Pochettino anger at 'very bad' defeat
- Thread starter mawspurs
- Start date
I'd rate this as funny except it may not be that far off of the mark, by all accounts of the match today.

I think I'm done with football until 4231 goes away.
Might watch cricket, it's less tedious.

Never liked two holding midfielders and to be honest never been convinced that teams need one such player as a rule

3-3 under Sherwood in a "ding dong" of a game.
Schooled by relegation fodder today.
We've managed to go backwards from Sherwood who was vilified for suggesting you don't always need defensive midfielders.
Everyone was off today....Chiriches was useless, Ade luckluster, Ericksen and Lamela's passing was awful, and Paulinio, Soldado and Lennon did nothing of note in their cameos. Danny Rose was our best player, followed by Capoue. We miss Walker for some pace on the right side. Fazio and Vertonghen need to be our starting central defenders, and other than QPR, the trio of Ericksen, Lamela and Chadli have failed to impress as a midfield trio. I'm not sure what the answer is, but we don't have many options in the current system. I hope Poch starts getting things right soon. I'm not impressed by his starting lineups or substitutions so far.

I said the same in match thread, we sack someone (AVB) who played 4231 then 6 months later whilst only chopping and changing fringe players employ another coach that plays 4231. We ain't got the attacking players to play it, looking at our next few fixtures unless a miracle happening were gonna be on a rocky road somewhere.

I don't get it I really don't watching this team this is the team that should be playing in Europa league games signed two new defends and them two don't even play Davies and fazio. Danny rose is shocking he really is need to learn how to defend and kaboul and vald wow where to start with them don't speak don't read a game surely Dawson was better then them and caulker.

zzzz Change the record about Rose, it's boring - not only that you're entirely wrong.

So you are telling me rose is better then Davies don't know what game you are watching rose is a back up left back not good enough for Tottenham who is trying to fight for top 4. Don't know why we don't play Lennon aswel he is not the best passes of the ball but he has been doing it for Tottenham for years

At least he didn't talk total crap after the game like AVB. Clearly summed up everything that was wrong with us. This tactical set up requires high energy, quick pressing and quick quick passing to make it effective (similar to Chelsea/Man City). Guys like Dembele, Paulinho and worryingly Lamela don't look like they have the intellect to make it happen. Benteleb rotates the ball quicker than Dembele.
A very very poor performance - Ade, Eriksen, Lamela, Paulinho - everyone was bad. Dembele and Chiriches were aweful. What is a disappointing is that the solution for variety is not something we have - pace, clear pace. Every single team defends deep and centrally because they know that inverted wing play is our main threat.
I can understand Poch's dilemma to a certain extent, who of Chadli, Ericksen or Lamela does he replace. For me, its the formation that has to get sorted - 4-2-3-1. The 2 defensive midfielders - the one pure defensive (Capoue) and the ticker (Dembele) both don't do a proper job. So then make it a 4-4-2 with one holding (Capoue), Eriksen the deep lying playmaker, Lamela cutting in in one flank, Lennon or someone pacey on the other, with Soldado/Chadli behind Ade and moving to create space.
Come on Poch. We are behind you. Get the guys playing.

On what evidence is Davies better than Rose particularly when Rose has been one of our better plates this season?
Rone is keeping him out the team.

Davies last year for Swansea was amazing. Rose has been playing bad for ages. Poch knows what he is doing think he will come very gd for us I knw it takes time but he has 2 new defend new midfield why not play them and drop the other and see what they can do

Going by this season when both have played Rose has been better and Poch sees this. I'm sure Davies will get his chance but not for now.
Anyway left back us the least of our problems.

Yeah that's true. Think we need to serious spend money on the attacking front espically a striker and a winger

Go get a beer and chill out mate. I think your very disappointed today and maybe that's why your posts are not up to much today.

Awful performance. We are not ready for Arsenal next week, nor are we ready for the fixtures that follow. We could be in for a rather gloomy October. We cannot be losing to WBA @ home man ffs!
