I thought I had problems :chadliblow:
Though I see what you mean, we still got battered by more than 5 goals 4, 5 times last season? So there's defensive frailty, and before that needs to be addressed before looking at styleWe been defensive and negative for the past two seasons
Jesus. Somewhere in Africa there is a pride of lions licking their lips at the prospect of the biggest snack ever
Oh, no!!! Classic mistake! Obviously doesn't realize that horizontal stripes make you appear fat!

You do realise that you could quite easily attribute our status in the top echelon of English football to us having players like Ginola grace the side?
.
The reason Soldado IMO is useless is because he does not bring enough to the game in general to justify his lack of goals.
This is kind of off topic, but I sort of feel with one of the best goal keepers in the world we should be building a rock solid defence around him, I wouldn't mind becoming a defensive / negative team for a season, while certain players bed in and we get over some of the pastings from last season.
Good points, however like others I am still hopeful that Soldado will come good. I think that the popular notion of Soldado sitting around up top not doing anything is mistaken; in his run of bad goal-scoring form he's become much more active in emulating Ade by coming deep to receive the ball, or pulling out to the wing, possibly even to the detriment of his goal-scoring chances, but then with the inability of our midfielders (apart from Eriksen) to advance the ball and provide creative attacking threat, I don't think he's had much choice but to come deep.You don't make Ginola track back or give him water carrying duties. But you also don't surround him with wet paper bags like Townsend, Defoe, soldado, Rose, naughton and Siggie to compound issues [...] The reason Soldado IMO is useless is because he does not bring enough to the game in general to justify his lack of goals.
I'm going to start doing this every time you talk about tiny dancers.
This. We were tied in the league for lowest number of through-balls in the league last year, the year before entirely dependent on Bale. We've hardly been the embodiment of Spursy "swashbuckling" play the last two seasons.
Pooch faces a true test in unlocking the potential of players like Lamela and Soldado.

This is all I think of when I see the phrase tiny dancer.
