I will just point out the Doctors have asked for a maximum of £800m, that's for 71,000 doctors who run all the hospitals.
That's 'too expensive'.
But when the Water Companies asked for £5bn, they were given it.

Without improving the pace of pass and move all teams struggle. We were very slow and got punished. We are improving and so are the results. We have some super skills and young talent. It won't be consistent.
The Fulham v Crystal Palace game was ferocious. We will see if we cope vs Forest

I understand changing formations based on opponents. Bergvall & Gray were good against PSG due to the open play. That’s not Fulham. They pack the box, so the same players won’t be as effective. The most creative & technical players should’ve started, i.e. Xavi & Odobert, not Richie & Bergvall.

There is no substitute for time to get players and formations coming together. And they are young. And injuries and a game every 3 days or so.

I could be delusional, but to utilize Spurs' best players, I envision a 3-5-2 that eliminates the 6 position where Spurs are weaker & fills with a a 3rd CB. With the ball Cuti would move forward more. If not a 6, buying a LCB in Jan would facilitate VdV to play more LWB. Thoughts? #COYS

The more this preferred 11 play together, the tighter their play will become. I would still like to see more minutes given to Tel at LW as he could make that position his own. With VdV suspended now for his soft yellow, do Spurs look for a LB/LCB hybrid before Dortmund on 1/20? #COYS
