Anyone think that Poch should adopt a Mourinho style when we take a decent lead, as in shut up shop and bore the other team to death?

I must confess a certain apprehension about Saturday.I didn't even need to sleep on it. I was sanguine after the match
A point in our first away game in the champs league this year. One better than last year. Lets hope we go one better in the competition.
No new injury worries that I've heard of.
Almost perfect squad management from Poch. The whole squad should be fresh for Saturday as everyone except Winks followed the match plan of not putting in a shift.
Also masterful tactics from Poch to not let the fan base get carried away. Can you imagine if we'd smashed this lot 4-0. We'd all be off in "we're gonna win the world cup" territory.
Let's just hope that we play the Palace game again on Saturday.
Probably because you're moderately sane.Why ?? why ?? I am baffled with that decision
Well, so much for your medical credentials!Probably because you're moderately sane.

Long as we win why not the stuff we are subjected to is shit.Anyone think that Poch should adopt a Mourinho style when we take a decent lead, as in shut up shop and bore the other team to death?
We do but other teams get just as much only we don’t see it as much from our side of the fence....Klopp got his fair share but finally won a big trophy and now they wank over him, Utd bosses since Fergie have got a good roasting a time or too and so on so on....It is absolutely incredible when we don’t win a game how hard the media go in. ‘Have Tottenham plateaued’ ‘does Kane/poch need to move on to win trophies’ etc I swear no other team gets this kinda scrutiny. So odd.
Or if the players don't their agents will and will want to move their client on to "protect their investment"We need a big trophy and we need it soon, because every year we continue to regress the media will increase their negativity, and players themselves buy into it unfortunately!!
Hello from Athens of Greece, I am a fan of Olympiakos and I read all your comments about the game .
I thought that we are criticising a lot, but you are a category of your own . Your team it's not bad at all and it's so early for conclusions, so take it easy.
Olympiakos it's not an easy opponent in his home, and this season is much better than previous years, thanks to coach Martins. Too many great clubs lost in Piraeus, such as Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Milan, Manchester United, Liverpool, Ajax, Dortmund, Monaco, Porto, and didn't win like Chelsea, Barcelona, Valencia.
And I must mention that we miss our best player Kostas Fortunis cause he is injured. Imagine your team without Harry Kane for example.
Anyway the reason I enter in your forum is to post a video of Olympiakos TV so you can watch highlights from inside the pitch.
Take care and I wish for a great game in London from both teams.

Attack should have been built around him Son and Kane a year ago
And Kane has been largely crap or injured for over a year. Maybe that’s part of our problem.Why would we build an attack round Son? he's capable of the odd wonderful moment but he's less reliable and consistent than Eriksen, and generally even produces less in terms of goals/assists and you want him put before a firing squad.
The attack is already built around Kane.

I’d rather build our attack around fast, creative flair players than the three slowest, bumbling players in the squad.
Kane for England has a different energy, because the attack is built around Sterlings insane movement and speed.
We could do something like that, but our manager prefers fairy flicks and sideways passers alongside him.
we had a bad start to the CL Campaign last season, played badly but managed to scrape by somehow, no one thought we would get anything from it, we are just as bad if not worse now so I've every confidence in us reaching the final again. I also think there's something inKanes contract that says he's got to play, but we'll never knowChester! I asked everyone to discuss and you disagreed! WTF?
Every week you want Moura to play with Son and Kane Lucas Moura the man you described as:I don't mind the sound of that at all, every week I advocate playing a 433 and having Moura and Son either side of Kane
BBC headline this morning I read as "SPURS LOSE!!! (2-0 lead to draw at Olympiakos)
Sod off you biased cunts
And what a surprise they ran with an Upson "analysis".
On balance I'm not too upset by last night, we've done better than this time last year, and an away point is ok, I'm sure that counts after head-to-head if points are level after group stage.
