So if we lost all 3 or got a couple of draws you’d be fine with that? If not who are you blaming Poch ? Players ? ENIC ?

A murder was committed today, who is to blame? There was a car accident, whose fault was it?
What's that? You don't have enough information so you can't blame anyone?

In your hypothetical game results, did the players underperform? Did Poch mess up all of his subs? Did ENIC veto a team solely consisting of U15s?

It doesn't matter whether it's over a fortnight or over 6 months. It's the same amount of points. It will bother me no more if we lose to them in a fortnight than if we lost to one in August, one in September and one in April. Neither scenario would make me question Poch.

As long as he keeps doing every single thing opposite to what @Bus-Conductor wants then I'm happy.

Failing in these 3 games back to back would obviously have a much bigger impact than the results spread out. Effectively if we don’t get at least a draw with Liverpool and 4 pts from other 2 games top 4 is over.

It will bother me, and more to the point, it will bother the entire media and maybe even some of the players. You always win some and lose some in football, that is life. But it is very rare for a top 4 aiming club to lose three in a row. And three decisive matches, too! Runs and streaks matter in football, and three losses in a row for Tottenham against any opposition is bad. It's unavoidable that it would lead to "questions".

Arsenal aim for the championship and have missed it for the last eleventeen years. The media hasn't got rid of Wenger.

Look, you're never going to convince me that not winning any of the next 3 games means we question our manager that's achieved two top 3 places on the bounce who now contends with two clubs spending half a billion pounds on transfers while also being the littlest hobo and not having a home ground. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs a lobotomy.

Makes no odds what so ever.

The time to judge will be the end of the season not over the next 3 matches.

In my view, end of next season. You cant question a manager that doesn't even have a home dressing room. The moment this season started was just a big countdown to the start of next with a load of visits to a shithole thrown in the middle.

Yeah, real shame to that they are not in the championship yet. :LOL::LOL:(y)

It's not really up to any one of us to decide though, lose all three and it will be carnage for while. That's just how football is these days, like it or not.

I meant judging this season won't fall on the next 3 matches, it falls on where we are come May, but yeah this is a transition season so expectations should be tempered a little, we all know they won't be though.

That makes you and @Eric_s possibly the only people in the world who want Sissoko to be captain of their football club then.

With our next 3 games being United Liverpool Arsenal. Every single combined xi will have more spurs players against all 3 of those teams. If we were to fail miserably would people start to question Poch? Not saying sacked but seriously question. Honestly interested to know peoples feelings.

As usual i will wait till the end of the season to judge whether it has been good or not. I will also go back and see what expectations were at the beginning of the season.
I remember a couple of years ago spurger predicting us to finish 10th then moaning like fuck when we finished 3rd.

Fucking hell, and I thought I was one of the harsh ones on here when it comes to impossibly high standards. Poch should be in charge next season whatever happens (disclaimer: barring some epic meltdown) from now till May.
