You mean the exact thing that every Tottenham fan has said every day for the last 2 years?
Yep but when I posted that on here over the last couple of years I get told I don't know what I'm talking about andthat we have lots of goal scoring options.

We're missing a world class player in my opinion, someone who can just turn a game on its head. Someone like Sanchez, Aguero or Hazard.

We have a lot of good players, at times really good players. But we do not have anyone who can produce something out of nothing.

That's a load of chuff. Hugo is part of the defensive unit and contributes to our solidity with great saves. One thing we have been this season is solid. We've only conceded 5 goals in the league in 10 games!

You can criticse the lack of creativity and attacking threat we've had this season for sure, but at the back (with Toby as well) we've looked solid.

What's chuff? It means vagina on the web and I like vaginas so I'm presuming chuff is a good thing

On point, I agree Lloris is part of the defence But we give away a whole load of opportunities and Toby as outstanding as he is can't do it himself. To be honest Verts has stepped up to the play and along with Lloris the last few games has been outstanding

Of course we're not exciting. No team that plays with 1 striker is "fun to watch".

Watching the midfielders pass the ball around from side to side at the edge of the box without any end product is not fun. It's boring and predictable. Both 4-2-3-1 or 4-1-4-1 are just glorified 4-5-1 formations with the 5 players in midfield passing the ball around.

It makes it even more frustrating when you hear the nonsense AVB come out citing the "possession stats" when we lose by 4 goals at home to Liverpool.

Give me Berbatov/Keane up front. Or even Crouch/Defoe (who were on the field for our 9-1 win over Wigan 7 years ago). Give me orthodox wingers who are capable of BOTH cutting in AND running to the end line like Bale did to Inter 5 years ago. Forget the inverted winger nonsense because they are only going one way - cutting in from the side.

So predictable.

First off, our overall game play since Pochettinho took over is not boring we just haven't won since Manc...that was not a boring game. Pochettinho can either stick or twist over the next few games we could continue to provoke chances with our press or alter our build up play better but that would depend on players who frankly are out of form or injured ie Eriksen Lamela Dembele Son Kane Alli.

Dear Pochettino, please make us really good like we used to be when we played Man City last month. And don't buy players who aren't as good as other players. And remember that if you score goals then you can win matches and then you will win the title because you won those matches because you scored goals, so score goals. Thanks for reading.

Nailed it. Well done you two. /thread

Put Toby, Lamela and Kane in last nights team and we are a different outfit. What we are seeing at the moment is how mediocre the team us without a few key starters. I am dreading Sunday.

I know there will be people who now gonna see two or three things :

1. we are the most solid teams in the league. conceded less goals..

2. we are just 3 points off top..

But why are we overlooking the bigger picture here ? We are not creating enough chances , that is the main problem ...

Before you make sweeping statements like that, do some research...

Just a little...

May I suggest you start with a google search on "How many chances have Spurs created per game in the 2016/2017 season."

Just a suggestion. It may save you a boatload of sarcastic responses.

I can't make any promises here though as you haven't exactly covered yourself in glory here.

We aren't that solid, I mean Lloris has saved our skin so many times. Last night was not solid.

I am so angry with this performance and our performances in the CL. We work all of last season to each this stage and we give it away. We are such ****s. I'd sack the lot.

So goalkeepers don't constitute a part of a solid defence?

I have no words...

This is why I don't comment because needless Topics like this come out.

6 games no losses does not = boring

Have to laugh when on here we have one poster i take it from Toronto and one from the great USA, of which the people in either Country wouldn't know a good football team from a game of tiddlywink's !

YAYYYYYY! Unbeaten streak!!! YIPPEE!!!

News flash: Unbeaten streak means fuck all if you consistently fail to win. We've been boring as fuck and we've very rarely scored(in fact, only scored 3 since city. 2 penalties)

Of late we're going through a bad patch, you can say Tottenham are on the ropes but there is hope. We still have good players a good manager we can play good football we've all seen that we can under Pochettinho.

Wembley is a mental problem we have lost 6 straight.
