Tottenham Hotspur crisis

Spurs have sacked more managers than they've had home league wins since last May.

Tottenham manager search

De Zerbi is said to be unsure about whether or not he wants to take it in this situation and would rather see where they are in the season. You can kind of understand that because you don't want to have on my CV the guy who took Tottenham down.

Phil Foden form

Foden just really struggled as the number 10. Tuchel talked about him not being adventurous enough in that position. It just feels like you're getting to that stage with him where nobody, no manager, has been able to work him out in an England shirt.

Roy Hodgson to Bristol City

It's a completely nonsensical decision because you're fine, aren't you? You're not getting relegated. To be sacking your manager to bring in Roy Hodgson is just baffling.

Senegal AFCON title controversy

The Senegalese Football Federation refuses to accept this as inevitable. Faced with what amounts to be the most blatant and unprecedented administrative robbery in the history of our sport.

England squad selection

You're kind of trying to work out what exactly you're gaining here. You're running through the starting 11 and thinking that there's at most maybe two or three who have a realistic chance of maybe starting the first game at the World Cup.

Thomas Tuchel's comments on Harry Maguire

I think it's an odd thing for a coach to say because unlike pub bores like us, you have to factor in your opposition when you're deciding who in your team plays. So just to say he is fifth choice regardless of who we play seems a weird thing to say.

Tottenham Hotspur management

Whoever does get approached really has the Spurs hierarchy over a barrel and they deserve to be over a barrel.

England squad withdrawals

I was a bit bemused by this giant squad he picked. It crossed my mind that maybe that was some sort of pre-arranged mass exodus of Arsenal players.

England tactical analysis

Tuchel has said that he sees Palmer as a number 10. And he's so big, Tuchel, on trying to play this Premier League style with a lot of pace and intensity. And one of the big things around that is having a lot of speed out wide and direct players.
