Nope, that's why i said they came to see Sonny. But like Jesus, i'm not bothered how they came to follow, just that they do.You think they care how we played? They support Son, not Tottenham. They won't even bother watching the 2nd leg if Son isn't playing.
Changed my mind , I say start him against Chelsea , they have a team full of youngsters any way, also start Lamela and Ndombele as wellWe have one striker available, an 18 year old lad who has hardly played football this season.
Yeah it is annoying, but when ex pros make comments on second rate pay per view TV aimed at the US market my only question is whether I should start listening or stop picking my nose.BT pundits, even Hoddle were shithouse tonight.
No Kane, no Sissoko, No Son, Lamela could only help for 20 minutes, the same with Ndombele, we had 2 full days to recover and get 2 full days before we go again. You'd think ex pros like Lineker, Hoddle and Ferdinand would have a little empathy but it seems they went the snide route because we didn't make the most of a couple of decent chances and gave away a sloppy, individual mistake with the pen.
This one is far from over based on a few areas I saw this evening. Really unimpressed with BT and I think Mourinho was as well.
We lost Kane SEVEN weeks ago. Levy had FOUR weeks to rectify the situation.We'll have to see it differently then Bill. Losing Kane and Son within weeks of each other was a sickener. Son scored 6 in 5 building up to this game and we were averaged 2.5 goals a game for the last 5 fixtures. It's brutal we lose both for most if not all of the campaign it's shit luck.
People have to accept that Levy hasn't been the stingy person people apparently want him to be to prove a point. I bet there ain't too many teams who have spent as much as we have in the last 7-8 months it's just a killer of a blow but we move on.
Yeah, but those hands aren't behind their backs so they have an advantage over most. --Levy logic.Poch & Jose trying to navigate a Spurs team through Europe
Everyone apart from Stevie Wonder. Both of them.Who would’ve thought a squad without a proper number nine would back fire? :mourbringit:
Exactly. That's why I'm all in for giving time to players that can be top tier in Europe, and very reluctant to pushing likes of Aurier. Still, Winks, Davies can be useful squad players, but even if we are out of our problems and set things running as we want, Aurier is going to be weak spot. Some bad decisions, some mistouches and the trouble is there, even if he can contribute to our game, like today.We dont have the players Liverpool have now. 3 Seasons ago they looked just like us. It took time to reach the heights they have. Davies and Aurier aren't League winning material. Hopefully Lamela and Ndombele are in the clear. We need patience. And we need to stop expecting overnight changes to bring success. We not a City, United, Liverpool or Chelsea that spends huge money on buying the best. We've bought what can be moulded to be the best.
Who both Poch and Jose say isn’t ready yet
They played us off the park mate.I agree with Mourinho, I'm proud of the players tonight, we dug in and defended well against a very good side.
We gave it a good go and we are still clinging on in the tie by our finger nails.
The crowd was good as well.
I can see a lot of positives, and I can see us becoming a little bit more resilient every game.
I suppose the doom and gloom merchants will be all over that performance/result, but I don't see it that way
COYS!
That's a birthing joke that happens during prolonged delivery for our Jaffa colleagues out there.That's what happens when they have to suction cup the head.
I guess... Man City? :mourbringit:Who would’ve thought a squad without a proper number nine would back fire? :mourbringit:
When our manager's get fucked in the arse every transfer window what do you expect?Well, that was yet another masterclass of being fucked in the arse we all had to endure.
Kane is walking fine here, I say start him against Chelsea!
We lost Kane SEVEN weeks ago. Levy had FOUR weeks to rectify the situation.
I seem to remember you and others who have since rowed back on their original standpoint saying mid January that it would be unforgiveable if we didn't bring in a striker in the transfer window.
At what point did it turn out to be just bad luck, hey-ho?
Even Mark Twain would've struggled in HTMLThe tie being just 0-1 means we have a fighting chance.
We've all seen red cards, penalties, counter attacks, goals off of people's arses change games. We go to Germany with plenty of hope, especially based on that last 30 minutes or so. Onto Chelsea now, its uphill but we don't have a chance if we all start getting sulky with the situation, it is what it is
Look who was bought by Barca and UTD. There was simply no reasonable 9 to buy. Piątek and this Spanish one weren't great options. I got on hype train during window, but honestly, bench warmer from La Liga side?When our managers get fucked in the arse every transfer window what do you expect?
Imagine this....Not sure if I'm getting the point I'm making across... I'm talking about losing Kane & Son is a killer blow, not just Kane.
I said at the time and I stand by it that we should have signed a striker, it just made sense to but not a short term solution for an over inflated fee. If offered Willian Jose for £25m and having £25m less for a more long term option to utilise I would rather we had waited and used that money to do so. Obviously losing Son means it's a risk that has massively backfired but I understand why the club did so, it's just blown up in our faces.
Yes we should have signed someone but with Bergwijn coming in I saw the need as less important than it was early doors in the window. Obviously with hindsight my view has altered with Sonny now done but as I said Bill it is what it is.
Obviously didn't bring his boots tonight. WTF Attitude?Phew! I was like, "why you giving them a pizza?!!"
God bless, Greavesie.
