The goal was top 4, not sure why you would pretend otherwise.
I understand that you're disappointed nor to win the final like me and everybody else but to say top 4 is an achievement but getting to the biggest final in this club's history is not, ridiculous.
But you're saying we didn't want to finish 1,2,3 we only targeted 4th?
Whether we think top 4 is a worthy target is irrelevant. It was the target and we achieved it.
Getting to the CL final wasn’t the target, winning it was, so we failed.
That’s how language works
No one on earth would have predicted that Kane would become a 200m player and if you have the magic ability to predict the future can I have next week's lotto numbers please. This doesn't mean anything other than these players are just gold mines for Levy when the player eventually decides to make a dirty protest in his pants in order to get his dream move away from Tottenham.
All you're doing is actually complimenting Poch on his ability to coach a player to stardom, well done.
Spurs only break their transfer record when they smash their selling transfer record too lmao. Selling your best players in order to fund new players isn't ambition. For every good player bought there are loads that don't make the cut. Ie eriksen and somewhat lamela the only guys that came good when we broke our selling record when we sold Bale.
Kyle walker is a great example. Was here from the r3dknaop days. Saw the club wasn't making any ambitious efforts in the market and went on to win the league with man City. The likes of seasoned vets like Rose saying that he has to Google the names of players who join us.
We've got some great players who have been nurtured and developed for the past 5 years. An ambitious club would go out and buy new players to push on, regardless of whether it means a net loss in a window. They do not sell their best players in order to fund new players. This is why spurs as a club just goes round in circles for the past decade.
I have no problem praising Poch for what he got out the players.
It’s the reason we didnt need to spend record sums for the best players in the world at the time.
But now he’s lost his touch, simple as that
Was fourth the target is what I'm asking you.
It was never the target? Then how can we be in a position to win the CL without being in the final?
Top 4 was the target. It’s simple English.
Getting to the CL final wasn’t the end goal.
So just getting there was not an achievement.
The end goal was to win it. We failed.
You will never catch me out playing this shit cat and mouse game.
I have 100% conviction in my opinions and will not waver on basic semantics.
Learn the words you are using if you want to play this game with me.
You don't think the players wanted to finish higher than 4th?
It was the end goal when we played Ajax can't win the CL without getting to the final. Obviously it does not compare to winning it but it's still an achievement.
It’s irrelevant what anyone wanted. The target was top 4 we achieved it.
In isolation winning the semi was the target for that night. We achieved it.
Cup competitions are not taken as round for round successes in isolation.
Just getting to the final was never the target.
We failed our objective.
No its not irrelevant as you're talking about the end goal. I don’t think the end goal at the start of the season was to finish 4th.
It was the target for that night but it was never the target?
You're contradicting yourself.
What Pochettino needz to preside over (why can't we have a what THFC need thread?) is to preside over a team that has CONTROL over a part of the pitch.
We are not clinical, we are not strong enough in midfield and we have become weak or porous in defence. In other words we are not the force we were and that's why all teams nos believe they have a chance against us.
And they do.

We are starting to become spursy again
We are indeed. Sad to see.
We never stopped, it just took the VAR guys a few months to get the memo
Yes. And why did only 3 finish above us?
Because Pocchetino was managing the fucking football team ya fooking wooden top.
On a shoestring, with his hands tied up.
Or are we to credit Daniel Levy for his coaching skills as well now.
ochfacepalm:
He's completely tying himself in knots again.
It's sad to see really.
