Can't quite believe Townsend is starting again.

Can't quite believe Townsend is starting again.

To be more blunt, why not? Over who? Lamela? Why does Chadli deserve more patience? Yeah he scored a few goals earlier due to being in the right place at the right time, but he's still very inconsistent himself.

I think Townsend has been the target of some major scapegoating, and it's part of why his confidence is so utterly destroyed.

Two wrongs and all that.

I'm sympathetic with your take on Ade and Andros - but posts like the one before don't help your cause - or theirs, imo.

I am not trying to help their cause. I am just making a point. C'est tout!
ALLEZ LES TOTTINGHAMS!!!!!!!!!!!

Still can't believe the dogs abuse Andros gets on here.

He was one of our brighter sparks on Sunday. In fact when he's played he's always been one of our better performers.

I guess people see what they want.

Absolutely spot on.

No excuse for Chadli's timidness given his size and power, and Townsend has got to work to try to find a way to make it work before this summer, as I fear he's at a disadvantage against Lamela if we're considering bids at the time.

Still trolling I see

He wasn't good on Sunday, but the targeting on him is absurd.

Disappointed that Townsend is starting, but hope he plays well

 

[Wellspurs]

Show jumpers that have crashed out of a circuit always get their horses to jump a fence after for confidence reasons??

 

[SPURSFANfrance]

Good

Kane
Kristine
Bentaleb
Walker
Rose
Chadli le plus souvent
Dembélé sauf quelques mauvais jours

Moyen:

Lamela
Mason trop fou ou qui va bcp devant et oublie sa place en laissant souvent Nabil défendre seul le milieu
Fazio un défensseur boulette comme rarement vu
Deir petit enfant mais qui s'éméliore
Tawsend qui court en balaçant les pieds dans le vide et centre mal
Vertongen a la la il a pas de vitesse


BAD:

Vlad il sait pas quoi faire du ballon
capoue il est lent et sait pas se positionner sur le terrain
davies lent sur le coté et passes pas de bons ballons dans la surface
Soldado un attaquant qui a peur de tirer au but c'est trés grave

Paulinho ahead of Stambouli, Winks, Onomah, Capoue or Chirpy doesnt get in my head.

It is annoying at this stage of the season that the youth do not get at least one bench spot.

. I doubt Townsend is reading the forums...his confidence is down because he has not played consistently well.

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Can't quite believe Townsend is starting again.

Why? He had a good game on Sunday, showed a lot more than Lamela has in his last 5 or 6 games. We all know Lamela has the potential to be the better player but has to actually do something in games to keep his place, and Poch has given him more opportunity's than he has actually deserved to do just that.

That Swansea stat is begging to be broken today

 

[CosmicHotspur]

An emotional night at the Lane - and for us wherever we are.

Because he doesn't contribute enough.

I don't think his confidence has been destroyed by any of our opinions; still has the confidence to attempt Cryuff turns in our own half and seems to still have his admirers on the punditry circuit, but he just doesn't produce, anything.

I hope he plays well, I hope he makes a real difference tonight, I just don't think he will.

The forums are a reflection of the attitude at the matches. One doesn't have to strain at all to hear the groans whenever something doesn't come off for him, he makes a mistake, or when he was blasting shots out of stadiums. It's true his poor performances have led to it, but the reactions at the matches have more than exacerbated it.

Dier n'est pas un petit enfant.
Soldado est un...what's the French for...
