What the hell was that? Seriously, anybody who tries to come on here and tell me how they saw some positives in that performance, must be smoking something funny. It is just so boring to watch. There is no spark, no quality and I cannot see it changing any time soon. Yes, you could say that the build up play was okay, but that means nothing, West Brom were happy to let us have the ball when we are that far away from a threat. We were reduced to playing long ball forward to no one in particular. That was on the odd occasion when they could actually get the ball past the player in front of them. We look like a mid table side at best, so any talk of top 4 is a joke. NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!!!I couldn't agree more. Also, ship that turd Soldado out with Levy. Useless muppets the lot...
I would rather be a Man U supporter today, they may have lost, but at least that know how to attack, Di Maria's goal was pure quality. They will end up in 5th spot due to their poor defence, but will won't even be 6th. I thought we were awful against Liverpool, but put it down to them being a much better side than us. Unfortunately it is worse than that, no side will fear coming to play at WHL this year.
I don't blame Pochettino, yet. But he does not look very happy right now. Levy to go first, it is ultimately all his fault and can be traced back to a number of ridiculous decisions he has made and never recovered from.
:tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff:
Just watch the highlights on MOTD. New manager, same old, same old crap! No ambition, no class.
Will it ever change?
:tickedoff:
Like everyone else the result was shocking, last season I sat at WHL bored while players passed the ball sideways backwards, forward but then backwards!! At a snails pace.
And so far this season with a new manager have been treated to the same type of play.
We have no leader on the pitch to make Kaboul captain is a joke but then you look at the rest of them and you cannot see a leader anywhere, the body language of the players open palms when they had the ball as if to say what do I do with it now!
We need to give the manager time but it is not looking good and next Saturday will be carnage if we show the same commitment on the park, who do we have that can give us that spark?
Right now I don't know, we never looked like scoring Sunday our first meaningful shot on target came after 74 mins says it all.
The empty seats around the lane tell the story 4 years ago the place was sold out every game the fans are getting fed up with paying top prices to watch second rate football.
I am a Spurs supporter and always will be but with what we have at the moment player wise mid table mediocrasy is all we can hope for this season at least :-[
Post by Badger501 "And please please please can we get rid of that useless lump Adebayor!!"I was just about to post a similar reply. Sure, Adebayor didn't score and escaped a penalty for his handball, but you cannot blame him for not fighting for the team. He has been slacked in the past for not caring, but at the moment it seems he's one of the most caring ones in our team. The striker is only as good as the midfield behind him.
Badger how the hell can you blame Adebayor for Sundays DEBACLE, Strikers can only do their job(That is scoring GOALS) if they are given DECENT SERVICE and unfortunately on Sunday our MIDFIELD failed to DELIVER. Adebayor, to his credit, never STOPS, working, running and trying to give his team-mates opportunities. I would suggest you look at our CENTRAL DEFENDERS, because therein lies the problem, before you start to level the blame on Adebayor. This is of course is only "My Considered Opinion". :hide: :hide: :hide:
Voice I admire your loyalty but if you think the players we have will make the top 4 I am afraid you are in for a let down.It isn't a case of loyalty but looking at the other teams around us. Nobody is outstanding, nobody can guarantee a top 4 place (apart from, probably, Chelsea & City). That means there are two other places to be filled. This weekend we have got Ars*nal.
The squad we have are nothing more than average and yes we will win a few games but against the top quality teams our chances are remote.
I really hope I am wrong and you are right we will see how we fare Saturday!!!
Does anyone agree that we need to spend some MONEY!!! But we need to spend it on some top quality strikers. I cannot believe that the decision makers think we can do anything with Adebayor, Soldado and Kane as our strike force. Like everyone else I am really sick of watching us play crab football. Spurs fans would rather see us lose 4-3 and go down fighting than watch the boring crap we play these days. Our great teams of the past knew how to play breakaway football. Now all we get is five minutes of buggering about and then turnover possession. Lewis and Levy think they can get results at the top level without spending. (if you add up what we spent last two seasons versus what we sold you'll see we actually took money, not a penny spent net). I say Lewis out, Levy out and lets have some owners who don't expect top drawer results for no money. And please please please can we get rid of that useless lump Adebayor!!
Well no one can say that your not optimistic!

Yes, we need to spend some money on a striker or two. I do believe that in the other departments we are ok. The problem is the manager has got to get the right formation. Three of the players who played in the Europa match should have played in the league match.

The last time Ars*nal failed to get a top 4 spot was when Tony Blair became Prime Minister, so I think only a fool would say they will not do so again. the final 4th spot will be fought between Liverpool and Man Utd. We will see just how bad things are against Ars*nal. Losing by only a single goal may be the closest thing we can get to feeling optimistic on the rest of our season.

We are only okay in the other departments if we are happy to end the season in 7th. Otherwise we are seriously missing a player who can give an injection of pace, penetrative and quality passing and intelligent foresight, to make any impact on sides that are either parking the bus like WBA, or running rings round us like Liverpool. However, I would also like to see those players given a chance in the League. I think that for the League Cup game today Pochettino should play the same 11 as Sunday and then put the Europa players in against Ars*nal.

I think you are partly right. You need a combination of both teams (Thursday & Sunday) for the league. I also hope that Spurs buy a striker in the next transfer window.
Interesting to see the mix of views on Adebayor. I am amazed that so many of you rate him. I would put him on a par with the great Emile Heskey. Not sure who spent more time falling over out of the two but how can you guys want to see Adebayor carry on up front? The guy doesn't score!!!!!!

Because, there are those of us who think that the reason he does not score is because of the way the whole team attack, the poor crosses into the box, the non-existent quality balls forward from the central areas, the lack of support when he does receive the ball, the slow pace of the counter attack, the fact that although he has nothing to work with he is actually trying harder than most on the pitch, the fact that last year he scored 11 goals and had 4 assists in 25 games, in 2011/12 he scored 17 goals and had 11 assists in 33 games (2012.13 not so good) but then Soldado only scored 6 in 28, therefore he is more effective than Soldado at the moment. No one is saying to not buy another striker, we are just not blaming Ade for our current problems!

Maybe he should think of using two up front. It wasn't until Kane and Mason came on that we scored. At least he is willing to change the formation.

Maybe he should think about going 3-5-2 on Saturday, as the midfield battle is going to decide how we do I think ?
Personally I think we should try and flood the midfield(3-5-2) because if the Arse--- start to dominate the midfield, then I think we will get absolutely smashed because that is their strength, nullify their midfield and in my opinion you then nullify Arse---. :up: :up: I think a lot depends on the Team that Poch selects. :nods: :nods: :nods:

What the match showed us on Saturday is that we do need two up front. I thought we were lucky, very. Next we have got two home games then the big one, Manchester city.

Ain't that stating 'THE BLOODY OBVIOUS' :ohyeah: :ohyeah:
We have been discussing Two up front on this Forum for ages. When AVB, Sherwood were around and now with MO. Obviously, they don't think it's the right way, only us
