Ex-Spurs Player Danny Rose

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I didn't say it was Roses fault. I said it was Roses fault to not press (he walked backwards...I love people claiming it was fine. Since when was walking backwards letting someone pass = pressing?)

I said Rose should have closed down/pressed, I said Eriksen should have covered the runner, I said Jan was pulled out of position because of this and I said Toby would be left isolated.

Not only did I state that happened. after the fact..I also said most of this would happen BEFORE THE GAME. Because I know the patterns.

Not surprised you would still be jumping up and down in this thread lying since your boy Townsend just cost us another win with his Rose like obsession with glory. Townsend summed up everything about my opinion being correct. Like I said, the more this happens: The louder you seem to get.

What else did I claim before the game? I stated that Lamela despite being better in the tackle is still a liability and despite being game, he can leave Walker too wide open? That happened too vs Swansea. Seems I know what causes the issues at Spurs eh?

Just like I claimed Davies gives a better platform for Eriksen to play. Two goal Eriksen.
Where did you 'claim' this? You just make it up after the game knowing that no one can be arsed to trawl through the bollocks you post.
 
Right. Getting accused of being racist...I have to post nice right? You call me names etc and I deserve the sin binning? You do. Joe does for exploding on you. Arcspace does for off topic abuse.

The inmates run this asylum. Bringing up the fact that I have been banned from SC etc. I posted there for 6 years. You think these people would last 10 seconds on these forums?
Where did I say you needed sin binning? Show me the post. Go on. For heavens sake.

You fucking liar. You didn't post in the match thread before the game. Delusional tit.

Where did l 'explode' on Bolton? And you've been banned from NINE forums, not SC etc. You just come on here to lie. Vote cast prick.
 
Man this thread is pathetic. Anyone want to talk about Danny Rose and the left back position and what players help the confidence of the back line and link up well/provide a platform for Eriksen to perform?

Pref someone who does not post the N word on forums? Anyone want to keep it football?
 
Man this thread is pathetic.

Not as pathetic as your repeated attempts to try and bury Danny Rose for absolutely nothing. Eriksen scores two setpiece goals because Davies is on the field? Give it a break, Gibbs -- you sound downright moronic. You clearly have a bias -- I don't know where it stems from, but it's definitely not Spurs.

Genuine question -- why do you keep posting on this forum? Or any forum for that matter? It's clear that not a single person here likes you, and based on your past it's clear no one liked you on any of the other forums. It'd be much better for everyone (you included) if you just kept your terrible analysis and biased opinions of very good and very popular Spurs players on your blog. That way, the one or two other loonies could find you and read it there.
 
Had Eriksen scored two goals from freekicks with Rose in the side, it would have been to spite him though.. right?

The last time Eriksen played with Rose, Eriksen had one of his worst games in a Spurs shirt and was anonymous.

Rose wan NOT anonymous. He was front and center of the lens. Apart from when it came to defending the goal. Eriksen looked like a disaster with Rose. Partially at fault for not following the runner who got beyond the shuffling Rose with ease.

So Eriksen did the opposite of what he did on Sunday. That's the power of Rose. Throws Eriksen's potential under the bus.

IMO empty entertaining players like Lennon, Townsend, Bentley etc have caused the downfall of Spurs in the modern era. Players with no end product and questionable off the pitch antics poisoned this club.

That is why I am delighted the tide has turned. This season I get to watch a team that I would put out there. I'm seeing more of Kane, Dembele, Mason, Bentaleb, Davies, Dier, Jan, Toby and the bigger more reliable players being played over the old players like Soldado, Townsend, Lennon, Defoe's etc.

I don't post to hump somones leg like most of the people in this thread. I mean look at you. you are a classic example of why I post. Last year you were telling me I was wrong to back hardworking players like Kane. Now look at you. Reduced to crying in a Rose thread pretending you have a clue AGAIN while Davies solid display puts others around him like Eriksen back on the right track mentally.

That is why I post. To get rid of Soft Spurs that people like you are obessed with. In that Kane thread, I was told playing a bigger player with Kane along with Dembele, Eriksen and Lamela would look like West Ham.

So yeah. I post because The Tottenham Way has morphed into Soft Spurs and I need people like you to realize this. Townsend on the weekend proved it for me again...But here we are, people still calling me a troll because I don't hump their legs enough.

Harry Kane is a straw man is this thread and I will not address him. I'd suggest you do the same, as it only makes your incredibly weak arguments that much weaker.

You're literally making up reasons as to why Rose is a bad player. There's nothing noble or Spurs about that. Your self-defeating arguments and biased opinion of a very good player for Spurs is not Spurs. If you truly loved the team, you wouldn't go out of your way to make arguments like the ones you've forged against Rose. He didn't press? We dropped points because he put in a motm performance? Eriksen scored two goals simply because he wasn't in the team? Gibbs you can't make up reasons to hate on a Spurs player and then claim to be Spurs.

You claim people are pathetic -- I don't know what's more pathetic than someone who is disliked by almost every member of a forum continuing to post on said forum. Either you're delusional beyond helping, or you're a troll -- either way it's incredibly sad. You're not going to get rid of real Spurs fans any time soon, so just leave TFC again before things get ugly -- go make your own forum; no one can ban you, and you can find the 1-2 other people who might actually agree that going out of your way to hate certain Spurs players is Spurs.

In what specific ways did Rose contribute to Eriksen's poor form? This is just another baseless claim, Gibbs. You have absolutely nothing to back up this argument outside of your own bias against Rose.

Please stop bringing up the 'Rose didn't press an oncoming attacker' part. I think you're completely failing to understand how, out of all the dumb things you've said, that is by far the dumbest. Coupled with your praise of Davies for jockeying earlier in the thread, it looks almost farcical. In football, it is never a good idea to rush an oncoming attacker. Poch's press does not mean a defender recklessly running at an opponent with the ball and their feet. You do not understand football.
 
I said Rose is a bad defender. Not a bad player. Yes he can tackle but he brings chaos. He was a winger. He has more than enough in his locker to make us almost impossible to break down on the wings.

He is really disappointing me with his final balls and deliveries this season but I still think playing him behind softer cerebral players like Eriksen is a terrible fit.

Proven right in Roses last game. Proven right on the weekend. We were an own goal away from 3 points. Bringing on Townsend cemented my opinion of heads down glory hunters = the issue with this club.

I'm a troll?

Have you been watching Spurs in the prem? We are one of the hardest teams to beat with Davies.

We lost vs Utd. OG.

We drew against Swansea away. OG.

How about you wait for proof that I am wrong about Rose in the back line before you claim how clueless I am.

Because so far everything is coming up Gibbsy on the pitch.

A draw with Rose in the team is lost points.
A draw with Davies in the team is "look how confident Eriksen is"

Nothing is coming up on the pitch -- you're literally just making things up and insisting they're factual. Fabricated points combined with piss poor ("Poch's tactics are press"), delusional analysis. That's why you're a troll. Nobody likes you, yet you insist on continuing to post on TFC. That's why you're a troll.

What, exactly, was proven right? That you'll praise Davies for a draw and attempt to crush Rose for one? Get out, Gibbs. This is ridiculous. You can't make up reasons to hate Spurs players and then claim to be Spurs. Your heart isn't in it.

Was I making up Eriksen and Rose making our flanks weak against Monaco? Nope. Eriksen played terrible.

You think it's chance that Eriksen scored two away from home against better opposition? When previously he looked a shambles with Rose blowing up behind him?

That own goal saves your blushes. its ironic that we score an own goal via a corner, seeing we have not conceded defending them this season in the prem.

Soft Spurs is dead.

It's pretty funny I specifically say Eriksen plays better with Davies before this game. Two goals. Set up a perfect platform to allow what Eriksen does best.

Saved my blushes? So you think I'm glad Kane scored an OG so that I could make up some crap about Davies being worse than Rose? As if an OG has anything to do with the Davies v. Rose debate in the first place? No, Gibbs -- that kind of delusion and self-interest is saved for scum like you. I would much have preferred a Spurs win. But, then again, I am Spurs -- I don't go that far out of my way to hate on players I have a bias against. What a joke.

How exactly did Davies make Eriksen score those two freekicks? Was he standing behind him, whispering softly in his ear and giving him deep massages in the lead up?

And how exactly does Rose make Eriksen worse? I want specific examples, Gibbs. How does he do it?

You are incredibly dull. Never has ArcspacE ArcspacE called someone a gooner maggot troll and been so right.
