An honour to be nominated for Digital Sports Publisher, as well as Specialist Sports Publisher and two individual nominations for Data Journalist for @alitweedale.bsky.social & @davidsegar.bsky.social. We're just checking with the Opta supercomputer about our projected chances of winning.

(I may be biased etc but) The biggest story from all of the @sportsjournalists.co.uk nominations today is @optaanalyst.optajoe.com mixing it with these massive names in the Digital Sports Publisher category - one of the "two biggest prizes" on the night according to the SJA.

Postecoglou has made plenty of curious choices as Spurs manager but the decisions tonight to rest Kulusevski and then bring him on up front rather than in either of his best two positions were really, really odd.

🤕 High numbers of hamstring injuries 💨Top of the PL for sprints 🫸 Top of the PL for pressures in the final third 🏃 Top of the PL for off-ball runs How avoidable was Spurs' injury crisis, and is this really the end of it? ✍️ @alitweedale.bsky.social theanalyst.com/2025/02/spur...

Spurs last came from behind to win a match 24 games ago, on 3 November. That game was against Aston Villa, but it was also a very different Spurs team.

Ola Aina has made three goal-line clearances this season - two in one-goal Forest wins and one in the draw with Liverpool, earning five points. I spoke to set-piece coach Andy Parslow about whether Forest would be content with Aina playing such an important role. theanalyst.com/eu/2025/01/o...

Home wins in the Premier League are rarer this season than ever before... aside from the COVID-affected 2020-21 season, when fans weren't allowed in stadiums. Why are we seeing few home wins in 2024-25? ✍️ @alitweedale.bsky.social theanalyst.com/2025/01/prem...

Tottenham keep on losing while also appearing not to be a million miles away from being, well, good. How bad are they really, and how long can the hope of a trophy keep Ange Postecoglou safe from the sack? Piece for @optaanalyst.optajoe.com 👇

- 40% possession - 49 long balls, their highest in a game in any competition this season - a rare clean sheet with a decimated squad Ange Postecoglou deserves praise for how Spurs beat Liverpool this week. theanalyst.com/2025/01/tott...

Last night was only the fourth 1-0 win from 71 games under Postecoglou. They played more long balls vs Liverpool than they have in any other game this season, and two of them led to the disallowed goal and the winner. Does this win show Ange is willing to adapt? theanalyst.com/2025/01/tott...

A very good shot-stopper, very good with his feet, but possibly weak at corners... do Spurs look for a very specific type of goalkeeper?

The lowest position that the highest-scoring team in a Premier League season has ever finished is fourth (Blackburn 92-93 and City 15-16). Tottenham are currently the top scorers in 2024-25. They are 11th.

Spurs keep getting themselves into trouble rushing to get the ball back into play. They are the quickest in the PL when it comes to restarts. And they barely take any longer to do so when they are leading. Ange won't change, but is his intensity hurting Spurs? theanalyst.com/2024/12/tott...
