He's knackered - completely spent - but we do not have an alternative - this is a major concern.Eriksen was the worst player on the pitch.

Well he only had to score one goal against Ireland. But noooo... Had to tire himself outHe's knackered - completely spent - but we do not have an alternative - this is a major concern.
Some man jumped up and had a go at me yesterday because I was banging on the roof of the lower tier trying to make some noise as he'd "had enough and was sick of it"First time I’ve been to the new Wembley today and I can see why we are struggling at home In these “smaller matches”. The atmosphere was non existent today and a lot of the crowd is made up by non fans on a tourist day out

I said why come to football and don't expect any noise and he bizarrely replied "I don't give a shit about the football". I really, really hope these people don't turn up at the new stadium
I don't think we will change it seems the ethos is relentless pressure with ball possssion and hope that the other team buckles,but if and when they don't we are fucked and have no other option.Not sure I quite believe the defending claim, because even if we were aided a few goals by some defensive mishaps, you can see the way in which we play against these types of teams is severely lacking energy and intensity. But I agree with the lower part, it says a lot when we have much more joy playing against Real Madrid, Dortmund and Liverpool at home than we do Burnley, Swansea and West Brom.
What annoys me the most is that our football now at home against the bus parkers has not seemed to have changed at all yet from the start of the season. I don't know if it's naivety or stubbornness in thinking that we can just play the way we usually do in the hope that it clicks or that we are trying new things and it's (clearly) not evident but either way it would be nice to see some sort of major change to our approach to these games, even if it meant dropping someone and going with 2 strikers or something just different. I'm kind of sick of seeing the slow side to side and backwards play and looking at the clock seeing 35 minutes and barely remembering a decent effort on goal.
We missed Sissoko yesterday.
Megson said we changed formation many times during the game to try to break them down, anyone who went to the game can say what these formation tweaks are as poch also said we did this last season (in his book) and I find it hard to see us looking any differently to how we start the game with the 3-4-2-1?
In order to maybe stay a little positive, last season at this stage we had exactly the same points. It was around now we started to really click though and begin building momentum. Looking at our fixtures (ignoring City away where we have no right not to lose way they are) up until the Utd game, if we don't pick up some serious points and get that momentum going then we can write off our chances of top 4 in my opinion.
Last season at this point we won 7 of our next 8, we're going to need to do something similar, next two tricky away games are absolutely huge. Our away form is good, back to back wins will take us into two home games where for the love of god hopefully we finally work out how to beat bus parkers.
Who has signed a new contract then? If any of our big players had done so it would be all over the media.I'm sure they got nice fat bonuses for a) finishing 2nd b)getting into the CLge and c) all their win bonuses last season would have added up quite nicely.
They get bonuses for everything these days.
New contracts have been signed, updated. Spurs players are constantly having their contracts renewed and upgraded.
I think you are barking up the wrong tree there my friend.
