    Team v Hull

    I agree. We seem to all want to play in the centre of the park leaving full backs exposed...then it's chaos getting in each other's way. Having wingers wide would surely be more stable.

    Please explain: from where does this faith in Mauricio Pochettino arise?

    Personally I believe we need to back Poch. The bit that worries me is a system that is so complicated that professional players are struggling to get it. I,d understand if forwards are being asked to play as a centre back or centre backs up front. But what can be so complicated that they,ve not...

    Concern for Gazza..

    He was a hero for me as a child. On the pitch he was amongst the very greats. He was so unpredictable. I think it was a WC qualifier in 1990 against Yugoslavia where he won the game on his own. And a friendly against Northern Ireland where he scored a penalty from a step over. In the FA cup...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread -The SOS EDITION! 1st July 2014

    Although I don't post often I enjoy being amongst fellow spurs fans on here and like so many am desperate for news of future signings. So I've donated too

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread -The WTF? Edition 16th August 2013

    and I want the players to want to play for Tottenham...It's a bloody honour...to wear the shirt of those who've gone before. So count me in with the "oh well" brigade cos I'm backing the team not one player. We'll continue to improve

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The When Harry Met Shally Edition 13th August 2013

    I understand where you are coming from but football is both business and the team so I believe they are doing their best. We will compete and like spurs have always done both disappoint and be awesome...It is our nature because we can't play boring, safe football. For me it's what I love about...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The When Harry Met Shally Edition 13th August 2013

    Also we want our team to have a unity and if Bale chooses to be elsewhere then the team needs to move forwards without him. If he is not there to fall back on maybe some players will look to themselves to step up and win games. Like everyone on here I have high hopes and want to see us reach our...

    Team versus Crystal Palace

    This season I'd like to see us bring through some of our youngsters. If we are comfortably winning then this game might be an opportunity to bring on some of these.

    The Weekend ITK Discussion Thread 10/11 August 2013

    I agree I think we'd score more and be more solid in defence as everyone knows the system. This zonal marking just doesn't seem to work in practice for opposition attackers arriving late in the box.

    Tottenham Vs RCD Espanyol: Pre Season Match Thread

    I felt emotional seeing Kaboul and then Sandro take to the field. Until that point we looked vulnerable at the back to set pieces. I'm not convinced about zonal marking...Don't know about anyone else?

    Etienne Capoue - Done

    I agree plus we need to be able to adapt from a 4-3-3 if it's not working. It's a great system against some teams but could leave us exposed with such a high line. Lennon would be good if we need to try something else

    Etienne Capoue - Done

    and to be honest if he stopped off at a hypermarket and got Capoue to switch a few labels on the bottles heading for the directors boxes in the back...Everyone's a winner!

    but not until deadline day leaving opposition with no time for replacements.

    I'm not sure they will play the majority of games...we all hope so but at least 2 have a history of injuries! We need sufficient cover that we are not relying on players out of position.
