Loving the posts along the lines of:

"we are fucking shit, all our players are shit, pochettino is shit, we've been shit for weeks, can't defend for shit, can't attack for shit..

But Sherwood is a genius tactical mastermind for beating us"

Who said he was a genius we played into his hands with dire laboured woeful football, nothing special from him.

It can't be all on him, he is in charge and ultimately he is the one who will get the bullet if we continue to perform like this but he isn't a player on the pitch doing shit passes and not pressing etc, he isn't telling them to do that, the players are not following his instructions. Just the same as what the players did under AVB.
i agree to a point, but he keep picking the same players in the same roles and stick with them regardless of results and form, lamela for me despite his faults is much more suited to the high press than the lazy chadli but hardly gets a look in.

I don't expect top 4, i think with the squad we've got we will do well to have finished 6th, but i expect the manager to organise the defence, build a style, a shape and drill into the players what he expects. I don't see any shape, the high press is none existant, we have no width, no identity and don't understand why some players can play crap every week whilst other than are probably not going to perform any better but still don't get a luck in. Chadli hasn't had a good game for over 3 months, yet starts every game regardless.
If we were doing all that you have just said consistently then we'd be in the top 4. We haven't got the players to get results consistently.

Remember sherwood had no tactics when he managed us, he's was a clueless manager.

Don't know what to think. We were so poor against Burnley, so I expected some changes after that. But no, we continue to bang our head on the wall with the same formation. And I think it was clear for all (except Poch) that it's not the best idea to go with Bentaleb and Mason as CMs or what ever their role should be called. And I do not know what Chadli has done recently to earn a place in the starting line up. We were as poor today as we were against Burnley and IMO it's because of Poch don't know what he is doing with players he has. I am so disappointed.

We should get 3 points against the teams like Burnley and Aston Villa, but we didn´t. There was no desire, there was no idea, there was no passion. What the fuck is Poch doing. I just do not know!

I can't stand the likes of you that would rather have a useless foreign but "trendy" fraud like AVB or Poch over a manager that'll be in the dressing room firing rockets up the arse of players making them play.

I'm fucking sick of a) watching us play fucking terrible terrible football in pursuit of some pathetic concept of a "philosophy"

Facts!
We were shit under Ramos in his philosophy. We were shit under AVB in his philosophy and now we're looking more and more and more shit under poch in his philosophy.

It's utterly bollocks and its RUINING us.

Fuck off farage

Mate, he was AGAIN good defensively and offensively and constantly got forward. SURELY you can see now that he is good enough for number 1- our best player for the umpteenth time.
No, we need a new LB and have rose compete with him. It will actually help him further.

Every is so quick to jump on Pochettino's back, in true Tottenham fan style. How about the group of shit he's had to work with all year who let us down time and time again. I've never seen such a toothless side in years, we couldn't even score against Villa at home. We need about five new attacking options and that's no exaggeration. It's not just the manager to blame for fuck sake.
What about the team and formation he picked today?

Awful. Fucking awful. He's got Chadli playing LMF and Eriksen RMF. Both were woeful today. Absolutely woeful.

And where was Walker to give us some attacking guile on the RHS? If he was injured fine but I didn't read anything about it.

Lamela on the bench?

And no DM against a side who were clearly going to hit us on the counter?

Mason Townsend Bentaleb are so one dimensional its a joke.

Our whole midfield is a joke when lined up like that.

People are focusing way to much on Pochettino. The players are the ones playing on the pitch you know, everyone but Rose and Vorm were utter fucking wank.
Haha if thats the case, why dod we sack AVB and then TS, could see this shit coming a mile away, no width or pace in the team, team selection and formation is down to the manager, sorry not good enough hasnt been for ages!!!

i don't understand your point, your saying if we were well drilled and orgainsed we'd be in the top 4? i don't see that, the players we have are limited but we also don't have any game plan, shape or formation out on the pitch.

Can anyone make som dvd copies of our last 4 matches and send them to Pochettiono? He needs to really see these games, how embarrasing our perfomances are, how bad some of our players are.

What the fuck is this guy on? I know he cant get on the pitch and play himself, nevertheless he is the man in charge so I will put alot of the blame on him.

'Ang on, 'ang on...I meant recently in contrast to the others.

I still think we need a new LB and have him competing with him. Can't fault his endeavour though and that is a huge developmental plus for him this season. Got a lot for respect for that. Poch brought that out of him as well tbf.

Haha can't agree with you there, I think Rose has been superb this year. He's responded beautifully to us going out and getting Davies. You can expect sheer grit and energy every single week from him. He's everything I wish the rest of the squad would be atm, as our attacking players in particular have no will whatsoever and are far too easy to give up both offensively and defensively.

No secret I wanted Tim to stay on as manager, but even I don't credit him with tactical genius. It is so easy for any side playing with aggression and pace can nullify us and carve us open.

I hope Poch is learning from this because other Premiership managers are.

Oh, so it's the foreign bit. The UKIP mindset is sub-neanderthal, but somehow we have to listen to such moronic opinions.
BTW, where's b)? You know, you wrote a), so I presumed there was some sort of logical thread, but alas I was too hopeful.
