well this is shit.
Dembele has been horrible, off for Sandro.
Townsend just squandering possession and chances - no one even bothers to make runs when has the ball anymore. Get Lamela on.

Friedel hasn´t been that poor, though his lack of speed hasa beome even more obvious. The problem is that the team are used to the high line with a quality keeper behind them. Switching to a keeper who really ought to be allowed by the FA to use a walker on the pitch fucks up that balance.

I've said this before, but it seems to me that AVB manages like he has infinite job security. I don't know what his relationship with Levy is like, but the standard has been set previously: missing out on the top 4 is potentially fireable offense. Missing out while playing turgid shitty football will almost certainly see him fired.

How can he not start Lamela in a game like this?

I'm beginning to wonder for the first time if AVB is the right man for us. Some of his selections are mystifying and he seems unable to get the most out of our obvious talent.
Try not to think too much. It is only the first half and Krull has made at least two world class saves. It could have been 2-2.

Its like watching an Italy national side from the 90s. Only we're nowhere near as good. It' tiresome and boring to watch for me. My dad used to enjoy watching us as a neutral now he would rather watch repeats of only fools and horses on gold.

For the first time this season I am starting to lose faith in AVB and his system. Need a better passer in the centre of midfield. In my eyes Lamela and Holtby are musts to be brought on.

How sad, Holtby and Lamela and neither have been able to claim a regular first team place. These are our saviours?

This wanker thinks he is refereeing WWE

Someone bump into him lightly and then while he is on the floor unconscious we can can hold down Krul and kick it into an empty net.

With our luck Graham Poll's entrance music would hit and he would sprint onto the pitch just in time to rule out the goal.

Absolutely shocking again!!!!!

Too slow, not getting enough bodies forward when attacking. Same old fucking story this season.

We have the players in the squad so it must be the managers tactics and instructions.

If this boring shit continues the fans will turn very soon and AVB will get the sack.

Change it AVB. This is spurs and we don't do boring football

Lamela Erik Siggs

This is needed on the field asap. Will it be? Will it fuck.
Be interested who AVB brings on out of Lamela and Lennon, but I fear the worst.

I'm so disappointed to say this but 'Boooooo'.

Tired of these piss slow tactics and predictable play.

It's clear other teams have found us out. Defend as a unit and hit us on the break. It couldn't be easier.

AVB, evolve or walk away from football. This is dire.

I wonder what Levy thinks of this shit line-up, shit system, shit performance, and shit score line?

There's a lot I like about AVB, but at this rate we'll be fighting for a mid table position by christmas. I'm starting to think that this time next year we'll have a new manager.
Martin Jol will be free soon :)

Why Siggy? He's literally touched the ball a couple of times that half?
Thought that originally, but townsend is getting no joy and is not releasing the ball. At least siggs will contribute to the flow of play. Could put townsy on the left, but I think it'd just be 'dribble, dribble, dribble, lose ball' still.

Both need to come off tbh.

Are you employed in any managerial position?
