S3E39 | How We Stay Up

The Lab (Tottenham Hotspur Podcast)

Show Notes

We’re joined by professional football coach Harry Brooks to look at Igor Tudor’s first few games in charge and ask the big question: is he making things too complicated at the worst possible time? We get into the Fulham and Palace line-ups, why simplicity might be the only way Spurs survive, which players have to start every week, and whether a more old-school arm-around-the-shoulder approach would give this squad a better chance of staying up. It’s tactical, a bit bleak, and probably more honest than is comfortable.
