Got to admire Poch for sticking to the same thing game after game after game after game.

AVB used to be good at that.








Just saying like.

Please stop talking rubbish I am not a USUAL SUSPECT !!!!! Unfortunately the people who have shared my view about managers and players have probably been right most of the time...

I am giving my opinion in a free country and from the very beginning in I did not see what Poch had done to deserve the Spurs job, same with Sherwood and to a lesser extent AVB there is a pattern with Levi`s appointments lately.

The job should have gone to Rafa Benitez

Little Levy went for the cheap option as usual

When he runs he reminds me of a fish flapping around out of water.

Yeah, it's awkward, but at least he tries. He's not a quick player, but by God he fuckin runs his hardest. Why he's not getting the call over any of our AM's at the moment is skullfucking me with baffle. Chadli and Eriksen in particular don't even deserve sub appearances on recent form and the amount of desire they've put into recent matches.

Rose MoM. Playing with great integrity. Props to him as cannot say that about most of the others.

Liked the look of Yedlin and he was well up for bombing forward.

Was so positive after Arsenal.

Now after Pochettino's ridiculous perseverance with Chadli and Townsend I'm really doubting his sanity.

How can't he see that they don't work for the way he tries to play football is utterly baffling!

The thing is though, Eriksen has been playing as badly as them (well, maybe not quite as bad as Chadli...) and Kane is trying too hard and has had the inevitable comedown in performances, even if he is still netting goals.

When our form was basically built around these two its no surprise the wheels are somewhat falling off, no matter who else is selected.

Loving the posts along the lines of:

"we are fucking shit, all our players are shit, pochettino is shit, we've been shit for weeks, can't defend for shit, can't attack for shit..

But Sherwood is a genius tactical mastermind for beating us"

People are focusing way to much on Pochettino. The players are the ones playing on the pitch you know, everyone but Rose and Vorm were utter fucking wank.

not to split hairs but what exactly did Vorm do that was so exceptional?

same as last week, for me its all on poch, crap lineup, repeat of last weeks performance, players out of form, out of position list goes on, crap reactions to the game, lack of subs.
It can't be all on him, he is in charge and ultimately he is the one who will get the bullet if we continue to perform like this but he isn't a player on the pitch doing shit passes and not pressing etc, he isn't telling them to do that, the players are not following his instructions. Just the same as what the players did under AVB.

Fair play to Tim Sherwood, doing a good job with Villa.
Another day to forget for us, inept in defence, non existent in mid field and toothless in attack. Typical Tottenham.

Why no changes! That is what I am asking as game after game....we have seen the same level of performances. With no goals from Kane and Eriksen we just stop winning and the refusal to change things around except when he is forced to is really getting to me. I hope there is a really good reason for him to stick with the same attacking midfield 3 that clearly isn't pressing or creating sufficiently for us to compete. Frustrating end to the season.
