Billy's first home game for the new season was with Chelsea. Unfortunately, although Tottenham played well Diego Costa gave the win to the "blues" proving once more that his invisible inside the area. Although this defeat, everybody in Tottenham did not lose their faith. They had started well with two away wins and they were eager for the next game.

The game against Peterborough was a good chance for rotation. Luckily for Billy, Tottenham manage to win brave Peterborough in the penalty shoot out. The hero of the match was Tottenham's substitute goalkeeper Mirko Pigliacelli who manage to block two penalties and gave his team the win !

Next opponent will be Leeds which unfortunately for them relegated from Premier League the previous season.

Third away game and third away win for the Spurs! Things could have been very difficult though for Billy as Villa won a penalty in the first half but Lloris was there to save the day. Xydis cool finishing gave the win. The young Greek remains calm although the rumors that Real Madrid has set its eyes on him.

First home win for the Spurs who showed character when Watford manage to tie the game in the 68th minute but Huber was there to take advantage of Redmond's pin point cross and make Billy's heart to return to its place! The only thing that worries the Greek manager is that without Redmond the team looks unable to score since despite the fact that Leroy Sane is playing good, he is not creating many chances for the men upfront.
 
SOME GOOD NEWS FOR BILLY

​
In the end of the previous season, Billy was given an ultimatum from Tottenham's board. The team had to collect 10 points in the first five games of the new season or else he would be looking for a new job. Our hero, is starting to turn things around in White Hart Lane !

​A good start in the league and everybody is happy! But the effort must continues since things can slip very easy.

Young George Xydis was the key player in one more away win for the Spurs. Billy 's away rating remained flawless.

We qualified for the next round of the Capital Cup with another win in overtime. Billy was satisfied with the result but his attackers inefficiency remains an issue.

View attachment 186302
Now that's a serious blow. Our best striker is out for a quite long period of time. It is time for the youngsters to step forward.

Last year, Newcastle was one of the few teams that we managed to beat two times in the league. Now in our first encounter for the new season they got their revenge. First game without Xydis and things did not worked out well for Billy.

View attachment 186298
At least the board still keeps its faith to our hero (for the moment ?)

Billy wanted this win badly. Last season's, heavy defeat in the final match of the Premier League that kicked out Tottenham of the Europa League Qualification and created a lot of troubles to our hero, was not forgotten. Timing could not be perfect. They were lying in the bottom of the table without a win and we were doing quite good. Nevertheless they beat us again. Once more our attackers could finish their chances.

That's more like it! A good result even though the Red devils managed to get the tie in the last minute. This season things are not so easy for the big boys when they play against Billy.

With the game against Arsenal for the Premier to be only a few days away, Billy had no other choice but to proceed to an extensive rotation. Unfortunately they players that came into the team were not ready for this game.

A big result for the team today, taking into account that we were down to ten players from the 7th minute of the game! This time we managed to score a goal in the first chance we 've created !

Ok we lost this game but at least we 've put up a great fight. In the games against the big boys of Premier League the lack of experience from the players is more than obvious but every game is a valuable lesson for them. The become wiser and they have shown it so far. Last season these difficult games had disappointing results. This year we fight every game till the end.

View attachment 185784Our purpose this season is not to play attractive football but to earn as much points as we can. Each win is very important.

Xydis is back ladies and gentlemen ! His first appearance in the starting lineup after his injury was successful and combined with a goal. In the game against Arsenal were Tottenham was down to ten players early in the game, Billy decided to play Barkley as a shadow striker and the other attacker a deep lying forward and worked good. He tried again in the game against Liverpool and the team looked more solid in offence. Finally in this game his decision paid off !

View attachment 185786

So we returned to the sixth place and not so far away from the top.

Much appreciated my friend! The team is looking good right now. The tweaks I 've done in the tactic seem to work for the moment and I am very optimistic for the rest of the season.

Yeah all the teams are really close to each other. A few more wins and who knows !

The good thing about this season is that even when we cannot win we do not loose . Each points counts in this marathon and means a lot to the player's morale.

We are doing great ! We continue to stay close to our target for the sixth place and our attackers are finally starting to look comfortable in front of goals !

Another good win in view of the big encounter against Manchester City. Tottenham played very well and Billy should be very very happy. But ...

Okay and now who will play in the midfield against City ?

Before the game, Billy had to find replacements for his three key players that were injured. During the game he had to make tactical alternations due to the fact that his team was once down to ten players in a game against one of the big boys. However he did not loose his concentration and managed to inspire his players to grab an amazing win! We are now in 4th place and looking very very good !

Although he left Greece in order to evolve his career , Billy is always up dated with the status of the Greek Superleague. It is nice to see that his favorite team is ahead so far !


View attachment 185348View attachment 185358

Billy's decision to rotate the squad in view of the game against City which was just two days later (!!) backfired. The Spurs where behind with two goals early in the game. In order to avoid an unnecessary defeat he made the appropriate changes and at least Tottenham left from the field with one point in its bags.


View attachment 185347View attachment 185356A very close game this was. Unfortunately for the Spur's fans, citizens left from the New White Hart Lane as winners.


View attachment 185346View attachment 185355This should have been a winnable match but at least the team garbed one more point in the battle for European qualification. We must get back on track though.



View attachment 185345View attachment 185354Another chance for some rotation. Successful this time. It always nice when you see one of the youngsters of the team achieving its first goal in front of the home fans!



View attachment 185344View attachment 185353
The win in the FA Cup did not wake up the players. Everton was better team today and they deserved their win. Billy decided not to shout in his players after the end even though he was furious. Keeping a good morale in the dressing rooms was more vital right now.



View attachment 185343View attachment 185352
Yes !!!!!!!! Get in !! A great win against our big rivals and most important in their home! The biggest win for Billy since he took over Tottenham !

View attachment 185351
The FA Cup brought West Ham in Tottenham's way. It was not the time to deal with this game now. Billy had to keep his boys focused for the Premier League game. FA Cup could wait.



View attachment 185342View attachment 185350
Absolutely amazing! Tottenham played perfect today. A lot of credit were given to Billy after the game for the attractive football that the Spurs are playing lately. Finally the Greek manager is starting to win some respect among Tottenham's fans !

View attachment 185349

All the teams in front of us are still close and with a little a bit of luck, Billy can manage to bring Tottenham even to the next season champions league !

We took an early lead but they managed to turn things around very quickly. In the end the draw can be considered an fair result. The only thing that bothered Billy was that there would be a second game.

View attachment 184805View attachment 184804
Ante Coric scored an important goal as Tottenham managed to get away with the draw form Wattford's home and remained ahead in the battle for the sixth place.

Billy's boys overcame the obstacle of West Ham so easily that our hero was wondering in the end of the game why they had to go to a second game in order to move forward in the FA Cup.

A comfortable draw and a chance to move even forward here.

Last season the Spurs were struggling to win these so called "easy games". This season they win with style !

View attachment 184807View attachment 184799
If the team continues playing like this maybe Billy will have the chance to claim his first trophy as Tottenham coach!

And as a result from the team's recent form...

A favorable draw for Billy. If he and his boys won't take this game lightly there is no way Tottenham cannot proceed.

View attachment 184537View attachment 184542
We were so close on getting one more away tie but that goal in the 90th minute destroyed our hopes. Not only that, but Wattford won their game and we fell from 6th position. It is urgent to get back on wins.

Billy got the revenge he wanted from Southampton this time and with a big win. A lot of things have changed since last season where the Saints smashed him with an emphatic 6-1 loose and put him into big trouble. Our hero has regained the trust of the board and the Spurs are fighting their way to the 5th place.

View attachment 184535View attachment 184540
With the team down to 2-1 , Billy decided to put Redmond in the game even though he has just recovered from a small injury that had kept him 4 days out. His favorite winger gave two easy goal to Xydis and Tottenham managed to escape from Stoke's home with the win !

A comfortable win and we continue our course in the FA Cup!

Chelsea is going to be our rival in the battle for a place in the FA Cup final. Billy has beat them this year once but will he able to do it again ?

View attachment 183940View attachment 183947
We were really unlucky today. The gunners managed to beat us with two amazing direct free kicks from Sanchez and Depay. Billy managed to close all the gaps in his defense but the quality of those two brought the win to Arsenal.

View attachment 183939View attachment 183945
We got the lead, they made the comeback but we continued our fight and got the tie. Not a bad result for the Spurs. The team showed character one more time this season.

View attachment 183938View attachment 183943
Three very difficult games in a row for Billy but he managed it quite well. Even though we could have won today our hero was happy with this result in the end of the day.

We are still within our target for this year with not many games left for the end of this season Premier League.

View attachment 183927View attachment 183932
Billy choice to put Lambert as a substitute proved to be very wise since the young Englishman gave Spurs a vital win today! Perhaps he deserves more game time since Huber is not looking so well lately.
View attachment 183925View attachment 183930
Wow !! Lambert was amazing today!! Billy gave him a chance to start in the first eleven and he took advantage of it completely! A good win and a very attractive football from the Spurs!

View attachment 183922View attachment 183929
We really should have won today. Chelsea, which is on the fifth place lost its game (maybe the coach decided to rotate the squad in view of our clash for the FA Cup) and a great chance to go ahead of them in the league table went by. At least we got one point.

What a game and what a win !!! Billy was delighted to see Redmond opening the score for the Spurs early in the game but Chelsea had two quick replies and got the lead. Billy's boys did not give up and brought the game even. In the second half, our hero called Huber close to him. "This is your chance to shine kid ! I know you had your ups and downs lately but I believe in you! Get in there and bring us the win". The Belgian did exactly that. He scored two great goals and gave an assist to Sane who completed Tottenham triumph !!!! We are in the final !

View attachment 183918
It won't be easy but if we play like today we can do it !​
 
It was down to the last four games of the season. Three for the Premier and the big final against City for the FA Cup. Billy had a chance to achieve not only Europe Qualification (his first and primary target for this season) but to claim a trophie as well! With Tottenham recent form everything could happen !

View attachment 183247View attachment 183254
A good solid win and we keep on our fight for the fifth place. We are very close.

View attachment 183252
Redmond has been red hot throughout this season. A great transfer for the Spurs. He was not cheap to buy but he has been a massive impact in the team's attacking play providing assists !

View attachment 183251
Young Xydis deserve it that ! He has been truly unstoppable and if he had not had this injury that kept him out for seven weeks, the Spurs could have easily been higher in the league table.

View attachment 183250
In the end of the previous season, Billy was on the verge of being sacked. Luckily for them , Tottenham's board decided to give him a chance. Our hero paid them back and things are looking very good for him in the White Hart Lane!

View attachment 183247View attachment 183249
The fifth place is going to be sealed in the last game. The Spurs and Chelsea share the odds but if Billy and his boys stay focused they can do it!
