Tottenham answering doubters in every respect with win vs. Man City
So after the meltdowns of the transfer thread, November rolls around and Spurs are 2 points from 3rd. The team above us, Utd could not score the winner against us, and lucked out where we scored against ourselves. Perhaps their luck will run out away from home?
So far the season is on target. Poch has seemed to have frozen out Townsend in order for Josh Onomah who physically looks set up for the prem after an impressive cameo. More positive hints that we are right to look within rather than the grass is greener.
Midfielders are all getting in on the scoring action this season. Great goals from Alli, Dembele and Kane with lots of width from Rose causing chaos.
Everything is going great. We are winning the games on paper since we beefed up the squad and it looks like Poch is slowly closing the soft wings with Alli and Dier being massive off the ball and Lamela showing the green shoots of confidence.
Enough can not be said about how fit we are. Poch deserves plaudits and I'm sure his hard work will pay off long term.
There has been some dissent from the ranks, reportedly from Townsend but that all points to a fighting attitude. We have been a "nice" team to play against for too long. With bitches bouncing off Alli and Dembele, clutching their faces in agony or watching the ball roll into the net...It's happy days.
I have full confidence in this squad and manager. Judging by the constantly bumped transfer thread, some need convincing about our personnel. On paper Son being out was a disaster. We got through it. Eriksen was out: Alli stepped up. Mason and Bentaleb were out, Alli stepped back. Dier banned for being too hard? Dembele stepped back. Spurs are the musical chairs of pain. No matter who gets to sit down: He's got some arsehole.
Poch was BEAMING (for him) in the post match interview. Very satisfied cute lil smile on his face. He seems to be learning at a faster pace than I suspected. I've based my opinion off him making old mistakes time after time to make us spin our wheels (subbing in Townsend, playing Soldado, playing Chiriches in a back line, making Lennon, Kabs etc Captain etc etc etc) But he's been addressing almost all of my concerns. And we STILL have players like Son and Mason to come back...
For once, I agree with you whole heartedly. But you need to stop "taking credit" or talking like you've told everyone so or something.
Why should I not take credit? Who else when the transfer window closed, was delighted with the squad? Happy enough to start a thread about how strong we are?
I've been called a troll for BACKING players. IMO, I'm the true supporter. The twitter moaners, the grass is greener transferbaters are what is wrong with football.
Talking shit about players that make lungbusting runs for us, making memes about Dembele's attacking capabilities, rubbing one out over players we have steamrolled and calling Bentaleb a cunt does not even cause a ripple these days.
I'm STILL sticking my neck out. This could all backfire. Don't claim I am blowing the i told you so horn. This could turn in to me being "ended".
We all know some points that you've stood behind are vindicated. The ONLY problem some of the forumers have with you is you keep talking about the same point over and OVER again. We get it; some of the things you said are true. Now's it time to just let it rest and enjoy Tottenham instead of trying to up your own self up. Like I said, this is not a place to talk about your own predictions and successes, but about Tottenham's.
