Yes the money we have it's stupid but is that pinned to Poch?

Personally I only blame 1 person for us now being mid-table team.

Adebayor, Capoue, Dembele, stambouli all never made the squad and prob hitting £50m on them lot

+ £30m on Lamela & £16m on paulinho is another £46m wasted.

Poch is trying to weed out the cráp and bring through the youngsters - team age today was 24.

Future could be bright if we play the patience game right now!

I had the same thoughts at first until I saw his repeated mistakes and cast my mind back to last season when his southampton side fell away badly towards the end of the season (does that ring a bell) and gave away a 2-0 lead at our place.

I wont call for him to be sacked because you may well be right but should I really have faith in somebody who picks Lamela to start tonight and brings Paulinho on when we desperately need a goal.

Two simple questions, would you have picked that team today? would you have made the same subs today?

I know the answers to those questions already and you are not a pro manager

Spurs are a lot better than midtable
----------------------------------------------------------------------

are west brom in the bottom half? Did they beat us at our own ground?

How about Stoke where are they?

On that performance we are mid table at best




Haven`t Spurs beat West Ham, Southampton, Everton all teams that above midtable, and drawn at Arsenal.

True but lets be honest how many of those games did we deserve to win? even Everton done enough for a point on Sunday

I'd pick 10 out of 11 players

And would also subbed 2 of the same players on

Look forward to seeing how good Kane and Bentaleb can be.

Btw formation wise was exactly the same 4411 with Lamela behind Kane, Lennon right and Eriksen left

Yes and chances are my choices would have been the same as yours but the performance showed his wrong team selection (yet again) he is being paid a lot of money to get it right and today yet again he got things wrong.

I am not saying we would not still have lost but his selection was poor and thats exactly why my patience is wearing a bit thin

All of them, Spurs were well worth their wins, Southampton were poor, Spurs were far better than Everton, who apart from the game never threated the Spurs goal, and even the West Ham game played with 10 men for long periods, before it was evened up and Spurs grabbed the winner.

You may as well say did Arsenal deserve to win tonight, did Liverpool deserve to win last night both finished games against 10 men.

On paper it was but tell me that it worked out on grass? Lamela was everywhere but where we needed him he simply does not have the brains to do what MP asked him to do. Now thats questionable management and you know it

Both played well tonight.

Both played well tonight.
---------------------------------------------------------------

No both worked extremely hard neither done anything special

@HotspurRelated: Commentator confirms this is the youngest Tottenham Hotspur line up in the league in over six years. #THFC

Time to move on

but chiriches was after coming off injured a couple of days back?

You know what I am saying and you know I am right and YET AGAIN MP's team selection and substitutions are extremely dubious and questionable

No you're not right as it's an opinion thus isn't fact.

What's vlad got to do with different players that may or may not be fit or able to play 90 mins?

Some times selections work (Everton) and sometimes they don't (Chelsea)

We have a young squad and there will be ups and downs, good results and bad results all season.

yeah we have a very young team… tonight was a steep learning curve for some of them… take it on the chin and move on. big game on saturday

A young squad yes. A faaacking expensive one too

Yep flashy but most of the expensive buys are the ones that need shipping out.

We are a team that needs to rebuild..

I was happy as a pig in sheet when we were splashing that £100m. Back to the drawing board...again.
