Things have gone from bad to worse for Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs have only won a single match since their demolition of Manchester City back in November, and fans must be wondering what sort of burnt offering sacrifice Ange Postecoglou made to the Football Gods to achieve that result, given the carnage since. Perhaps said Football Gods are a fan of hamstrings and knees?
They now take on Everton, in a similar freefall down the Premier League ladder, in a match that is key for both sides. While not exactly the fabled “relegation six-pointer” mentioned in the lede, Spurs are starting to get closer to that zone (with Everton well ensconced within it) and the news this week of more injuries to Yves Bissouma, Brennan Johnson, and perhaps most importantly, Dominic Solanke, means that for some, the threat of relegation starts to become more than just an offhand joke.
Spurs need to start winning some matches and fast. Could today be one of those?
COYS!

Match thread rules
The match thread rules are the same as always. To any visitors coming here for the first time, welcome! We’re glad you’re here! Wipe your feet, mind the gap, and be sure to check out the other pages at this outstanding site. While you’re here, though, we have a few rules and regulations:
Absolutely no links to illegal streams. They’re bad and they get us in trouble. Violators will be warned or banned.
We have rules against “relentless negativity.” Nobody likes a Negative Nancy. Don’t knee-jerk and post outlandish or hurtful things just because you’re frustrated.
Along those lines, outright abuse of players or match officials is also not allowed. It’s fine to say “wow, that was a really bad call,” but it’s NOT okay to direct copious amounts of abuse in the direction of said official over a call you did not like.
Treat other people in the match thread the way you would want someone else to treat your grandmother. Be nice. This is a community of fans, not an un-moderated message board.
NO SPIDERS!
Finally, while we don’t have a rule against profanity, please try and keep the naughty words in check. Also, language that is sexist, racist, transphobic, or homophobic in nature will be swiftly deleted and you will be immediately banned. This is an open, supportive community.
Have fun, and COYS!
