re: Official Tottenham Hotspur 2020/21 Season Thread: Finished Ahead Of tScum

Anyone else confused by our inability to sign a back up striker in this window? We have zero chance of competing all season if they don't do something soon. There is no chance Kane holds up with the fixtures we have pilled up. This should have been priority number one.

Any truth to the rumors that they may keep CCV this season?

Levy finally signed a striker!!!

Levy with a masterful troll job against Tottenham twitter. Fml.

fricking this, fricking that, let’s win this fricking game! Let’s go. It's game day! COYS

Arguably the best game of opening weekend is on Peacock TV. WTF is up with that.

---

Lloris (C), Doherty, Alderweireld, Dier, Davies, Hojbjerg, Winks, Dele, Lucas, Son, Kane

New signings get thrown straight into the fire today

Btw Peacock isn’t necessary. I had “First Row” tickets for years now

Pretty good half of football. Pickford made two great saves on the Alli and Doherty shots. Kane just barely missed an opportunity. Swap Lo Celso with Winks and this is a nice team.

Quality of Doherty in the attacking 3rd is already showing itself.

Props to Everyon they played a nice half too.

Anybody else rooting for another pandemic?

I didn’t get to watch much but the last 10 minutes. Was not impressed.

Fellas I have the feeling the wheels are about to fall off of this thing. We have needed a back up striker for 2 years and now we're being linked with 5m rated Bas Dost

I don't trust anything unless it comes from Fabrizio, but this just keeps getting worse. Clubs like Newcastle who have an owner that doesn't even want to own them are able to spend 20m on Wilson and we can't get a deal over the line for anyone.

I keep telling myself to give Mourinho time, but the 2nd half display against Everton was like watching a game from last season on DVR. We have absolutely zero creativity or ability to break teams down. There were 20 minute periods in both halves vs Everton that we couldn't even get the ball much less keep it. I'm not sure we created a chance in the second half and when most teams would be pushing for an equalizer in the last ten minutes we were chasing ghosts. There is no identity to this team. We don't press well enough to be a pressing team, we don't counter well enough to be a counter team, and we can't keep possession enough to be a possession team. We are literally stuck somewhere in between the way Mourinho likes to play and how we have played for the last 5 years.

What makes this harder to stomach is that we had a huge opportunity/window to invest in this squad and give Poch a real chace and we failed to do that for 2 years. I hope I'm wrong, but I think we're on the verge of a painful rebuild.
