Perhaps that’s why our team always seem to have long term injuries these days!
Exactly.
It really doesn't matter what I think in your world. If you can turn my post stating "I love Lucas" into I'm "slagging him off" because I happen to think Kane is a better than him then knock yourself out, fill your proverbial boots and dream up whatever words you want to put into my mouth.

It clearly does matter because you answered 15 posts some of them with 800 word answers but none of them can you say “I think Poch was wrong (or right) to drop Moura for Dele and Eriksen so often this season”
Avoiding the question on the basis it wasn’t the first thing we talked about (while happily answering three times about Trippier who came into it even later) is just baseless, crass and in itself, tells me everything I need to know on the subject.
If you supported the decision, you’d be more than happy to laud Poch for it.
Disagreeing with him doesn’t come as easily for you though.
So you make lots of pointless posts like the one above.

I like your positivity but why is Poch the best man to rebuild?
If anything his transfers overall have not been great and the core of the team has remained the same. Bringing new blood into the team is not something he has particularly excelled at.
Whether that is partly the fault of our internal transfer policy is debatable too.
Ultimately it comes down to what Levy really wants.
Top 7? Top 4? To win the league? And does that equate to what Poch wants?
Transition periods are strange things.
United won multiple trophies over two decades. Ongoing transition when you think about it. City seem to have this knack as well. Adding and losing players in a non fanfare way. Liverpool will need to replace key players over next two seasons. See how a Klopp does.
But us, United, Woolwich and Chelsea are in similar situations. Our current squads are not really working and need a big fix. And Whoever does this best will be the main top 4 contenders. And I’m not 100% convinced Poch knows how to
He started 25 games last season in the Premier League. So approx 2/3 of them.
That’s not a fair crack of the whip??
The fact people act like he’s always a sub says a lot about the impact he has when starting.
Read my posts again mate, I have told you more than once. I was debating with two other posters about whether Kane should have started over Lucas, then you pop into the mix with shite about Eriksen and Dele over Lucas. Had you have not then gone down the route of making up shit you may well have got an answer.
Because of that, I see no reason why I should entertain you. Childish? Maybe but it's my prerogative
I've known you a long time on here mate, sometimes we agree other we disagree, on the whole, I feel both of us have batted quite straight with a bit of passion and humour over the years but when you go down the line of making shit up it kind of renders the topic pointless.
More than happy to continue on other topics (I don't hold any grudges unlike some other cunts on here) but on this one I'm out. I feel that's a fair response.
Im gonna put that into perspective.
Of the 57 games Spurs played last season, Moura played 90 minutes 16 times.
He played less than 45 minutes 11 times.
The rest was somewhere in between so it’s difficult to find his stride especially when outplaying the teachers pets doesn’t earn you game time anyway.
He was also used in five different roles
RW, LW, AM, CF and second striker

And yet again it doesn’t wash because despite you discussing Moura and Kane with two other posters, and despite me hate crashing the party and talking about Trippier, you were more than happy to address Trippier.
Completely off topic, but you had no problem jumping all over it.
It’s a bit ridiculous to claim this is some kind of moral crusade:
I WILL NOT DEVIATE FROM THE TOPIC
But you have.....just of the stuff you feel comfortable talking about.
Just been hooked at HT when 1-0 down to Sevilla and his replacement has provided the assist for the equaliser.
Top managers make the right subs
What position does Poch play?
Aha! The nepotism rears its ugly head!
Sounds more and more like the Trump administration.
Mainly as a false 1.
He’s making the Pardew role his own
The fucking table looks grim tonight. 11 cunting points behind Chelsea. A couple of months back, fearing a string of humiliating results, I said Poch would be gone by the end of October. And here we are. Fiddling while Rome fucking burns.
"It's important not to put too much responsibility on the new signings," he says. "They have come to give the team certain qualities, but of course we also understand that they are young players who have to adapt, and who, in Lo Celso and Ndombele's cases, have come from abroad, from different leagues. The priority is adaption more than performance.
"There's a lot of pressure for them but there are a lot of examples of young players, like Son and like many others, who have needed a season or a season-and-a-half in order to perform at the level that we want. These three players are not going to be the exceptions. They are not that."
