This is an asset for us ofc.
No argument about the importance of our fullbacks to the overall pattern, but it's their crossing we mainly rely on and there's not a lot wrong with Robbo's normally. It went off track somewhat in the latter part of last season but that was because he was pretty much sh@gged out.
Spurs are a nice window in which opposition teams fancy getting a result against them so will commit men forward and Spurs can score on the counter. The more they improve the harder it gets. We've been on that journey already -we started facing the low block against 95% of the league and the need to innovate and find new ways of winning becomes essential. . They'll improve under Conte but third/fourth will be their limit. As Rubans says, Conte doesn't have the patience for the long term and him and Levy will clash spectacularly.
This is getting worse than the time 16 year old me* sat waiting outside some girl's house begging for a chance while she made out with her boyfriend. Have some pride, man.

I like the cut of his jib. If we had the cash I'd buy him for the craic.
He wants a £17m sign on fee.
We’re used to Barca owing us money - us and him would be a perfect fit.
Great in FIFA though
Classic Barca.
They've got Garcia who for some strange reason they made a big deal of getting, Araújo, Mingueza, Umtiti, Christensen and Pique on the books but no, they also need 60M Kounde.
The yearly swapping around of defenders isn't going to help their defence. It needs coaching and a central midfield that can actually run and protect the defence (though presumably Kessie will help in this regard). At their peak they were good enough to ignore the defence because the rest of the team was just that good but that was a long time ago now.
I know Barcelona aren't particularly popular round these parts and have become a bit of a laughing stock of late generally speaking but it's sad to see this. I used to have quite a soft spot for them.
I guess meglomaniac presidents can't quite be counted on for slow and steady.

My son-in-law & family's hometown. I love the city.
Me too. Friendly people.
Given the fact that you find the SCM gag of Barca owing us 42 million irritating, me thinks the soft spot is still there, Keni 😉
Nah, it was the same with the 40M + 1 gag after a while... shit gets old!
It's a really nice city. But I think Gary Neville broke the football club, they've been shit since his lovely attempt at being a football manager
So, Haaland scored a tap-in for City in a 1-0 win against Bayern. The good news backstory is that he has been struggling with various 'niggles' in preseason. Let's see how his body stands up to the rigours of the most intense domestic league in the world.
I hope he breaks down in the 1st minute of the charity friendly.
