Then we go out out of all the cups, finish 5th, Levy blames Poch.
During extra time on Thursday.
ochfacepalm:
No extra time.
So I imagine he pulls it during his run up for the match winning penalty and subsequently misses.
Calm down lads calm down.
Janssen, might be going to Burnley according to the Mail
Phew, thought we where in some trouble for a minute there.

Kane, Dele and Son out. Lucas might be too. No need to buy anyone
You normally sit on the it's okay side of things.
The most demanding fan can understand injuries happen and to say this is a bad run of it is stating the fcuking obvious.
I think to do nothing now in the transfer market would be asking a lot of your supporters to accept.
It's hard to know what to use as a barometer now because we are close to the point where putting 11 players out will be a challenge.
Thursday is a hard enough game for us and that is where Pochettino and those players who are fit need to focus.
But if Levy cares at all about the supporters he really needs to be trying to bring in loan signings at the very least.
COYS
Levy cares about the finances not the fans mate.
I mean within a weeks time, the only players missing through injury are Kane and Dele. (Not including Wanyama).
Yes, these are two of our best players but people will step up. They always do.
Lloris
Aurier - Alderweireld - Vertonghen - Rose
Sissoko - Dier - Winks
Eriksen - Son - Lucas
Bench: Gazzaniga, KWP, Davies, Skipp, Lamela, Nkoudou, LlorenteAurier - Alderweireld - Vertonghen - Rose
Sissoko - Dier - Winks
Eriksen - Son - Lucas
Is probably good enough to beat every single team we go up against in the league until Kane and Dele are back. Though Son does miss two games (Just replace him with Lamela or Llorente)
Every game will probably feel like a slug fest because these players are playing SO many minutes with no rest, no rotation. Winks seems to be playing every minute of every game for example.
But we still have a damn good team. I'd love a signing or two but I'm not getting my hopes up.
Dippers lose Salah, Firmino,Mane
Utd lose Rashford, Martial, Pogba
Chavs lose Hazzard, Willian, Pedro
Are they prepared for that?
You could say City are the only team prepared if they lose 3 or 4 of their top players but even they struggled without Fernandinho.
You may want signings but using that argument doesn't make much sense.

Feel like we're in an impossible situation... with Alli out too we're looking pretty thin and I'm not entirely sure where the goals are going to come from.
BUT even if we did magic up a couple of signings, there's absolutely no guarantee they'd integrate quickly enough to help us short-term anyway.
Best case an academy lad breaks through and scores a few... starting with a hat-trick vs. the chavs.

Nailed. Any club in the world with more than 5 injuries in their first team will struggle.
Yet, we keep winning.
He already has the accolade of 30th best player in Europe (2015/2016) - a Balon D'Or would just be the cherry on top.
Best Player in Europe Award shortlist revealed
30= Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund & Gabon)
30= Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City & Belgium)
30= Kevin Gameiro (Sevilla & France)
30= Grzegorz Krychowiak (Sevilla/Paris Saint-Germain & Poland)
30= Blaise Matuidi (Paris Saint-Germain & France)
30= Georges-Kévin N'Koudou (Marseille & France)
30= Jan Oblak (Atlético Madrid & Slovenia)
People will step up.
We aren't going to stop scoring because 3 players are out.
We had no Kane, Dele or Son on the pitch when Harry Winks found himself in the box (Where Kane or Dele would have been?) and we won the game.
Our game will likely change and we'll have other goalscorers. The injuries we have ARE unlucky but we are also very lucky that the fixture list over the next 2 weeks has been VERY generous to us for when Son comes back.
We could try nicking Banega off Woolwich
No one who has been asking for players should feel smug and it is a real case of bad luck.
I just think there is zero justification in not having another striker or cover when as a club you knew you were selling Dembele and that Wanyama is not fit enough at present.
Who knows whether injuries would have befallen anyone brought in but there is or has to be a correlation between sharing the load and suffering slightly less injuries you would think.
Hard to not feel aggrieved but no way does this just sit on Levy.
Pochettino consistently says we are okay other than when he says something else.

But he's got a bit of Giovani Dos Santos about him.
Liverpool’s bench is fucking shite, and that’s with just Arnold out
Scott thinks if we had replaced Trippier, Davies and Dier in the summer, it wouldn’t matter if Kane, Son, Moura and Dele were missing.
He also wishes we had cover for the injured Sissoko, despite wanting Sissoko sold.
I get the impression Scott will shrink even more if our back up to the back up keep winning.
Didn’t see him around that much when we were flying, now he’s a 55 post a day man, praying he can be “right” if Spurs fall off, because we didn’t safe guard ourselves with a 35 man squad.
