His awful pass under pressure that led to Wolves second goal. His passing is poor when he is under pressure.
And he lost his man at the end like he couldn't be bothered to track him further anymore or thinking Dier will take over. Probably Dier expected him to carry on running too. Either way it was damn depressing to see that.His awful pass under pressure that led to Wolves second goal. His passing is poor when he is under pressure.
Not really. The consensus is that he is either a sub or not good enough for the squad.Been saying this for ages but he’s been well defended on this forum.
This 'viking' myth about PEH makes me dizzy. He's a phenomenal talker and pointer and shouter, but when it comes to actually doing the grunt work he is nowhere to be seen.
You just can’t see what he’s been doing wrong.Not really. The consensus is that he is either a sub or not good enough for the squad.
The real division here is between those of us who do not only see what he does badly and acknowledge that he can play for a Premier League team, and those who blame him for everything that goes wrong when he is on the pitch. Add to that the stick he gets for just being himself, for ridiculously small things like pointing and for things he’s never done or probably thought about that his critics attribute to him anyway - then you get one of if not the biggest scapegoat in the prem. And no, that doesn’t mean that he should be above criticism, just that he gets blamed a lot more for other people’s mistakes and imbalance in the team than most other players.
To clarify... You've quoted @sundanceyid10 's post, and put my name against it. This is how fake news starts.To clarify, this is a normal level of criticism for a player:
This isn’t:
Oops, sorry about that - I had three quotes in there at first. Must’ve *****up on my phone.To clarify... You've quoted @sundanceyid10 's post, and put my name against it. This is how fake news starts.
Because I refuse to participate in a witch hunt? The man has been under fire since he got here. I’ve said previously why I think that a part of it (the personal and non-football stuff mostly) is grossly unfair. I never said he should be exempt from criticism.You just can’t see what he’s been doing wrong.
I agree with you. I've never rated him, I was one of the first to say he was replaceable but the vitriol just grows and grows and the mob mentality of blaming these players under the microscope is unedifying.Because I refuse to participate in a witch hunt?

When a majority (or loud minority as it probably is) throw the same amount of garbage after another player, I’ll be in that thread trying to nuance that picture as well.
Man has been under fire since he got here because people could clearly see his weaknesses. For the best part of past 3 years we have been sh*t and he has been escaping with world class finger pointing and screaming lol.Because I refuse to participate in a witch hunt?

I agree with Jenas on MOTD. No reason why Kulu couldn't have shown for the pass.His awful pass under pressure that led to Wolves second goal. His passing is poor when he is under pressure.
It’s not a witch hunt, he is what he is as a player and that’s very limited. If the whole purpose of Spurs is improving, it means better players. Spurs are not going to go up a level with Hojberg, his level is probably somewhere around where we have been the last few years. He isn’t crap but he also isn’t what we need to get better, that’s the harsh reality of top level sport and wanting to actually win something.Because I refuse to participate in a witch hunt?
