Poor display again today. Need to put him out of his misery, it's the kindest thing to do.

It’s unfair to compare Jansen to llorente. J is young limited experience while the other much older in footballing career plus huge experiences playing for big clubs. Llorente so far failed all tests for Spurs and today’s display was lazy not bothered given up attitude, worst player on the pitch.

Replay is his last chance to play again this season, other than potentially acting as a spoiler to close out European matches. Given Poch didn’t have him in the squad in Turin, it probably is his last chance.
So, I think it's fair to say we gambled on his expiration date and got it wrong pretty badly.
The indigestion sucks, but it's our fault for making this choice in the first place.

I think he had a fairly good game today, if Son was more clinical today then Llorente would of had a couple of assists, yes he missed that chance but he did well to work himself a shooting opportunity and then missed probably because of his lack of game time.
Yesterday was perfect opportunity to work the ball wide and get some decent crosses in for him to attack, but we still tried to play through the middle of the pitch with players who aren't match fit yet and against a Rochdale team running on adrenaline.

The curse of the big money striker seems to have struck again.
If Llorente had four shots at Tupac he would still be alive
Tupac isn't still alive?
I don't think he had a horrendous game or anything, but Fernando doesn't seem to really mesh well with our style of play.
Thoughts on selling and bringing in an academy player as a backup to Kane?

Lads, I think I've found his replacement.
Sounds like you wanna kill the lad
Where is Janssen?
Loan cancelled due to injury, Poch denies all knowledge of his return, and no news from the club.
Weird

That would be weird. Where’d you hear that? Just did a quick google and couldn’t find anything.
Would he be eligible to play for us if true?
I'm not that mean, I'm sure he's a lively human being, but we need to move him out - it will be the kindest thing in the long run.
Could it be any worse?I don't think he had a horrendous game or anything, but Fernando doesn't seem to really mesh well with our style of play.

"When is he coming back? No, he’s not coming back. He’s injured. Maybe you know better than me? But I don’t see him since the summer, I haven’t met him again. I don’t know."

Is there an academy player that would do a better job than Llorente then? I just think we are in a difficult position to get a backup to him, anyone who comes is going to have to be happy not getting regular game time and top wages. I think he is like Jansen, he did a good job of holding up the ball and laying it off to players around him much like Kane does, but they just can't get the goals to go with it.
I would quiet like to see a youngster who is athletic and has an eye for goal, then just mold them over the years into a decent footballer as well as someone who would suite our style of play more. A Sanchez of the CF role if you will.
Sounds stupid, but I think we play Kane too much (hear me out), he should be going off earlier when games are done and dusted to save himself for the next game. That in turn would give any youngster or backup striker a chance to get themselves some game time, stay match fit, be playing with the other starting players whom they need to work out their role and also keep Kane fresh. When we finish a game 4-0 and he has got his hat trick goal in the 90th minute, I just think I would rather see him have gone off at 3-0 and saved himself for the next game. He rightly wants to play every minute of every game and I understand he wants a hat trick or more goals in any game, but would hate to see him go off injured in a game that has already been put to bed.
Lads, I think I've found his replacement.
Yay! Just got CRUTCH printed on my new top!
