So you now think Kane is shit and you wonder why I didn't bother trying to address it!
Have another read of mine and you might learn something but I'm not counting any chickens!

Im talking about the new signings...I think it says a lot about Chadli when most people would be happy to drop him for players they´ve never seen play.
No, I'm not saying Kane is shit. I'm trying to show you your own hypocrisySo you now think Kane is shit and you wonder why I didn't bother trying to address it!

Well he did put one onto Alderwiereld's head that Howard savedMason was quality yesterday, but as mentioned needs to work on his finishing and his corners, beat the first bloody man son
Pochettino out
It doesn't say shit about Chadli, but speaks volumes about the stupidity of said people.
The discussion about if his 'only goals and assists' should get him a place in the team is stupid, cause he offers so much more. Second best AM defensively after Dembele, more of a presence in the box on set pieces, and has been our most consistent threat in space - helping us stretch defenses.
And why discuss this now? In the first half against Everton he was the best player out there, the man behind most of what we created. Second half he had a couple of not so good involvements, but still one of the better players.
Its not stupidity, its the hope that for once our signings are an improvement. Isnt that the point?
When your competition is Townsend and Lamela, you are going to stand out.
Why now? Because next game we have two new players who Id rather see play than Chadli.
He played well yesterday......as I said, thats what he does when the team plays well.
But when we are struggling to break a team down he wont make the difference, or take it upon himself to go and win a game. He´s a passenger, who has good attributes, but no more than that.
Id be happy to see in the next game:
............Bentaleb...............Dier............Dembele
Njie.......................................................................Son
.......................................Kane
Why is that stupid? How many chances does Chadli create for Kane? Fuck all is how many.
Maybe its stupid to want a midfield that actually plays to the strengths of our 30 goal striker, rather than one that leaves him isolated for so long..
He created one of Kane's two big chances yesterday. Not unusual for him to create and don't get credit.
He scored at 0-0 against Stoke, and assisted Alli for the 0-1 at Leicester.
The only thing you're slightly right about, when it comes to Chadli, is that he is a more standout player when the team as a whole does well. That has to do with him being a disciplined team player, who performs his duties. He isn't our main playmaker or creator, if we can't set him up in decent positions he might seem invisible.
He didn't have the best start to the season - seemed a bit rusty - but yesterday he was back to being one of our best players, and he's by far the least of our worries amongst the front four.
Mensa hope you're alive
Mason was quality yesterday, but as mentioned needs to work on his finishing and his corners, beat the first bloody man son
Pochettino out
We hardly beeat the first man at corners no matter who takes them, something Spursy.
Pochettino in
Indeed. If they can't get better at corners they might as well let the opposition have a goal kick. We'd probably be more effective from that anyway.
Were you watching the game then. How many of Mason's corners did not clear the first man? We had 3 corners mate.Yeh I can never figure how a top level player struggles to lift the ball, I can do that and hit it pretty hard as well. Most other teams lift the ball from corners. Maybe our trainings is fucked up.
Mason: I'm going to take the corner.
Poch: make sure you hit it low and at the first defender so he can clear it back to our defence.
Mason: don't really need most of our defence up for this corner then.
Poch: we do so we can fool the opposition into thinking we are going to take a proper corner.
Mason: ah right get it, shit corner then build from the back.
Poch: exactly!

I remember his taking two that cleared the first man,, one at my end, that Alderweireld nearly scored from.
Eriksen don't do any better does he?
Sorry then xxThat was kind of my point Spurs players in general are bad at corners. I remember reading that a season ago we had the worse coversion rate stats of any prem team. This wasn't directly aimed at Mason just our general approach to corners and yes Eriksen probably is worse, I'd love to know how many corners he has mis-hit.
Also we have scored 50% of our goals from corners this seasonThat was kind of my point Spurs players in general are bad at corners.
