Time to stop the rot!
Despite the arrival of Thomas Frank, last week's disgraceful defeat at the other end of Seven Sisters Road means that Spurs have now taken 37 points from their last 38 games in the Premier League (won ten, lost 21). The trend to show relegation form despite the change of coach continues. It's time to stop the rot!
We fans so desperately need to see a home win, not experienced in the league since the opening day of the season. Our form in London derbies is also awful having now lost 14 of our last 23 such games in the Premier League. Our last win over Fulham was over two years ago in October 2023. Marco Silva's team won't make it easy, and despite their lowly league position, a win would put them among the gathering of teams with similar point totals.
Fulham's recent league form has not been good, but they only lost 1-0 to Arsenal. Silva was frustrated at his team's lack of transfer activity in summer and their one major signing was that of Kevin, a forward from Shakhtar Donetsk. Kevin cost £34.5 million and was described as "a young and versatile talent with exceptional pace and we believe he can be an important addition". He's made three league starts and three substitute appearances so far.
Fulham have made it to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals by beating lower league opposition, but now, like us, they face a trip to Newcastle. We'll be back at St. James' Park on Tuesday night in a busy pre-Christmas schedule.
Marco Silva confirmed last week that forward Rodrigo Muniz will be out until around February with a thigh injury. The Brazilian underwent surgery two weeks ago. Muniz has been a regular goalscorer over the last two years. Fulham have also been missing their attack-minded left back Antonee Robinson since late September.
Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham have shared 24 different players over the 33 years of the Premier League since its inaugural season in 1992-93.
Of those 24, only one made over 100 Premier League appearance for both Spurs and Fulham: former Wales winger Simon Davies joined Spurs from Peterborough United, making his debut in the top flight for them in April 2000. After 121 top-flight games for Spurs, he joined Everton before spending six seasons at Fulham to finish off his career, making 137 appearances for the Cottagers.
Joao Palhinha made the most tackles in each of the two seasons he was with Fulham. He won more than anyone else in the first and came second on the list in season two. Before last weekend's games, Palhinha was again the No 1 ranked player for tackles made and won.
Ryan Sessegnon is another player who has recently played for both sides and last week made his 100th Premier League appearance. 38 of those were for Spurs for whom he scored two league goals, plus his first Spurs goal in the Champions League away to Bayern Munich in 2019.
Ryan has scored 2 league goals this season to add to the four he scored last season. One of those goals was against us in the 2-0 defeat at Craven Cottage in March. That was Marco Silva's 200th Premier League match, becoming the second Portuguese coach to reach this milestone after Jose Mourinho.
Last year's home game was played on the same Matchday 13 weekend, and was described by Spurs Odyssey reporter Declan Mulcahy as "A dull draw on a dreary day". That game followed a 2-2 home draw in the Europa League against Roma, and an exciting 4-0 away win against Manchester City. Brennan Johnson scored in all three games and will be hoping for a chance tomorrow night (8pm - SKY). Johnson had opened the scoring after 54 minutes, but Tom Cairney levelled the scores 13 minutes later. Cairney was sent off late in the game for a dangerous tackle on the much-missed Deki Kulusevski. 34-year-old Cairney has made just one league start this season and 6 substitute appearances.
We certainly do not want a draw off any nature in this game. Home fans are desperate to see us win a home league game and for the team to climb back into the top four reckoning.
Romero is suspended following his fifth booking last Sunday. Kevin Danso will no doubt step in. Radu Dragusin is not yet match fit. With the addition of Matthys Tel, who as not registered for Champions League football, the squad will otherwise be the same as for Wednesday night in Paris. Thomas Frank has said that Kolo Muani is fit, as he demonstrated against his home club, scoring his first two Spurs goals.
It's difficult to predict any Thomas Frank Spurs team, with so many changes from match to match. As for tomorrow's score, I'll go for a 3-1 home win. Fingers crossed!
Did you know? (1) - Both Terry Dyson and Cliff Jones, who were part of the Spurs 1960-61 Double squad, subsequently had short spells with Fulham after leaving Spurs.
Did you know? (2) - Luka Modric's last competitive game for Spurs was in the final game of the 2011-12 season when we won 2-0 and finished fourth. Unfortunately, we missed out on what should have been a second Champions League season because Chelsea beat Bayern Munich on penalties and took our place. Luka went to Real Madrid for 13 trophy-winning seasons, and at the age of 40 is currently playing for Milan!
Stuart Attwell is our match referee this week. This is his 24th Spurs game, but he first refereed us in January 2010. Last season the only time we saw him in the middle was for our league cup semi-final first leg against Liverpool, which we won. Mr Attwell has had charge of 8 Premier League games this season, plus a Europa Conference League game in Slovakia.
