Poch has said Kane was taken off because he was tired and needs to be fitter and that he missed some important pre season stuff. He wanted to protect Kane's "body" he said.

What's so pathetic about it? It's your negative and aim low attitude that's spreading bad karma to our team that's pathetic.
If you can't figure out what's pathetic about, there's no point in explaining it to you, especially as the site doesn't allow the use of crayons.

Er...what? Not sure I completely understand your point. Do you disagree with any the points I made? If so would you care to say what they are?
I think you may have me mixed up with someone who wishes to engage in discussion with you. To answer your questions, however, yes and no.

Not in the depths of despair like many on here but we do need a leader in the team, someone with character, determination and heart even if just to see a game out with 20 mins to go.
A Scotty Parker type in his prime, barking out orders and leading by example.
Cambiasso wouldn't have been such a bad shout, great example and experience for the young players to learn from and a 20 min cameo yesterday would surely have seen the game out

Absolutely on the money: he would be excellent for one season. I read we are also considering Bolasie.

agree with sweets man/glenn hoddle
we need a captain , someone who gives a sh*t and in games like this drags us over the line
all the deadwood has gone bar adebayor
lamela and fazio could be next
but the truth is levy wants to do some clever business late doors leaving the squad understrength going into a new campaign
kane we hear is not fit
so we have no other fit strikers, fucking embarrassing levy
with ftp restrictions frozen, lewis needs to unlock the vault and back the manager and team
same old same old

As usual, no one is prepared to give any credit to Stoke and particularly to Hughes' substitutions. It's always all about the failures of Spurs players.

I appreciate the sentiment, but we were 2-0 up at home against a Stoke side missing their entire spine, with their record signing unable to play. They changed the game with their substitutions, true. But why? Yes, Ireland played well. But we were the authors of our own destruction: very silly penalty (mentally weak); no back up striker (Levy's usual fun and games); completely failure to close down the right hand side, where Ireland was allowed to roam free (Tactical naivety). These are all recurring themes, and until we address them we will continue to see the same results.

Yes, that does mean the other side needs to turn up and exploit them. And credit to Stoke for doing that. But this was very much a case of snatching defeat from the Jaws of victory to my mind.
