Spurs face Manchester City this Wednesday in a repeat of the 6 – 0 thrashing at the Etihad, part of a trio of bad results that made AVB’s position untenable. Numerically this was our worst defeat of the season but of the three thrashings this was easily the most understandable. City have been unstoppable at home and boast a 100% record, scoring 42 goals along the way. The average opponent has lost 3.8 – 0.7 .
Vertonghen and Sandro have been out injured for a considerable time but both made promising appearances in a reserve game last week and have a chance of making the squad for the Manchester City game. Most Spurs fans would agree that they are key players for Tottenham but do the stats back this up?
I recently became aware of a new website that enables you to buy and sell unused season tickets for particular Spurs’ games. This service is provided by Stub Hub, an Ebay subsidiary that is endorsed by the club itself.
The transfer window has just over a week left to run and Spurs haven’t made any significant moves apart from announcing the departure of Jermaine Defoe. So what should Spurs be looking to do before the window closes?
Spurs visit the Liberty Stadium this weekend. The equivalent fixture at White Hart Lane finished 1-0 to Tottenham in August but was one of a number of early games where we struggled to create chances and the points were only secured after a 58th minute penalty from Roberto Soldado.
