Unrealistic expectations? If you has said at the start of the season after we bought him he would score not a single prem goal bar penalty and one goal in all comps, what would you have said? This for the 2nd best team in the league.
Lol, he hasn't played! You think he will be there back up striker next season??How many goals has the first best team in the league's back-up striker (Batshuayi) got? You don't half talk some incredible amounts of bollocks.
If they ship off Costa (as has been rumoured), he will get some more playing time next season..... Or they splash silly money on Greizman (Financial Fair play who ?) .....Lol, he hasn't played! You think he will be there back up striker next season??

Yes, and I'm sure the Chelsea fans aren't going give him another season, don't buy another striker inHe hasn't played for a reason...
He's been like that all season. How many games does he do alright but say he was unlucky or on another day. At what point do we say he's not good enough? With 60-70 games a season we need someone who's better coming in to replace Kane. Or play with Kane. I admire Spurs fans not giving up on a player, but to me, he's championship levelThought he did alright against Watford and shouldn't have come off. On another day, against another goalkeeper, maybe that turn and shot goes in. On another day, that thigh-level 'tap in' gets buried. With a little bit more confidence, maybe he makes more of an effort to get to Trippier's second cross. His hold up play was good and he put in a good shift. Just needs to stop wandering offside so much.
I think there are two issues with Jansen... the first is his confidence, the second is physical. The latter is the biggest issue for me, he seems too sluggish, plays on his heels and lacks sharpness.
Poch changed Kane's body shape when he came to the club, working on making him more dynamic and explosive, which took his game to the next level.
This is what I feel Janssen desperately needs, if he is to succeed in the PL. It's not about being necessarily 'quick' but making him sharper and quicker off the mark.
Currently he's a bit of a throw back to a number 9 of old, which doesn't suit the modern PL, let alone the way we play. We have a fluid and dynamic team which just serves to make him stand out like a sore thumb.
It isn't about regular game time, this is something that is done through conditioning and work in the gym and hopefully something that's being worked on by the club.
I also think Janssen is worth another season but he will need to work on his limitations.
1. Anticipation
2. Speed up his footwork
3. Heading
4. First touch and close control
5. Stay onside
6. Speed off the mark and general pace
7. Intensity and aggression
8. Positioning
9. Composure
10. Shooting
I've listed a lot there but all are doable for someone hungry to improve and actually Harry Kane went through this process about three seasons ago and emerged vastly better player.
I'm thinking getting some spikes to practice sprinting, maybe do some dancing to get those feet working quicker and stay out on the training pitch after everyone else has gone home shooting, dribbling and heading.
