We need to educate Poch on how to get the best out of his existing squad. A few emails from Sammy and others should work the trick.
Refrain from squandering more money in January and instead use the funds to get the long overdue statue of Levy erected outside the stadium.
Would be a great focal point to bring all the fighting factions together.

Well as someone who spends a fair amount of his time near the depths of non-league football I will put this here as an accurate representation of how alive ENICs Spurs would be if they ever found themselves down there.........

I could literally pick a better 11 and tactics than Poch.
How?
I’d say “Harry, how do you and the lads want to play”.
And I’d listen to them.

If you were manager for the day, you’d play the diamond and tell the boys “sorry but you know that window in July 2018..? That’s why I’m playing a formation you hate and are shit at”

I’m going to shoot from the hip here and say that I think our poor form seems to have coincided with the demise and then sale of our Belgian Prince Dembele. We’ve huffed and puffed through many games since he went and I think that there was a lack of forward planning in relation to his successor.
I was a huge Moose fan and perhaps I’m looking at things through rosy coloured glasses but he played his last game for us last December and to my mind, our problem this calendar year has been not having anyone close to being able to what he did, & therefore trying new systems (that fucking diamond being one) to fill the hole he left.
We’ve tried a variety of DM alternatives and combinations, but it’s taking a long time to fill the boots of that giant of a man.
I don’t think it’s feasible to find another Moose. He really was one of a kind. We shot ourselves in the foot by not planning for his eventual departure.
lack of transfer activity & Poch trying to put square plugs in round holes caused this.
last night we saw something really special. Yes it was “only” Red Star Belgrade, but for the first time in a long time, we absolutely put the opposition to the sword with flowing and aggressive football.
would love us to really give it a go on Sunday against the dippers. The result is not as important as the performance. Nobody expects us to win. The dippers were even strong favourites to beat united at OT on Sunday. Not many teams down the years have been favourites away at OT.
Poch May just have found the answer...& that answer may well be not trying to shoehorn Eriksen into the team & the team looking shit whether Eriksen plays or not

This thread is based on the assumption that Poch isn't going anywhere for the foreseeable future and, for better or worse, we're stuck with him. This thread also assumes that there won't be any new signings in the January Transfer Window and again, for better or worse, the players we have are the ones who will be carrying our hopes for the season.

We need to get past the "waiting for something to happen" mindset and get behind the team. I don't know what we can expect from our current lot but, at this stage, I'll settle for our Premier League survival and anything else we get is a bonus.

Please don't post any negative comments about Poch or Levy here. That's not what this thread is about. This thread is about keeping our club alive; it doesn't matter if we go to the absolute depths of non-league football as long as we love our players and want them to win.

I'm happy for Poch to stay if he rediscovers his passion for the job and grows a set of testicles and is able to start making tough decisions and drop certain players.

But this shoehorning players in around "must plays" is doing nothing for us, him, or our players.

As I sit here watching Sheffield United outplaying Woolwich, I have to wonder if spending is not overrated. Especially when I see this 70 million pound Pepe miss a sitter. I get it that City and Liverpool are getting it right, but effort and teamwork are a big factor too.

Seriously miss the irreplaceable Dembele, what a great loss that basically occurred after that last ankle injury. He possessed amazing skills and delivered amongst quality opposition and seems to be more impressive the longer time goes by.
