Let's not get carried away. He's a quality player and we just haven't adjusted to Wembley yet. Not every team will set up like Swansea and Burnley. Once we start playing decent footballing teams the goals and momentum will come, I'm sure.

Wembley loses us home advantage I don't care what anyone says. If anything it is a disadvantage because we have teams upping their game to play there. Anyone that honestly thinks we'd have had the same kind of game in this one, Chelsea and Burnley if it was at White Hart Lane needs their heads tested.
Sadly the club needs to do what the club needs to do. The only hope I have is that the plastic fans who were leaving after 85 minutes genuinely leave my club alone when we move back to N17. You waste my club away!
That type of player should be our number 1 target next summer.
The problem is that every team plays to their strength. They come to get a point and they get it....we shouldnt have to rely on playing decent teams that attack. There are more points to be had in the bottom half, and we need to learn how to deal with it.
Its not good enough that our top players disappear against crap teams
Trippier was better than Sanchez.
We didn't lose either game.
I see what you're saying. I just think we set up the wrong way today. Should have brought llorente on at half time and put some decent balls on his head. I just think we need that one convincing win at Wembley and we will gather momentum. I think the title is a stretch too far. I reckon top 4, a good run in the CL and either an FA cup or league cup trophy would be a successful season considering we are away from home all season.
Dele is a goal scoring midfielder, even at his best he still has a lot of weaknesses in his game. Not sure what's happened to his form this year.
Anyway he won't beat players, that's not his game.
Sainsbury,tesco please no lidl.....!
Your agenda against Dele is really quite sad. Are we going to have to listen to you banging on about him every day?
When people were cunting off Sissoko, Janssen and even Adebayor, you would agree with me that we should get behind the players whoever they are when they wear the shirt. Now you're doing the same in cunting off Dele, who has done more than enough for us in two years at a very tender age to deserve a little bit of the benefit of the doubt. Screaming "drop him, drop him" about a player who contributed lots of our goals last year and the year before is total overreaction. If ten games go past and he doesn't score and offers no assists then I'd agree we might have to review his position, he'd need to be dropped. But it's only five games and he's scored twice already. You're flat out melting and you can't see it. Well, you probably can, but your usual sammyspurs pride wouldn't like you admitting it. You're using Dele as a scape goat for what you think is a bad run of form (in reality only one less point than this time last year).
Zaha would have been a good buy as he offers that although he is currently injured. Not sure with our budget who else is there unless we push Marcus Edwards development forward.
That would be good at WHL too.
Sounded like i diddnt miss much...
Davies is the best LB of all time if he would have been the difference. Putting Trippier at LB was a mistake, especially after Llorente came on. Aurier was poor and we needed Trippier's crossing on the right. I don't know why Poch just didn't start the same players in a 4-2-3-1 with Verts at LB. Wasted a half with Son at LWB, who was our best attacking threat, and then subbed off instead of Dele, who was awful today.
Blame all around, but I was afraid this was going to happen after that midweek performance - no urgency at the start. This is how EVERYONE will play against us because it works.
Looking forward to reversing our H/A record from last season.

Exactly. Our time will come I'm sure. Although I was 14 when we won our last trophy...
I knew i'd seen this Spurs somewhere before.
A lot of farting about.
No goals.
Occasional fuck-up to snatch defeat from possible victory.
Refs playing as a 12th man for the opposition.
I don't think I can stomach that again.
This cheese room better be fucking epic!!
He could have easily come on at some point in the second half. We didn't even use our 3rd sub!
Has anybody mentioned we had at least two stonewall pens denied! One o they games it just wasn't our night
This time last year PL points - 9. This year - 8 points. This time last year CL points - 0. CL points this year - 3.I knew i'd seen this Spurs somewhere before.

Total cumulative points from games played this time last year - 9
Total cumulative points from games played same time this year - 11
Form of Sissoko improving.
Dele Alli has scored twice.
Kane is scoring again after quiet August, just like last year.
Aurier and Sanchez hitting the ground running. Squad otherwise strengthened. Janssen upgraded.
All while having to get used to a new ground.
But, accordingly to this thread:-
1) Wembley has cursed our season and we'll always be shit there.
2) We are incapable of having a better away record this year
3) Poch's tactics are shit
4) We are no better than under AVB
5) Dele Alli is total garbage and should be binned
6) We haven't signed the players we need
7) We're useless in midfield
8) Our season is basically fucked already and our form is terrible.
I mean jesus, people need to get a fucking grip. We're only a month into the season for heaven's sake.
