This man Palinha single handedly kept us in the PL. He scored against Wolves today equalise (1 point), scored against Wolves again for a winner (3p) and yesterday's winner again. Those 7 points were absolutely crucial 🤍
I like De Zerbi, if he has full support, he can do nice things
COYS
I'm the first to admit that I was scared with De Zerbi's appointment, not because he was a bad coach but because I thought he was a bad fit in a "fighting for survival" Tottenham But thank god I was wrong, he adapted to the players we had and made them believe again!
Palhinha turns into Prime Ronaldo when Spurs need him
Arsenal won the epl Spurs almost got relegated What a football year we had 😅
As much as I like Everton, they failed footballing world with that result against Tottenham.
In the first demonstration the last past was offside
Interesting but how does this positional switch improve his goalscoring chances?
Amorim can never do this
Have been waiting for this video
So any team looking to press knows to herd the passes & the ball to the left back (Paulinha) because of his inability to progress it forward. Got it.
To think that Palhinha was still not called for Portugal's World Cup squad just because Spurs had a disastrous season, shows you Roberto Martinez baldy is a fraud! He did nothing with Belgium's golden generation too!
I like how de Zerbi moved the magnets around and Aston Villa played their second string team. Genius.
Makes you think about how good Robertson will be in this system, moving into midfield in possession and using his technical and passing abilities
Didnt get picked for Portugal, so it can't be working that well haha
Pretty sure it was Pickford who 'scored' not sure there is much relevance in analysis of a team which finished 17th and missed out on relegation by a point
who's the left back that switched up?
Best coach in the league
If they can keep Palhinha and somehow avoid selling Vuskovic, they just need another CB and a consistent GK and they will have a great spine to start building back from.
