Match Leicester away, Saturday 3 PM

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

People always have their favs they won't slag off even after bad games or multiple bad games which is what we see from most sadly tbh!

Chadli and Lamela have had two years now...

Cant figure us out sometimes at all.


Yep it's true. People have favorites and they can't admit when the players they slag off constantly are useful.

Premiership.

Chadli.

Played 3.

1 goal

1 assist

Townsends average for a season in open play.
 
Thats ok - I think you're full of shit. You can still read in the bin - I thought you were a cunt. Shall we ignore each other now? It would be better for everyone.

Go to bed Joe, not getting into a bitch fit with you over absolutely nothing again. You're really going to verbally abuse someone for saying a cross was brave? We both know you tend to get in fights with people late on at night and that it doesn't lead anywhere good. Just leave it.

Agree completely.

I get that people say he doesn't run a game, and it's true (no one in our squad really does). But he's still one of the best players in our squad in terms of raw output.
 
The game is about winning. If we have a dire start to the season and the players look like they can't be arsed then fans will be frustrated, especially during matches. It's called human nature. Not everyone can be the sewn lip happy clappy type every single second of the season.

Yep. I think we are trying hard.

I do think Poch is being out managed. But again, I think Poch is trying hard too. The Ali goal is a sub in the right direction.

We have fight in the players. I just hope Poch realizes he can't keep putting out such a slow team. Kane, Dembele, Mason etc need some speedsters to riff off ASAP.
 
What is his proper position though? People can't seem to decide if it's on the left or middle.



He has the ability to, but I don't think I've ever seen him do it the way that Modric did. Seems an anomaly, he's talented but he's never dominant.



Lets be honest, that says more about our lack of options and how shit our squad is more than anything.



This is the sort of thing that grates. Wasn't he the third highest goal scoring midfielder last year? Chadli SCORED MORE GOALS THAN ERIKSEN. 'Chadli scores more, but has less of an impact', honestly just baffles me. Eriksen doesn't run a game and neither does Chadli.

Completely agree about getting someone aggressive in though, someone to shout at people and lead them.
Dude not many can run a game like Luka can, deeper lying midfielder who scored fuck all and got fuck all assists btw-but we ALL know how good he was.
Chadlis 'stats' per game are definitely better than modric but we all know who the better player is, just like we all know Eriksen is a better player than Chadli.
 
just like we all know Eriksen is a better player than Chadli.

I honestly wouldn't agree with that. I think they're around the same, give or take. Both have different qualities, although both have the same problems...neither can control a game, neither are consistent, neither are leaders, both are defensively poor and both can be lazy.

I'm none the wiser to where you think his best position is though.

If we look at Clinton and Berahino (who Poch wants) I think it's clear he knows we need pace. Current lineups aren't his fault in that sense- Levy has yet to bring in the personnel.

Eriksen just has to be a proper between the lines no10 IMHO, and I realise he scored most of his goals coming in from the left. Theres a reason Juve are looking at him.
As far as the defensively poor comparison as you seem to like your stats, Eriksen covered more ground than any player last year-he may not be a good tackler but he presses well at least, Chadli apart from a few goals and attempted dribbles does fuck all.
Again, all my opinion-we're all spurs fans here I just think Chadli and Lamela can both fuck off tbph.
Eriksen is a far superior player to both and with the right system and players around him would flourish.
You can't say the same for the other two imo.

I just thought you were a cunt for shafting me when I couldn't reply. I still think you're a cunt for that.
 
The guy can't tackle. If you were a striker running at Vertonghen, you wouldn't worry about him tackling you so you just keep going. He's soft.
JV. Soft no doubt. And Spurs should've penalized a PK for his clear jersey grab in the box in that first half. A mental midget at times just like Walker. But that doesn't exonerate Mason from his little stroll back and clear lack of commitment on the particular play. If he was gassed then on him too? Poch ? Who knows. But he should've been on the ball way earlier and it's still 1-0 for me

I like Mason because he loves the club, has waited years for his chance and while is pretty limited at times he does give 100% all the time, remember he had EIGHT weeks out injured cos of that cunt Jack Wheelchair and is clearly not fit enough for 90. Can't blame him for gassing in one of his first near full games imo.
Verts was at fault for that goal plain and simple-show him outside on his right ffs man!
Ps if you watch the replay the ref couldn't even see the 'jersey grab' but he should have seen the terrible attempt at a tackle 8 yards in front of him.
Verts was absolutely horrendous today-sit out next game and put Dier or Wimmer in with Toby ffs poch, Jan needs a reality check big time.
 
If we look at Clinton and Berahino (who Poch wants) I think it's clear he knows we need pace. Current lineups aren't his fault in that sense- Levy has yet to bring in the personnel.

We have Tripper and Rose who have pace. I think he missed a trick trying them on the wing.

Can't prove that, it's just an opinion. (Like trippier getting over a dozen assists in the league as s lb plus his prem crossing/creative stats are great and Rose used to be a winger)

I agree our most recent signing paints a good picture pace wise so I hope we keep moving in that direction.

Kane, Dembele, Mason, Chadli Dier and Bentaleb etc are hard to dominate apart from pace. Not just going forward, we need it as a DM too.
 
Absolutely, the only time he does tackle (or did) was when its last ditch or when he comes in strong when a player first receives the ball outside 18 yard box, he seems unsure of himself in the box now, does not get close or ask enough questions of the forward, poor angle should have showed him outside

As usual how did one header after a kick off lead to a guy running at us in our own area, for 5 mins after you score, we should have 8 behind ball taking it easy for a while, Davies was halfway up the pitch again, fine if 1-0 down but jesus footballers are thick
Very good point. Scoring a late goal and getting that lead in the 80th+ min. Where the fock is Davies ? His priority should be initiating a big fat parked bus.

JV shares the blame. No doubt. But Mahrez was isolated and a 100% effort by Mason would've clearly prevented that goal.

I agree Jan was bad.

But it was a great goal. The problem started with an old issue of ours switching off after we scored. (We have a young team)

It resulted in Davies being isolated 2 on 1. That was amazing management and was deliberate. Watch the whole thing.

That goal was Poch being out managed. Our wings are constantly attacked because they knew Dembele and Davies were on yellows so they doubled up.

Jan is a great defender. Had a shit game. Bentaleb is a great midfielder and he had a shit previous game.

I don't see Poch doing much of the opposite. What weak links was he telling us to attack? When have we seemed to have a plan outside possession adnauseum.

Poch is earning his money but from a tactician point of view, he's doing the bare minimum. And players like Lamela and even Bentaleb and Eriksen seem to be going backwards.

Dunno where to start with that really but Trippier is a RB and Walker is miles quicker, although I'd prefer Trippier because he can cross and has a brain.

"our most recent signing paints a good picture pace wise so I hope we keep moving in that direction."
is that sarcasm??
Toby, Trippier, Wimmer paint a good picture pace wise?? wtf are you on about?

N'jie is quick but you didnt mention him or am i missing something?

You're unreal mate - reading that you think this shit team would be improved by Rose! Who you hate. So everything you said last season was bollocks - as it was the season before that, and before that, and before that - ooh Modric is shit - and before that - ooh Malbranque is better than Modric - and Jamie O'Hara is better than Modric. Proper Welsh Swansea supporting cunt.
 
I just thought you were a cunt for shafting me when I couldn't reply. I still think you're a cunt for that.

I posted a picture of a guy drinking, when someone asked why you get so angry at night. Was a joke, rather than an insult. All you've done is validate the picture and the question asked...Can't be bothered going anymore off topic though, I'm out :pochbye:
