It's in the itk 2 different bits
1) bust up between Kane and Ade and mo po backed Kane against Ade, Lennon, kaboul.
2) levy backed MoPo and told players shape up or ship out which Lennon decided to train harder and try harder.
I don't think Chadli deserves to be dropped going forward just because of that first half. We are winning today, but we just don't have many in this squad who can score goals like he can. 6 league goals in something like 11 starts as a LWF is a hell of a return.
Well played Kane. Well played Lennon and fucking, fucking well finished Soldado.
The crowd when Soldado scores. Madness.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, speaking to Sky Sports: "Today I showed my emotion, I was happy because I know our players suffer a lot and our supporters too. It was a good chance to give this present of three points to our fans. It is important to enjoy this feeling with the team.
"We need to keep this mentality and try to show the same in the next game. Always you need the time to set your philosophy but today we are very pleased with the three points."
"It shows we have character and that we are brave. Because it was difficult in the beginning, the first shot they score, but we played very aggressive during our game and started to show our style. We need to be aggressive with and without the ball and if we play with this intensity we can win with our style and develop. Today is a good example of what we want in our future."
We should try to build Soldado's confidence up as much as possible, and that excludes dropping him imo. On the other hand, we really need Kane to spice up the attack. Then again, Chadli is the perfect player to nick a goal in a game like this. I'm glad I'm not Poch..
We probably wont get anything at Chelsea. realistically.
I would be tempted to rest Kane and couple of others and bring on the dipsticks. With something to prove and a raised bar they might just pull something off as is often the case with our mate ade.
and if they dont. fuck em. point proved

Pink is usually very reserved so I don't think that's a fair accusation to throw. There's a lot of people that can't wait to get their dick out in the match day thread over their own opinions and I don't think Pink is one of them tbf.
So EY credit to you for admitting your error in the matchday thread (where are all the others outing themselves?) but how will you take on board the criticism and how do you plan to implement change moving forward? Will you be so forthright in future match day threads or will you look to take a step back and wait to see how things pan out in future?
Don't mind but this is a message board and it's my pet peeve people who pull up PRE match observations to use as some means of someone look a tit.
I already off my back held my hands up and I gladly ate humble pie.
If this trend continued no-one would bother with pre-match debates and it'd be full of unambiguous, fence-sitting statements.
