Siggurdsson will never make it as a wide player. He's just not it, he can't dribble, got no pace, one-footed, that he consistently starts as a wide player for us either in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 (!!! lol) is just baffling. Might aswell stick some random youth player with pace there cause it will be more of a threat than Siggy has ever been out there. And don't get me started on how he drifts to the middle every fucking attack (aswell as chadli today) so eriksen and co get squeezed ou.

I counted 3 times Dawson followed the striker therefore playing him onside, while the rest of the backline held firm. I don't know why he struggles so much to play as part of a defensive unit

well i know why he is struggling today, its the lunatic next to him.

If Sherwood doesn't change this set up dramatically for the second half he's going to look completely inept, if hasn't started to already.

With no Sandro or Dembele its absolutely inexplicable why he isn't playing Capoue.

VAN earned the right to manage spurs - that is why we gor our best ever points total last year & have best away record in PL. I understood what he was trying to do with the team and felt we were in control of most games even much of the first half at Man City. If Sherwood wanted to manage Spurs he should have earned that right by being successful at a smaller club. I have even less confidence in Ferdinand & Freund

Chadli had ONE decent EPL game all season - against S'ton last time round. He's been average at best.
We need a centre half, a left back and a striker this Jan

Why do we go from 2/3 defensive midfielders to 0 and from a rigid tactical plan to none at all ?

Most importantly why oh why is Dawson still being selected, he must have incriminating pics of Levy because whoever is the manager he keeps being picked.

It is baffling.

Does the pendulum really HAVE to swing totally to the opposite extreme. Is there not an ideal medium? Fucking idiots run our club I swear.

We are not playing as a team. Its "run around a bit" all over again. Now lets get that CL-spot! COYS!

I counted 5 suicidal times Chiriches gave the ball away completely exposing the rest of the defense but hey why not pick on Dawson, he's an easy target.

Chiriches looks more and more like bunje since avb left.........liability. Also concerned walker is starting to make mistakes. Chadli poor again, only a sub at best imo. Everyone else just about passable or average. Need to get capoue and or lamela on

What has hapend to Ade's first touch? Non existant.

Can we please bring on Lamela for Sig and move Chadli to the left.

he's always been a bit sloppy receiving the ball though, but i'm never sure if it is as it appears of if it's just his long gangly limbs make it look so crazy. Either way, he does need a couple of yards space to collect it with any confidence of keeping it some days.

I think we look appallingly bad. It's like kids football. No tactics, too wide a gap between the centre backs. Chadli is looking poor. If we play a decent team like this we will get destroyed.

We got destroyed - and I mean desrtroyed - by decent teams on previous tactics. Don't think there has been time enough to install any sort of organized system and there was no way we could've carried on playing like we did. So it takes some time, meanwhile playing with bit more urgency might eventually gel team a bit on attacking play.

Capoue on for Holtby, Chadli on the left and Sigurdsson on the right would give this side some balance.

Why are people slating Siggy? He has been ok. Chadli, Dawson, Vlad and Rose have been useless and Holtby so so - everyone else has been good

What did you disagree with IBBZ?

the need for a DM or that Tim is an amateur?
