'Striker's pace and passion make him better option than Adebayor or Soldado'

MP doesn't have to play anyone. He just has to win games. When other managers (Pardew for example) make substitutions that turn the game around it's seen as genius. When our man does it, everyone just says he was wrong not to start the player(s) in the first place.
It's funny that the two Sky Sports analysts yesterday who were the most disparaging of Spurs performance were Souness and Redknapp, the ones with ties to the club and potential scores to be settled. I'm not saying their points weren't valid but there was a sense of them relishing the opportunity to have a go at "same old Spurs". It was left to an ex-Gooner in Niall Quinn to fight our corner and see rays of light. I personally would start Kane but Redknapp is clearly setting him up for a fall by making it sound like the only option. And if it doesn't work out you have a young striker whose confidence could be dented and the knives will be out again.
I thought playing two up top was encouraging - more of that at the Lane please - and Adebayor's record against Villa made it hard for him to be dropped. In the end he was poor and deserved to be subbed but I can see the manager's logic in starting him. And Soldado always looks better with a partner.
What I still don't understand is why Kaboul and Adebayor were made Captain and Vice-Captain which obviously makes dropping them harder than it needs to be...
I was surprised Souness didn't say 'Spurs biggest problem is they're playing like Liverpool' because we're both too slow going forward, cant defend and are toothless upfront.
I actually agreed with all 3 of them. They all made valid points especially about lack of urgency which, as Ive said on another thread, is what our young players are bringing to the party imo.
Yet he's vice captain and unstoppable! What is poch thinkingActually I agree with them we look far to soft, no closing down no fight, Verts does not look like he wants to be at spurs. Capoue needs to man up and get in peoples faces, Ade needs to start to impose himself like Drogba or Benteke. When sourness said "when Ade looks back on his career he will think what if" it's so true he has everything except fight and passion. I have heard his attitude is a huge problem at spurs he brings down moral when his not up for playing. He really should be a world class striker but he can't be arsed.
We're fucking shit, we got a lucky win against a shit shit villa team only when they were reduced to ten men.
And yet people on here still take offense when we're criticised and put it down to pundit bias?
Get real folks. We pay badly, struggle to score and create chances and we get stick. That's how it works.
Do you think Newcastle, villa, Burnley and Sunderland fans all thought they were being victimised while getting beat every week??

When 4 of your opening 12 words are swear words, that's when you know it's time to stop posting.
Have a little sit down and maybe a cup of tea.
It was Southampton.Redknapp is a bitter little moaner with an agenda. Most of the stuff he says is before the game has started with him basically giving us no chance. I can't remember the game it was but he was slagging Poch and the players off pre game and we came out and won it, he hated it. It was probably the Southampton game actually.
It was Southampton.
To be fair, having lost to wba, lolerpool, Newcastle and city as well as drawing with shitty Sunderland, he's got good cause to predict we'll struggle.
three of those losses were against rubbish teams at home and we didn't even score a goal.
