    The amount of people so gleeful about injuries for us is quite distasteful

      I picked palmer since he’s cheaper and a guaranteed started, and decided to buy better players with the money left.

        Look, I know Palmer is literally Chelsea’s best player right now, but with nkunku’s return who do you think is gonna lose his place? I think palmer is not as nailed as u might think

          I think Palmer is much more likely to move to one of the wings than the bench. Losing his creativity and intelligence would be disastrous when our strikers take 5 good chances to score a goal.

    The way Maddison went down looked strange for spraining an ankle. Replay didn’t show any twisting motion. Looked more like some type of an Achilles injury to me but hopefully not.

      That’s what I thought too when I first saw it. Didn’t really seem to twist it, more like he just pulled up suddenly which is never good. But I thought he was walking on it after, if it was a serious Achilles problem I doubt he could. Hopefully he’s alright

    The comments in here are wild, mainly from people who can’t wait to talk bad about Spurs, it’s not like any team losing a key player could face some set back. Arsenal is a shit team, yet on this sub they’re stronger than early 2000 galacticos.

    this is why he cost only £40m

    He requires the team to revolve around him, he’ll exceed expectations by scoring and assisting regularly, then he’ll get injured and the club will be clueless on how else to play because everything revolved around him.

    Spurs will get 4pts max in the next 7 games

    It sounds like the update is that he’s been left out of the England squad, meaning he’s for sure out a couple weeks. Not a lot of details beyond that.

      he’ll probably be back straight after the international break to absolutely rinse our high line with passes into Son

      I don’t want to speak to soon, who knows maybe somehow we beat wolves and City still. But this season was never about winning the league and the fact that it’s even discussed still amazes and excited me. Before the season started I’m pretty sure most Spurs fans would be happy with coming 6th whilst playing nice football given that we were obviously working towards something. especially now that Kane has gone

      Feel like Spurs fans knew the threat was looming because I seen a lot of “if x happens, we’re fucked”. Unfortunately x happened twice in the one match with VDV and Maddison. If anything happens to Son, prepare the eulogy.

      It hasn’t ruined your entire season. Spurs are still in a great position now to push for a CL place which would’ve been well above expectations at the start of the season. Even with your great start a serious title challenge was more fantasy than Lord of the Rings.

        Most peoples concerns are the push for a CL place.

        Lost VDV til potentially January so backlines dodgy. Lost our creative engine for ???. And that’s during a really tough run of games.

        Then in January we lose Sarr/Biss who’ve been running the midfield for AFCON, and Son for the Asian cup.

        Could be a really derailing run of results from here til February.

      It do be like that. But tbh idk if this will completely ruin your season. Might be derailed for a bit but there’s still 75% of the season to go.

    The rate of injuries all over Europe is out of control right now, and then you factor in how the transfer prices for reinforcements just keep going up. It’s a bubble and very concerning.

    No wonder everyone has thin squads when it costs so much just to get a viable starting 11, who then get over played.

      Yep - for all the shit Chelsea and United get (rightfully) for underperforming, there’s only so much that you can do when you’re missing basically an entire team’s worth of players.

      For a good few weeks, Chelsea and Manchester United could put out an “out XI” that was better than their starting XI…

          Tbf, we’re out of it a good bit. Just Lavia, Nkunku, Chilly, Chalobah, Chukwuemeka and Fofana out longterm, although Nkunku is almost back

            That’s still half of a starting lineup though.

            We used to have like 1 or 2 long term problems, and maybe 2 short term injuries.

            Now players drop out weekly like it’s a reality competition.

            I’ll believe the Nkunku returning in November news if it happens. Almost every injury we have goes on longer than expected and now he’s supposed to be back two months early, I have my doubts.

        Sorry, are you saying Chelsea and Man U are victims of inflated player prices resulting in top heavy squads? The team that spent a billion quid in a year and iirc the leading spender over the last decade?

    Play really well for a few weeks, then get injured for 2 months… Repeat.

    So many injuries this season across all the clubs, seems to be impacting the Top 7 quite badly.

    Apart from City of course who just have De Bruyne out and definitely aren’t taking PED’s to keep their injuries in check. Arsenal did it with ‘vitamin’ injections in the 90’s

      Where do you see Spurs fans celebrating here? Are you saying it’s karma for Spurs players to get injured because fans of other clubs celebrated Casemiro’s injury?

      Clown.
