Not seen this has been discussed as a factor in how down #THFC feel as an institution and fan base: the entire Club was (inarguably) consistently upwardly mobile and improving from 2005-2019, but having finished second and reached a Champions League final room to grow is minimal.
If anything, that came sooner than anticipated and accelerated expectation…but every decision since has been terrible. Pochettino sacking a seismic disaster and three terrible coaching appointments since. Club had a direction for 14 years and now doesn’t. ‘Win stuff’ is vague.
During that 14 year run of growth fan sentiment was a net positive because there was progress. There was more room for progress. Room for progress is much less now (the distance to the top much smaller) so each decision more important and each failure more easily frustrating.
Who should be the next Tottenham manager after Antonio Conte?
A detailed analysis and my first deep dive into handling my own dataset and creating my own graphics.

LET'S GO!

Conte focuses on a disciplined, 3-4-3 system,
Enrique employs a versatile 4-3-3 with emphasis on possession
Pochettino uses a pressing 4-2-3-1 with quick transitions
De Zerbi employs an attacking 4-2-3-1 with a focus on fluidity and positional interchanges.

De Zerbi employs an attacking 4-2-3-1 with a focus on fluidity and positional interchanges.
Using Enrique's Spain side to be as neutral as possible, he still dominated possession stats. In fact, his Spain side completed nearly 200 more passes/game than De Zerbi (2nd higest) does with Brighton.
Also, Enrique has the best long ball prowess (Pau Torres) and crossing.

🧵So this morning’s reports confirm that Sporting’s stubbornness over Pedro Porro’s €45m (release clause is a stumbling block for #Spurs.
Whilst I have optimism that a deal will still be reached, it would be smart to profile alternative RWB options who would fit Conte’s system:

First though, what makes a Conte wing-back:
Physicality + stamina. The ability to dominate a flank for 90 minutes.
Technical capability. Good combination play with the 10 + consistent, accurate deliveries from wide.
Goal scoring instincts, timing + finishing at the back post.

In the last 4.5 yrs I have had 2 terrible relationships and one long relationship that was absolute shit for the final year of it. Coming out of those 3 disasters, 14 mo. ago I somehow snagged a girl every guy in the world would kill to have (except maybe 4-5, seriously). (1/4)
She knew I needed help and said she wants to help me improve. She said what I knew but didn’t want to believe: it will take time. She insists she’s happy and she wants to be here. Because of her I’m already better now than at basically any time during the last 4.5 yrs. (2/4)
Also I’m going to end things bc how the hell hasn’t she fixed me completely by now even though she never told me it was gonna be quick. She’s only sticking around until someone better than me comes along I just know it. I don’t care that she’s been honest about the work (3/4)

A thread on Harry Kane's offside goal for Tottenham against Sporting. #COYS
This thread brings in information from UEFA, but also uses knowledge of the system and the VAR processes.
Will also include the FACTUAL aspects of the law.

UEFA is not releasing a 3D animation of the decision (reasons will become clear).
However, UEFA has told me that the semi-automated offside technology (SAOT) was used to help assist the officials.
And this image with the correct offside lines was provided to the broadcaster.

Logic tells us that SAOT was used to determine the position of Harry Kane relative to the last defender.
But the ball is the defensive line here.
SAOT only tracks the 22 places.
With UEFA's SAOT, the ball isn't directly tracked, and there is also no sensor within the ball.

I have no clue what this is. I'm going for a back 3:
Neville Bartrip Amy Shelina Naz
Summanen Spence
Petzelberger
Nikola Ayane
Could be a back 4 with Shelina at LB(?) as she's the most comfortable with her left.

Everything I noticed on a sunny Saturday afternoon in Tottenham and why Spurs fans are right to be excited after the 4-1 victory over Southampton... A THREAD 🧵
The Premier League was back this weekend, and earlier than usual, but it appears the premature calendar has played into the hands of Tottenham Hotspur, who got most of their transfer business done uncharacteristically early this year.
As we all know, Spurs went 1-0 down early on to a James Ward-Prowse goal, only to blow Southampton out of the water with four goals and a whole lot of attacking chances. So let's take a look at what we learned from the encounter, beyond that Spurs are top of the league.
Why @DjedSpence is an incredible signing for Tottenham (FINALLY) and what he will bring to the side... A THREAD 🧵
It appears that Djed Spence is finally about to make the move to Tottenham after months of negotiations between Spurs and Middlesbrough over his valuation. The reported fee is around £12.5m, which could rise to £20m after add-ons, which seems like a fair price in the end.
It has been reported that Spence very much tunnel-visioned on Tottenham this summer, and it's always nice when a player joins because they really want to, rather than getting the best wage packet. The only way we have been able to drag talks on this long is because he is so keen.

🔑 Takeaway: Some teams do have different tactics overall &/or for different game states
🧵 is alphabetical, so starting with @ArsenalWFC
Always more long & less accurate passes when losing!

For @AVWFCOfficial there's just the one season.
Ignore winning game states since there were only 2... but they exclusively played very long balls up the pitch when drawing, but were more conservative while losing (with some long balls as well, but not just long passes)

Now @BCFCWomen
Small sample again for winning game states. But they also changed their tactics over these 3 seasons, opting for more long passes across them. But not much of a pattern when breaking down by game state. Usually a lil less accurate when drawing tho

Looking at what that £150m injection means for Tottenham, where we stand with ENIC + Levy, and what comes next... A THREAD
So, just in case any Tottenham fans have been living under a rock this past week, ENIC have invested an extra £150m directly into the club via increased shares. Daniel Levy also released a statement about the investment, seemingly hinting it would be used for on-field success...
ENIC and Joe Lewis have actually been very clever with this turn of events. The money is not technically his. ENIC took out a £150m loan, then Tottenham released £150m worth of shares, ENIC used the loan to buy them, thus injecting the cash into Spurs.
Massive #NLD today.
Wanted to see if Harry Kane performs any differently against Arsenal in the Premier League than against other teams...
Essentially, no 😂 Using a simulation of a normal distribution, his G-xG is pretty similar.
T-test also insignificant @ .05

This basically simulates 100,000 matches of each, using his mean G-xG/90 & standard deviation.
Only looks at PL games where he played at least 45 minutes.
Performed a Monte Carlo simulation in R & also a quick unequal variance t-test in Excel which was non-significant at 95%

Note that the eye test seems to show he performs worse, on average, in the NLD. Yes, his mean is lower (ex: the simulated mean = -.076, but not vs Arsenal = .105).
But given the sample sizes (9 NLDs, over 140 non-NLD, only data since start of 17/18), t-test was not significant

Why I will not be attending the ENIC protest on Monday and why I'm still very calm about the January transfer window despite losing out on Traore and Diaz... A THREAD
I want to start by just reinforcing, this is my opinion. I'm not trying to convey it as fact or the only opinion out there and I welcome debate. The community I'm trying to create here is all about friendly debate over nastiness and trolling, so feel free to embrace that.
I'll cover the ENIC protest section of the thread first and why I won't be attending. As far as I understand it, a number of Spurs fans are going to protest against Levy and the owners for the 'profit over glory' accusation. This just isn't something I relate to.
Antonio Conte, new tactics, Antonio Conte, new formation, Antonio Conte, winners and losers, Antonio Conte and Antonio Conte... A THREAD! 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
So, Antonio Conte is now the official new manager of Tottenham Hotspur. I won't cover anything to do with Nuno in here as I really said all I had to say in my last thread. This will be more about Conte and what he will bring to Spurs.
Let's start by acknowledging the elephant in the room. Conte is a better manager than Tottenham deserve. No Champions League football, no Europa League football, eighth in the Premier League, a struggling squad, a wantaway star striker... Conte did not have to join us.
