I have met loads of TFC posters over the years but there are still a few i need to tick off includingTottenham Sean and
Joe Clash among others.
No idea, but it always cheers me up when I see a post from
I was a bit unconvinced at the time and thought it stupid, but are people really still going on about this today?
Fine if he got injured, but he didnt.
At least everyone now knows he's not suffering from fatigue, so thats a good
And now everyone knows Winks, Rose and Lloris were.
I actually didn’t mind him as a boxing commentator, switching to football full time was a horrible decision
Oh, there was me thinking that rotation was common against 4th division opposition in the 3rd round of the FA Cup.
Didnt realise if they werent fatigued we would have gone full strength last night, silly me.
Rose has been rotated all season.
And Lloris? Really? Come on now
:gallas:
Just as absurd as saying a 15 minute run out of the lowest intensity football against a League Two side 0-6 down proves a player wasn't tired after 4 games in 10 days last week.
And as absurd as claiming someone has been suffering from fatigue for the last two months but never ever thinking they should be given a day off, and continuing to defend playing them every single game for absolutely no reason.
If I think Kane is fatigued, then Id think Poch is careless. There is no fatigue management without rest.
You don't see yesterday as a rest for Kane?
Who claimed they've been suffering from fatigue for the last 2 months?
Or that he played clever by
1- allowing Kane to get on and get another goal to add to his tally
2- demonstrating that he is taking the cup seriously- a criticism that has repeatedly been levelled at him about disrespecting the “lesser” trophies
3- a LOT of Tranmere fans (including posters on here) were looking forward to seeing Harry, Dele etc play live at their ground. And rightly so. No different than our fans looking forward to seeing players like Messi against us. Football fans want to see the biggest and the best playing live without doing the shameless tourist thing.
I can absolutely see why Poch made the decision to give Harry a run out. I don’t necessarily agree with it because there was no reason at all to risk an injury to him with a game that we had already won long before he came on, but there are legitimate reasons why he made the decision.
What turning up for a 7 hour coach ride, sitting outside in 4 degrees, coming on and playing football, going home on the coach for 7 hours, getting to bed at 4am, and then training today?
Not really.
Id say rest would be sitting at home with your missus and kids and going to bed at 9 o clock if you want
Not a coach journey! On like, one of those really luxurious coaches Spurs have? Like bare legroom and a physio?
If they had 14 hours on a coach yesterday, that probably means they didn't have a full training session as they would normally. So those 15 mins + warm up/warm down were all the exercise he did yesterday. Whilst sitting in a luxurious coach for the rest of the day?
Nah, that's not a rest in Kane's world.
Was last night better for fatigue than staying home all night?
If staying home wasnt a better treatment, then clearly fatigue has little effect and shouldnt be used as an excuse when we lose.
It'll be used as an excuse if I see it's relevant.
I've actually only used it for 1 loss in 12 months. So chillax yo batty.
Anyone else but Poch and I'd be inclined to agree
But he understands and appreciates fans arguably better than any manager and it's a reason we reciprocate in turn.
Like he said... it was one of a number of reasons the decision was made. I'm sure one was the line from sweetgrass mcmanaman
Never known such a minor action to be less ephemeral
I think you'll find Lloris was 'Tired and a emotional' (one for the political geeks there)
