The View From The Lane: The Athletic FC's Spurs show

The Athletic's Jack Pitt-Brooke and James Maw reflect on Spurs' defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.

They discuss the over-reliance on moments of brilliance from the front three, Jose's criticism of his players, and the stunning Rabona from Erik Lamela.

The Athletic's Jack Pitt-Brooke and James Maw look back on the win over Palace and another impressive display from both Harry Kane and Gareth Bale. 

They look at the impact Bale has had on this attack in recent weeks, after establishing himself as a regular goal scorer.

Was Kane's wonder-goal the best finish by a Spurs player this season? 

There's also praise for Lucas Moura, and a look ahead to the games against Zagreb and Arsenal.

The Athletic's Jack Pitt-Brooke and James Maw reflect on a good weekend for Spurs. Are things starting to turn around? Or was it just Burnley at home?

They also reflect on Gareth Bale's best performance in a Spurs shirt in 8 years. Everyone is saying Bale is back, but how close is he to the player who left the club in 2013?

They also debate whether Dele should be starting behind Harry Kane as the number 10. And they pick a side in the Redknapp v Keane row on Sky Sports.

The Athletic's Jack Pitt-Brooke and James Maw reflect on another defeat for Spurs, this time at the hands of West Ham. 

They ask if there is anyone else who should shoulder the blame being pointed in Mourinho's direction. Why is it so hard to find a consistent centre-half pairing? And is Gareth Bale starting to regain some form?

Plus, they're joined by colleague Dom Fifield, who draws comparisons between Mourinho's downfall at Chelsea in 2015, and the current season at Spurs.

The Athletic's Jack Pitt-Brooke and James Maw debate whether Jose Mourinho's reign at Spurs is coming to and end, after this weekend's defeat to Manchester City.

If results continue to go this way, could Spurs sack Jose before the end of the season? Or is it more likely that Daniel Levy decides to stick with him into next season? And if he is to stay, what does he need to achieve to keep his job?

Plus, we get the lowdown on the team's Europa League opponents.

The Athletic's Jack Pitt-Brooke and James Maw discuss whether everything is going to be just fine, after Spurs' victory over West Brom.

Can the win over the relegation candidates really be considered a return to form? Just how over-reliant are this ream on Harry Kane? And what sort of player is 2021 Lamela?

Jack and James also debate what would have been different if Spurs had won the Champions League in 2019?
