We are in serious decline and serious trouble, bit of luck and a bit a magic today I believe has saved Poch from the sack.
He needs to install some pride and passion into our players..somehow
[/quote. This is what ive been trying to say for ages!, whats really concerning is our manager thinks we played well and he thought we deserved to win! Lmfao seriously MP what planet did you watch the game from? We where nothing short of dreadfull and had there not been a sending off we would have lost end off, our all round game is diabolical at best and is only getting worse! The whole body language of all the players is shocking and we do not play as a team and the negative vibe by the manager is not helping.
Well, I think we used a fair number of "GET OUT OF JAIL FREE" cards today, :up: :up: I am obviously very pleased with the result, but, I thought we were extremely lucky to walk away with the 3 points. What really concerns me is not that we concede goals, its the way in which we concede them, by very poor decision making by our defence, far too often our defenders are caught out of position, Benteke always looked likely to score, simply because Kaboul wasn't marking him TIGHT enough, and it is the same week after week, once again Rose was caught out of position, OK the Villa player did get the run of the ball which meant he(Rose) was then trying to play catch up, but who was supposed to marking the goal scorer, he had a free run. Yet again we see our defenders trying to HOOF the ball out of defence, >:( and invariably it went straight to a Villa player which meant it was coming straight back thus putting the defence under more pressure. >:( Its very easy to blame the forwards for not taking the chances, but at least we created some, which in recent times has been sadly lacking. As far as I am concerned, the main problem is our defence, or lack of. :tickedoff: Hopefully it will improve but I am not yet that convinced. :-\ :-\

I watched the game twice. Once live and the other on Match of the Day and I do agree that we played ‘better’ (and I am careful how I use that word), but we also must remember that Spurs were against a team that hadn’t scored since the early days of the beginning of the season. On top of that we have more spending power and Villa’s players are young in experience. Taking all that into consideration we were terrible. On top of that they had a player sent off to help us along.
Pochettino left Southampton to take a step upwards, instead he ended up in the Twilight Zone. Southampton, in the meantime, is having a very good season and are currently second in the league. We all expected them to be close to relegation, instead we are struggling to stay out of that zone.
I agree that we should give our manager a chance, but for Christ sake, we are Spurs and should be doing better than Villa.
I also agree that Kane should be given a chance.

Well, I don't think we payed well and we certainly didn't deserve the win. We are on a downward trend at the mo and I cannot see where the improvements will be coming from. I hope that Kane is given a chance to start his first game with posssibly Soldado behind him and today at home v Stoke would be a great opportunity, as long as we shore up the back!
