BBLG will know that statistics can be very misleading.Lose 1-0 eight games in a row and then win two 4-0 gives you a poor points total but a seemingly effective attacking and offensive record.

Stats are only misleading if you let them be - a record of 8 for and eight against is not "a seemingly effective attacking and offensive record". 8 goals in 10 games is crap. 6 points from a possible 30, regardless of the goals for and against, is not some sort of hidden statistical anomaly that shows underlying bad luck.

We're not scoring goals, so none of our players are going to be on the scorers charts or the assists charts. That's the problem, there's no misleading stats about it.

That we can play well on special occasions shows that there is not much wrong with the squad but there is a 'mental' problem with the team and I'm not sure that Harry can solve it.
Switching between love and hate for his team speaks of a manager out of his depth.

There's plenty wrong with a squad who gets it up for some games but can't be bothered for others. Harry's job is to flush out those attackers he thinks cannot improve their attitude. What can you do but switch between love and hate when you're winning some games with 3 and 4 goals and playing brave attacking football, while in others you're not even registering shots on target? Harry can't play a team of defenders just because their attitude is right. He should ship some slackers out.

We actually passed the ball really well in the first 10 mins of the wigan game. If we can keep that up then we will win

i think for all he gets slated we have missed BAE, bale just isnt good enough at LB it could be worth trying him at LW with BAE behind him

Gomes
Coluka-Dawson-Woodgate-BAE
Lennon-Huddlestone-Zokora-Bale
Defoe-Pav

I really miss Martin Jol. Happiest times as a Spurs fan. Just can't see this squad matching that again - no matter what the formation.
