Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou will be hoping his side put in a good performance against Newcastle in front of new England manager Thomas Tuchel.
-TIMESTAMPS-
00:00 - Intro.
00:13 - Recovery: We gave the guys a couple of days off.
00:43 - Has it helped anyone?: No. Udogie out for six weeks. Bentancur suspended and we've had an illness bug.
01:17 - Lose more to illness?: Not sure.
01:26 - set backs: Moore and Richarlison next, then Romero and Van de Ven.
01:55 - Imminent arrivals?: The clubs working hard and there's no secret we need to bolster.
03:15 - Newcastle, making home a fortress: There's context. Newcastle will be a good side and we always have good games against them. It's a good challenge for us.
04:13 - Tuchel attending: Maybe Thomas just wants to see a good game. Hopefully we'll put on a good show.
04:47 - Solanke: He's been outstanding for us. He's helping the team with all aspects of our football. He's carrying that position on his own.
06:02 - Balance between quick fixes and long term picture: It's a bit of both, they still need to fit into what we're creating.
06:33 - Yang Min-hyeok: He's very young. Helps that Sonny is here to help him settle. No real plan.
07:31 - Hamstring injuries: There's also an individual thing involved. The fixtures, how we play. The challenge is the re-injuries. We've been hit extreme.
08:42 - Injuries could change style?: There's always opportunity for change. The one constant is I'm not going to for my beliefs. I guess it comes down to how much you believe in it.
09:24 - Bigger squad?: Some of it is circumstances. It's life, I know people want a head on a stick but it's life.
10:33 - Vicario: On schedule. When it's a fracture there's a set schedule but he's still on the same timeline.
11:10 - Reguilon: He's played last week, at the moment we have a lot of defenders out. Regi will get more opportunities.
11:47 - Busier transfer window: I just need a positive one. We'll get players back and they'll stay back. We need to be disciplined.
12:36 - Sense of desperation: That's the tricky bit of January. Most clubs don't plan for reinforcements.
13:33 - 2024: No because you'll dismiss the bad stuff. People don't recognise it as anything but we finished 5th. We finished 8th the year before. It was a positive season.
14:46 - Clear week help for energy?: It helps but it won't totally refuel the tank. We're still dealing with a small number of players.
15:50 - Selection wise for league cup?: Not really I haven't got much to select from. We need to start picking up points.
16:31 - Newcastle good example?: I spoke about this last year that they had a ridiculous injury record. Let's not take that narrative.
