Good Luck my Friend! How long is this specific Marathon? Is it for the entire 26.2 miles!? No matter how long you go that would be great for this cause, but if you went 26.2 miles, that's all the more amazing! #COYS
I find it funny how some people complain that Solanke's goals have been tap-ins, and how he's a tap-in merchant, when we missed around 20 goals last season from not having anyone there to finish those chances. A goal is a goal, no matter how it's scored. 🤷♀
If you watch a replay of his midweek goal, watch Dom in the lead up. His football IQ and speed to get into position for the tap-in was incredibly good. The finish may be simple but everything before was hard. I'm so happy with him on our team.

I was almost shocked how good Solanke was. Admittedly , I’ve only watched him playing full-time less than three times before he joined us. His work rate upfront is insane. Also, he’s really good with the ball. Richalison is not a slouch but Solanke looks more a complete package.
You can tell how much integrity Ali has when he gives you the nuances of train accidents just to be sure he is accurate and respectful to the people involved.
Maybe will have been moreso in the stadium, but just going to point out that even on TV, solanke looked superb in his pressing game and Archie Gray looked baller
The team which is still young and growing together is trekking nicely. Love to watch them play. Still a few windows away to catch the big 3, but enjoying the ride.
People want to write off Ange before ever finding out what Ange ball looks like in its final form. It's unorthodox and maybe it's a bit of an experiment, but to me it's exciting; and with a largely young squad hand-picked for Ange's system, I could see us in 2-3 years time having a STRONG squad and a very well oiled machine. What we need unfortunately is patience. I won't blindly support Ange but so long as I see us moving in the right direction, I am on board.
Ah, just what we all needed to help us analyze and deal with all those heart-in-mouth moments! What a 3-0 win with 10 men-huge credit to Johnson, Sarr, Solanke, Deki, Vic, Davies, and Archie for stepping up! Incredible team effort all around. COYS!
Sonny was checking and feeling his left hamstring a good 10 mins before he went down and made at least 3 sprints, he should have signalled the bench a lot sooner and probably wouldn’t have been as bad as it could be
Thanks for video Alasdair. Whilst we were a bit lucky, the main thing for me was the strong mentality of the team. And I take issue with 'lucky', as it wasn't a penalty and we were clinical (exactly what we were lacking against Leicester, Newcastle and Arsenal). And Solanke was immense and showing it was no one season at Bournemouth. Funny that the three players the media were going after - Solanke, Vicario and Johnson - have been excellent in response. Bergvall should be first name on the teamsheet for next Europa game (or OT on Sunday!).
As a Londoner living in Sweden try this for for Lucas' family name. Broken down into three sections here but obviously all spoken together as one: First sound like the word 'Bay'.. Second lightly touch the 'R' sound. Last sound 'Val'. I've been here 5 years and speak Swedish like a simple minded 3-year old. Great chat as always 🙂
Spurs in the past have been beaten by teams lesser in the EL with 11 men. To go down to 10 and get the win shows the mentality. Yes Spurs were lucky. Solanke showed why he was bought. Not only did he score but he was pressing and getting back defending, Gray was also very good too. Seems all the players just went on with things. didn't get phased by what happen. Son should be fit for Sunday he ran all night not surprise he went down and was taken off. Radu will learn from this and will come back stronger. Good win for Spurs , Sunday will be very interesting.
@@indianastones6032 Always have been a positive Spurs fan. I don't refer myself as a we or us sorta fan so don't take Spurs personal. I support the club since I was 9. Never did I think growing up Spurs would be seen as the team they are today.
@@jimmartin4418 Yeah he had injures then when down a division to get playing team and learn how to work hard. He is the perfect player for Spurs and what Ange wants from his players.
Thanks Ali for your video. I totally agree with your comments regarding Archie Gray, I have no doubt he has the attributes to become a world class player. Not wishing to do Ange’s job but I can see Archie playing in that holding midfield role, breaking the opposition play up, but not only breaking the play up but bringing the ball forward with his dribbling. He already reminds me of Mousa Dembele. Felt sorry for Lucas Berevall but his time will come again.
In adversity, there's a possibility for growth. I remember the Chelsea game. The way Spurs played. Though we lost, it showed what is possible if you play without fear. The game against Qarabag is a continuation of that. The team should get a boost of confidence from practically playing a full game with 10 players... Yes, Qarabag had chances. What is important is the fact that Tottenham stuck with their philosophy. We attacked and scored 3 goals. COYS, COYS, COYS
Considering we played the vast majority of the game with ten men I thought we did really well. Solanke seems to be getting more involved and great that Johnson gets his third goal in three games. Huge match on Sunday away at Man Utd. Don't be late for the game Ali. 😂😂
Quaravag are a good side, spreading left & right & overloading. They were unfortunate in not getting 1 -2 goals. However, after not getting the biscuits against Leicester & Newcastle, as well as drawing Man C in the Carabao, we are due some luck.
We have had two of our best wins when we had only about half the possession. I think we look much more dangerous when there are frequent changes in possession because by nature the game opens up as the opponent is constantly changing from offence to defence. Also this plays into our strength of pressing and causing turnovers.
For me played really well for having 10 players and scoring 3 goals . Looking forward to Sundays game against man u . Really hope we smash them bye 3 or 4 goals . Great video coys
Hey Ali, look to this video as usual. I have to say, last night was probably the first time apart from the daft red card that we looked like we took a Europa tie seriously. Great result, overall very happy. Cheers Ali
I was in the West Stand, a couple of rows back from the very front to the left of the away dugout. Got rained on prematch because the front half a dozen rows aren't covered by the roof and, like everybody else who was a bit cold and a bit wet, wasn't too pleased by the 35 min kick off delay but I wasn't bored because I had the TNT Sports punditry team right in front of me. Crouchy and Hoddle were very good taking selfies and signing autographs during the commercial breaks. The referee certainly didn't endear himself to the fans when he gave Dragusin a straight red after just 7 minutes. That and other decisions he made later sparked boos and chants of "The referee's a wanker!" There was a certain irony in Lucas Bergvall getting subbed off because he was the player featured on the cover of the matchday programme. Over all, quite a strong performance but I was a bit alarmed at how they completely ceded the midfield in the last quarter of an hour of the first half. They seemed to be waiting for the halftime whistle which I thought was all wrong as they conceded far too many chances to the opposition who very nearly took them. They did the same to a lesser extent in the latter stages of the second half but by that time they'd won the game and it was just a case of keeping a clean sheet. Nonetheless, I thought that they took needless chances in that respect. Had close up views of Archie Gray and Micky van de Ven throughout the second half. Both were excellent and very impressive.
Solanke did his job for goodness sake!!! And as mentioned elsewhere he had some involvement in the build-up as well, not forgetting his assist for Brennan Johnson’s opening goal. Just get off his back you moaners!! Also as already mentioned Harry Kane scored his share of tap-ins (as well as some beauties too), and a good number of assists too. It’s what strikers are paid to do isn’t it for goodness sake?! COYS.
Thanks Ali. A little time off with an injury may be a blessing for Sonny. He's been looking less sharp, could do with a rest. He didn't get much of a rest during the summer break for reasons you gave at the time. Point of trivia: wholly lower case player numbers looks weird. Are we the only Prem team doing this?
I've always rated Davis . Ok , he's not going to set the world on fire , but he is solid and dependable, so long as you don't put him alongside Dier and Sanchez, he will do the job.
Thanks for video, Alasdair. Thursday night? Just a normal day at the office for Spurs? Always expect the unexpected. You did a good job of explaining the ramifications of the sending off and how it affected so many members of the squad. The fans also lost out in not seeing a full eleven playing and not being able to see Bergvall play a full match and possibly seeing Moore and Lankshear getting significant game time. Still as you pointed out, Dragusin is young and will hopefully learn from his mistake.
One silver lining with Dragusin sending off: his agent will cease getting on his megaphone to imply that Radu should be starting or at least starting for Bayern as he turned them down for us…
Solanke proved last season that he scores more than just tap ins, but if that is all he does this season, that would be great as there are more goal opportunities in the 6 yard box than outside or just inside the box
The funny thing with online spurs fans is that even with a 3-0 victory they still sound as though we lost the game. As you point out - we've only won games under Ange when we've gone down to 10 men! I guess the keyboard fans are only happy when there's something to moan about!
Good day Sir Gold, thanks again for your analysis. Do you have any idea why Ben Davies isn't a part of the leadership group? Seems to like he would be. Why are pundits seemingly still doubting the football that Tottenham plays and questioning Ange position on how his team will play? This Europa game is proof that the team can play the style of football he wants them to play. Yes, we were shooting ourselves in the foot with the ball handling, and giving the opposition chances. But this in my beliefs is something that we have to get good at. Ange ball is proving itself.
100% correct - this team is in the early stages of playing AngeBall and what a lot of people overlook is that when you practice and play a certain way with 100% focus on improvement you get very good at it. Wait and see what happens when the players that Ange has selected have played and trained this way for a season and then make a judgment.
The omission of Spence from the Europa squad is so stark, the only thing that makes any sense to me is the Spence faulted in someway with attitude and Ange wasn't going to reward it with the Europa Squad, knowing he can swap him in in January if he can maintain consistency over this period. Ange isn't afraid to sacrifice short-term benefits for what he perceives as long-term gains.
Sonny gets a lot taken out off him when he flys to Korea it takes a long time to get over jet lag, sleep pattern disturbed, be good the day he packs in International football.
I’ve been a fan of yours and your lady wife since I stumbled across your channel and post after your Australian holiday. My admiration of your wife in visiting Parhan to accommodate your investigation into ‘Our Ange’ to ensure he was the right man to lead your beloved Tottenham Hotspurs was adorable and a deal sealer for me. I only hoped your wife enjoyed the experience of Melbourne and not just the Ange tour and his mural. I understood very quickly that the club had been nearly obliterated by mismanagement, egotistical behaviour and poor choices. As I watched that post and your tentative willingness to give Ange a chance I was left with the impression that things couldn’t have been much worse. I wanted to reach out and put my hand on your shoulder, squeeze and say ‘ mate it’ll be ok, Ange is the man you need’ to be fair most Aussie would have told you the exact same thing. The wear and tear on your spirit and faith in your club was at a low and your tentative acceptance of the unknown was baffling, I’ve been a Hammers fan for 42 years and thought we’d had it bad. But I assessed you as a man who is thoughtful, considered and measured, one who’s passionate about Tottenham Hotspurs, football and life. I’m extremely pleased my first impression was correct and you and Rob have guided me in understanding Tottenham Hotspurs. I’ve come to enjoy your interactions with Ange and smiled at the story of colleagues ribbing you in missing the press conference. I freely admit I’m an Ange fan. I’m one of those that read ‘Changing the Game’ way back when. I gave my kids 5 books to read when they were older teens, that book was one of them. Ever since Ange took over the national team he had the mystic of a pied piper, he stuck with his beliefs and he continually impressed with his integrity and openness. Many years ago Johnny Warren (Aussie icon)was imploring and battling everyone for investment and growth in Australian Soccer (that’s what it was back then) because he was determined to see Aussie footballers reach a respectable standing on the world stage. Ange is just one of the many Australians who’s fulfilled Johnny’s football dream, Ange through his unshakable determination became an icon while leading the rise of our A League. We’ve had many great Aussies on the world stage of football but none as intimidating as Ange. When he walked away from the national job rather than compromise, Australians supported him, even then his quality shone through. He was lost from view in Greece but he returned. He cleaned out the Roar in Queensland, polished Victory in Victoria and from there he flourished. So many of us added support to Yokohama F Mariano’s, then Celtic now THFC. Nightly news programmes in every state give an update on Tottenham results just like when Ange was in Japan and Scotland. Aussies are justifiably proud of Ange, we understood when his appointment shocked the English fans and I mean all the fans not just spurs fans. For Australians it was ‘ok Ange is going to clean out the debris and rebuild a club again’ nothing new to see here. The outrage that an ‘Aussie nobody’ was to steer a premiere league club shocked the Poms. Talk show’s predictions of doom and failure for Ange, the howling of disappointment from fans. It was rude and close to being bigoted, it’s doubtful a European of the same skill and experience would have been treated in that manner. Then the outrage became headlines in Australia. Aussies smiled and thought, ‘you’ll see’ I follow teams in many sports across many countries for many years, the Hammers- EPL since 1980, 49ers - NFL since 1975, NY Nicks -NBA since 1979, Carlton -AFL since 1977. The Aussie cricket team since 1969 due to my granddad’s influence. I attended my first English Ashes Cricket Test in 1981 and my last in 2013. I regularly attend the Ashes series in Australia. I’ve argued and drank myself silly with members of the barm army for years. Boxing Day test is epic at lunch. A barmy army fan would never trash talk an English player. Never. It’s been known for years that Fleet Street rips the national English teams when they under preform and Parliament dole out knighthoods when they win anything. I suspect ordering a ham sandwich by an Englishman player at a darts tournament is enough to be considered a realm of something. It’s always been a quirky English thing. But English football fans are a cohort like no other fan base. We had to leave Cardiff for the weekend when English football fans hit town, for real, Rugby games no, Football fans arrived we left town every time. At the World Cup in South Africa. No one wanted to stay anywhere near the English fans. The Irish, Scottish, French, Swedish, Belgian and of course Kiwis and Aussies made the rugby stadium a village. Greatest experience of all time. We all stayed clear of English fans. Ange’s first season and the streak of 10 wins was unreal as in fantasy stuff then the hard slog of EPL set in but still the fans stuck as the season saw growth, the summer transfer window saw a massive clean out of approx 28 players, Levy got his nice well balanced ledger and an influx of young players were signed. No one in my sport mad group in Australia believed that Ange would go for Toney. Never gonna happen. Eze, nope not while Richie is on the players list. A marquee signing - really had no one followed Ange’s and understood his philosophy or history. What’s the saying if you want to learn about the future look to the past? I’m not blowing smoke Mr Gold you are the only fan, journalist or pundit in London that gets Ange. And thats no easy thing, the man can be difficult, intractable and stubborn. In my mind Tottenham got what they needed, a rebuild could begin, Ange had his leadership group, his youngsters and his plan. All systems go! Then before the season had even started the vitriol started against Ange, the continued loathing of Levy, a savvy progressive business man who everyone expects to be Pollyanna and do the fans pleadings. A millionaire business man catering to fans, what world do they all live in? Do these fans want to compare this club to the NFL cowboys? There’s a reality check waiting to happen. The disdain for Lange and Munn, the outrage of a proclaimed shyte summer window. So many exciting young players signed, one waiting on a visa the other a K league clearance. The future looks solid, even if Ange walks. The recruitment team worked with Ange, they cleared out surplus but expensive players, I expect Januarys window to be successful. I’m confused Ange did exactly what he said he’d do, he did exactly what he’s done before. Three games in and Ange’s head is wanted on a pike hoisted on High St. Now a few more games in and 45% of spurs own players are being attacked by spurs own fans. And it’s not stopping. In my view many Tottenham Hotspurs fan are seriously unhinged yes it’s a judgement. I’ve had enough of it but can someone tell me why? Not all fans I’ll admit but I’ve never been exposed to this level of toxicity by a fan base towards their own. No one is exempt, no one is spared from hateful rhetoric it’s endless, relentless and sickening. Winning doesn’t stop the hatefulness. It’s close to being insane, Tottenham have a stadium second to none, a forward thinking manager, a players list with potential for growth and success. A CEO that may not be a faithful football nut but the man is setting up this club for financial security for years to come. Want to complain about the average cost of a game, the NFL is USD$449 for 2 ppl at some stadiums while at others it’s USD$957 2 ppl. For a decent seat at a NY Nicks, NBA game I spent USD$1200 for 1 seat. Nose bleed section USD$300 for the 2 kids. This toxicity seems to be Spurs eccentric. Again my question is why? How could anyone dish dirt on Son Heung-min. Talk down Gray when he worked so hard in a game, he’s a teenager (insert swear words). Attack Vic as useless in the box. It never stops. The monkey of being fans of the Lilly whites is so very wrong. The underbelly of spurs appears very black to me. I would never verbally or write an attack on any players in any of my teams. However certain cohorts of the Tottenham Hotspurs fan base? I support Nick Kyrgios for his talent and showmanship do I admire all his behaviour on court. No, but his charitable work is outstanding and it never flags. In person he is funny, sweet and respectful, Canberra is small, Nick is a big noticeable presence. The point being people are multidimensional so don’t judge and certainly don’t attack. Please if you and Rob could talk with Australian ex footballer and national commentator Robbie Slater and either journalists Gerard Whateley or Kelly Underwood all long time colleagues and great friends of Ange, have a discussion on what makes Ange football brain tick would be invaluable before this season progresses.
Great piece Denise, i have been a supporter since the early 60's, through good a nd bad times. I was at the game we got relegated in the seventies and not a boo at the stadium, the team was cheered on throughout the game, true support. Nowadays, so many negative and often rude people spend their whole time, moaning and deriding players, managers and owners regardless.
I m pretty sure utd are gonna get a ton of chances .I'm just praying they don't take them and Vic is at his best on Sunday. Feeling nervous as usual and just listened to Tim Spiers say both tottenham and utd are flawed teams! Annoying but maybe true COYS.
I think the clean sheet was an absolute fluke as we were repeatedly cut to pieces with ange's dodgy high line. however we are a dangerous attacking side when an opponent pushes forward themselves as they did the last 2 games. manu will want possession at home and they too could be vulnerable to a counter.
Ange doesn’t rate clean sheets and if you had listened to anything he has said you know that. With his style of football he expects goals against he also expects his team to easily out score the opposition.
@@denisewilson9783 It turms out man-u were vulnerable to a counter. If teams come forward, we look potent. if they sit back, then so far we have looked clueless. arsenil could have been more attacking but were practising their dark arts for their m-city away game.
Personally with the penalty, I had the same thought at the game and after watching many replays I still have the same thought, he doesn’t actually touch the player until he’s won the ball. And I really can’t see how it was a penalty
Got it. Let’s go down to 10 men and win every game. Seriously though, the commentators thought we were reckless and open - but we did our best with 10 and still trying to play his (our) style. People saying if Qarabag had their shooting boots on - same for us for leicester, newcastle and arsenal. Good luck with marathon - done!
Top remark Mr Gold. I would offer that Radu's reaction was more panic than anything. As you say a young player with not much game time and likely low ish on confidence. We rode our luck and for once in a long long time it held. Im not sure we were braver, I guess the front line were to a degree. Some decent to good performances. Quite a few ppl have said that Gray s was bad and RB is not is best pos. Though since many "pundits" have said otherwise. What do you think?
Mr. Gold, I know how deeply Sonny loves Tottenham, and I truly hope that he’ll be able to retire honourably at Spurs. But when I look at other players, their departures always seem so undignified, almost as if they’ve been cast aside - like Hugo Lloris. Recently, Sonny’s interviews feel a bit different, as though he’s hinting at a possible farewell, which makes me feel terribly sad. I simply can’t imagine Tottenham without him; it would be heartbreaking. Do you perhaps feel the same way, Mr. Gold?
Sonny is worth hundreds of millions to Tottenham Hotspur PLC in Asia and will wanted by the club to continue after he retires! (Not saying that the poor treatment of other former players is acceptable.) I think they're just starting to lay the groundwork well in advance for our Asian ambassador as he may wish to play on somewhere else for a few years (it won't be an English club though!) before returning. My best guess and expected to start hearing noises about the future to preserve his 'legacy'.
The problem with Son is that a player of his quality shouldn't be pinned to a specific position, especially in the Ange's system where wingers play so wide. Imagine having Ronaldo or Mbappe in the team and force them to run down the wing and make crosses...
QUESTION; The impressive trio that you mentioned, many clubs in the PL bring this type of player onto the field where that can be seen ..... at Spurs we tend not to do this, and it's gone on for many years ...... why. Thanks
Be interesting to see if your Kulu at RW is correct as whoever plays on that side with Porro could get a lot of joy, Utd look defensively dodgy down that side, hopefully!
Part of me wonders if we would have won as convincingly had Dragusin let the man through to score. We can be woeful when chasing goals against an opposition that sits deep. The fact that we scored right after getting a guy sent off probably helped in pushing them forward. Obviously I’m not saying Dragusin did the right thing lol. It was stupid. Yet I can see a world in where we lose that 1-0.
I was there, we were fortunate. Poor finishing by Qarabag meant we didn't lose this game.They had numerous chances to win it easily. Our football was suicidal at times. A high line that would have been exploited to the limit by any half decent team. I'm a season ticket holder since 1984 and are not convinced at all by Ange.
They won the match with extreme tactics in a crisis situation, but lost Sonny.. This way of playing is fun for fans, but it's not good for players in the long run, especially during seasons when you have to play a lot in a tight schedule like this year... 😅
Good to see you so soon. Question. Will you be talking about the new shirt sponsors and how much more money that will bring into the club. Theres been a lot going on so not surprised it's been missed off the chat
If I got a coin everytime a Spurs defender lost the ball like Dragusin did I would have coins and embarrassment for 10 lifetimes. As it stands I only got embarrrisment...COYS 👍
Tottenham need that underground train line, it would boost the whole area economically and Levy's hotel can put up the away teams so they are not late to the game ! Poke Lammy to get it all going...

Awesome Alasdair 🙋🏻♀️
Yes. The whole thing.
I find it funny how some people complain that Solanke's goals have been tap-ins, and how he's a tap-in merchant, when we missed around 20 goals last season from not having anyone there to finish those chances. A goal is a goal, no matter how it's scored. 🤷♀
Exactly! Dom knows where he has to be to take advantage of situations like that! We've been missing it!
If you watch a replay of his midweek goal, watch Dom in the lead up. His football IQ and speed to get into position for the tap-in was incredibly good.
The finish may be simple but everything before was hard. I'm so happy with him on our team.
Some people just cant see the wood fot the trees!!
I would rather he score a hundred tap ins than ten screamers

Thanks for video Alasdair. Whilst we were a bit lucky, the main thing for me was the strong mentality of the team. And I take issue with 'lucky', as it wasn't a penalty and we were clinical (exactly what we were lacking against Leicester, Newcastle and Arsenal). And Solanke was immense and showing it was no one season at Bournemouth. Funny that the three players the media were going after - Solanke, Vicario and Johnson - have been excellent in response. Bergvall should be first name on the teamsheet for next Europa game (or OT on Sunday!).
As a Londoner living in Sweden try this for for Lucas' family name. Broken down into three sections here but obviously all spoken together as one: First sound like the word 'Bay'.. Second lightly touch the 'R' sound. Last sound 'Val'. I've been here 5 years and speak Swedish like a simple minded 3-year old. Great chat as always 🙂
Once Sonny shaped to shoot Solanke's movement and anticipation for his goal was excellent.
Spurs in the past have been beaten by teams lesser in the EL with 11 men. To go down to 10 and get the win shows the mentality. Yes Spurs were lucky. Solanke showed why he was bought. Not only did he score but he was pressing and getting back defending, Gray was also very good too. Seems all the players just went on with things. didn't get phased by what happen. Son should be fit for Sunday he ran all night not surprise he went down and was taken off. Radu will learn from this and will come back stronger. Good win for Spurs , Sunday will be very interesting.
Glad to see some positivity in the fanbase!!
@@orinorio1 Solanke was at Liverpool but had injuries was always above average and I rate him to be a great signing COYS Jim NZ
@@indianastones6032 Always have been a positive Spurs fan. I don't refer myself as a we or us sorta fan so don't take Spurs personal. I support the club since I was 9. Never did I think growing up Spurs would be seen as the team they are today.
@@jimmartin4418 Yeah he had injures then when down a division to get playing team and learn how to work hard. He is the perfect player for Spurs and what Ange wants from his players.
I’m sure Ange missed you. Thanks for the video. 😊
Thanks Ali for your video. I totally agree with your comments regarding Archie Gray, I have no doubt he has the attributes to become a world class player. Not wishing to do Ange’s job but I can see Archie playing in that holding midfield role, breaking the opposition play up, but not only breaking the play up but bringing the ball forward with his dribbling. He already reminds me of Mousa Dembele. Felt sorry for Lucas Berevall but his time will come again.
In adversity, there's a possibility for growth.
I remember the Chelsea game. The way Spurs played. Though we lost, it showed what is possible if you play without fear.
The game against Qarabag is a continuation of that.
The team should get a boost of confidence from practically playing a full game with 10 players...
Yes, Qarabag had chances. What is important is the fact that Tottenham stuck with their philosophy. We attacked and scored 3 goals.
COYS, COYS, COYS
Considering we played the vast majority of the game with ten men I thought we did really well. Solanke seems to be getting more involved and great that Johnson gets his third goal in three games. Huge match on Sunday away at Man Utd. Don't be late for the game Ali. 😂😂
Ange said we'd have entertaining football ✅ Ange said we'd have some silverware.... #coys
Quaravag are a good side, spreading left & right & overloading. They were unfortunate in not getting 1 -2 goals. However, after not getting the biscuits against Leicester & Newcastle, as well as drawing Man C in the Carabao, we are due some luck.
We have had two of our best wins when we had only about half the possession. I think we look much more dangerous when there are frequent changes in possession because by nature the game opens up as the opponent is constantly changing from offence to defence. Also this plays into our strength of pressing and causing turnovers.
Vicario was brilliant last nite 👏
For me played really well for having 10 players and scoring 3 goals . Looking forward to Sundays game against man u . Really hope we smash them bye 3 or 4 goals . Great video coys
Just wanted to give a shout out to Brennan Johnson. 3 goals in 3 games. I am so happy for him.
Your fellow journalists mocking you shows how much they like you mate 👍
Enjoy Ali, for you have the best job outside of playing for the club.
Hey Ali, look to this video as usual. I have to say, last night was probably the first time apart from the daft red card that we looked like we took a Europa tie seriously. Great result, overall very happy. Cheers Ali
Once again another fantastic and informative video Alasdair
Hi Alasdair thanks for a very interesting and informative vlog thanks for your hard work take care stay safe
Yeeeeees! Excited for this. Thanks Ali!
Red cards happen. It is what it is! Onto the next one! COYFS
The manager must control the players' condition.
As far as I remember, Sony has always been a starting lineup.
Pls consider the whole season. 😊
I was in the West Stand, a couple of rows back from the very front to the left of the away dugout. Got rained on prematch because the front half a dozen rows aren't covered by the roof and, like everybody else who was a bit cold and a bit wet, wasn't too pleased by the 35 min kick off delay but I wasn't bored because I had the TNT Sports punditry team right in front of me. Crouchy and Hoddle were very good taking selfies and signing autographs during the commercial breaks.
The referee certainly didn't endear himself to the fans when he gave Dragusin a straight red after just 7 minutes. That and other decisions he made later sparked boos and chants of "The referee's a wanker!" There was a certain irony in Lucas Bergvall getting subbed off because he was the player featured on the cover of the matchday programme.
Over all, quite a strong performance but I was a bit alarmed at how they completely ceded the midfield in the last quarter of an hour of the first half. They seemed to be waiting for the halftime whistle which I thought was all wrong as they conceded far too many chances to the opposition who very nearly took them. They did the same to a lesser extent in the latter stages of the second half but by that time they'd won the game and it was just a case of keeping a clean sheet. Nonetheless, I thought that they took needless chances in that respect.
Had close up views of Archie Gray and Micky van de Ven throughout the second half. Both were excellent and very impressive.
Exit the Dragu… he’ll learn from it, then the rest of the team stepped up! Coys~🐲❌
Thank You!!!
Solanke did his job for goodness sake!!! And as mentioned elsewhere he had some involvement in the build-up as well, not forgetting his assist for Brennan Johnson’s opening goal. Just get off his back you moaners!! Also as already mentioned Harry Kane scored his share of tap-ins (as well as some beauties too), and a good number of assists too. It’s what strikers are paid to do isn’t it for goodness sake?! COYS.
I have work in three hours and haven’t slept yet hopefully the soothing voice of Ali send me to sleep
Thanks Ali. A little time off with an injury may be a blessing for Sonny. He's been looking less sharp, could do with a rest. He didn't get much of a rest during the summer break for reasons you gave at the time. Point of trivia: wholly lower case player numbers looks weird. Are we the only Prem team doing this?
How about Ben Davis' contribution for the 2nd goal. Being a bloody nuisance in the 6 yard box!
Absolutely.
I've always rated Davis . Ok , he's not going to set the world on fire , but he is solid and dependable, so long as you don't put him alongside Dier and Sanchez, he will do the job.
Dom's has been excellent. I now wish I did book my seat for last nights game.
Spurs will only get better, Tired of the negative Karen's when we are winning. Scoring goals.
Thank you Ali, content MACHINE!!!
Thanks for video, Alasdair. Thursday night? Just a normal day at the office for Spurs? Always expect the unexpected. You did a good job of explaining the ramifications of the sending off and how it affected so many members of the squad. The fans also lost out in not seeing a full eleven playing and not being able to see Bergvall play a full match and possibly seeing Moore and Lankshear getting significant game time. Still as you pointed out, Dragusin is young and will hopefully learn from his mistake.
Someone said Dragusin owes Bergvall the finest steak in London. I agree
One silver lining with Dragusin sending off: his agent will cease getting on his megaphone to imply that Radu should be starting or at least starting for Bayern as he turned them down for us…
He'll blame rustiness because Spurs are not playing him.
On ya Ali. Absolute legend.
Solanke proved last season that he scores more than just tap ins, but if that is all he does this season, that would be great as there are more goal opportunities in the 6 yard box than outside or just inside the box
Friday night viewing 😎👀📺, nice one Ally 👌🏻
The funny thing with online spurs fans is that even with a 3-0 victory they still sound as though we lost the game. As you point out - we've only won games under Ange when we've gone down to 10 men! I guess the keyboard fans are only happy when there's something to moan about!
Thing is, ya not far off!
Another great vid, cheers gold
Good day Sir Gold, thanks again for your analysis. Do you have any idea why Ben Davies isn't a part of the leadership group? Seems to like he would be. Why are pundits seemingly still doubting the football that Tottenham plays and questioning Ange position on how his team will play? This Europa game is proof that the team can play the style of football he wants them to play. Yes, we were shooting ourselves in the foot with the ball handling, and giving the opposition chances. But this in my beliefs is something that we have to get good at. Ange ball is proving itself.
He wasn't part of the previous leadership group either. I'm not really sure why.
100% correct - this team is in the early stages of playing AngeBall and what a lot of people overlook is that when you practice and play a certain way with 100% focus on improvement you get very good at it. Wait and see what happens when the players that Ange has selected have played and trained this way for a season and then make a judgment.
The omission of Spence from the Europa squad is so stark, the only thing that makes any sense to me is the Spence faulted in someway with attitude and Ange wasn't going to reward it with the Europa Squad, knowing he can swap him in in January if he can maintain consistency over this period. Ange isn't afraid to sacrifice short-term benefits for what he perceives as long-term gains.
Sonny gets a lot taken out off him when he flys to Korea it takes a long time to get over jet lag, sleep pattern disturbed, be good the day he packs in International football.
Yes. Most people don't understand this. Korea is 9 hours ahead of UK. How many top footballers are doing this? None?
Or cut down on playing international friendlies or in group/qualifiers where korea have already mathematically made the cut??
@@indianastones6032ou don’t seem to understand K league and playing internationals. Not having Son in the line up is not an option.
Thanks Ali!
Solanke reminds me a bit of a cheaper Jude Bellingham type of player because he drops so deep and that is some one that we do need
I’ve been a fan of yours and your lady wife since I stumbled across your channel and post after your Australian holiday. My admiration of your wife in visiting Parhan to accommodate your investigation into ‘Our Ange’ to ensure he was the right man to lead your beloved Tottenham Hotspurs was adorable and a deal sealer for me. I only hoped your wife enjoyed the experience of Melbourne and not just the Ange tour and his mural. I understood very quickly that the club had been nearly obliterated by mismanagement, egotistical behaviour and poor choices. As I watched that post and your tentative willingness to give Ange a chance I was left with the impression that things couldn’t have been much worse. I wanted to reach out and put my hand on your shoulder, squeeze and say ‘ mate it’ll be ok, Ange is the man you need’ to be fair most Aussie would have told you the exact same thing. The wear and tear on your spirit and faith in your club was at a low and your tentative acceptance of the unknown was baffling, I’ve been a Hammers fan for 42 years and thought we’d had it bad. But I assessed you as a man who is thoughtful, considered and measured, one who’s passionate about Tottenham Hotspurs, football and life. I’m extremely pleased my first impression was correct and you and Rob have guided me in understanding Tottenham Hotspurs. I’ve come to enjoy your interactions with Ange and smiled at the story of colleagues ribbing you in missing the press conference.
I freely admit I’m an Ange fan. I’m one of those that read ‘Changing the Game’ way back when. I gave my kids 5 books to read when they were older teens, that book was one of them. Ever since Ange took over the national team he had the mystic of a pied piper, he stuck with his beliefs and he continually impressed with his integrity and openness. Many years ago Johnny Warren (Aussie icon)was imploring and battling everyone for investment and growth in Australian Soccer (that’s what it was back then) because he was determined to see Aussie footballers reach a respectable standing on the world stage. Ange is just one of the many Australians who’s fulfilled Johnny’s football dream, Ange through his unshakable determination became an icon while leading the rise of our A League. We’ve had many great Aussies on the world stage of football but none as intimidating as Ange. When he walked away from the national job rather than compromise, Australians supported him, even then his quality shone through. He was lost from view in Greece but he returned. He cleaned out the Roar in Queensland, polished Victory in Victoria and from there he flourished. So many of us added support to Yokohama F Mariano’s, then Celtic now THFC. Nightly news programmes in every state give an update on Tottenham results just like when Ange was in Japan and Scotland. Aussies are justifiably proud of Ange, we understood when his appointment shocked the English fans and I mean all the fans not just spurs fans. For Australians it was ‘ok Ange is going to clean out the debris and rebuild a club again’ nothing new to see here. The outrage that an ‘Aussie nobody’ was to steer a premiere league club shocked the Poms. Talk show’s predictions of doom and failure for Ange, the howling of disappointment from fans. It was rude and close to being bigoted, it’s doubtful a European of the same skill and experience would have been treated in that manner. Then the outrage became headlines in Australia. Aussies smiled and thought, ‘you’ll see’
I follow teams in many sports across many countries for many years, the Hammers- EPL since 1980, 49ers - NFL since 1975, NY Nicks -NBA since 1979, Carlton -AFL since 1977. The Aussie cricket team since 1969 due to my granddad’s influence. I attended my first English Ashes Cricket Test in 1981 and my last in 2013. I regularly attend the Ashes series in Australia. I’ve argued and drank myself silly with members of the barm army for years. Boxing Day test is epic at lunch. A barmy army fan would never trash talk an English player. Never.
It’s been known for years that Fleet Street rips the national English teams when they under preform and Parliament dole out knighthoods when they win anything. I suspect ordering a ham sandwich by an Englishman player at a darts tournament is enough to be considered a realm of something. It’s always been a quirky English thing.
But English football fans are a cohort like no other fan base. We had to leave Cardiff for the weekend when English football fans hit town, for real, Rugby games no, Football fans arrived we left town every time. At the World Cup in South Africa. No one wanted to stay anywhere near the English fans. The Irish, Scottish, French, Swedish, Belgian and of course Kiwis and Aussies made the rugby stadium a village. Greatest experience of all time. We all stayed clear of English fans.
Ange’s first season and the streak of 10 wins was unreal as in fantasy stuff then the hard slog of EPL set in but still the fans stuck as the season saw growth, the summer transfer window saw a massive clean out of approx 28 players, Levy got his nice well balanced ledger and an influx of young players were signed. No one in my sport mad group in Australia believed that Ange would go for Toney. Never gonna happen. Eze, nope not while Richie is on the players list. A marquee signing - really had no one followed Ange’s and understood his philosophy or history. What’s the saying if you want to learn about the future look to the past?
I’m not blowing smoke Mr Gold you are the only fan, journalist or pundit in London that gets Ange. And thats no easy thing, the man can be difficult, intractable and stubborn. In my mind Tottenham got what they needed, a rebuild could begin, Ange had his leadership group, his youngsters and his plan. All systems go!
Then before the season had even started the vitriol started against Ange, the continued loathing of Levy, a savvy progressive business man who everyone expects to be Pollyanna and do the fans pleadings. A millionaire business man catering to fans, what world do they all live in? Do these fans want to compare this club to the NFL cowboys? There’s a reality check waiting to happen. The disdain for Lange and Munn, the outrage of a proclaimed shyte summer window. So many exciting young players signed, one waiting on a visa the other a K league clearance. The future looks solid, even if Ange walks. The recruitment team worked with Ange, they cleared out surplus but expensive players, I expect Januarys window to be successful.
I’m confused Ange did exactly what he said he’d do, he did exactly what he’s done before. Three games in and Ange’s head is wanted on a pike hoisted on High St. Now a few more games in and 45% of spurs own players are being attacked by spurs own fans. And it’s not stopping.
In my view many Tottenham Hotspurs fan are seriously unhinged yes it’s a judgement. I’ve had enough of it but can someone tell me why? Not all fans I’ll admit but I’ve never been exposed to this level of toxicity by a fan base towards their own. No one is exempt, no one is spared from hateful rhetoric it’s endless, relentless and sickening. Winning doesn’t stop the hatefulness.
It’s close to being insane, Tottenham have a stadium second to none, a forward thinking manager, a players list with potential for growth and success. A CEO that may not be a faithful football nut but the man is setting up this club for financial security for years to come. Want to complain about the average cost of a game, the NFL is USD$449 for 2 ppl at some stadiums while at others it’s USD$957 2 ppl. For a decent seat at a NY Nicks, NBA game I spent USD$1200 for 1 seat. Nose bleed section USD$300 for the 2 kids.
This toxicity seems to be Spurs eccentric. Again my question is why? How could anyone dish dirt on Son Heung-min. Talk down Gray when he worked so hard in a game, he’s a teenager (insert swear words). Attack Vic as useless in the box. It never stops. The monkey of being fans of the Lilly whites is so very wrong. The underbelly of spurs appears very black to me. I would never verbally or write an attack on any players in any of my teams. However certain cohorts of the Tottenham Hotspurs fan base?
I support Nick Kyrgios for his talent and showmanship do I admire all his behaviour on court. No, but his charitable work is outstanding and it never flags. In person he is funny, sweet and respectful, Canberra is small, Nick is a big noticeable presence. The point being people are multidimensional so don’t judge and certainly don’t attack.
Please if you and Rob could talk with Australian ex footballer and national commentator Robbie Slater and either journalists Gerard Whateley or Kelly Underwood all long time colleagues and great friends of Ange, have a discussion on what makes Ange football brain tick would be invaluable before this season progresses.
Thank you. Very kind of you. Really enjoyed reading that.
Great piece Denise, i have been a supporter since the early 60's, through good a nd bad times. I was at the game we got relegated in the seventies and not a boo at the stadium, the team was cheered on throughout the game, true support.
Nowadays, so many negative and often rude people spend their whole time, moaning and deriding players, managers and owners regardless.
Watching the game at the stadium. Sonny wasn’t happy during the game.
Perhaps he wasn't happy with the players' positioning and execution?
Mikeys mum coming on at half time saying he has to be home for hos tea 😅🤣
I m pretty sure utd are gonna get a ton of chances .I'm just praying they don't take them and Vic is at his best on Sunday. Feeling nervous as usual and just listened to Tim Spiers say both tottenham and utd are flawed teams! Annoying but maybe true COYS.
I think the clean sheet was an absolute fluke as we were repeatedly cut to pieces with ange's dodgy high line. however we are a dangerous attacking side when an opponent pushes forward themselves as they did the last 2 games. manu will want possession at home and they too could be vulnerable to a counter.
Ange doesn’t rate clean sheets and if you had listened to anything he has said you know that. With his style of football he expects goals against he also expects his team to easily out score the opposition.
@@denisewilson9783 It turms out man-u were vulnerable to a counter. If teams come forward, we look potent. if they sit back, then so far we have looked clueless. arsenil could have been more attacking but were practising their dark arts for their m-city away game.
Another good video mate we managed the game well vicaro played well
Great video, mate, as always
Good luck with the marathon training and don’t miss the last train 🚆! Big up Ali !
Sat next two 2 French tourists Spurs supporters who had a great evening. The kids in the row behind shouted all game long. Great night. COYS
Personally with the penalty, I had the same thought at the game and after watching many replays I still have the same thought, he doesn’t actually touch the player until he’s won the ball. And I really can’t see how it was a penalty
Never ever a pen
Once again, Love you Alasdair! 🤍
I wondered why you didn't ask any questions Ali, we missed you buddy
We missed his soft ball questions
Thanks for the video Ali. I thought Solanke was superb and will end up being a super buy. Cheers Joe
Got it. Let’s go down to 10 men and win every game. Seriously though, the commentators thought we were reckless and open - but we did our best with 10 and still trying to play his (our) style. People saying if Qarabag had their shooting boots on - same for us for leicester, newcastle and arsenal.
Good luck with marathon - done!
I have to disagree with that Penalty.
Thank you
Haven't been this early in forever, as soon as I got the notification I clicked!
Thanks!
Have we stumbled onto something with being better with 10 men??
I found it interesting that Sonnys shot was counted as an assist on uefa website.
That's unusual.
Top remark Mr Gold. I would offer that Radu's reaction was more panic than anything. As you say a young player with not much game time and likely low ish on confidence. We rode our luck and for once in a long long time it held. Im not sure we were braver, I guess the front line were to a degree. Some decent to good performances. Quite a few ppl have said that Gray s was bad and RB is not is best pos. Though since many "pundits" have said otherwise. What do you think?
Mr. Gold,
I know how deeply Sonny loves Tottenham, and I truly hope that he’ll be able to retire honourably at Spurs. But when I look at other players, their departures always seem so undignified, almost as if they’ve been cast aside - like Hugo Lloris.
Recently, Sonny’s interviews feel a bit different, as though he’s hinting at a possible farewell, which makes me feel terribly sad. I simply can’t imagine Tottenham without him; it would be heartbreaking.
Do you perhaps feel the same way, Mr. Gold?
Sonny is worth hundreds of millions to Tottenham Hotspur PLC in Asia and will wanted by the club to continue after he retires! (Not saying that the poor treatment of other former players is acceptable.) I think they're just starting to lay the groundwork well in advance for our Asian ambassador as he may wish to play on somewhere else for a few years (it won't be an English club though!) before returning. My best guess and expected to start hearing noises about the future to preserve his 'legacy'.
The problem with Son is that a player of his quality shouldn't be pinned to a specific position, especially in the Ange's system where wingers play so wide. Imagine having Ronaldo or Mbappe in the team and force them to run down the wing and make crosses...
QUESTION; The impressive trio that you mentioned, many clubs in the PL bring this type of player onto the field where that can be seen ..... at Spurs we tend not to do this, and it's gone on for many years ...... why. Thanks
Be interesting to see if your Kulu at RW is correct as whoever plays on that side with Porro could get a lot of joy, Utd look defensively dodgy down that side, hopefully!
Part of me wonders if we would have won as convincingly had Dragusin let the man through to score. We can be woeful when chasing goals against an opposition that sits deep. The fact that we scored right after getting a guy sent off probably helped in pushing them forward.
Obviously I’m not saying Dragusin did the right thing lol. It was stupid. Yet I can see a world in where we lose that 1-0.
I was there, we were fortunate. Poor finishing by Qarabag meant we didn't lose this game.They had numerous chances to win it easily. Our football was suicidal at times. A high line that would have been exploited to the limit by any half decent team. I'm a season ticket holder since 1984 and are not convinced at all by Ange.
They won the match with extreme tactics in a crisis situation, but lost Sonny.. This way of playing is fun for fans, but it's not good for players in the long run, especially during seasons when you have to play a lot in a tight schedule like this year... 😅
Thats a very good point sonny playing to many games........maybe he should stop playing for korea????
The final say could well be with Sonny in this case!
Yes The tragedy was a fatality on one of the train tracks person was hit by a train apparently
Good to see you so soon.
Question. Will you be talking about the new shirt sponsors and how much more money that will bring into the club. Theres been a lot going on so not surprised it's been missed off the chat
Lamine Yamal was limited to time at the Euros due to him being 16.
COYS - ANGE IN
Perfect timing just before bed
If I got a coin everytime a Spurs defender lost the ball like Dragusin did I would have coins and embarrassment for 10 lifetimes. As it stands I only got embarrrisment...COYS 👍
Pedro and destiny to stay high, but biss and Bents to offer support
Tottenham need that underground train line, it would boost the whole area economically and Levy's hotel can put up the away teams so they are not late to the game ! Poke Lammy to get it all going...
Feed them lasange before games too
16:33 The “Question Romero” 😂
9 men, 10 men, 11 men…. The problem is Spurs are always very open at the back. We always concede so many chances!
Biss and Bents, kulu, brennan and madison behind the solanke.
THE solanke
Hey Ali, does Dragusins straight red mean 1 or 3 game ban for europa league?
One I think. Three is usually for violent conduct.
Sunday night already? What's going on!!!!????
Good to beat average teams be better if we can beat top teams
We’d all be better off without social media Ali! Remember when social meant being part of society, and communication was a function of community?
