Every season we miss out by a couple of points - we need to stop dropping points against shit teams in order to rectify that. As it stands, we're on 2 points out of a possible 9. The reason for this is down to a combination of poor management and a lack of investment.
Playing with two CDM's is fine. But as it stands, we haven't got any players that are CDM's. They're just CM's and a CB who are being told to do a job that doesn't come naturally to them. If you want to play with two CDM's then they need to be chasing the ball down, putting players under pressure constantly, intercepting the ball, making tackles and distributing the ball accurately from the back. That isn't happening as evidenced by the fact that we've been pegged back in our own half for the majority of the first three games.
Fuck having two CDM's. We need another striker up front. Anyone with half a brain can see that we look like complete shit with the current system.
I fucking hate it when Pochettino talks about his 'philosophy'. Tottenham play attacking football. We've always done it. How the fuck are we supposed to do that when we only have ONE STRIKER and start games with Erik Lamela? It's a load of fucking shit.
