I'm sure you're right. But I also think people are getting used to those CL evenings and seeming like a truly big club and if we fall out of the top 4, people will miss that a lot. If we won 3 FA Cups in 4 years, Spurs fans would probably be a lot more forgiving than Woolwich fans for sure, but a single FA or League Cup win may not buy as much leeway for Poch et all as is being suggested if he can't keep regularly qualifying for the CL.

We are four games into the season. Only pussies fold from the start. I have more faith in our guys.
Based on the last 16 league games we'd be 17th in the table.
Either Poch's not up to it or we're paying for years of under investment in the squad.
Which is it?
Was going to answer these two remarks, but see that Totti has given a perfect summation.If it was just based on the 3 games this season I'd agree it's knee-jerk,
But it's not. We've been on a downward spiral since February.
Top comment. I feel the regression at fullback is now our biggest achilles heel.We no longer have this team.
Or the key components that that team brought us.
So we no longer have attacking full backs on both sides, willing to provide that outlet with their pace and fearlessness. Willing to get behind the opponents full backs, get in the box and cause havoc.
We no longer have that feared midfield of style, steel, composure and skill. We don't quite have the same defensive consistency, due to a likelihood of injuries and age to those that were once involved.
We now have an ageing Rose, who looks a shadow of his former self. We have an older Lloris, Vertonghen and Alderweireld who all aren't as good as they once were. We've had three starting right backs in 2 years since that photo was taken and none of them have provided us the same sort of threat Walker did (Trippier provided a different threat but in a different team).
We don't (or haven't had) have Dele further forward and allowed to roam, create and score and we don't have Eriksen performing at the same level due to the issues with his future.
We now have Lucas and Son, who we have to try and fit in the squad. Lucas, doesn't really fit in anywhere in how we play, but to his credit has done an admirable job and never complains. Still not sure whether Son is a winger, wide forward or a forward to play alongside Kane and I don't really think Poch knows either.
We'll get through this - no doubt about it.
Probably take a few more weeks, maybe a month or two but I think once Ndombele is up and running, Lo Celso is in the squad and Dele is back, we'll start seeing something that resembles a classic Tottenham team.
Today, we dine on disappointment but we'll be back.
And like many many before you, you argue against something nobody has said.
Find one person that is only talking about 4 games. Our problems go back to the turn of the year, Have you seen our form since Jan 1 to now.
Do you think the problems of this season are somehow different to the problems that saw us lose to West Ham, Bournemouth, Southampton and Burnley in the space of about 8 weeks?
You´re the pussy...cant face a few simple home truths so you run around celebrating draws from being 2-0 up
Well I hope you enjoyed the occasion.During that time we also made the CL Final.

Yeah, and all you fucking get is "But trophies" or "Pochettino always picks the same players"I agree. They're pathetic really, anybody would think we were finishing bottom half year after year.
Maybe it would be better if we were, get rid of some of the self-entitled bitches and leave just the real fans.
Right now I've fucking had enough of these whinging cunts.
Absolutely right.Was going to answer these two remarks, but see that Totti has given a perfect summation.
Our downward spiral since February is largely that we ran CM into the ground. No options to rotate and they were knckered by season's end.
People don't go with the flow and enjoy football for what it is any more....it always has to be a success on their terms...win this, buy him, play like that, win every fucking game, don't do anything for other fans to banter us about...fuck that shit, you'll never be happy...

That’s fine if the team is playing a brand of football that’s possible to enjoyPeople don't go with the flow and enjoy football for what it is any more....it always has to be a success on their terms...win this, buy him, play like that, win every fucking game, don't do anything for other fans to banter us about...fuck that shit, you'll never be happy...
But that's football, any shit can happen at any time...you just enjoy the fuck out of the highs and then endure the lows until the next high....you know, like drugs...You forgot:
Going 1-0 down in 90% of games
Losing to bottom half teams
Boring football
Not using the full squad
Playing out of form players due to their name
Poor ineffective subs
Talking shit that should be private
Not defending set pieces properly
Not taking set pieces properly
But don’t let that get in the way
Last year it was Wembley and fatigue.
This year it’s the foreign transfer window
Laughable
That’s fine if the team is playing a brand of football that’s possible to enjoy
Fair enough mateBut that's football, any shit can happen ant any time...you just enjoy the fuck out of the highs and then endure the lows until the next high....you know, like drugs...
