Jesus, we spent a LOT of money over the Summer strengthening a team which was already strong and Top 4 strong and we should be whipping teams like Fulham all day every day. There is absolutely no excuse for having just about beat Fulham, and I mean just about.

Yeah but starting two defensive midfielders with a box to box midfielder in the AM slot isn't exactly going to fucking rack up the goals is it

Massively important to get the 3 points. With Everton, Arse, Chelsea, City and Pool all winning we simply had to get a win. We're still only a couple of points of 3rd. We just need to get to January in touch and hopefully make 1 or 2 useful additions (forward and left back) and we've a chance.
League is unpredictable and anything still might happen, got to just enjoy getting victories even if there aren't as fun as days gone by. Utd didn't always play glorious football under Fergie. They had 2 shots on target in 99 CL final. No one talks about how crap they played that night do they?

Chiriches was worse than Dawson. He made two stupid fouls on their Greek guy when he was going nowhere. He was lucky not to bring on of their guys down just outside the box when he breezed past him and tackled him with the wrong foot. He left a simple cross from their right slip under his legs which thankfully Berbatov wasted. For the goal he moved to his right when there was no danger there and left Dejagah is acres of space behind him.
But hey he scored a great goal so he mustn't have been bad.
Cheers but I wouldn't bother trying.

Quite probably the most idiotic post I've read since the last page. Jesus

I think people are right to be sober about that win. Most of the chances we created were on the counter attack, or had an element of fortune.
Paulinho's one - Fulham player has shocking touch and we were well placed with three men up to break.
Defoe one on one - Long ball forward, against donkey Senderos. No skill required in move.
Lamela - Defoe outwits Senderos, does pick out Lamela, but again it was hardly much to the move.
Paulinho late in first half - Walker nicks ball high up pitch and crosses. Good pick out, woeful finish.
Its not as if we are consistently creating chances by playing through teams or opening them up, which ideally should be the case with this style of play. We aren't going to have lumbering centrebacks like Senderos to outpace every week. Performances have to get better.

I genuinely don't remember Vlad doing anything too stupid tonight. But maybe he did. I do remember Dawson losing possession for the goal though, and also being the reason Lloris had to pull off a great one handed save.

We rejuvenated them I'm sorry to say.
Ugly game but we desperately need that...like a fat man needs fried food.

I've had a think about your argument and you've changed my mind with your brilliant reasoning.
I watched it, we won 2-1 and were shite

It will all click someday soon and we're going to give someone a good thrashing. Mark my words!
Agreed. It's probably the same people that moan and actually boo substitutions without even considering the possibility that the off coming player could be injured!

I hear you - however they clearly weren't awful tonight (of course, the ONE night they play us)... They were going for broke from the get-go and played with callousness and spirited determinism from the sounds of it!

Putting aside the performance, it has to be said that AVB's away record with Spurs is incredible.
Difficult circumstances to be playing against Fulham, but we dug deep and got the win. There are definitely signs that things are moving in the right direction.
Having said that, if Verts is out injured and Naughton is played at LB, AVB might as well start filling out his JSA forms now.

If Paulinho had placed the ball into an empty net and Defoe placed his shot in the second half instead of blasting over (I left out the numerous other chances that we messed up) we'd all be saying how the team had finally clicked and AVB had got it right. More poor finishing and once again it is all AVB's fault.
Funny in these situations, at all clubs not just Spurs, it is always the manager and never the players. It's quick and easy but the players frequently get let off the hook and the manager gets fired.
