18 Plays3 days ago
Daily Tottenham's Chris Mervyn is joined by Oliver Kasabi to discuss where they've been hiding for the last couple of days since the NLD debacle. Still in a state of huge disappointment, they discuss 'that' match, what's wrong at Tottenham FC, preview the Everton match, touch on transfers and begrudgingly start the conversation about Big Ange and the ticking clock that is Levy.

Introduction to the Daily Tottenham Podcast
00:00:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello, hello, hello Spurs family. Welcome to another episode of Daily Tottenham, your one-stop daily podcast for all things Tottenham Hotspur on the Global Sports Podcast Network. That is a mouthful. Good morning, good
North London Derby Disappointment
00:00:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
evening. I'm Chris Mervyn, and today I've come out of hiding after that really disappointing North London derby. The sunglasses and the skies are off, and I'll be talking about this. Discussing the fourth clear match away at Everton. Talking about it began on our league position. So like a 1970s horror movie,
00:00:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Prepare to have flashbacks about our last performance. Use younger positively to lift that extra bit of weight if you listen to this in the gym or listen along continuing to avoid eye contact with anyone like most Spurs fans have since Wednesday night.
Guest Oliver Kasabi's Perspective
00:00:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Feeling alone and paddling in my own self-pity like every Spurs fan at the moment, I am joined in the sombre state today by the always insightful Oliver Kasabi. Still new today to the podcast, but not new to the disappointment and familiar gut-wrenching feeling of being the Spurs fan. Oli, where have you been hiding? How are you feeling now you've had a few days to digest that disgusting performance?
00:01:22
Oliver
I am still feeling just as disappointed as I was as soon as the final whistle blew. I mean, we just didn't get going in the North London Derby.
00:01:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
no no not at all not at all i generally thought and this can might be blind naivety but i generally thought we'd get something from the game i thought i generally thought we could yeah yep know it's
00:01:47
Oliver
No, I was actually optimistic because Arsenal have had a couple of poor performances prior to that game. Their attack was the weakest it will be all season. So I had a bit of optimism, but Spurs had to let me down again.
Analyzing Arsenal's Strengths
00:02:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's hard not to be biased, but how impressed were you with Arsenal? um and how do you think how you know how big is There's obviously a gap there. ah Do you think it's mentality or quality? and I personally, again, it's going to be one-sided, but I personally thought these guys are supposed to be challenging for the league, and I didn't think they were all that, to be fair. but Again, that might be my Spurs hat on.
00:02:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
i
00:02:26
Oliver
I mean, they weren't brilliant, but I didn't expect them to be brilliant. I thought, I thought defensively, they have their main defense.
00:02:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
night
00:02:34
Oliver
that They were brilliant at the back. We didn't, I didn't feel like we were really threatening for 90 minutes. And I expected that to be honest, because with Gabrielle Saliba, they, they always look really good defensively.
00:02:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then when Richard Wilson came on, um he actually did alright, and he actually put some crosses in. um And he picked out a few long balls switching the play as well, and it was good to see him back. And he just adds an element of shit-housing, I think is the phrase, um which we which you all like, don't we?
00:03:02
Oliver
yeah yeah i mean He is that player that will just go on and I feel like he was one of the few that were playing for the badge in that game.
00:03:14
Oliver
In the little minutes he had, he got about the pitch, caused some problems and he was one of the few that did that.
00:03:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
Spurs' Inconsistent Form and Attitude
00:03:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I think you're exactly right. Million dollar question, how do we fix it?
00:03:28
Oliver
Well that bald fraud upstairs had to has to spend some money. That is what we have to do. We have to back Ang.
00:03:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
We'll talk about transfers towards the end of the podcast because we've got a few, as with any typical Spurs team, any player who is available, who was muted, the possibility of wanting to play in the Premier League is linked to us and some which are playing in the Premier League already.
00:03:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
We definitely need to buy some players in.
00:03:55
Oliver
Yeah.
00:03:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's given him, it shows a back into the match as well, doesn't it? If he's going to back him, you know, if he doesn't, then
00:04:02
Oliver
yeah What's the point of the rebuild?
00:04:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
The writing's on the wall. What's the point? yeah What was the point of backing somebody if you're going to go through it?
00:04:05
Oliver
yeah Yeah.
00:04:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Again, we'll talk about that towards the end of the podcast, I guess. um So a bit about the typical of our season. We went into the match with a topsy-turvy form in general, although a league form was and still is non-existent and showing all the signs um and results of a team plummeting towards relegation.
00:04:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah We faced Arsenal, a team who arguably had lived up to the spurty tag, in some of their own former season as well, ah yet sit challenging for the league title.
Match Analysis: Spurs vs. Arsenal
00:04:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Their own displays have been labelled boring and a little bit stuck by even their own fans, yet they continue to get points this season.
00:04:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
They are so bloody annoying. um That's a really polite way of saying it. I think of I've said, yeah, ah yeah it is.
00:04:51
Oliver
That's the nicest, nicest way you could have put it.
00:04:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's so annoying those that team. um For those who didn't see the match, just as a result, we lost 2-1 after going into a lead with a deflected strike by Sonia on 25 minutes. Only to be pinned back by a poorly defended corner.
00:05:05
Oliver
Uh, yeah, hit Gabrielle.
00:05:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
um I think it was Gabriel, wasn't it? It happened in the... Is it Saliba? Yeah.
00:05:10
Oliver
Had it hit Dragison onto Solanki on goal from Solanki.
00:05:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:05:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Deflecting past the keeper. um Less than four minutes later, a quick break led to Trozard, or Drozard, as I always like to call him. Getting too much time and hitting a shot at that, to be honest.
00:05:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we've sung in the praises of Kinski over the last two games, but he should have done better with that shot, to be fair. He should have palmed it away.
00:05:32
Oliver
Yeah, I think Vicario would have saved it.
00:05:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Exactly. But that's the that's the problem when you have two the two keepers and you always compare them, aren't you? Or three keepers, shall we say.
00:05:39
Oliver
Yeah.
00:05:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
um We had a much better second half on intention and attacking wise. Ultimately, we came up short again, a total of six shots on target between the teams. um Possession starts at 50% for Arsenal, 47% for us.
00:05:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Looked great to anyone that didn't actually watch the match.
00:05:58
Oliver
Yeah.
00:05:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
um But it was a poor first half and I was pretty angry at how the players simply didn't look look look up for it really. Arguably one of our biggest games of the season. What were your thoughts on the players' attitude attitudes on it?
00:06:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
But with Anj making changes at half-time, do you think that dressing room got a real rollicant at half-time? Or do you think that Anj isn't that type of manager to do that?
00:06:17
Oliver
I think Ang is that type of manager. I'm not sure if he would have done it when we were ah losing in the in the Derby. But I think the attitude of the players, especially in that game, has been miles off of it.
00:06:32
Oliver
And it's been like that in many games this season, to be honest. And it's so strange because there's some games where we're away to city and the mentality of all the players is top tier.
00:06:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:06:45
Oliver
and then You have arguably our biggest game of the season against Arsenal, and they no one's up for it. Not one player was up for that that started that game.
00:06:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep. it's It was so frustrating. It really
Player Highlights: Lucas Bergval
00:07:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
was. I mean, One of the few players to come out of the match with any plaudits was Lucas Bergval.
00:07:05
Oliver
Yeah.
00:07:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Again, and we've talked about him previously, of course, and we're we're good big fans, aren't we, of him?
00:07:11
Oliver
Yeah, massive fans.
00:07:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Anyone listening to this podcast, there'll be some whisper in any of that. um Do you think we're starting to see his name down as one of the first on the team sheet? and Because he's certainly driving forward, isn't he?
00:07:20
Oliver
up Absolutely. I think once we get Romero and van der Vem back, I want to see Archie Gray and Bergval
Midfield Strategy Suggestions
00:07:29
Oliver
starting in that midfield together, because I think that would be brilliant.
00:07:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes. Yes. Yeah, you can't, I mean, Archie Grey, he's done phenomenally and yes, he's not a centre back, but he we he's shown enough dispersed fans to see that actually put him in his right position and give him a chance.
00:07:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I think that you're exactly right. You can't just drop him from the team, put him on the bench when you when the defenders are back.
00:07:49
Oliver
he He has to start over a consumer.
00:07:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
He, yeah. What's happened to Saar? Saar is gone AWOL.
00:07:54
Oliver
so I think Saul's been overworked because the first first bit of this season, he he was top three players for me.
00:07:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:08:01
Oliver
He was brilliant, um but he's dropped off massively. And I think that's down to having a lack of options throughout the team.
00:08:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah, I think you're right, I think you're right. Summarising the match and with, as I said before, blind optimism, I saw it in matches, a great opportunity to go out and attack them and make them prove why they are up there challenging for the title. um There was, still is, a gap between us um and it's, you know, it's unfortunate, of course it is, and whilst my head on paper um said they should always get a win.
00:08:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Our lack of fight, want and belief that we could get something out of the game was hugely hugely hugely disappointing and that's the most annoying thing for us Spurs fans I guess when we see the play the team go out there and not actually give give energy and want to win because but God loves a trier.
00:08:50
Oliver
Yeah.
00:08:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
They're talented enough but if they don't go out there and show the heart to play for the badge then they're gonna get it aren't they?
00:08:57
Oliver
I just, I just think that there are, we've had players in the past who knew what it it meant to be a Tottenham player in the North London Derby.
00:09:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
yes
00:09:05
Oliver
And I just don't think any of those players know what it may be son, but they don't know what it means to be a Tottenham player in the North London and Derby.
00:09:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes.
00:09:14
Oliver
And I think that was clear on Wednesday.
00:09:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
But songs too, he's too nice, isn't he? He doesn't rub it in the face and you want that? You want that kind of shit-housery.
00:09:21
Oliver
yeah like you want You want a Gabrielle on your team who will just...
00:09:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah, you do. you I mean... Yeah, it's it's so, so annoying.
Debating Ange's Management Style
00:09:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
There's nothing more I like to have done or seen than someone wiping that Lego smile off our tester's little square head.
00:09:37
Oliver
ah He rattles me.
00:09:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
um oh His eyes are getting close together now, that's personal, I'm not going i'm not going there.
00:09:40
Oliver
Yes, in your technical area.
00:09:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Despite a good show once again by Burvel, Grey and Spence, you've got to mention Spence as well, I thought he was decent.
00:09:50
Oliver
Yeah, Spencer's been brilliant.
00:09:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
It simply was not good enough. ah Big Ann said as much in his post-match interview, took the blame. I mean, what else can he do? um But um how long can we...
00:10:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
wu we as i say the will we um survive playing like this before his job is under serious pressure and more about that a bit later I think it's not great. and After the break we'll look forward to our next match on the road which is against an Everton side that has a new slash Ode manager now in place.
Preview: Upcoming Match Against Everton
00:10:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Will we suffer against a team with a new manager bounce or for Everton pun incoming, by the way.
00:10:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah will it Will it be more of the same old story, or should I say mores of the same old story? No, no. I knew that wouldn't work.
00:10:36
Oliver
No it's good, it's good, it's good.
00:10:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
I knew that wouldn't work.
00:11:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Welcome back, let's put the pass behind us. It's a song, it's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new match to look forward, no, maybe that last last bit wasn't in there. ah We face Everton on Sunday in the Premier League, and whilst we are a team in transition, Everton find themselves with David Moyes, returning as manager, and as team that is struggling for points and goals. Oli, whilst we are struggling for points ourselves, of course, do you think that we are gonna get a result this weekend?
00:11:45
Oliver
I think... gone.
00:11:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
or Or do you think that we are at risk of becoming the new Everton? Once mighty, but now have a new stadium looking at the threat of relegation. I was still in a bad mood when I wrote this.
00:11:57
Oliver
um i I think we are... I think we have to beat them. If we don't beat them...
00:12:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
We don't have a choice do we?
00:12:07
Oliver
nah. If we don't beat them, I don't ah don't really know where we're gonna get points because they... They don't have much quality. I don't think their striker Calvert-Lewin scored for months. um You just know he's scoring against us. But they they do have a couple decent players, especially at the back. I think they're quite good.
00:12:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I mean, Brantford Weight is still there, isn't he?
00:12:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Has he been playing? um
00:12:31
Oliver
Yeah, Brown for it.
00:12:33
Oliver
And Tarkowski are quite good.
00:12:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah the they're They're just a kind of, and and the form shows that, although we can't actually say anything. um The form shows that they're pretty much of nothing sort of team, really. I mean, they sometimes, got they were getting new nails, Pickford's saving quite a few times, but also I think Pickford's also ah a little bit of a liability sometimes as well. so um But he's no doubt that one of the best players. At least he's performing. Calvert Lewin,
00:12:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
he's dropped off a cliff and there's talks about him going to places an hour and I'm thinking, why? Why would you, he's he's not even, in he's massively injury prone.
00:13:05
Oliver
Yeah, who would want him?
00:13:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, hang on a minute, we should buy him. There we go.
00:13:11
Oliver
get it
00:13:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah um So we've talked about briefly wants to watch the Everton team. um Can they cause us any issues?
00:13:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
They shouldn't do, should they? As he said, there's nothing about them really.
00:13:19
Oliver
um I mean, we are Tottenham.
Defensive Concerns and Potential Improvements
00:13:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
We always say this, I'll be fine.
00:13:27
Oliver
I think um they've got a why play are Illyman and Jai and he will be up against Pedro Poirot.
00:13:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes.
00:13:34
Oliver
So I think he could have a field day um if Poirot defends how he has done over the course of this season.
00:13:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, he's been over overplayed only, Poirot, I think, as well.
00:13:41
Oliver
um
00:13:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
um He could have rested them, to be fair.
00:13:45
Oliver
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Both, both fullback, I mean, I don't think he'll play, I don't think he'll play against Everton, but midweek against Hoffenheim, I think he'll get some minutes.
00:13:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Ben Davies is back, which we'll talk about stuff in a minute. I think he's back.
00:13:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
No.
00:13:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I think you're right. I think you're right. And I'll start on line up. So let's go through it. um Obviously, Kingsley is going to start. um There was a lot of I don't know if I was reading a journalist who were Arsenal fans.
00:14:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah so um There was a lot of jibbing about Kingsky and how Spurs have gone from ah i've ruined him from being a quite a confident player in in in Europe.
00:14:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah In free games, go into somebody who has to pass out from the back and can't pass it long now. I just think it's the press. I think you know there's a lot of pressure under him and he's 21.
00:14:35
Oliver
I think, especially in that game against Arsenal, he, I feel like he was bringing a lot of the pressure on himself, but he had multiple chances to learn his lesson and clear the ball as soon as possible, or not as soon as possible, but just a lot quicker than he was.
00:14:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:14:51
Oliver
And he didn't learn his lesson and he kept on doing it and it was just a bit more pressure on himself. so I think ah think he'll be he'll be fine. He'll be able to play with the Bullets feet against Everton because I don't think they'll press too much.
00:15:04
Oliver
um And, listen, he had a great game against Liverpool. I think three games in, you can't really judge whether he's going to be great or whether he's not.
00:15:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
no You're exactly right. And to be honest, on the corners, he was getting his hands to it. He made the right decisions ah when to come.
00:15:18
Oliver
Yeah, aerially, he is so much better than Lucario and we we have missed that
00:15:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
100%. He's just not as good a shot stopper, but but the aga again, it's early days, isn't it?
00:15:27
Oliver
Yeah.
00:15:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Indeed, indeed. ah So ah same defense.
00:15:32
Oliver
Yeah, Spence Grey, Jagger Simporo.
00:15:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep. um Midfield. Bergval.
00:15:39
Oliver
I think Bergvall definitely start. I think Madison will start. um And I think Saar will have to start, because I think Persuma might be injured.
00:15:50
Oliver
um
00:15:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, he's got a a bit of a niggle, I think.
00:15:53
Oliver
Yeah, and but um ben tank or he's out.
00:15:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:15:57
Oliver
Um, Maybe he may be playing it soft and high but he's out definitely out for the everton game. So I think sa will be forced to play on the right slanky up top son on the left, but I think son will only Get 60 minutes and then maybe maki more or come on
00:16:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Great. And up up front.
00:16:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Let's not go and talk about Sony. It makes me sad.
00:16:25
Oliver
when where if If Son plays one game a week in the Premier League or in Europe,
00:16:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Don't know about you.
00:16:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
You said this actually in the preview for the arsenal. You did say this, um so it could be your juice.
00:16:33
Oliver
yeah
00:16:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think you're right.
00:16:36
Oliver
if he plays one game a week he is still capable of impacting games at a big level.
00:16:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
quote Yeah, I think you're right. I think you're right. Okay, after the next short break, let's get our score
Predictions for Everton Match
00:16:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
predictions.
00:16:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Have a look ah quickt have a quick chat on Ange and ask whether or not I want for him to succeed his blinding our ability to see that actually, unfortunately like many Spurs fans feel, not these two here on this podcast by the way, but like many Spurs fans feel, he isn't really that good enough mate.
00:17:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
So let's get straight into our score predictions for the episode match. Will it be a battle to end all ages? Boring draw? Probably unlikely. Or a rampant morale boost and win, whatever we all want.
00:18:04
Oliver
Yeah.
00:18:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Ollie, what are your thoughts and how important is it to get this win, mate?
00:18:05
Oliver
I mean, it is massive because we we aren't picking up points in the Premier League and Everton against Everton, they they don't they don't look like scoring at all.
00:18:19
Oliver
I think they still will against us, but this this is massive.
00:18:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
No.
00:18:24
Oliver
I'm going a 2-1 Spurs win, but I'm hoping for more than 2-1.
00:18:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
mate i was going to go 2-1 as well we both went 2-1 for this spares arthur match we just got around the wrong way i might even go Everton 2 spares 1 just so that fate will show us that it's actually going to be reversed um no i think um we've got to come on come on guys we've got to be able to beat them we've got to do it and now is a great time to do it a team in in in transition of sorts um not much about them they haven't got any major star players good good professionals i'm sure but
00:18:34
Oliver
Yeah. Yeah.
00:18:42
Oliver
yeah
00:18:47
Oliver
We have to turn the corner somewhere.
00:19:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
we've got to be able to pick ourselves up and do better.
00:19:02
Oliver
They'll be up for it though. They'll know that it's us and they can definitely, they'll believe that they can get something big from that game.
00:19:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
They will.
00:19:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, and also because the transfer window's open and there's a new new managers of sorts and you know their their positions are on the line as well. They can still bring in some players, especially Everton.
00:19:16
Oliver
okay
00:19:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
They're not going for players who are going to be £50 million. pounds you know They're going to be players who are towards the end of their contracts and they'll be able to do a good job for them, like West Ham did, I guess.
00:19:25
Oliver
Yeah.
00:19:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
so ah so yeah I think you're you're right, a 2-1. I can't ah would love more, but I think that is it's going to be a little bit nervy at points ah just because we're fragile.
00:19:37
Oliver
I feel like we we struggle going to Everton um in a lot of games.
00:19:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:19:41
Oliver
I feel like there, like I remember that Michael Kane, like 90 plus six minute equalizer from outside the box. I remember losing five, four in the FA Cup to them.
00:19:53
Oliver
We've had some bad results against them in the past, but surely we can win this one.
00:20:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, I'm gonna have to find a rabbit's foot or something. Or, you know, wear my lucky pants or something, I don't know.
Transfer Needs and Speculation
00:20:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, transfer window open. Let's talk about transfers, very briefly. Who do we need?
00:20:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Who we'd like to see coming in? Who we've been linked with? What do we need, mate?
00:20:18
Oliver
We, I think we need a left back.
00:20:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
First 11.
00:20:23
Oliver
I think we need a left back. So when a dog is back, he can finally get some rest and then Spence can come in place for Poro.
00:20:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:20:33
Oliver
I'd actually start him over Poro to be honest, um but then they can rest. I think, I think we need a versatile attacker, which we've been looking for definitely um that can play across the front three. And ah we do need more but I don't think we'll be able to do that in the January transfer window.
00:20:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, when I started this podcast, we've mentioned about being linked to every player here, but these are the ones which keep on coming back around quite a bit. Grealish, can't see it happening.
00:21:08
Oliver
No.
00:21:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Didn't fit the profile. What do you think?
00:21:10
Oliver
ah think I think he would actually be a very good for us. I think he's a player Ange admires, but I don't think we'd be able to pay his wages.
00:21:20
Oliver
I don't think i think we could, but Levi won't.
00:21:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, you're exactly right. Let's play on the levy. Embromo, obviously striker Brentford, 25 years old, 13 goals this season.
00:21:27
Oliver
Oh yeah.
00:21:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Talking 50 million for that. I think that, you know, to tempt them a little bit.
00:21:36
Oliver
if If we, I think for 15 million mid-season, I think that could be a bit of a steal.
00:21:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:21:43
Oliver
He's very young. He's not as old as people think.
00:21:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, 25, yeah. So Cameroon, is it international as well? It doesn't really matter, but...
00:21:49
Oliver
ah He must be. um Yeah.
00:21:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I mean, he can play right across as well, kind of. He can play on this the the wing and up front.
00:21:54
Oliver
Yeah. Everywhere. yeah I mean, he would be brilliant. I'd love it if we got him, but I don't see it.
00:21:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. I can't say either. Brentford would be silly in their position to to let him go. He's got 18 months of his contract, I think, as well. So that's not going to happen.
00:22:06
Oliver
Yeah.
00:22:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Couple of red today.
00:22:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
And this is classic Spurs, and a classic Levy, to be fair. Anzi Fatih.
00:22:18
Oliver
Oh, he his hamstrings would be gone the moment he walked through the door.
00:22:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Exactly. He's exactly a type of Spurs player we need. ah But 10 million. 22 years old.
00:22:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
he's no doubt No doubt he's got talent. he He hasn't been in the right formation in the club and obviously it's his fitness and it's his body.
00:22:36
Oliver
Yeah.
00:22:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Is that because he's been overplayed when he was too young? I don't know.
00:22:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
But that's
00:22:40
Oliver
I mean, I think some players are just very unfortunate.
00:22:45
Oliver
Um, I think if we, 10 million, you're not taking a huge risk. Um, I'll leave you wouldn't be taking a huge risk. And I feel like there's still something there.
00:22:57
Oliver
say
00:22:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, i I can see that happening, and it sounds wrong, because we don't actually need him. we we could beat There's better players to get, I think. But for 10 million, ah you can see it's this kind of, oh, we've done a deal, and and we've got this player in.
00:23:04
Oliver
Yeah.
00:23:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Creative, um he's got talent, no doubt. But don know um i've I I've covered my ones.
00:23:16
Oliver
I think he's been frozen.
00:23:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Jonathan David, um he's still being linked quite a bit.
00:23:20
Oliver
Always linked with him.
00:23:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you like him, Shryker?
00:23:25
Oliver
I mean, I haven't really seen much of him. I saw a bit of him in the Champions League and he looked decent. We're always linked with him though and never seems to happen.
00:23:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I think you're right. it Last three seasons, I think. And then finally, and this is left field, it's never going to happen.
00:23:35
Oliver
Yeah.
00:23:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's purely because Gonaccio's agent wants to get him some more money, um no doubt.
00:23:42
Oliver
Oh yeah.
00:23:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
60 million bid for Gonaccio, we're talking.
00:23:46
Oliver
I think Chelsea have inquired about him, but Garnaccio's younger brother has been saying some stuff, negative stuff about Chelsea while Garnaccio's been at United.
00:23:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
So you're telling me there's a chance.
00:23:59
Oliver
So Chelsea fans don't really want Garnaccio at the club because of his young younger brother comments. um So I mean, they've inquired Chelsea.
00:24:11
Oliver
We will never get him.
00:24:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Would fit into our team? I mean, it's not gonna happen, of course or not, but would he fit into the team?
00:24:14
Oliver
um
00:24:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
He certainly takes the player on, that's what we don't have on our wingers.
00:24:17
Oliver
He can play on the right, he can play on the left. um ah just I don't really rate him that highly though, to be honest.
00:24:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, but is he better than Johnson?
00:24:25
Oliver
Definitely better than Johnson. I mean, most wingers are. That guy can't do anything.
00:24:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah, I think that was your comment on the WhatsApp group, wasn't it? No
Importance of Upcoming Matches
00:24:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
worries. um Okay, so next three league matches with European League matches between against Hoffenheim and Ellsborg are Everton away, obviously, Leicester at home and Brentford away. Then we have the now very important second leg of the Caribba Cup. Ollie, how many points do we need from those games, from those league matches?
00:24:56
Oliver
in the league matches, we need to be picking up seven points minimum.
00:25:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I think that.
00:25:00
Oliver
I think we, yeah.
00:25:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Everton, Leicester, come on.
00:25:02
Oliver
And then the draw against Brentford.
00:25:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
The Gobi Six there. And Brentford, you take a draw.
00:25:05
Oliver
Yeah.
00:25:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think you're exactly right on that. um I mean, Brentford is away. But I don't think they've...
00:25:13
Oliver
Yeah. I mean, that they're not as, they're not as good as people think they are at home. They've played, ah they beat a lot of the bad teams um at home.
00:25:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:25:21
Oliver
I guess we are a bad team as well. But, um,
00:25:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, that's that's the mental shifter, isn't it? Because we know we're not a bad team. It's just circumstance.
00:25:29
Oliver
Yeah.
00:25:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we know that, I think, in the previous post, some Arsenal fans said, oh, yeah, you'll be happy finishing 12 for you. We're not going to finish 12. We're going to finish higher. But then you think, crikey, if you keep on slipping and we leave it later and later to get points, there's only so many points in the season.
00:25:42
Oliver
yeah
00:25:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
so um oh ah We spoke of it before we start this podcast. It's a key time for Ang, isn't it? um If you don't start picking up league points, Europe goes wrong. It's all set up for a real make or break match against Liverpool for him. um And Levi's got history, if you've got a sack of people, Levi does get to the final as well.
Ange's Job Security Speculations
00:26:04
Oliver
Yeah, i that guy is silly but uh with anj uh, he he is fine in my opinion until We are out of the cups because if we if we're out of the cups Leave he's going to look at our league position We'll be 12 for something in no cups and he'll be like, yeah, you're gone so I think he's fine until we're out of the cups
00:26:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
yep Yep.
00:26:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep. Yep. I think you're right. No one else would go all the way, win the caribou and get relegated.
00:26:42
Oliver
We've been playing in Europe in the championship.
00:26:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Wow. Yeah, of course we will. Well, it happened might have happened before.
00:26:49
Oliver
It has happened before, I think.
00:26:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
It might have happened before. Yeah.
00:26:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Come on, what team it was? Yeah. Oh.
00:26:51
Oliver
Wigan in 2008.
