Real won't let him go now. He's shining for them. He turned us down anyway, which is a shame.

Because any criticism of our transfer policy means I should have to support another club, righto
Ah... I didn't properly elaborate... I meant it was more of a 'wasted' perfirmance rather than pointless...
When the keeper saves a Penalty and makes several other 'Worldies' you usually expect that to be rewarded with AT LEAST a draw (which may still not have been enough. . but at least keeps the interest going until the last game)
I think what I'm alluding to is that whenever an OPPOSING GK puts in THAT kind of performance, WE tend to write it off as "one of those games... we could play til midnight and nor score against them" etc etc...
...but as it was, a(nother) Worldie Lloris performance in this competirion yet again didn't get the result it deserved!
I know what you mean, when we Conceded the pen I thought it was night over, then lloris saved it and I thought maybe the footballing gods were on our side for once! I should have known better tho!
I guess this isn't how the spammers felt after the Kane goals the weekend!
Squad wise it was good, but not in terms of improving the first 11. I guess wanyama is an upgrade on a tired & out of form dier (who will come good again).
Even with injuries & chelsea coming up, poch didn't start any of the newbies.
I like the wanyama signing & think janssen will turn in to a handy back up for kane.
George shows glimpses of potential when he comes on.
But I don't expect janssen, george or sissoko to become regulars in the 1st 11.

All it does is put Lloris back in the shop window and add to the impending feeling that if he wants to turn those type of performances into winners medals he'll have to do it somewhere else.
FUCK... FUCK.... I'M TURNING INTO ONE OF THEM!!!
Clap, clap, clap, clap. Find a happy place.
Na. I felt exactly the same way last night. The way the rest of our team played, we don't deserve a player of Hugo's quality. And while it would be cool for him to stay, I feel like it's in his best interest to find a new club.
Just reread through this thread and the West Ham thread and you may change your mind as you're usually a rational poster!
Some of the melting has been ridiculous
Far more than just being concerned!
On the thread last night someone said that they were "dreading" the Chavs game!
FFS
I agree with you that our performances in the CL have been poor and I've been disappointed too
But
We have a young inexperienced side and have had a few key injuries, Toby, Harry etc and a relatively inexperienced coach
But we are 5th in the league, unbeaten and only 4 points off the top which could well be reduced to 1 after Saturday!
I'm happy with that as I recognise that we still aren't firing on all cylinders yet
But our team spirit is 2nd to none in the PL and am confident of a top 4 finish
I'm not accusing anyone in particular of melting but if the cap fits?
He also made the pass that put Son clean through on goal from which he shd have scored
Different game then and don't forget that cunt who stamped on Harry right in front of that cunt of a ref should have had a straight red!
Again a different game after that!
But on the night we were the poorer team
Can't argue with that
And don't forget the six goal humiliation at Man City
That era was awful so thank god for Poch
We are in with a big show in the PL and maybe bowing out of the CL will be a blessing in disguise.Just reread through this thread and the West Ham thread and you may change your mind as you're usually a rational poster!

We look like the 2014/2015,Spurs in almost every match lately, less the City game.
Poor passing accuracy in the final third and not closing down on the ball.
Last year we were the muggers, gaining possession of the ball with physical, near fouling type play. This season were on the other end of that beating stick.
No Toby, no Verts = defense opened like a can of peaches. Worst I've seen all year.
Thought Trippier was a bright spot, delivering some sweet crosses. The second Monaco goal wasn't his fault. The central attacker was ignored and he had to pinch in to cover, with no outside midfield help.
The rest of the team was shit, with the exception of that tall French guy in goal. What was was his name? God?

Dark days indeed.
Let's not be comparing us under Poch to last season AVB / Sherwood
Yes our current run of form is less than desirable but:
2013-14
Tottenham Hotspur 0 – 3 West Ham United
Manchester City 6 – 0 Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur 0 – 5 Liverpool
Tottenham Hotspur 1 – 5 Manchester City
Chelsea 4 – 0 Tottenham Hotspur
Liverpool 4 – 0 Tottenham Hotspur
West Ham United 2 – 0 Tottenham Hotspur
The 'squad' is not good enough, yet.
We have 11 players who on their day are a great team. They can't play every single game- like some were crying out for, you'll get fatigue and injuries -like a lot on here blame Poch's training for...so he's damned if he runs them into the ground and cunted when he doesn't.
Just open up the eyes and be objective. CCV, Winks, Onomah, Nkoudou, Janssen, Wimmer, Trippier and even Dele (despite people thinking a kid with one season under his belt has made it) are not yet good enough. They are not yet even proven experienced PL players.
Nothing to do with Poch not handling big squads or training them too hard.
I have said many times he was brought here to do a job that was to use the academy and build squad for the future. On a limited wage bill and finances due to the obvious. Similar to southampton.
It's ok saying 'if we can spend £30m on this player, then why not..' yet the the player has to accept our wage structure and want to come here.
I think a lot of people got carried away and thought our squad was the bollocks and we were going to wipe the floor with Bayer, Moncaco and CSKA whilst challenging for the title.
It's a work in progress.
I think there are 3 players who need to go from our team and be replaced. They are 3 of our senior players.
The rest I think we can build on.

Honestly, the investing wasn't the problem this summer, the recruiting was. Get a DoF in, I'm becoming increasingly reluctant to trust Poch with money
