I'm the Sumo

@Eujhn2 @pokeefe1 @albertowandill @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 Literally the opposite is true. RDZ didn't use his system because we didn't have the players to play it. RDZ played to our players strengths, if he played his ideal system, Paliniha would be nowhere near it.

@yourasumo @pokeefe1 @albertowandill @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 The thing is, De Zerbis system means palhinha doesn’t have to do that. Hence why you never see him do it.

What the hell

@Eujhn2 @pokeefe1 @albertowandill @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 Watch what happens when any player pressures him in the midfield, or he has to play on the half-turn, then come back and say that. Watch Bentancur (who's okay at it at best) do it after. You'll see the difference.

@pokeefe1 @yourasumo @albertowandill @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 Worst part is Paul I wouldn’t even say palhinha on the ball is as bad as I thought he’d be. He’s not half bad for a guy with his build, I’m very pleased with him.

@pokeefe1 @faP7Vd7MBjvgWIM @albertowandill @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 There are, but when Frank did not have a million injuries earlier in the season, we were still awful (just very lucky) and his signing and continual playing was a sign that we were going to play crap, unsustainable football. We want to be better, and therefore we do not need him

@faP7Vd7MBjvgWIM @yourasumo @albertowandill @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 We averaged around 13 injuries all season for one and dopey Lange said we wouldn't be forced into making signings. There's a million other reasons Spurs were a mess before you land at Palhinha.

@pokeefe1 @albertowandill @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 You can re-read it, it says "one of" not "the". Please don't change my words to fit your argument. Injuries and bad tactics from Frank are the main reason we were there. But he epitomises those tactics, if we swapped him for Tielemans say, we would not be there.

@yourasumo @albertowandill @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 It's a big stretch to say he was the man responsible for spurs being in the relegation battle. Let's at least be sensible

@albertowandill @pokeefe1 @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 I watch football, not highlights

@pokeefe1 @yourasumo @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 Is he being serious?

@pokeefe1 @albertowandill @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 Vendetta? This is me watching football. I'm sorry that a couple of goals, tackles and 'passion' doesn't convince me that someone is a good midfielder. If you want to be relegation slop or mid-table, play Paliniha. If you want to play and watch good football, don't.

@yourasumo @albertowandill @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 Haha fuck me you really do have an agenda / vendetta. Hilarious

@albertowandill @pokeefe1 @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 He's also one of the big reasons why we were in that position in the first place

@pokeefe1 @yourasumo @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 It’s not really in dispute that Palhinha is one of the reasons we stayed up.

@Daniel532388588 @pokeefe1 @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 Just because he plays in the 10 position does not mean he does the same things as Xavi, they are entirely different and are not replacements for each other.

@yourasumo @pokeefe1 @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 And sarr has played most of his games as a 10 this year. Even de zerbi knows that gallaghers best performances come in the 10 as he is crap in the pivot

@Daniel532388588 @pokeefe1 @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 Gallagher is not a xavi replacement, he's a Sarr replacement.

@yourasumo @pokeefe1 @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 Dont need a xavi replacement got maddison and gallagher for the 10s. Think we do need one more midfielder even if we sign palhinha

@Thefutur31snow @pokeefe1 @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 TBF all of the previous players you mention are better at progression than what we have bar Bentancur. I long for 2019 Winks at this point 😂

@Daniel532388588 @pokeefe1 @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 I think so, but that doesn't shouldn't mean Palininha stays. We need two technical midfielders, we don't have space with the recruitment we need to do to replace odobert and Xavi + a LB + a GK

@pokeefe1 @yourasumo @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 Surely sarr goes. Hes never kicked on always starts the season strong then just tails off. Also rather keep gray and bergvall

@pokeefe1 @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 Well it should be up to many people but he gets a big say. It's also about the price - I would take Locatelli in a heartbeat plus another £30m rather than him. I think the point is, do we have the resource and space for someone who cannot pass in midfield to be at the top?

@yourasumo @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 That's up to RDZ to decide on the balance. Not sure he fancies Sarr yet? Hard to tell because I think due to the threat of relegation he went with experience.

@pokeefe1 @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 But do you not agree that Bentancur/Gallagher/Sarr have his similar attributes but are better technically and thus will not be a total black hole for progression? And therefore we have similar players who are better at other stuff, why not keep them?

@yourasumo @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 Haha yes it was dreadful! I just think if you're building a squad then a senior pro of his experience adds value. I'm not saying he's first name on the sheet every week. Find a mix that will allow rotation and flexibility.

@pokeefe1 @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 Fantastic, please don't suggest that criticism of your opinion means we don't want you to have a have one again :). Now we can talk about football, you agree Paliniha's midfield Chelsea performance was one of the worst in recent memory, totally unacceptable for spurs?

@yourasumo @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 Of course. I've no issue with that? We are all grown ups and it's merely words on a screen. We all want success for the club ultimately. Be very boring if we all just agreed with each other like nodding dogs. That's how Levy ran his boardroom...

@pokeefe1 @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 It's perfectly fine to have an opinion, in fact it's a good that you do. But if you are going to stake it publicly, expect criticism and ridicule if it's wrong (just as you tried to do to Kish).

@yourasumo @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 You can do as you wish? Nobody is stopping you have an opinion despite you being very keen for people to not have one in return.

@pokeefe1 @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 We should stop listening to granddad's who believe hard work and tackling is enough and ridicule them back to the 1980s or till they learn football has moved on(Thank you for the spelling check btw :) )

@yourasumo @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 Good for you. Now what?

@pokeefe1 @SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 My guy is taking a victory lap over a player helping us scrape relegation when he thought he was meant to keep solidify us defensively (we've been way worse this season) I for one, do not want to watch a plummer attempt to kick a football as our midfield gem next season.

@SebOnFootball @Kish_P14 😏

@Kish_P14 @User7460589 That's a bot mate

@User7460589 😭😭😭 These 50 year olds will have blood on their hands

I like Gallagher I also like Palhinha You can now take your laptops and go work out the xG on how many fucks I give that you don't like them 🔥🔥🔥🔥

@SkySportsLyall Actually cannot believe the club is so incompetent to follow the transfer strategy of a journalist. One day we might buy someone who passes forward.

😉

@pokeefe1 @thfcmax__ Hojberg was a better passer than Palinha

@thfcmax__ He had bricks as boots. And would constantly fuck up then throw his arms up and blame everyone else. Bloke was a fucking helmet not Viking.
