Well said Prof. Most post match “interviews” are a f**king waste of time, it’s purely about the ad space. Ralph’s honest point of view is as valid as anyones and I welcome it, I’d also welcome more honest opinions from the managers.

I agree with you on Moi and Redmond. I'm not convinced yet that Tella will kick on to become a Premier league player.

It's occurred more than once this season where I've baulked at seeing Moi selected to start but he's gone on to have a really strong game - not every game though. He was excellent last night.

By a long chalk the best half of football I've seen us play since Koeman.

Agreed but in a way I'm glad he didn't. No doubt he'll have options at the end of the season; we're a strong contender to have him for at least another season. Come on Armando, you know it makes sense.

Possibly or you give him 60 minutes to give Shaw nightmares

I think Redmond had a knock. Either way after a performance like last night most managers would be reluctant to make changes.

Can’t see any changes to the starting line up unless there are some injuries.

The scoreline in their last match v Brighton massively flattered Spurs. Brighton's defence was dog dirt for some reason and the second was about as lucky a goal you'll see. You can see Conte is slowly getting his team into shape from an attacking point of view but they still look susceptible to leaking goals. COYS

A "thunderbastard" of a match report again, cheers

Question for Ralph is does he match Conte’s 3-4-3 formation with Stephens - Bednarek - Salisu as the back 3? I wouldn’t be opposed to that. Typically, Son looks like he’s finding some form again. JWP and Romeu should easily have the better of Winks and Hojbjerg.

All fluff and bluster as per usual. Unable to answer any points raised at a dignified level. Some jobs going at no.10 as of the last couple of days, suspect you’re over qualified though.

Maybe the impact is as simple as available, part of the squad, wearing the red and white - all positive as far as his team mates are concerned. To suggest he's not fussed about Saints is lacking a tad of depth and human intelligence whilst also disregarding the pissibolity that Chelsea won't buy back (Tino) or sell (Broja)

For what it’s worth your point does stand. As does the original post. You are both right, woohoo, what a world eh?!

I believe the original poster is reflecting on the impact to the team not the bank balance.

Good for you

I’d be surprised if Broja’s form doesn’t dip given his age, experience and the levels he’s hit in a short amount of time. Looks a top quality prospect though.

Which also aligns with an increase in use of a back 3 or the flex in system to switch to a back 3.

Looks like Fireman Sam needs the waaahhhhmbulance

You seriously think there was a case of “can’t be arsed” to improve the squad or the more likely option that the right deal wasn’t there to be done?

Be prepared to be disappointed, which by the way is your own doing. The model won’t change as such, expect us to buy potential and sell at the right time.

Out of form player goes to out of form/deluded/rudderless club. What could possibly go wrong??

Let’s be honest, Ali’s trajectory has been downward whilst being with top drawer managers like Poch, Jose and Conte. It’s only sentiment of a couple of decent seasons over 2 years ago that gives this discussion any legs. I’m not against Ali being with us for 4 months but I think that suits Spurs more than it suits us, therefore if they want to use our shop window they can pay for it by significantly subsidising his wages.

Dele is bang out of form. Not sure why we expect Ralph to change that if Conte appears unable to.

Are you ignoring my simple instruction?
