Noah's passion is everything I'd like to see in a Spurs kit.
yep
i know passion isnt everything and not everyone can have the care that someone like daws shows but for god sake these players arent 4th division players they are internationals so they are not shit!
i just want to see a bit more from them thats all
but who else would you trust to put there? i agree he should be centre back all day long but who would you stick there that has not already been there this season and ballsed it up
If I had to throw someone in there then I suppose it would have to be Fryers.
I don't see the benefit of weakening your entire defence by playing your best defender out of position. At least be as strong as possible through the middle. The winger can easily drop in to aid a vulnerably left back, as much to do with basic tactics than anything else.
true i thought fryer did ok at left back. just annoyed that it was glowing obvious we needed a left back but did not get one
You do know that BAE spent the majority of last season injured?
I don't get why you keep referring to Bale, do you also realise he hasn't been a left back since something like 2009?
Additionally, Dawson & Kaboul have been at the club for a long time, so nothing new or unexpected there. Saying that no one is solid or fit is daft as Vertonghen has been neither this season too.
"He's never looked happy. Period."
Really?
Could go on forever with "First Season Jan" happy pics.
I actually almost don't recognise him in those pics
Little bit extra on Jan, explaining the error and general quotes

not so much the mistake anyone can do that but its just his general attitude that stinks
Trying not to judge him on it, but if it were Dawson who said it then I'd be thinking that there were a certain lack of spirit in what he's saying.
I don't know. I just hope he does well tomorrow and Sunday to make up for it.
agree i know it sounds like i am knocking him but im really not. Last season he was brilliant put in a shift and showed some passion but this season its like he has given up
tomorrow and sunday will show us all where his head is at i think

What is the real story about Vertonghen. Vertonghen someone all of us have put a lot of emotion into. We were excited when he joined and looked forward to a long association of goals, great defending, someone to replace Ledley as a rock of the back.
Forward to today we feel cheated, dumped from what is implied as someone disinterested, grumpy and someone who wants to leave.
He wants CL football, well go to Shaktar, Basel, Porto, Olymapakis cause is he really displaying for Germany, Spanish CL Teams - no and we ain't gonna sell to EPL top 4.

We might be reading too much into it.
When I read that "Vertonghen does not want to respond to Mourinho's words" or whatever the headline was, I hate to say I instantly thought "trying to flirt with the CL teams..." I'm sure I completely misinterpreted it, but I can't shake off this feeling it's edging closer to spurs + vertonghen, and he won't want to take responsibility for the season's disappointments.
Also, to be clear, there's probably more players like that, which I think is what Tim was implying.
If its CL football he's after then he can f**k right off. And if he keeps playing like this he'll be lucky grtting a start for our shower of shite. I'm sick to the back teeth with f**king CL football. I miss our relegation battles
IMO we're a EL team till we supposidy build a new stadium. I'm fine with that.

As a fan I don't like to tread water and stay in mediocrity. I want our team to play CL again and I don't blame our players for wanting this too!!If its CL football he's after then he can f**k right off.

Dont blame them wanting it as i want it to but if they play better they might just get it, surely they know that!
As I said in another thread, I impart some of the blame onto Harry Redknapp for making us think we were capable of CL football and title challenges, then spending the next two seasons fucking that up, the opposition got stronger (so much so that our most points in the PL wasn't enough to break top four) and we're all left bitter and twisted about it all.
If someone gave me the chance to go into a world where Redknapp never happened, I don't know what I'd do - In reality, we won nothing and all we gained was a unrealistic expectation that resurfaces every season

Sort of agree. We got a taste and starting thinking we were sort of entitled to it. The way the Lane has turned into a shithole full of fans thinking were should win week in week out tells me this.
We simply don't have the funds to compete until we build a bigger stadium. We've had a few good years now were, in my opinion we've punched above our weight. Without Bale and Liverpool now looking like a force again. I personally think we can forget about CL football for quite some time to come.
At the end of the day most of Jans misery is caused by the club not listening to him about getting a left back last season. We ended up with a player previously only good enough to go on loan.
IMO Rose, Fryers and Naughton are OBVIOUSLY not top 4 quality. So why play them at all in the prem? It's wasting time and energy on players when Capoue and Vlad were fit under AVB. The only way I see it, is if we play Van Gaal style with 3 at the back until we get reinforcements at the back next summer.
I would rather see that and an extra DM on the pitch like Capoue or Vlad than have a flank that is wide open. And we need backup for Walker too.
Thats true everyone in the whole world could see we needed a left back apart from the spurs management team....agree Rose, Fryers and Naughton are championship quality at best..harsh but fair although naughton has never really been given a run at rightback just 1 or 2 games here and there but you wouldnt drop walker.
3 at the back could work but who would you trust to play left wingback?
