Craig Burley

So I'm not quite sure he has...

The managerial experience, to be honest with you, to come in, certainly he's an absolutely wonderful player, but things went south very quickly at Barcelona at the end, so I'm not quite sure that would be a good fit for Tottenham, to be honest.

Well, as you know, I don't know how long we've had La Liga now, three or four years.

I think longer, Greg.

But certainly since Hansi Flick has come in, we have talked about it religiously every weekend.

And Hansi Flick has been to press conferences even after bad performances and even after defeats.

and bad defending and said, no, this is what we're doing.

We just need to do it better.

Unfortunately, this season, yeah, they're winning the league because Real Madrid somehow are still in the title race.

They're winning the league.

They're still in the Champions League.

They're still in all these competitions.

But it's undeniable, defensively, they are worse than last year.

And they are taking more risks.

The high lines became higher.

It's now halfway line, high line.

As in today, in the first leg of the semi-final Copa del Rey, they were actually stood in the halfway line, trying to play offside with athletic players who were in their own half and can't be offside.

I mean, it was just bonkers.

So the fact that it was 4-0,

today after 45 minutes was some sort of amazing bemusement because it could have been six or seven but even i i feel even if it was six or seven with next game out uh for barcelona i still think we see the same thing i mean the basa fans have been a little bit in denial about well we're winning this and we won that so we'll just we'll just go on with it but i think ultimately
