Thing is, why does EVERY team we come up against seem to want to work that little bit harder?

AVB out
AVB got this game all wrong.
WTF... crossing when there's a diminutive striker playing?!
FFS ... you don't cross in such situations ... you pass it nice low to the byline.
Where in the world was the crossing when Soldado played?
I mean, almost every single one of us knew that we needed width and to spread the ball.... yet,
AVB waits freakin 65 minutes to make that change.
Oh ... and Eriksen is good but he freakin needs time too.
In the mean time, we already have a wonderful and capable player who can fit that role AND is really gelled in: Holtby!
Plus it feels like that season after season, we always tend to lose right before the international break.
Oh well, we have this boring ass break now ... so things better be fixed up. Plus Soldado isnt called up, so he better start scoring too because he's gonna have a nice long time to get up to speed.
All in all ... shit performance and now we are 6th.
Sometimes you get it right but sometimes you get it wrong ...

I remember after going out of the europa league last year I let loose at the likes of Adebayor amongst others and was neg repped and told 'supporting spurs is not about winning' suddenly all those pathetic cunts seem to have vanished and now we've got knee jerky wankers in their place 
6 goals in 7 games..I'm starting to get worried
know wear knot. twatcunt
West ham dared us to go up the wing and cross the ball into the box
Siggy on the left for that ? Pointless
Defoe in the middle ? Good luck
West Ham got their tactics perfect today. A bit surprised AVB didn't see that and adjust quickly. Really, his lack of a timely adjustment is a bit of a negative for AVB. Still love the man, but an opportunity to address nonetheless

Entitled to your opinion but I really hope you're trolling haha. AVB is the right man for the job
And AVB needs to make a decision on Paulinho OR Dembele. Pick one.
The partnership really isn't working so far for me

tbh not putting away Chelsea in the first half last week really fucked us up. If we had of won that, our confidence may have been enough to get us over the line or a loss may not have been as detrimental as we would have had the points on the board
We've been riding our luck, a few narrow victories have hidden that - but overall we are a struggling side who can't score against anyone any good - tactics are abysmal - hence the AVB out rant - the guy needs to get a grip - don't drop your 26 million pound striker cos Defoe (can't score when it matters) has a bit of form against b-sides
Problem is that with the tightly packed midfield that AVB likes to play you can't have strikers like either Defoe or Soldado because both need service from the wings as much as from a compact midfield. But they aren't getting it at all. I think it would be better for Soldado at least if Adebayor was playing just behind him, especially when you consider the way Adebayor tends to drop back into the park. With Ade supposedly being eager to come back and prove himself maybe this is the perfect time to try two strikers out.
Why is Sandro not starting games?
Because no one seems to remember how awesome his partnership with Dembele was last year before he got injured. Honestly those two were pretty much untouchable in the Premiership up to December. I just cant work it out. Surely Dembele/Paulinho, Sandro/Capoue and Eriksen/Holtby are the 6 playing for 3 roles and its obvious which ones should be playing?? Or am I being stupid?
We jam packed our midfield with tanks; Sandro, Dembele, Paulinho, Capoue when we needed someone who could provide a little more creativity and a wiser choice would have been Mkhitaryan instead of (one of) Capoue/Paulinho and i'm glad to see Defoe get a start because honestly speaking Soldado has been quite disappointing both in terms of what he's offered so far and his overall effort.
That's a fucking great point
But we've been solid at the back.....
