Not really interested in comparing to Poch. That was a good time long gone.

Ange himself said we were poor in the first half, as many of us pointed out on the match thread.

I’m very happy with where we are right now. The question is can we finally push on from this position or will we level out and our sole ambition be fourth?

It will take some quality additions in the summer, not just youth players and opportunistic loans. Are richarlison and Werner good enough for a title challenge or do we need to invest in ready quality?

What does this club want? Just profiteering from cl qualification or actually try to compete for honours?

I’m not sure I know the answer to that question, but the summer will give us some insight

Everyone tells me levy has put us in a fantastic financial position due to ffp. Well let’s see us take advantage of it and win something.

Why do you need everyone to tell you? Are you not capable of working it out for yourself?

Ok I'll start. The inverted fullbacks are a fashionable thing I'm not a fan of. It suits Porro well but I think Udogie is better out wide, and generally, I think the reason those players are fullbacks is because that's their strength. They're failed wingers most of the time right? Pochettino never had Kyle Walker in midfield did he? Madness

We win, it’s great.

We lose, it’s “part of the process” it’s injuries, it’s suspensions, it’s a young team, it’s a trillion different excuses.

so what would you prefer the atmosphere to be like on the board?

we win - ehhh whatever comes talk to me when you've won something, I don't care that we've won

we lose - what a faaacking disaster, I'm sick of this team. "I'm done" as you said last week

that sounds lovely, I can see why you'd prefer that to people enjoying wins and keeping perspective when we lose

I’ve made my point, you either understand what I’m trying to say or you don’t.

I’m not repeating myself anymore and I ‘m not answering anyone’s f*cking questions.

Move on.

Udogie has done a lot of good work in the midfield area. His goal against Newcastle comes to mind

Come now, you were so close to actually talking about football rather than just crying about what other people talk about. Make Pochettino proud, make an actual contribution to the forum

Yeah definitely, I thought that as I hit send. He's an awesome young player and I think the system we're playing is working generally.

It's just my preference really, growing up playing as a fullback I have a kind of fondness for it. But also it seems very exploitable. Brentford gave us nightmares in those spaces, and United..

(I only did it to try and get sizzle to actually explain what he doesn't like about how we're playing and that and he's filtered me now so it was a wasted effort. I love BigAnge, I think the football is fantastic and I just love his approach and he seems like a lovely man in general even if his name isn't Pochettino)

Oh I see he also called Ace abusive. That might be fair enough tbf. I'll not take it personally though. Pochettino

So are we back to Bissouma and Sarr starting in midfield for the next game?

Our best starting 11 keeps having slight alterations from week to week.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's where AussieGlue earns his salary.
Should depend upon how the players are doing in practice.
E.g., I would not be surprised to see Draguisin start in place of Porro next match....
Porro picked up a hard ankle knock and Draguisin ain't going to be happy on the bench.
Midfield.... Saar, Bissouma, Bentancur, Maddison
and up front.. .. Richarlison, Son.

Now that leaves us without speedsters on the wings, Johnson and Werner.
So..... who knows?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Dragusin isn’t a RB.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Has played such, don't you know?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For idiots who do not know their own players.....

Radu Matei Drăgușin is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur and the Romania national team. Mainly a centre-back, he can also be deployed as a right-back.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
can you call someone an idiot who doesn't know football because they haven't read Wikipedia like you?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes!

Because if you knew the payer's transfer news, you'd know he can play RB.
You only go to Wikipedia to educate the ignorant who nevertheless in their ignorance proffer opinions.

To be fair, it's not helpful to call someone an idiot every time they get something wrong. Your username would be Idiot, Ted

Its not that they get something wrong...its that they contradicted something that was right!!

If you contradict something...check the damned thing first, that's common sense wouldn't you think, Bales??
