The thing is , unlike many clubs , we have the resources to create a winning mentality but it doesn’t seem to be a priority hence my original point
Got sent off after 15 minutes IN the quarter final first leg and we lost 4-0That honour goes to Crouch.
* Scored the goal against City to get us into the CL league.
* Scored a hat trick against Young Boys to get us into the CL proper.
* Scored the goal to beat Ac Milan and get us through to the quarters.
I absolutely get that in the pl. Absolutely.He was involved in 36 games over 2 seasons and scored 2 league goals.
haha without him we didn't even get out of the group!
check the points and the scores at the group stage
the key to that one was Pavs 2nd goal away* Scored a hat trick against Young Boys to get us into the CL proper.
you were talking about CL but now changed the goalposts?a 34 year old striker who scored 3 goals in 2 years, yeah guess i'm crazy. I just think we shouldve aimed higher. But if you thought he was great then cool
He was a very difficult player to deal with late in the game, off the bench. That was his value.decent hold up player, but he was no kane, son, sala or mane. our squad decline during that period was ridiculous
Maybe he wanted to leave though, possibly wanted to start more games.I absolutely get that in the pl. Absolutely.
But in Europe there were several defences that couldnt handle him, esp the way we played to his strenghts. . Also created the key 3rd goal v Dotrmund.
Keeping him as a super sub made very good sense
yes good point I don't know his circsMaybe he wanted to leave though, possibly wanted to start more games.
you were talking about CL but now changed the goalposts?
yeah thats you to a tee mate

Umm, we do now, for sure - we didn't for the bulk of our time in the prem and I never see any pushback from you or many people about that very real, undisputable fact.
We are in a shit place right now - that's for sure - but I think the right manager changes that with the spine of players we have at the club right now.
If we go out on Thursday they ABSOLUTELY 10000% need to give the new coach some games this season to assess the squad,
There are unemployed candidates like Xavi and Terzic who we don’t need to wait for and most of the ones that we might deem worth waiting for won’t come to Spurs anyway.
You're the guy who runs around this forum defending Postecoglou!!changed the goal posts? only in your mind , i said the squad wasnt good enough, and neither was an aged out Llorente to win CL. his lack of end product is quite relevant.
ok if it makes you feel better he scored 3 goals in 16 CL games for us, wonderful record, talk about standards in the mud. FIVE goals in his entire spurs career of over 40 matches, Levy thanks you for this attitude greatly![]()
You're the guy who runs around this forum defending Postecoglou!!
Somewhat more material than Llorente !

Your first paragraph kind of confirms my point , we possibly didn’t as a club when we were peak Poch but we could have with ambitious owners
I don’t see much changing with a new manager , well definitely more of a clue tactics wise but the truly ambitious players will go leaving us with another rebuild , which is a situation we’ve been in for ages .
Your comments in response to someone saying Llorente was a good sub option (which he was) ends up being that he's essentially playing into Levy's hands by having such low expectations.LMAO, yeah im running around postecoglou because i don't agree with you, good stuff![]()
assists?ok if it makes you feel better he scored 3 goals in 16 CL games for us, wonderful record
i remember it, great goal.the key to that one was Pavs 2nd goal away
check it out, I think only Chivers and Kane couldve scored that one. Maybe Berbs too.
It isnt though - We had a core team of very ambitious players for ages - where is this narrative coming from?
Kane was with us for 10 years - he didn't just leave - Eriksen most supporters were mad that we didn't sell him sooner towards the end ofhis time here - Lloris? Vertonghen? Son?
Who are all these players you are talking about - since Bale/Walker I can barely think of one and every team loses one or two of their best players?
So are you saying 95% of our players were not truly ambitious?
