Pochettino; talk them up, not down, and then things might change

Is attacking not classed as a tactic, a tight defense not a tactic?

Whilst I agree complicated tactics are not suitable and can cause massive confusion you do need tactics, a game plan and strategy ideally adapted for the game at hand and also suited to the players abilities that you have available.

The latter is where Poch is falling down at the moment, trying to play his way when he doesnt have the players to do so.

Maybe that is why he changed his system against Everton and won.

Can but hope Voice, lots of positives from the Everton game, going a goal down fighting straight back and then taking the lead.  Better attacking play, still defensive issues but we looked better.  Everton are a decent side so IMO it was a good result which we can now build on.

Soldado and Kane to continue upfront, they are starting to gel.

We still need another striker, but yes, I agree. Now we've got a difficult match against Chelsea tomorrow (Wednesday).

Another? I think we need two other strikers, and that is only for starters.

I know this isn't directed at me, however, Ade needs to go and replaced and one more extra in case Kane or Soldado is injured.  Kane and Soldado should stay as they are starting to work well together.
