What will our Sunday morning footballers produce today
With Spurs continued poor mental approach to the fore right now it makes sense to revisit a series written in April and see if the general points made in the 12 part series have been addressed so we'll begin that after the game.
Clearly overall they haven't when you look at the Newcastle game and the start of the second-half. The vital mental preparation to play, that all top quality sportsmen and women undertake, is still not a part of some Tottenham players routine. Why not, it's a basic requirement at any level.
How many times have you been standing having a cosy chat with a team-mate as the opposition have kicked off? I don't you have ever done it, I expect you have always been ready. At a low level you are mentally prepared yourself, motivated yourself, for a professional sportsman there is a far greater degree of mental preparation they should be doing so why are Sunday morning footballers prepared for the start of a game where Tottenham players aren't?
On a Sunday morning you don't want to let down your team-mates, that doesn't even seem to be an issue for half of our players.
Match Preview: Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur
All eyes will be on Spurs players before the kick-off and before the second-half starts but surely they are not going to look as casual as they looked last week, if they do we have a serious problem.
Are we going to see a Spurs team unable to deal with pressure, a team who want to do just enough to win or a clinical team who want to crush the opposition. Are we going to see a team with heart, desire and determination or a bunch of fancy dans expecting a few twinkle toes touches to be enough to win.
