Is there a player with a more punchable face than Richarlison?

[MegaErtz]

Spurs supporters seem to think they're a huge club but I'm almost forty and the only thing of note they've won in my lifetime is the FA Cup in 1991.

Jesse Lingard has to be near the top of the list. Surely more punchable than Richarlison. Harvey Elliott is there and Gabriel Jesus for sure. Honestly, it’s a long list!

Oh yeah! Jesus certainly and Phil Foden just for starters.

We're talking punchable faces and no mention of Antony yet??

Antony is the living embodiment of the scene in Ace Ventura where he makes his Butt talk.

Pressure will go up on him but I don't expect a sale anytime soon

They need to either fire conte or spend about 100m on a ccb and rwb in the next two weeks

Conte hasnt improved a single player since he came, which is fine if he gets results, but they've gone so cheap on the backline outside of romero that results are impossible unless the front 3 are just unplayable

Cant do half measures

[Winsor_Pilates]

I hope they don't, but Spurs need to fire Conte.
Their best weapons are their offensive players and they play a system that can't get them the ball.
It's actually mind bottling.

I do enjoy watching Kane have to track back to his own goal line to grab a ball or Loris hoofing it to him and hoping he does something magical though. What a great way to utilize Harry Kane.

Jordan Pickford?

Well that's the frustration with Spurs. That squad on paper is decent and Conte has them playing terribly. Son is a shell of his former self, Lloris is probably done and he has those two along with a 2 vs. 4 setup against an in-form Arsenal at home. It's basically saying "I don't care, and if you sack me, you have to pay me."

A lot of fans would love ENIC and Levy to be out. But there are a lot of issues. I think there are plenty of young players there who are handcuffed at this point. Either not playing (Spence) or playing and just terrified to make a mistake (Bissouma). That's on Conte. The fact that we have a manager who insists on a negative style despite not having the personnel? That's on Paratici. Then we have a desperate need for better wingers, and while others are fighting to sign 100m players we're not sure if we want to spend 40m on Pedro Porro. That's Levy and ENIC.

tldr; there's a lot of blame to go around at Spurs.

I'm sure he counts his lucky stars every night that he signed that 6 year deal back then. One of the dumbest contract decisions by a top-class footballer in a very long time ... I think he finally gets his out this summer, but at 30, he'll probably always go "what if?" after spending all of his 20s with Spurs.

Yeah I've been a fan of Conte in past stops but was always a bit worried with him at Spurs.

He questioned Chelsea's ambition and they have always been pretty willing to spend, Spurs...not so much.

Behind the scenes my gut is that might be getting a bit toxic in terms of the purchases he wants, what Paratici wants, and what the board is willing to spend.

Conte actually reminds me a bit of Sutter in that way - can be a good manager but really needs to have the squad built to the way he wants to play. Not the type to adjust his tactics to what is at his disposal. And when you have a squad that doesn't match his tactics, you get performances like yesterday.

Is it's Foden's face that's punchable, or that goddamn haircut? How does a multimillionaire have a haircut that looks worse than something from SuperCuts?

He's got to be gone this summer and maybe to United?

The Flames/Spurs comparisons are just so close. So many similarities and it would be nice if one of them could get organized and actually make some progress. I feel like when we got Conte that we were going to bigger and better things (same as when we brought in Sutter for this round!). Alas...Conte seems to have worn out his welcome (same as we saw with Mourinho), and again without any silverware. I mean sure...we could theoretically win the CL or the FA Cup this year, because we're still in those competitions. But logically, it's not happening. I'm pretty sure that if we got anywhere near a final in those competitions that Levy would fire Conte that week and Ryan Mason would be thrown in as caretaker, because there's probably a bonus in Conte's contract.

I don't know. I'm sure Spurs would prefer to sell him to a non-PL club ... I feel he'd be an outstanding fit at Bayern for example.

While that would be preferable, I don't know if he'd go abroad. I think he must want the PL goals record, and he's not washed up or anything. If he was in a system that was reasonable, he could still be a great addition for a team.

Mueller, I'm indifferent about - and I was suggesting within the EPL. Robertson for sure. Dude's a smug c**t.

Actually, I think it's more likely his own teammate punches him.


Richarlison tho. Gets his own face, Neymars and Ronaldo Nesario's faces tattooed on his back. And not to be outdone, Neymar -the modest-, pays him to remove it.

Spoiler!

Apparently United offered Garnacho a new contract at £20k a week. For context, Brandon Williams makes 50.

If that offer doesn’t radically increase, they deserve to lose him.
