----------------------------------------------------------------------
fair assessment
What boggles my mind is how a month ago we were 8 points clear and now we are level on points. What's happened that we have went off the boil so badly? Aside from the Stoke game I think we have dropped points in every away game since Sunderland. Have we became complacent or is it simply fatigue?
Fatigue? our limit? Would love for us to have a close to perfect season - but I really think this team is doing the best, or very close to, as it can. The time when we were 8 points clear - we looked formidable - but that was always going to reduce. No way we could have kept that up.
When on the attack you are as good as anyone, Hazard is an exceptional player.
We are used to not doing too well against the top sides, however I think Pochettino has not got the guys believing in themselves and also our 3 session training schedules are showing results, especially in the last quarter of games.
We are still well behind you guys, but another couple of additions and I think we could be real challengers for the PL. However this is Spurs and we know things could change!!!
Can someone please advise me of the point of Ramires

Originally to replace Essien's dynamism in the 4-3-3. Ever since we switched to 4-2-3-1 he hasn't quite found his rhythm.
I really like him as a player. I remember changing my username on the original 606 to reflect the fact he had my support during that awkward first six months. But I don't see where he fits in with this squad right now unfortunately.
Salah...pointless completely pointless
--------------------------------------------------------
Yep. Everything about that transfer was pointless. Mourinho has previous with this. While his identifying of critical first team and squad players has gotten better over time, he has this tendency of buying players for the pure sake of occupying squad space (reinforces the argument that he doesn't give youth the nod).
Dunno what the point of Jarosik was. Same with Mariga at Inter & Sahin at Real, etc... contribute nothing except taking a squad number.

Salah definitely has the talent - probably lacking in other departments to win first spot - is a player that can get Willian or Schrule performing well due to him starring over their shoulders. Although that has not worked this term
it was a combination of various factors and the fact that we have been suspect away from home recently.
no rotation mean fatigue, tired legs etc.. our defence was inexistent, in particular Ivanovic and Cahill had mares and it showed Spurs had 8 shots on target of which 5 were goals.
If the season ended now, hypothetically, who would win the league?
I can see his logic in theory. They're all players who excel in one specific aspect of their position that the squad as a whole lacks, trouble is they never end up getting game time for him. I was fooled by the first three, knew Salah was a waste though

It would be a play off on a neutral ground! Probably Villa Park.......
So city and Chelsea are joint top!
No idea why Willian gets a regular starting the place, does fack all most of the time

They were saying the same on talkshite today....
Azpi got found out? News to me.
Townsend never at one point have the beating of Azpi, in control of every single 1 on 1 duel.
Dealt with collective situations appropriately too.
