Well, talk about a massive backfire. Mickey is injured again and sounds like the same issue. Looks like 2-3 weeks but how long before it goes again.

This is becoming a serious issue, a race horse with bad hamstrings!!
We face the prospect of our Xmas fixtures with just Dragusin as our only fit CB. Not sure if we can recall Phillips in Jan, but I think we need to look at it.
Mickey injured again...

Personally I am looking forward to whoever steps in at CB to give their best, do a job for the team and bring home 3 points from Scotland. When the going gets tough.....half the fans on here start crying and sticking the knives in. Great fans
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes if course we all want Spurs to win in Glasgow. But this match has defeat written all over it. When have the team ever stood up when they need to?

step up? we are a club that operates on a fraction of the cost that you do, its Rangers that need to step up.

On fit CB and 2nd choice goalie to play six games in 17 days. It has disaster written all over it.
Not expecting any points in the league, and two cup losses wouldn't surprise me.
Club will be on its knees come the New Year if the injuries don't let up. No way will Ange survive. He's as good as gone.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sacking him isn't going to make all of the injuries suddenly go away.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agree, I would prefer to keep Ange. But if the results are as bad as I think they will be from now until the New Year, then his job would be untenable.

This simply is not sustainable the amount of injuries Spurs are getting. May as well just write the season off now.
Impossible to get any consistency with so many injuries to key players.
Going forward the club really need to look at who they purchase. Cannot keep buying injury prone players.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
is that just a case of unticking the injury prone box on the scouting reports? You think Spurs have actively went out and tried to sign injury prone players?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s about building a proper squad that allows rotation without a huge gulf in quality. Something that Daniel levy can’t quite comprehend. He thinks he is saving a few million but now we have lost half the squad and have a couple of kids to step in.
Not a serious football club.

agree but I havent known a club that ever went out to sign injury prone players. Saying that the club needs to stop signing injury prone players as if they were being targeted or wasnt a factor when looking at a player is just nonsense.

You talk such crap.
VDV had no injuries in the season before he joined us. He had a hamstring injury the season before (20/21)...so he's hardly injury prone.
Romero and Odobert similar, nothing to suggest being injury prone. Even Richarlison's record is OK, a handful of short layoffs before he joined spurs. 18 games missed over 4 seasons at EFC. 49 missed for Spurs since joining (2.3 years).
In the same breath you'll have a go at the management for not signing Neto, a man with truly injury-prone past.

Whilst this high intensity style of play doesn't help.....
The medical staff surely needs looking into as well....

My point is, if they could be regularly rotated, they wouldn’t be injury prone. It was obvious to everyone except the parasite that one first team player wasn’t enough over the last two windows. I think it will now cost Ange his job.

there is no set rule, sometimes its just luck, Iv seen squads play loads of games and pick u few injuries Iv seen them play less games and pick up loads.
The point I was addressing originally and always was, is this notion and idiotic theory of not signing injury prone players.
