I didn't agree with the Llorente sub, and I don't think moving Sissoko to RB would have been much different to just taking him off and leaving KWP out there at RB, Sissoko was fine there but after his fuck up KWP was fine too, but I fucking loved that switch to the CM3 of Winks, Eriksen, Alli, it was like watching Pep's ManC midfield - just so much wit and craft about it, we just carved them apart time after time.
Sissoko switched to RB position already after KWP yellow basically.
I agree, today he made right changes in the right time. Though picking KWP to starting XI was a blunder. Cost us a goal and Sissoko covered his position while KWP himself was not really involved in the game (and that is why he was subbed quite quickly as well).
But this is at the same time real praise for Sissoko. He managed to cover really well there. I am afraid we would have been screwed if there would not have been such player to cover!
Yep, but in fairness he did the same covering for Aurier previously.
Yes Poch! Yes!
Good to know Blakey doesn't agree ... for me that's just affirmation that Poch got it right ......
In fairness he's not got it wrong in a long time, he got a lot of flack after the Woolwich game but looking at the bench what could he do? All the players on there had all played 160 minutes plus football in like 5 days and where just as fucked as the ones on the pitch.
Fucking love the bloke and he just oozes class learns from his mistakes and never grumbles despite being dealt more then a few shite hands.
In 25 years of following Spurs, he is without a doubt the best thing that has happened to our club. I loved the 1991 FA cup win (I was 9), Jurgen's signing gave me a few weeks of joy, that partnership between Keane and Berbatov was impressive and Gareth Bale was amazing for 2 years.
But Poch is #1.
The replies to this.
That entire thread is just Gooner shrieking.
Loved this. Mourinho would have tripped the poor kid up.
I want me some Poch-love.
KWP looked kinda sheepish as he went off, but following that brief word in his shell-like, I bet he walked down that tunnel feeling 10ft feckin' tall!
Every week there's little moments like this. Echoing comments elsewhere earlier today (edit: It was
KickAssAndGiggle
just a few posts up! lol)... Those 3 cups over the last 30-odd years were nice, but loving my club more than ever these days (I'm was too young to truly soak up the majesty of the early 80's... Mainly remember walking round singing all the old Chas n Dave hits as an ankle-biter!).It is my feeling that we are currently the living embodiment of Bill Nick's famous quote.
COYS!!!!
Maureen wouldn't have played him, would have gone with Dier or Toby at RB.Loved this. Mourinho would have tripped the poor kid up.
...My projection would be him playing Wanyama.
(See "I have to play with broken toys cos you won't buy me a never ending stream of thoroughbred ponies" & Herrera all over the back 5.)
The manager did not make any signings in the summer and he is probably not going to make any signings in January."
