From a Spurs forum.

"Are the current Spurs squad better than the Villa squad? I think yes. Outside of McGinn and Watkins who else would you want from Villa?"

I know all fans are deluded to a point, but that's a shocker.


After their goalkeeper's display today, I'd call that a bit of an oversight for a start.

Anyone that would choose Vicario over Emi immediately nullifies any opinion they have on anything. It's actually so bad it nullies their next 3 generations as well.

The follow up to when someone said Doug, Bailey, Martinez.

"Who are these players keeping out of the Spurs starting 11?

Martinez is obvious but Vicario is at least his equal in my opinion."

I’d have Son, Udogie, Van De Ven, maybe Bissouma and Bentancur in our squad. That is all I reckon.

Son looks like his best days are behind him but rest i agree ith.

That van de ven looks absolutely brilliant. But the way spurs play the rely heavily on his running back. He is going to picking up hamstring injuries quite reguarly i think. Esp when dpurs form dips

Bentacur doesnt seem same player since he came back from his injury. Id take maddison too even though he is a complete greasy prick

They're out of their minds. Not least because I think they will actually beat Chelsea.

That's half a side.  FWIW, I agree with those players, all quality, Bentancur arguably the weakest of them, which tells you how strong the others are.

I know that’s a lot of their squad but looking at it if we want consistent Champions League football then maybe the backup has to be of a decent standard. More so if we have an injury list like this season.

Pedro Porro is a better right-back than any right-back that we own.

They’re 5th, other than us, who did they realistically expect to be above this season? I’d say their performance is at least par.

I don't understand them, to be honest. The last couple of seasons they've been rubbish, didn't even get European football last season. Angeball has its flaws but its got them to 5th and back into Europe, still an outside chance of 4th and CL, with only a handful of games to go. Hire a defense coach in the summer and with a few tweaks they'll be right back in the mix. They're in a way better place than they were last season. Some fans have been spoiled for too long and now they can't enjoy what has been a good season for them.

Good point. I think post Kane everyone was expecting them to drop off so not a bad season really. I imagine a lot of pre season predictions had Man Utd, Chelsea and Newcastle above both of us.

Even if he does have an equally punchable face as Maddison? Not a big fan, each to their own though.
