View attachment 38246A lot of games to cover this month, including 3 games against Chelsea! The first one came in the league on the 1st of January and it ended in a 3-3 draw. We were 2-0 up inside the first 10 minutes so it does feel a little disappointing to draw 3-3 by the end of 90 minutes but we'll just have to do with a point.

Second game of the month against Chelsea and this definitely was an important one in the Carabao Cup semi-final. I know, no one cares about this cup but it would still be nice to win it if we can! We lose the first leg 3-2 though and will have to get a better result at Wembley to hope of a cup final this season. Chelsea are a great side so it could be very tough.

We weren't filled with a whole lot of confidence going into this game against City and also the second leg against Chelsea. After losing the first leg, we were exhausted and just couldn't do anything at the Etihad against Manchester City. It's another defeat in the league which hopefully won't come back to bite us later in the season.

HAAAAARRY KAAANE, HE'S ONE OF OUR OWN!!! What a performance from the lad in front of 90,000 at Wembley! He scores an incredible 4 goals to give us a 4-2 win, 6-5 on aggregate and put us through to the Carabao Cup final where we'll play Liverpool! After losing 3-2 in the first leg, everything looked good as we were winning 2-0 but when they scored I thought that's it, they're going to go on and score even more now but we're the ones who ended up doing that and we get the win! Incredible.

In contract news, 3 players had theirs expiring at the end of the season hence the extensions. Vorm also left the club actually as he had been made other offers but decided to stay here as our backup goalkeeper. At 35 years old though, I don't see him being on the bench for very long. Vertonghen is another player who extends his contract and thank God, because he really is one of our best players at the club. As for Tanganga, he's a promising centre-back from the youth team who could come in handy once the older players in the side start to retire or when players eventually start to leave so it was good to extend his contract as well.

One player who we couldn't convince to stay here though was Mousa Dembélé. He's one of my favourites Spurs players in real life so it was really tough to see that he accepted an offer from China instead of a new offer from us but he'll be leaving at the end of the season. A real blow for us.

As if our midfielder situation couldn't get any worse, both Wanyama and Sissoko requested to leave and I just couldn't hold them here against their will, especially considering how dodgy the squad atmosphere has been lately. With Wanyama gone and Dembélé leaving at the end of the season, that'll leave us with Dier and Winks as two proper deep midfielders, with Alli and Oakley-Boothe potentially able to play there as well. This might be a much tougher challenge than I thought! One thing's for sure, with our youth facilities all maxed out, we could bring in some amazing talent through the ranks so that's exciting at least. Onomah and Glover both leave the club on loan until the end of the season as I look to get them to improve a little bit so they're ready for the Tottenham first team.

The league ended up going quite well this month! With a Carabao Cup final to play for, we also managed to stay in 4th which is fantastic. We're 3 points ahead of Liverpool in 5th and just 2 points behind 2nd and 3rd, so you could really say that we have a big chance of making it to the top 3 this season if we do well against Liverpool and Arsenal now as our last 2 huge teams to play against this season in the Premier League.

As if Mousa couldn't make me sad enough that he's leaving! He gets the Spurs player of the month for January after some great performances against Chelsea multiple times and just overall throughout the month. He's been one of our starting midfielders ever since Wanyama's departure alongside Dier and the partnership has worked out great, which is why it's so hard to think about next season and how we'll need to find a new partner for Dier.
