I think people are misunderstanding the Spurs squad situation as an injury crisis. Yes there are a lot of players out, but it’s not the number of players, it’s the specific players and the lack of depth behind them.

Even with players healthy, we would be bound to struggle without VdV and Maddison. Those two have been transformative signings in areas of weakness we’ve had for years.

Although the current CB situation is shambolic, us Spurs fans knew this could happen based on the status of the squad after the summer window.
