Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
exactly, Louis Van Gaal's 8 games have been slightly easier that Poch's the only stinker was West Brom
Seriously whats the point!!!! leave it until May
This early on our Football can only be judged in real time. How the coach has us playing, how the players are performing and are we improving etc....? How many wins over a few games are irrelevant if many other factors are not taken into account, opposition , ref decisions, injuries, EL games and so on. Human evolution had less permutations .
Statistics only reflect the past. We need to look forward.

Statistics are meaningless at this stage of the season. A more reasonable guide would be after 19 games as a *gauge* of progress. Even then, it is vital we remember Poch is 'building' his team. This will take time and patience - he hasn't got the luxury of £200m transfer pot like Utd. I am confident by the end of the season we will see a side playing in his style (the early signs are there), I just hope Levy backs him if he feels we need to bring 1 or 2 players in the next transfer window.
Thing is even if Levy doesn't back him with signings - he's not going to back any other manager......at least until the stadium is built.
Changing managers combined with high transfer spend can get results - Chelsea prove that. But we aren't going to spend heavily.....The only chance of any improvement on the pitch is stability and getting a settled balanced team together.

I'm going to judge based on where we are at the end of the year. It makes no sense to judge any sooner.
Where is Gross / Ramos / Santini?
Or did you just want to make Poch look like the worst?
Poor trolling from Mr Fact!
As everyone else has said. So early it's meaningless. A couple of wins and suddenly OMGZ BEST MANAGER EVER!
Nah, the melt nature of the whining of the fan base is really bothering me. Too many people bleating and moaning about too many different things. At this point I like cheering for Poche and the squad because they piss so many of our own fans off.
haha no you are right, I was loving Kaboul and Jan as they had a miraculous 2 games running they played well, god knows why he changed it
Anyways your post is the perfect summation of the season so far, no point anyone posting until the end of the next game
Living in Canada, it's rather expensive to regularly do that. The fans are more an online issue. Too many people buying into various media agendas and then perpetuating that bullshit as if it was a personal cause. They should just go pick a different team. Liverpool seems more to their tastes.
That was first class, sirI do wonder if levy forcing the players to work on the foundations of the new stadium is tiring the lads out . No other manager has had his squad moonlighting on a building site before
Spurs are a point ahead of last season when you compare identical matches...
Tottenham Hotspur Premier League Points Won 1992-93 to 2014-15
Sherwood watching games from the stands was un-fucking-acceptable.
1 in 3 people takes offence at this statement.
Is that another term for cunt?
That's a tad unfair of you - I'm always happy to discuss anything about Spurs or football in general.
The fact remains that a certain section of Spurs fans were dead against Sherwood from the start and they used anything they could find to undermine him.
Where he sat, what he wore & his lack of qualifications became far more important to these "fans" than the results he achieved on the pitch.
But the inconvenient fact remains that Sherwood has the best League record of any Spurs manager since the club joined the Football League in 1908.
And all this without the benefit of a pre-season to sort-out tactics or bring-in players he may have wanted.
ochfacepalm:
Cheers MFF. I'm waiting till Hallow'een before I start the 'clueless Tim' and the 'Prince of Pressing' comparisons.
But I will say now if Tim had had the win % Poch has in the Prem, I think he would be getting a lot rougher ride than Mr P has had so far. Sherwood was never given a chance by many Spurs fans and I'm still fuming over his treatment on various forums by many posters.
