Sorry buddy but i completely disagree with you. Ask yourself why they are passing back to the keeper, matter or fact, they contiued to do it throughout the game despite two goals being conceded from thes ame manner. Why do they do this? They are instructed to thats why. This is the first game we've set up like this, its every freaking gane and it's so hard to watch!

It just so happens we got caught out this time and did we learn from the mistakes, you bet your ass we didn't!

Verts looked unhappy granted but u cant blame him for that, played out of position and 6-0 down, he's not going to be all smiles.

I can work my ass off at work but if my boss is telling me to do something that doesnt make sense, i still have to try and do it, doesn't mean it will work.
Many teams play back to the goalie early doors to give him a early touch and feel of the ball other then making a complete mess of a clearance cant see this being such a bad thing , as for you at work sorry but verts is payed very very well to play for Tottenham Hotspur and his team-mates not just for himseft , course it makes sense as at present we don't have any better options in the left back position.

No Spurs fan currently should "get over Redknapp". Our current season suggests that we should be remembering Redknapp. What the fuck else is their to reminisce about from this disaster called AVB?
Have to admit I loved watching Spurs under H. The pile of tosh I've had to witness this season has been one big bore.

Definitely, i would continue to play him there until Rose comes back, not disputing that at all. Just saying, dont expect him to be happy at being 6-0 down. I meant the overall team being asked to execute tactics that simply do not work.

Both times?

Just go and support QPR if you please as it seems you can't live with the fact that 'Arry is in the past now. We need to get behind the present manager. Mistakes will be made but let's see how/if we bounce back from this.

We win a few games and this will all be behind us.

I am sure you can do justice to some of the DVDs in the Spurs Shop or Youtube. 'Arry Redknapp is gone. Never to return hopefully.

Harry did start the move to the right wing and then got the songs about moving him to the left . However, AVB played him more centrally. You and the rest need to get over Redknapp. City lost to Villa and Cardiff, whereas we won. We've lost heavily to City before, but did you disparage Redknapp? I didn't FYI.
I am completely over Resknapp, I just want to be over AVB now. I never wanted him, he was awful at the start of last season, and Bale saved his reputation. Now we have no superman, we look ordinary. We can't score goals and we are boring. Time for him to go.

If we win against Tromso and then beat Utd this result will quickly be forgotten. We need to get behind our team and manager right now. Wont achieve much by turning on them
Who cares what happens in tromso with the second string players we should be playing.

The only thing that matters to us is the prem and qualifying for CL and it's the ignorance of this fact that will greatly contribute to AVB getting sacked.

He won't return, however you can't deny he played the best football for years and we had our best league position for years. That deserves respect, and not the ridicule he gets on here.

Agree about the unnecessary passing back to the keeper, it's a sign of a bigger underlying problem. For their 2nd goal we had the ball near the middle of the pitch and there was an easish ball on to a player higher up the pitch, instead the ball got passed backwards. Was watching with my old man and he was f'ing and blinding lol about that pass. I was wondering why he was getting so worked up, opened my mouth to say calm down it's only a pass and City fucking scored!

I think this bit is the problem though. Every team in the division will fancy their chances against us, and with good reason too.

That's good but we will eventually come up with a winning formula. As the manager to take highest number of points off Fergie, I believe AVB knows more about tactics than some give him credit for.

You talking to me or Andre?


I admire your loyalty to this so very much lost cause. I will come visit you after the inevitable, just to make sure you have removed those rose tinted glasses that's blocking your view.
I note your craven disloyalty. It's only superseded by your stupidity.

....and Sol Campbell was one of our best defenders...

Don't get me wrong I'm glad H went as he made it obvious he wanted the England job. My point was/is I get excited up until kick off every week watching my beloved Spurs but 2 hours later I think what a waste of my life !!!

I disagree, all this chopping and changing isn't helping anyone. We should take Tromso as an oportunity to regain some confidence and morale.
