Overplayed due injuries and squad depth. Now out of form.

Exactly the same as last year at this point in the season.

Not going to watch that happen twice and point the finger at Pedro for having the discipline and professionalism to stay fit when others can’t. Maybe the club could… I don’t know, sign a fucking left back so Djed can rotate with Porro.

Maybe Frank could play VDV at LB for one game to give Porro half a breather

At any sensible club he'd be in a straight fight with Porro for the RB slot rather than being played out of position at LB, and this would motivate both to battle hard to get that starting slot, leading to an improvement in both players physically and mentally

But this is Spurs and we dont do sensible, so instead Porro plays whatever his form is like, and Spence has to play at LB because the club refuse to sign another leftback, promote yoof, use Micky there, or even Davies. So we end up with both flanks looking wank with an RB who cant defend and an LB who is actually an RB therefore cant cross with his left

Only Spurs

110%.

I'd phone Amorim up first thing in the morning, see if he wants to reunite with his former protégé. Give us 30-40mil and he's yours tomorrow.

Woolwich, Liverpool, Chelsea...they know what they're doing, we couldn't fool them. And obviously Pep hates him so City is a no-go. Not even sure Villa or Newcastle would take him. That cunt thinks he's better than Cafu ever was, so wouldn't go there anyway.

Try Barcelona, Atletico, Bayern, AC, Juve, Inter...

Fuck him. Utter prick and shit footballer.

Jokes aside. I Know he's better than he looks right now been managed horribly and its to his credit that he is always available to play. But he is one of those footballers who have a bit of flash and bang. Good shot long pass cross...but is so manifestly bad at the basics of the position he plays he will be a long term deficit. He'll never be part of a title challenging team in the Premier league never.

All he's doing at present is stalling any progress Spence can still make. He will have people who buy into the attitude the occasional crashing goal or ping of a cross but he HAS TO GO if we are to progress. He can't mark let's players run off him poor in the tackle and can't head a ball he'll never be an elite fullback and Pep knew it.
 
seen a lot of moaning on youtube about Porro's crossing of the ball
one thing they speak about is the position that Richy (our CF ) takes up, most times a ball is crossed in Richy is at the far side of the goal,as if he is hopeing that Both CH's miss judge the flight of the ball or its too high for them, and if by magic that happens he will be in the right place, he is rarely between or in front of the CH's, he rarely makes a dummy run to move the CH's
so yes maybe Porro's crosses are poor or maybe the CF could do more to be in the right place
 
If you look past the obvious of Bissouma maybe Davies then Porro should be first out the door. Crap defender, doesnt contribute going forward anymore but most of all i cant stand his surly attitude. Seems more bothered about performative nonsense with the fans than what he does on the park.
 
He’s actually so average. Used to score a banger every now and then.

Nowadays, he can’t even stick to his position. No pace, can’t tackle, can barely cross. What is the point? Bit of passion? Sell sell sell.
 
His form has been horrendous recently. I've got time for him in general because he's got great technical ability, but if he's stinking it up like he has been recently then it's time to give him some time off and maybe consider cashing in if a decent enough offer comes in.
 
He was terrible first half, absolutley shot away. If somebody is that short of confidence and clearly doesn't have their head in the right space that should be identified by the manager and he should be dropped. Particularly with how toxic it is at home.

I actually thought he was a bit better in the second half but then gets taken off and Spence ambles on and plays like a cunt when everyone else was really trying everything to get back into the game.

He's not as bad as he has been this season, he needs dropping for his own good for a few games.
