Agree on both points. We should go all out for the rest of the season, and it is a worry that this is probably Pochettino's idea of our best team.

Unfortunately that team has shown that they're bottle jobs that roll over when the pressure is on. We'll be lucky to finish 6th.

I think that's OTT, @Spurger King.

Just looked and their line up, it's pretty attacking actually. Ulloa, Nugent, Vardy and Schlupp are playing. Not what I expected and may suit us.

He adds more to the team than Townsend and that is a fact.

A pot plant adds more to the team than Townsend. At least the ball might accidentally reflect off of it and into the path of a player who knows what they're doing.

Well Poch has a reputation for being stubborn and not doing much rotation, and I think this squad selection proves it.

TBF, I'm not sure any of the alternatives for the first team are crying out to start - I'd prefer a change in formation more - but I'd have expected more change on the bench just to manage the squad, with the likes of Stambouli and Fazio included for example

I think he should be going balls out to win every game, the mentality should be we're gonna do everything possible to finish 4th.

Currently it seems he feels his strongest team is the one we're seeing...that's a worry for a lot of fans whether you want experimentation or not.

Do you think one of Utd, Arsenal or Liverpool will lose three game out of their last nine for us to nick 4th place from them? Sorry but this is an end of season kick about and he could have played kids or some of the fringe players. The current 1st team is already thinking of the beach

I agree that he's been a very bad buy and I know you've been shouting about Townsend's ability for about six years now, but I would have Lamela in the side ahead of him.

I predict a brace for him today and an assist.

Good point.

I'd like to remind you all that our away shirts are now retailing at half price.

Thanks

Has the club run out of K,A,N and E yet?

Of course you can question his team selections- I did FFS.

But this typical overreaction is so annoying- you're starting to question whether he is the 'right man for the job'. Ok mate.

Read the god damn other part. It's a combination of factors. Poor team selection, not knowing how to change things, lack of rotation, 1 tactic. It's a combination of things. Im not saying he isnt the right manager. Im starting to question whether he is. BIG difference.

spursFanKC · Mar 21, 2015

does anyone know why Sambouli, Capoue or Fazio doe not make the squad? I know that Soldado is injoured

faze_coys · Mar 21, 2015

Im quite worried, does poch actually think this is our best team?

Now it's Spursonal · Mar 21, 2015

By putting on a Pochettino biased hat I can pretty much find a reason for every player playing other than Townsend.

You've been at the ayahuasca again.

This what I really don't get: how can you want to play such an intensive, energy-sapping style and NOT get the need for rotation? Our fitness levels will only take us so far.

I can't believe all of the negative sh1t on here today! 25 minutes before kick off. WE ARE GOING WIN and WIN BIG. Get behind the team ffs. Forget last week it's gone. COYS

As of last night, it hadn't. Cos that's what I went with.

Jesus wept people!

The game hasn't even started yet and you're in full melt down mode.

We are going to hunt those foxes down like Prince Harry on speed. I predict a 4-0 rout. Just relax your chops and enjoy the game.

Those are all pretty much the same thing.

I don't think it's personal. It's just clear he hasn't got the physique for the premier league.

He may be able to spot the occasional through pass but he is constantly shoved off the ball and loses possesion. I have been one of his biggest cheerleaders but let's face it. He has been dreadful and doesn't warrant a starting place.

What games have you been watching?
The guy presses tackles and tracks his man. Something Townsend and Chadli don't do.

That's exactly what he accused you of doing. NO difference.
