Jose Mourinho drums support for under-fire Steven Bergwijn
Tottenham Hotspur coach Jose Mourinho said the team are supporting Dutchman Steven Bergwijn who missed two clear chances in Wednesday’s top-of-the-table clash at Liverpool and received criticism on social media after the 2-1 defeat. “I don’t know what I can do apart from the player knowing in this club we are all together,” Mourinho told a news conference ahead of Sunday’s game at home to Leicester City. “We lose, we win and we draw all together. So he has us and we have him. In here we don’t feel any individual criticism, we never feel it that way, it is always about us, so no problem. “He’s one of my boys, period. There is no point to boo, to individualise. He’s a good professional, he works hard for the team, he gives everything he can.” Second-placed Spurs slipped three points behind L...

Rivaldo reacts to Mourinho’s post-match comments after Spurs’ defeat
Tottenham Hotspur suffered their second Premier League defeat of the 2020-21 campaign at the hands of Liverpool at Anfield last night, with a late Roberto Firmino goal handing the North Londoners a 2-1 loss. Mohamed Salah put the defending champions ahead 26 minutes into the game thanks to a wicked deflection off Eric Dier, but Spurs hit back seven minutes later through Son Heung-min. While the visitors only enjoyed 24% of the possession and had lesser attempted shots (eight) and shots on targets (two) compared to Liverpool, they had more big chances to win the game in the second half. However, Steven Bergwijn could only fire wide and later hit the post when through on goal twice, while Harry Kane headed over from point-blank range during a corner. Tottenham were made to pay for those miss...

Report: Spurs can sign 25-goal striker for £32m next month
According to Sport Bild (via Bulinews), Wolfsburg are willing to let striker Wout Weghorst leave next month if they get between £32 million and £36 million for his signature. The Dutchman was linked with Spurs during the summer transfer window, but an agreement couldn’t be reached. Bild claims they could return for Weghorst when the winter transfer window opens in January, and it will be interesting to see whether that happens. Tottenham brought in Carlos Vinicius as cover for Harry Kane during the summer transfer window, and while the Benfica loanee has struggled for playing minutes in the Premier League, he has featured heavily in their Europa League campaign, scoring thrice and assisting thrice in five games. The 25-year-old has played just 12 minutes in the English top-flight but will ...

Both the academy players produced their best performances till date to take Liverpool to the top of the Premier League, leaving Klopp short of adjectives.

Liverpool manager claims one Spurs player is a ‘threat’…Mourinho may not pick him
Jurgen Klopp has showered praise on a number of Tottenham Hotspur players ahead of the Premier League clash at Anfield on Wednesday. The Liverpool boss has hailed Spurs as a ‘proper football side’, and has praised the likes of Harry Kane, Son Heung-Min and Steven Bergwijn.

The German boss has also mentioned Gareth Bale as a potential threat for the Reds. Speaking at his Liverpool press conference, he said: “Gareth Bale I think he was ill the last game? If he’s fit again then he’s another threat. They’re doing well.” The Welshman unlikely to feature Bale made an emotional return to Spurs from Real Madrid on loan during t...
Hojbjerg reveals the remarkable quality of Tottenham’s attacking duo that has impressed him
Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has lavished praise on the club’s attacking duo Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son. Both players have been in red hot form this season and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg feels that the two attackers have set their egos aside for the benefit of the team and it is evident in their performances so far. Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane have formed a telepathic understanding in attack and Tottenham have benefited immensely from that. The London club have arguably the best attacking duo in the Premier League right now and their numbers speak for themselves. Harry Kane has managed to create eight goals for Heung-Min Son this season and the South Korean has created four goals for the England international. Both players have been scoring freely and it will be interesting to ...
Predicted Liverpool starting XI: Klopp to make just one change; 23 y/o to start

‘Tremendous movement’: Popular pundit urges Everton to sign 24 y/o ‘good finisher’
Former Liverpool midfielder turned popular football pundit Danny Murphy has suggested that Everton should look to sign Dele Alli from Tottenham Hotspur. The 24-year-old has dropped down the pecking order at Spurs under Jose Mourinho, and he has managed only one Premier League start all season. The England international only made his third Premier League appearance this season last week when he came on as a substitute in the 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. From being a superstar at the club, Alli has become a bit-part player at Spurs, and he has even struggled to manage regular appearances in the Europa League as well. Mourinho is hardly convinced with him, and there are suggestions that Spurs could allow him to leave the club in January on loan. Alli needs to play regular...
