Final Score pundit Garth Crooks​

"One of the reasons why Spurs fans are not feeling Andre Villas-Boas is because he sticks rigidly to a system, 4-3-2-1, when he has got strikers of the calibre of Defoe and Adebayor. It has been proven they can play together. AVB is inflexible."​

Given that he's got the formation wrong and clearly knows nothing about Defoe, I'm not going to put too much stock in what he says.

I hope AVB now realises that Freidel is too fucking old and needs to be dropped and Adebayor is better than Defoe.


Shit performance

First time I'm doubting AVB. He is now officially under pressure. Feel sick to my stomach about the shit he's serving up. You do not loose at home to Wigan.

 

[shelfboy68]

I'm afraid that this will again raise doubts about avb and his ability to manage as this will be 3 defeats in 4 games 2 being at home.

This is not good enough and it's clear he can't get his teams to defend properly or make decisions like dropping gallas,friedel etc we have been a shambles for a while now but were getting away with it only playing one half in every game constantly backing off and allowing teams back in.

The boo boys will be out today and I can't blame them this is really as shit as it gets and levy will have to look at himself cos this team and signings have gone backwards.

 

[felmani26]

even though defoe had done fuck all, why did he not go 4-4-2 and keep him on with ade - and take off dempsey instesd who played all the game on Wednesday night, defoe came on at 90 mins....

inexplicable imo when your 1 nil down at home to wigan with half an hour to play...

It's head scratching and like you, I want to believe that AVB will galvanise us into an attacking tour de force and whilst he has been handicapped with key players going down to injury and a bad transfer window, his line up's and substitutions leave a lot to be desired.

 

[Chapel Hill Hotspur]

Disgraceful.

IT WAS SO OBVIOUS FROM THE KICK

 

[Pete Spur]

if AVB doesn't drop friedel and gallas, i wont watch until he does

They were 2 of our best players today you fuckn div

 

[King of Otters]

Disgrace. Not for the first time AVB fucked up his team selection and subs. He deserves all the stick that's about to come his way.

 

[panoma]

Joke performance
Work rate has been rubbish.

But they only earn about 50k a week, cant expect them to get sweaty EVERY weekend for peanuts!

 

[bern]

Villas-Boas has started squatting a la Chelsea

his colostomy bag must be full.

 

[YiddoJames]

utter dross. Why can't he play 4-4-2 at home with Ade and Defoe? This formation is consistently not working at WHL. I'm not surprised by the score because we've been ropey playing with this kind of set up each match pretty much

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

Pathetic. ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC

2 points from Norwich, Wigan and WBA at home. What an embarrassment.

Hudd, Walker, Gallas, Siggy, Dempsey not good enough on a consistent basis!!

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Fuming. What an awful performance. We threw away three points we desperately needed.

 

[Babylon22]

Has to be up there with one if the worst home performances of the last 5 years.

 

[Gbspurs]

I'd still keep AVB till at least end of the season. Try and strengthen in January and see what happens.

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

Given that he's got the formation wrong and clearly knows nothing about Defoe, I'm not going to put too much stock in what he says.

Disagree here. Garth has actually spoken some sense in less than 20 words.

 

[Goldman]

If that doesn't provide a wake up call to AVB... Then fuck knows what will..

 

[samspurs92]

We're not a football team anymore. Fucking shit. Anymore performances like this and AVB won't be in a job for much longer.

I actually do miss Harry.

 

[hughy]

Questions, questions, questions.



I'll start. Why the fuck didn't Friedel just help it over the bar?

The Ratings thread should make amusing reading later.
