Does anyone have a link to a debate about Spurs' finances from 2009? I need something to pep me up after two days of this.

Quote from: Monty on September 21, 2021, 11:14:47 AMJohn, I think the Southgate point can be left aside. Nobody at club level seriously takes their cues from Southgate - he takes his from them, from people like Conte etc.I know but there still is similarities whether we like it or notAnd those similarities are very simple England and Villa are blessed with creative and attacking talentSo we had Buendia Bailey El ghazi Traore On the benchAfter the first sub we had three Central defenders 2 full backs and a holding midfield Player (Nakamba)With all those creative place still sitting on the benchThat is an absolute 100% fact unarguable you can put your head in the sand all you like and pretend otherwise but the game was turned on its head when he used one of those players exactly the same as Southgate did in the EurosSo I’m sorry but the similarity is there whether you like it or notI’m not saying it’s an exact copy I’m saying it’s a similar tactic, Southgate uses 2 holding midfielders so there is a difference but like I keep saying it’s not always about formations it’s about playersKeeping your creative attacking players on the bench for an hour is a tactic used by Smith and Southgate over the last couple of gamesWill it turn into the tactic of choice I’ve no idea

Thought so. Why was it such a debate? I do remember it but can’t remember why it was such an interest (to some) here.

Bailey wasn't left back. No need to apologise.Never said he was, as you very well know.It’s pretty conclusive that we were 3 at the back, which you said never happened, though.No need to apologise
