Just told you we can have both. Compromising your principles just to win has always struck me as odd, that chain of logic leads to replica Real Madrid shirts in Milton Keynes shopping centres.

1961 was 58 years ago.
We used to play 2 at the back and 5 up front then. Should we still be doing that?
The best teams play 2 or 3 at the back and 5 up front when attacking now, so not much as changed in that sense.
It was not quite like that but more as follows
Gk
RB LB
RH Ch LH
IR IL
RW CF LW
Although many CH's played deeper as a back 3.
Anyone that does not understand the abbreviations was not there.
Talk about false equivalence. Nope we never played five up top when we won our last trophy, had some lovely footballers then too. Staying true to who you are is not something that goes out of style. 61 Blanchflower, 81 Hoddel , 99 Anderton , 2008 Berbatov. 2019 Alli. Theres an identity here deny it all you like, its merely my personal opinion.
I don't want to win at ALL costs, won't support Liverpool like all the London scousers, or Madrid. I also don't want a blood soaked regime sports washing their human rights abuses with a Spurs shirt. I'll not change even if we go down. Folk are free to call me a loser but I'd not swap my relationship with Spurs for anything. It's fine as it is, even if I don't see a repeat of 61.
100% wishful thinking
How Spurs have saved £6.8m in the January transfer window
Spurs are looking to bring in at least one new player to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before the January transfer deadline passes on Friday, and have saved themselves some money alreadywww.football.london
Has quotes from the RB Vice Chairman in there. 2 options.
1) Option to make it permanent in January at a cut price amount.
2) Mandatory purchase if we qualify for the champions league.
That option 2 is interesting, it might not mean what we think as it might be mandatory Betis have to sell him to us at that price and not that we have to buy him. If the guy barely kicks a ball all season and has no say on us qualifying for the CL, then I can't see how we're obliged to buy him.
There is also no reference to other factors. Can we send him back in January? Is there a break clause if the manager is changed? Etc etc etc
It's mandatory if we qualify for the CL. If Lo Celso plays like shit and has 'no impact' on qualication we can't just say no - that's called OPTIONAL.
Yano - the exact opposite of mandatory.
He looks shite.
I was actually impressed with him again but I'm not sure Mourinho is a fan.
Is this ironic or something?
Eriksen was so much better tonight. By every measure. Don't be biased.
We must have watched a completely different game.
A lot of Spurs fans just have it in for Eriksen. Doesn't matter if he plays well, he'll get slated regardless.
JJ was saying the same. I just don't get it.
Didn't make a case for himself today at all. You could be decent going forward but with Mourinho, especially if your a fringe player looking to get in, you've got to work hard defensively. He didn't do much of that at all tonight.
I've seen a bit of complaints about him playing on the right and not the central position. Some might not see it, that's Mourinho giving him a proper chance in the ONLY position we know is expendable in our attack on current form.

I hope he gets more chances. The December period is stacked so there will be minutes available. Even if it is off the bench. He is a fine player but playing him next to Eriksen (and then subbing him ahead of Chris) did not do him any favors.
Eriksen was nothing special but he put Son through for a 1v1. I don’t think Lo Celso created a single chance and he certainly didn’t help KWP defensively.
He will have to play much better than that if he wants to stay here.
Think he’ll get the chop.
why would mourinho take up the option to buy when he could get someone he actually wants?
