Tottenham Hotspur Latest News for the 2021 – 2022 Football Season
- Mon, 25 Sep 2023 16:55:45 +0000: Refereeing controversies will not go away but Jenas should know better | Paul MacInnes - Tottenham Hotspur | The Guardian
BBC pundit’s criticism of Rob Jones was a mistake – though the handball rule continues to confuse fans and managers alike
Embarrassing. After another weekend of controversial VAR decisions, it would seem the only appropriate word. Yes, expectations are unduly high. Yes, everyone makes mistakes. But at the end of the day it’s not brain surgery: when Jermaine Jenas got his phone out to call the referee Rob Jones a “sh**house”, he should have taken a deep breath, counted to 10, then walked away.
Jenas, the BBC pundit and pre-season face of – you couldn’t write it – an Football Association campaign to promote respect for referees, has made himself look permanently stupid. Just another weekend in the Barclays, you might say. But Jenas’s error-strewn social media message (full text: “Complete sh**house off a referee! They’re all ruining the our game!”) is hardly atypical. People are losing their stuff at refereeing decisions on a weekly basis.

- Playing out from back almost cost Tottenham against Arsenal
- Van de Ven and Vicario insist squad fully back manager’s tactic
Micky van de Ven felt the collective flutter when Tottenham diced with creative disaster at the back in Sunday’s 2-2 draw at Arsenal. But the centre-half has made it clear that the players see the reward in Ange Postecoglou’s risk-taking style and it will be the only way they play under him.
The derby could have ended differently had Gabriel Jesus made it 2-0 in the 32nd minute. Spurs tried to build possession from the goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vicario, only for Jesus to rob James Maddison on the edge of the area, centrally placed. Jesus shot high – a source of deep regret for Mikel Arteta, who would see it as a turning point.

The Gunners remain unbeaten and already have injury problems, but the weaknesses which cost them last season appear evident again
The ball sat up for Kai Havertz at the edge of the box. Very briefly, the possibility loomed that he might be about to arrive. This was the perfect moment for him to cast off all the doubts. Smash this into the top corner, win the north London derby with a brilliant late winner, and in an instant his journey in fans’ affections from puzzlement to embrace would have been completed.
It was not an easy chance, far from it, but so much the better: nobody becomes a hero with a tap-in. But the ball bounced fractionally higher than he’d anticipated, he made contact with the outside of his boot and the shot flew harmlessly high and wide. Havertz chewed the collar of his shirt: he knew what that moment represented.

Spurs are making huge strides, Darwin Núñez has kicked on and Manchester United are a tactical mishmash
“We’re seeing steps probably quicker than anyone expected,” James Maddison said after an enterprising Spurs left Arsenal with a point. His manager, Ange Postecoglou, was less willing to talk about timelines but it is undeniable that few outsiders expected Tottenham to emerge from the derby unscathed. That they did so was a testament to their bravery, and especially that of Maddison: he was caught in possession glaringly for a chance Gabriel Jesus inexplicably skied, but kept showing up for the ball in difficult areas and finished with two assists. Tottenham looked raw at times, skittish at others, and lived on their nerves for spells, but never strayed from Postecoglou’s fluid, proactive philosophy. “He said today that that’s the way he wants to play,” Maddison said. “If we lose playing his way, that’s on him, his responsibility, and it gives you freedom to go and play as well.” Tottenham are at the start of what will, surely, be a fun and fruitful journey.

- ‘We pulled it back today and we’re still fighting to the end’
- Ange Postecoglou praises Son’s display at the Emirates
James Maddison said Tottenham’s 2-2 draw at Arsenal was evidence that the club are fast shedding their old “Spursy” tag under Ange Postecoglou. The playmaker was outstanding in the north London derby, setting up two equalisers for Son Heung-min to earn a deserved point, and declared talk of a soft centre is a thing of the past.
“Fans and neutrals talk about Tottenham, they often say ‘soft, weak, bottle it, Spursy, all that rubbish’,” he said, referring to a term deployed by rivals fans about their supposed propensity to flop when success is in sight. “I think the last couple of weeks shows we might be going in a slightly different direction.
