    Yep absolutely terrible since Harry left since then our transfer market activity and tactics have been shocking.

    -Never replaced Modric *Cough* Moutinho *Cough*
    -Selling Van Der Vaart
    -Changing our style to a hoofball team.
    -Playing stupid high line with players who can't defend ie Rose/Kaboul
    -Kaboul is finished the fact he is captain is an embarrassment to the club.

    We sold Bale and replaced it with garbage.
    90 bloody million we could have bought Baines,a world class winger,playmaker and CB for that price.

    We are essentially playing a 4-2-3-1 with 3 CAMS we have no width and don't have the skill to break teams down

    Just looking at how well Holtby is doing at Hamburg and even Siggurdson at Swansea sums us up we are the laughing stock of the league now.

    Bloody joke we should have started with Soldado and Kane upfront regardless whether Ade scored or not we created nothing. Nobody has the heart for the shirt.

    We're just a upper mid-table club for the next 10 years.

    Soldado should have started, he played well last Saturday and linked up well, Ade offers nothing to the three playing off him.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,395 ✭✭✭Hatch99


    But is it a surprise lads? We were stuffed last week despite 1 or 2 good performances. Stuffed by liverpool, beaten by west brom. We have been shaky at the back all season, and don't have a decent center forward. And as someone said, we have no real leader, despite Kabouls best efforts.

    1 or 2 odd team selections too. But not gonna hammer the manager, he's only in the door. He didn't pick the players when we spent 100+ million

    New season, New manager, same old Tottenham

    Feel for those that went today

    They all deserve a refund

    No surprise sure we have been in decline for the last year since avb left. It's like there is no direction at the club, it's like Levy has gone ok we gave the cl a Cracking but it's not happening so we will just make do with a top ten finish from now on. It's sooooo frustrating supporting this club!!!

    Starting with one up front to a shyte Newcastle team at home is bad management.

    No but he has said he is very happy with the squad. Completely out of his depth- quarter of the season in and we see nothing that poch has brought to spurs

    No mate, been supporting since 89, but this team is up there as one of the most uninspiring I've seen


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,994 ✭✭✭KingdomYid


    Baldini's head should roll before the next transfer window, he cannot be in charge of recruiting for yet another window.

    Unfortunately I tend to agree here, I do not see any difference in style to the AVB days. It is very worrying.

    Sure he has no cv

    Saints are flying high without him and espanyol ?give me a break

    It's very likely that we will need a rescue begore end of the season like happened when Harry was given the job

    Yupp, what are the odds on Harry getting the boot at QPR and being our manager again by February haha. Worth a sneaky fiver?

    At the moment I can't see any improvement on last season. Actually I think we've regressed. Shouldn't be losing at home to Newcastle.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,910 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    The squad as a whole are weak, let's face it. We'll always be tagged as nearly men, Keane's quote summed us up perfectly.

    Vertonghen & Kaboul will never be a good enough CB pairing.
    Ade FÚCK OFF YOU CÚNT
    There's no leaders, no body was vocal, perfect example was Dier today. Shambolic typical shítty Spurs performance.

    Waiting in a half an hour queue in Stansted. Sick of spending hundreds of euro on an absolute pile of ****e. Heading to Everton and Burnley in the next couple of months and wondering if it'll be any different. Should be hammering Newcastle at home by 3 goals at least. Twice so far we've been walked over by a relegation team unless you want to count Sunderland and west ham, 4 teams if that's the case.

    Getting to the stage were it's not just the manager it's just the team itself. Every player playing today was better than newcastles starting 11 and as usual we **** it up.

    11 points after 9 games is a serious backwards move. That's not a dig at the team or manager but something has to change because it's bollox.

    COYS

    It's so similar to when Harry took over - we are the same soft Nancy boys as we were then

    The likes of poch / wenger( in his last few seasons) don't seem to understand the need for a few players who are full of grit / passion and desire . They don't seem to understand the need for balance and width either

    Harry saw this the second he joined and our success at that stage was in no small part to palacios and Scott Parker - this allowed our wingers to bomb forward

    We are busy falling over each other as we have no width , same as arsenal except they are much better

    Totally agree, Parker was that player ,even though we acquired him in his twilight years, like Davids. Those type of players are invaluable. Kieron Dyer spoke of a Parker team talk at half time on one to eleven. Brought the hairs up in the back of your neck.

    Seriously today was no suprise

    capoue is not that player, he wont have the drive of an english CM

    We are lost lads ,we really are. I thought that we did well against city but it appears now that city were actually on a very bad run ( cska / west ham) yet they still beat us easily enough in the end so it wasnt that we were good - its that city were very poor

    I fear for the rest of the season - when poch gets interviewed he just shrugs and says "this is football" - he never seems like he is going to go mad at the players when they play bad - he is like their buddy rather than the manager. He has no answers and seems to think that it will all be ok - i would say he is now one of the favourites to get the chop


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 473 ✭✭DildoFaggins


    Even though his legs are gone I still miss Scotty deeply.. passion,determination,heart,never die attitude...extremely underrated player.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,467 ✭✭✭mushykeogh


    On the train back to stanstead, spineless clueless performance. Zero creativity on the pitch and we need an entire back four. Dier, has nice touches but cant defend and has no pace.

    that must have been awful to attend :-)

    I think i might skip my trip over this season


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,432 ✭✭✭Charliebull


    God that must have been bad, I hope I am wrong but alarm bells wrang when pooch stood over a 4 year deal for rose


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,910 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    I really feel Pochettino "is the manager for us". At this point, I don't think I can take another appointment. I want this manager to have a proper crack at it, with backing. I'll gladly take the up's and downs for a few season's with this manager. Levy needs to show faith in him.

    I can't stomach another appointment either but we would have been better sticking with sherwood and waiting for the right man to come along

    We could appoint Guardiola. Won't make a difference, board need to back "A" manager. Even if we made the CL, we'd be made a holy show of.

    4 4 2
    Wingers who get to the corner flag and get the ball into the box
    Soldado actually in the box
    Runners from deep arriving late in the box
    **** off with the high line cause we don't have the defenders for it
    If poch realises these things soon he might still have a chance of being manager after Christmas. If not...........,
