Why do you think that is?I can understand a lot of the frustration after that game, but Poch is on a hiding to nothing these days, he'll be getting grief no matter what he does...
I'm not sure that kicking a players legs in the box and awarding a penalty is based on intention?
We’re absolute pony and they needed a dodgy penalty to beat us. City for the title yet again for meWas I watching a different game? We got dominated mate and didn’t have a single on target from out goal up til their penalty. We played like cowards and only woke up after they went ahead, but let’s not pretend Liverpool were not always going to win that. I knew instantly we were losing that once we conceded the first.
Has 32 million reasons to get sacked, zero reason to resignI really think he wants to be sacked now for whatever reason, he seems to have a grudge and is getting his own back and wants a big payout and he knows that will hurt his 'mate' Daniel in the only way he understands( in his pocket). I would never have guessed it would go so bad after the euphoria of June 1st, awful situation, where do we go from here
Yeah I agree City will probably win itWe’re absolute pony and they needed a dodgy penalty to beat us. City for the title yet again for me
Little bitch OliverAnyone remember who was the ref last year that didn’t see the Mane foul on Son at Wembley? It’s not springing to mind
Joey Barton. Will bring some fight back.No, so let's get Ranieri in... he won the league with a little fucking BELL!
imagine the self entitled uproar if we got him... or BRENDAN ROGERS in!!
Just imagine!!
Or do you want someone more 'Rock n Roll' like Ancelotti, or Pep, or Klopp ... 'cos I'm sure they'll be more than happy to swap their menial day jobs and come to Spurs, won't they?
right have to rant a bit:
was so clear when le celso and ndombele came on they are far better
not all negative but need to vent
Eriksen, Aurier and Rose need to go
Alli needs to be dropped...again
Winks, although better than those above probably shouldn't start, if im being brutally honest, his just a bit of a shit dembelle
The rest are all okay, swap that lot out for lamela - Eriksen, ndombele - Winks, Le Cleso - Alli, Fouth - Aurier and Davies (Sess when fit) - Rose => and we have a decent X11
why Poch isnt starting these players I dont know, trying to transition to the future, so lets take a risk and stop going with oldguar, guess injuries have prevented this but Eriksen is madness - should not be playing
- Eriksen is to weak, too slow, and doesnt care naywhere near as much as he did before
- Aurier needs to fuck off, cant slide tackle for shit, not even mentioning the pen, his positioning is fucking horrendous
- Unless Alli picks up his form he shouldnt play, even at the best of times he is too slow on the ball - if he had pace and passed the ball a bit faster he would be quality but his just too slugish as everything he does, when his not in perfect form his largely crap unfortunately
- although i like winks, his just doesnt quite cut it, too many touches, not as bad as others tho
- Danny rose, full commitment and still offers the team something but he just isnt good enough, the main problems with him are he can no longer cross the ball for shit, passing accuracy is terrible and his positioning at times can be dreadful. That combined with him loosing a yard of pace every year for the past few seasons just increases the problem
That's very harsh on him, he looked like he was beginning to find his form again in the past couple games. I would still like to see him more. He should've been subbed off today though.Massive fall from grace. Doesn't look the same player he used to. Shame.
Da fuck?!??!!Son was great today, thought N’Dombele looked amazing when he was on. Crap result but seen us play a lot worse. 4 points off 5th. We’ll get there!
Go on?Honestly thought there were a lot of positives today!
