    Yeah I agree. But I stand by that players on average don't peak before they turn 25, for the simple fact that human brains aren't fully developed until 25. If it was "you need to be an established 1st team player before you are 25 or you won't develop much more without dropping down a level"...

    The most confusing thing for me about D1's post is the notion that players peak at 23/24. Errr...no. 28/29 more like it.

    I'm as 'tactically inept' as they come, but even I know exactly what we are going to do, where we are going to pass the ball when watching the game. Even I can see that 3 v 1 on that free kick for their 1st was asking for trouble. The tactic right now seems to be get it to werner / johnson and...

    I swear those ****s could put their U12s out and they'd still beat us at Stamford Bridge, regardless of who our manager and players were.

    The get what we deserve was in reference to the constant churn of managers and never winning any silverware. Even I can see we are lacking in defending set pieces and I'm as far from a tactical guru as it's possible to get. The idea that all the analysts and coaches genuinely think we are doing...

    We got absolutely fucked by VAR yesterday. When even Lee Dixon thinks it was a pen vs Kulu you know VAR fucked us. Spurs fans in September : Its going great but it will be a bumpy road, lets stay the course and get behind our man. We need stability. Spurs fans in April: Naive, stubborn, will...

    Yeah I see your point and ideally we will go and get an uber striker in the summer, but we both know that's unlikely. Perhaps not a controversial opinion but I genuinely believe that if Kane stayed we'd be right in the mix for the title right now. I think we've forgotten how much his hold up...

    I saw an article about 6 months ago that did the maths on it and since 1992 the average tenure of PL managers is just over 18 months, which is mental.

    I think we do need a striker, but not necessarily one that will score from nothing. We create plenty. Imo we need a clinical finisher who also has good hold up play.

    I'm seeing lots of debates about CV's, experience 'at this level' etc. Football management isn't an exact science. That's it really. One thing's for sure though, stability lends itself more to long term success than chopping and changing every 5 minutes.

    "If Kane leaves we'll be in a relegation fight next season" was a pretty common theme on here. Personally I thought anything from 4th-8th so I'm pretty happy overall. Yesterday was really horrible though. And yes, better set pieces and a bit of flexibility is needed from the manager. I'm sure...
