De Zerbi Lab 🇮🇹

Who is Roberto De Zerbi? Here are the key tactical principles behind De Zerbi’s football - explained simply. 👇🏻 #thfc #DeZerbi

@xAlexTHFC I'd love to hear the explanation though. He was doing so well at Portsmouth, there was NO reason to recall him.

We have to be the worst team in the country at loaning players

@spursdaily11 Johan Lange special, another teenager

🚨RUMOUR #Tottenham have accelerated in talks to sign #River Plate winger Ian #Subiabre. The winger has 1 goal and 2 assists in the Liga Professional and is regarded as one of the hottest talents in world football. A deal reportedly could be agreed for around €10-15m. If agreed, Ian would stay in #Argentina for another season before joining #Spurs. [@Sport_Witness | #THFC]

@FabrizioRomano He's absolutely right. Also the best team in Europe but people disrespect them because it's Bundesliga.

🚨 Álvaro Arbeloa: “Bayern have been the most consistent team in Europe this season”.

@ben_bowman_ Most of the top 10 are the Arsenal guys, let's be fair

I'm not even sure Bruno would be near my Top 10 anymore I actually have grown to quite like him

This boy could really thrive under De Zerbi. Hope he gets a chance in the summer though. So much competition in the midfield.

@spursdaily11 @tuttosport We're just being linked with any player of any ex-club of De Zerbi at this point.

🚨RUMOUR #Spurs are interested in #Bosnian international defender Tarik #Muharemovic. Serie A side #Sassuolo are demanding €30m for his signature and would be a move which bolsters #Tottenham’s back line. [@tuttosport | #THFC]

@thespursweb Oh My God...

Tottenham Hotspur have identified Fiorentina forward Moise Kean as a target to improve their frontline for next season [Calciomercato]

Which one of the Spurs boys do you see performing in Roberto De Zerbi's midfield? #thfc

@todareistod1882 @HotspurLane @JacobsBen Yeah but you could argue it's a false hope.

@HotspurLane @JacobsBen Typical of their egos to get in the way of an obvious appointment that would bring hope and a rejuvenated sense of attachment back to the fanbase. I like DeZerbi but Poch was always the best move.

🚨 There were senior figures at #THFC AGAINST hiring Mauricio Pochettinho as it would be a nod back to the Daniel Levy era even though it was understood it would be a popular move. 😳 Vivienne Lewis is understood to be one of those against rehiring Pochettino. ❌ @JacobsBen

@InvertTheWing Am i crazy to think that Welbeck for one year makes more sense than either of the current strikers? I know it's not happening for multiple reasons but it shows where our forward line is atm.

Mitoma, Verbruggen, Van Hecke in the summer. Sell Dragusin and Vicario. Integrate Mikey Moore. Get rid of Solanke, get in another 9 capable of starting (I have been convinced more by Richarlison throughout this season as a backup). Sign another Right Winger. Don't extend Palhinha's loan. Get rid of at least one more midfielder (Bissouma could be good under De Zerbi, but we will see.). Bring in 2.

@HotspurLane @JacobsBen I actually absolutely agree with this. It's an emotional move, not a logical one.

@snapdragon_ke @InvertTheWing Didn't they sign Ake from a newly-relegated Bournemouth? And they had Dias, Stones, Laporte and Garcia...

@DeZerbiLab @InvertTheWing If forest go down and city go for a relegation player then the mentality of the city board will be questionable, mixing relegation tax with likes of Rodri is so detrimental to the brand if you ask me

Bernardo Silva is leaving when the time is right. His decline is obvious to see, but he is leaving whilst he is not completely washed. A good servant. Elliot Anderson is the obvious replacement. A workhorse ball carrier with elite ball retention and progression, able to play anywhere in midfield. +Homegrown.

@TheSpursWatch @JacobsBen @LastWordOnSpurs Imagine Spurs next season with De Zerbi and a half-decent sporting director.

🚨🗞️"Sources in the sporting world indicate that Johan Lange’s position is under significant threat, regardless of whether the team stays in the league or gets relegated." @JacobsBen via @LastWordOnSpurs

@InvertTheWing It's definitely a no-brainer if Forest go down.

@DeZerbiLab I agree I think he is SLIGHTLY overrated, but I think if Pep stays, he will fix the biggest deficiency in his game (which is not knowing how soon or when to release the ball). Smart signing.

Impossible to argue this. Postecoglou didn't just win a trophy, he also finished 5th in the first season (missed on UCL because 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 clubs were poor in Europe that year) and was 90 minutes from Wembley in the League cup in his second. Mourinho might have been 2nd if Levy wasn't doing Levy things. But without the trophy, Conte's top 4 charge is clear. Nuno > Frank because he definitely did better in that short spell. Frank was given more time and did way worse + he was backed waaay more in the summer window. #thfc

@HimothyReports I'm glad you're getting your flowers for this, too many fake itks out there nowadays

About Mikey Moore. Just further proof just incase there was any doubt I didn’t know my shit.

@HotspurLane Now it makes sense why he was out for so long, we were hearing stories about a mystery disease

🚨 Mikey Moore opens up about his strange long-term injury at #THFC last season that was AFFECTING HIS HEART! 😳 “I went for a driving lesson at the time that night, and then all of a sudden I just felt a bit of pain in my chest. The doctor called me in and was like, "FORGET ABOUT FOOTBALL for now." 😬 “It came back that I had myocarditis, which is a virus, and it just went to the heart and gave me, gave me the pains in my heart!” “I was lucky that I caught it, caught it early because l'm not sure what could have happened after that.” So thankful that this didn’t become any more serious. Mikey Moore is a serious talent and one of our own! 🤍

@HimothyReports And under RDZ he will get the freedom to actually make some damage instead of playing for corners and free kicks.

Genuinely insane. This is what I mean by he’s going to genuinely carry us like he did at the start of the season. We were so dependent on him.
