Redknapp's 4-4-2 insanity has killed our season

[Dan Ashcroft]

10 points and we fucked it up... It's heartbreaking.

I can't believe the madness. We're imperious all season using variations of 4-5-1. Then suddenly, that old kneejerk that he can't quite kill off returns to haunt us, and the whole season falls apart within 3 weeks.

Modric in the middle, Rafa in the hole, Bale on the left - that's been the key to our side. But Redknapp just can't help himself. So to accommodate Saha/Defoe we play Modric out wide, Rafa out wide/on the bench and Bale on the right. And what happens? We get torn a new one in midfield, we have 2 forwards as passengers, our best players are lost and we resort to hitting long balls. And that happens 3 times in a row.

England can't come soon enough. The old man has lost it.

we just got beaten by man united and Arsenal away from home, Everton are on a run. it was always going to be a tough game.

best bet would be to go to the pub, have a few beers and chill out.
still four points above the 5th spot with that shit manager...

You may have a valid point but the season is not over yet

Yawn

No coincidence at all then that the wheels completely come of the moment we regress to this archaic system?

Dan Ashcroft's Ramos insanity has killed our forum.

We play Chelsea away next and you know how good we are at Stamford Bridge?

It is. The mentality and momentum have gone. We could finish beneath Newcastle now.

Stoke at home next.

Blame the Newcastle game, we were forced to play 4-4-2, and because it worked against their second choice midfield Harry got the idea that we could start doing it against proper teams and we got found out.

Modric on the left has killed us, nothing more.

Losing the one player who keeps us moving has cost us dearly, the ball is not moving quickly enough through the midfield. Far too many times the last few weeks we've been slow and laboured in possession.

We also miss Lennon and Bale either side, so so much, it pushes teams about 10-15 yards further back, allows us to move the ball quickly in and out.

Getting our players all fit, and putting square pegs in square holes will be key to get us back on track.

Harry, 4-5-1 got us where we were, get us back there before you cost us. Get your head out of your arse and start managing this team properly again.

 

[Blake Griffin]

dan is 100% correct.

Stoke at home next.

don't think so.

In all my lifetime as a Spurs supporter, they could be on the verge of serving up the mother of all disappointments. I don't think any of the previous let-downs will have come close.

And i'm not sure what irritates me the most. The prospect of that happening or the thought that ever since the deafing silence you've dished up about Harry since his not gulity verdict, you've been sat waiting, cock in hand, for the opportunity to have another pop.

You must feel like a rutting stallion right now. If scientists could only get a sample of your DNA right now, there's be an instant, natural rival for viagra on the market within weeks.

That aside, there's BC's tactical autopsy thread where this blatantly should have gone so it give me unusually great pleasure, (cock in hand), to lock this thread.
