How was he allowed to hang onto his job for so long. The final few days and how his sacking came about. How his departure will impact both Vinai and Lange. Nick Beauchar's role. The hiring of Igor Tudor and we talk about the small matter of the upcoming NLD. Tuck in. You know you want to.

    Blankety Blank

    Tottenham’s defensive resurgence takes center stage as the hosts celebrate a string of clean sheets and the growing chemistry between Romero and van de Ven—drawing comparisons to the Jan and Toby era. There’s concern about securing long-term contracts and fending off transfer interest, while Vuskovic’s development and Spence’s versatility highlight the need for depth and rotation. Midfield dynamics shift with Xavi Simons’ debut, sparking debate over ideal combinations, though Bergval and Saar remain consistent. Attacking frustrations persist, with Richarlison’s form, Tel’s unclear role, and Solanke’s potential return all under scrutiny. The West Ham win showcases defensive solidity, but the Villarreal draw exposes a lack of attacking fluidity. As Brighton looms, questions remain about Frank’s adaptability and the team’s offensive identity, even as the system shows promise.
