro my word what a player , I think there maybe so much more to come from gill aswell 🤞
I love it...ange is watching football his dad would be proud of....that's ace
Maybe I’m going OTT but I do believe Ben Davies can be a LCB back up for Van Der Ven and instead of targeting a back up LCB in January (which is what reports seem to suggest) we should prioritise a RCB back up (whether Dier leaves in Jan or not). It also means we’ll need a LB back up, unless Ange thinks he can get Sess fit and firing!
thanks for the video ali! commented too quickly on one of your vids from a few weeks back and didn't realize you gave a shoutout to What We Do in the Shadows. an absolutely hilarious show, matthew berry and cast are amazing. good mix of humor, dark humor, and just enough heart as the seasons go by. a fantastic shout from you all things considered. thanks again for the videos!
I said last week I needed a Spurs mini break, glad I watched, great performance.
Cheers Big A. I’m glad Porro is finally getting the plaudits, he’s had a fantastic season. Alongside vicario and son, all three have been our consistent performers/stayed fit.
Was looking forward to this video. What a much better result that was. Sarr and Udogie were incredible, and so happy for Richy. We will be so formidable when we get everyone back. Hope you’re well Ali
Hi. That is what tottenham fans can expect from Postecoglu teams at Spurs. Excellent. I agree with you re Davies, a true club stalwart and legend. Thanks for the fun hour plus.
Dont understand anyone who expressed a lack of patience. Its there for anyone to see during the defeats. They are learning to play progressive, aggressive and yes, attractive football. Its STILL early days but we are heading in the right direction. Get the injured back and get a few more players in and with Ange's approach and attitude we will have a winning team. Just be patient and enjoy the ride
Well said top Gazza he will transform tottenham into a super team
Ride the wave they are playing top football the players a slowly buying into the system and playing the system wait till he gets more players that he things will fit the system and trust me they won't be super stars just honest footballers that play the system
Your bang on about Ben davis… when he’s paired with a tall quick partner(and has a chance to practice with them) I believe he could be very decent.. and his tenacity and willingness to die for the club are as much a part of importance… my dad always used to say never trust a good looking centre back there too scared to stick their head in where their face might get damaged 😂
Great report Alasdair, so much to comment on. We’re on a real roller coaster supporting Tottenham Hotspur.
I agree with you, Ben Davies has been a great team player for Spurs. He is underrated by a coterie of fans, never mind. Every Tottenham manager includes him in their team.
Son was brilliant on Sunday, what a player!
Seán
That game was a "feast for the eyes"!!!
They’re all scared of Ange give him 2 more windows and it’s curtains for the prem
Haha that’s why they want him to fail so miserably. They fear what this team is becoming under Don Ange 😂🎉
@@grace_and_peace1550 facts
The third best thing about this game other than the result and performance was the fact that it felt like VAR didn’t exist. A welcome throwback!
Great review, Alasdair. Thanks. My favourite part is the joy in your eyes in the first second of this video! Come On Ye Spurs
Thanks for your great work, Ali ❤
Was looking forward to this one. So fascinating how a couple of new players and position changes can influence the whole team. I thought it was perfect: Sarr starting again and shining bright as always, giving Bissouma the support he needs to show his dominance, Deki through the centre being much more free-flowing and unpredictable, Johnson and Son causing problems down the wings with their pace and 1-v-1 capabilities, Richy being a constant presence, goal threat and hard worker upfront, Porro and Udogie being literally perfect for their roles, and a fabulous display by Ben Davies and Romero - apart from that one moment - as well. Delightful. Up the Spurs ❤
Great content as ever Ali! We really are lucky to have you reporting on Spurs.
Thanks for acknowledging my comment on Romero (it was in your video following the loss to Aston Villa). I know he's frustrating, and I was as worried as everyone when he went in on Wilson that he'd get a 4 match ban for another red card. My only concern is how much lots of fans focus on the negatives, without appreciating all the positives he gives us.
So close to getting our spurs back!
You can learn more from losing than winning!
A little more focus and anything is possible!!!
C💙YS
No one seems to be talking about how Vicario opted to loft the ball into midfield multiple times in this game, rather than always play out from the back. It seemed like a nice compromise on the play.
Thank you for the update Ali.
I have been looking forward to this so much! Cheers bud.
Loving the videos. Keep up the excellent work
So pleased for Richarlison, I hope he can build on this performance. I have previously remarked how Martin Chivers didn’t start to smash the goals in straight away, hopefully now Richy will now follow in Chivers footsteps.
Thank you for the video, Alasdair. It was great to see Richarlison and Sarr back and see the huge impact they made. I agree that Porro has arguably been the player of the season. It seems like a distant memory that people were questioning whether Udogie and Porro could play together. Impressed with his development and his consistency. Also would like to see more of Veliz and Donley. Especially with Richarlison looking so tired from all his pressing, it would have been nice to see both of them get 20+ minutes of game time. Their development could be crucial to Spurs having real depth for the rest of the season.
Sarr is like Bentacour in that he he makes everyone around him better
Richarlison reminded me of the clinical way he scored for Brazil during the last World Cup, I do actually rate him. By the way, with regards to Callum Wilson pot calling kettle comes to mind.
Tottenham are putting together a great young side and success is just around the corner.
Great video as always Ali! We got to remember that Newcastle had to be running on fumes at this point, but it’s a great result all things considered. Keep up the great work!
Yes Ali, been waiting all day, checking for notifications and finally. Much better performance, result and now the perfect end to evening, your video. Cheers Ali and come on you Spurs, oh I agree, I avoid social media, well apart from your tweets of course 😁😁
Wasn’t at the match Sunday due to family commitments but managed to see it on TV. What a game and so many good performances - Porro in particular. Richie ran around like always but this time with real purpose, so happy for him.hopefully we have turned a corner and can push on from here. As always good to hear your slant (geddit !) on things Alasdair
l think we are in a better place as a team than we have been for many many years, We just need patience .In football terms Ange has only just taken over
Couldn't wait for this!!!!🎉🎉
Thanks Alasdair. Looking forward to seeing what Ange does with this team with a couple more transfer windows under his belt.
Thanks Alasdair - for another great video. Sunday’s performance was exactly what the club and the fans needed.
It’s good to hear that the club is keen to tie some of the younger players into long contracts. Need to put off the big spenders who might try and nick our players.
Totally agree with you about Ben Davies - he has never let the club down and responds well even when he gets limited game time. Not a prima donna bone in his body. Great squad member.
Well said my man!! Let’s push on from this
Hi Ally, enjoying your videos by your self and also with Guesty. The team were immense yesterday,they finally managed to get a two goal lead which helped to settle them, that’s why they lost those previous games they didn’t put away the chances they made so the opposition always felt they had a chance, and as usual they gave the ball away to gift a goal.
Hi Alasdair great vlog as always very informative and interesting and entertaining thanks for your all you hard work take care stay safe
Been waiting all day for your video ! Was bad enough last night after Sky coverage had finished until MOTD started
Hopefully this gets me through to when the extended highlights are out😂
Great video as always Ali! Taking my son to our 1st u21s game on Monday, hope to see you there 👍
Ally, Don’t dwell on ‘what if’s’, that way lies madness.
I believe in snatches this team plays the best football I have ever seen Spurs play, and I’ve been going since the mid 70s. It is scintillating.
Fans need patience. Arteta had two 8th place finishes. Klopp took four years to build his team.
I hate the modern attitude of ‘I want it, and I want it now!’ It’s unrealistic and destructive.
I honestly believe Ange will bring us success and provide the most brilliant entertaining football if we just give him time. By that i mean two to three seasons not six months.
Bad boy richy and super son . Where amazing. Great game . Pappa was sooo good. We missed him so much . Can't wait for our full team
Great video
This was a great spurs performance great report Alistair as always coys ☘️
I will hold my hands up and admit that I've been critical of Richarlison since he arrived. He played really well the other night, so credit where it's due. As you say, the rebuild is going to take time.
excited for this one!!! time to tune in
Hi Ali G,
I'm consuming your Tottenham content like mad. Great update as always.
Lot of people missed out on an incident after the crazy Romero tackle - I think it involved Joelinton and Bissouma. Joelinton headbutted Biss, and Biss reacted with a push. Son sprinted off and held back Biss. Luckily, VAR didn't interfere. Both Bissouma and Romero need a peaceful healing season to calm their blood rush to their heads.
Also, really happy for Ben Davies. Solid performance. #COYS
Richarlison so happy with that performance and those goals. Sarr and Porro were sensational. That performance with goals raining in is exactly what Ange has demanded and they responded. Son deserved a goal after his two assists for our 2-0 start. Will be at Everton game so hopefully more of the same Geordie fans are fantastic too. Hope more good news from AG after Nottingham Forest game.
Alasdair Gold, you're a class act.
Great stuff as always
Hi Alasdair, I was really looking forward to this video for all the obvious reasons, it was absolutely the performance and result that was needed after the last 5 games, what a difference it makes to have Sarr back along side Bissouma and a fit and firing Richarlison up front that released Son back onto the left enabling Johnson to play on his natural right hand side. It got my thinking that if Maddison was fit and ready to play then who would be the unfortunate player, probably out of Johnson or Kulusevski to drop out, because that front 4 with Kulusevski in the CAM slot just looked so perfect. And the same thing if say Bentancur was fit and ready, then it'd be out of Sarr and Bissouma to drop out. Anyhow, regardless of those perfect scenarios, January is going to be a big headache with Bissouma, Sarr snd Son all missing at the same time with no guarantees about who's back and fit to play by then, hopefully at least Maddison is ready which could release Kulusevski into Son's left wing spot, but it's those two DM/CM positions that concern me the most. I really hope we get Jota in early in the transfer window and another player that can play in those two DM/CM positions. If Maddison was fit and if we had Jota, then Kulusevski and even Porro could be worth a shot behind Maddison, which would mean someone else 🤷 would have to go to RB. Anyhow I'm getting ahead of myself, so let's just hopefully enjoy a little run of success through to January and let Ange work it out when the time comes as he's probably going to come up with a better solution than myself.😂
Cheers and thanks once again, Mark H.
There will always be some who don't have patience, considering what was happening last year, i am very happy with the progression. A couple of disappointing results but only a stumble in otherwise big steps forwards. Great video as always.
Thanks once more Ally!
What I’ve been thinking this week is the dynamic in new technology sales where all people can be characterised as Visionary, Innovator, Pragmatist, Conservative or Laggard with 75% Pragmatic or slower in adopting a new approach.
Between Pragmatism and Innovators there is a thing called the Technology Adoption Chasm where it is very difficult to convince 75% to accept the change. There is a natural tendency once the V’s and I’s are onboard that all the others baulk at the first sign of trouble. Each person requires a personal ‘handrail’ to get across the chasm based on their own experiences.
I’m not a football manager but it seems to me that adapting to a new philosophy may well be very similar in nature - and the fanbase would be included in that analysis to.
Stay the course everyone and she’ll be right mate 🇦🇺
Nice to see you smiling again. COYS.
Here we go!!!
Thanks Ali. I've got a good feeling about the rest of this year
Top videos mate.
Could you please put time stamps on
