I'm not picking on individuals, there are many post where he's been criticised for failing to score in big games or lacking commitment when the rest of the team get a pass. I'll never see an other player as good as him play for Spurs and it amazes me when I read players like Ginola and Lamela are hero worshipped.
Pochettino backed his best player to get him over the line and it failed, who knows what could have happened if the penalty had not been given so early in the game? Hindsight is a great gift.

Ginola and Lamela in the same sentence. Ginola was rightfully hero worshipped

At Nuwcassel perhaps, bit of a show pony for us, centrehalves dream, rarely put in early cross and preferred to make fullback look a mug.

Yeah. Ginola was dream to watch for fans but pure definition of "highlight" player. That's not to take away the fact he was the one aspect of watching Spurs that brought joy and hope for a good few years.

Lamela played a pivotal starting role in probably the best Spurs team in the modern era. A lot of his key work went unnoticed. He was a leader on the pitch, often leading the high press. He got in opponents faces early and if opposing team starting dishing out sh** he was always ready to not only take it but start dishing it out back in spades, always sly though, given his love of the dark arts he rarely got sent off himself.

Lamela embodied the culture and attitude any top team must have and it's a sorry contrast to our current bunch of pussies who too easily get shaken out of their rhythm by an opponent willing to push the boundaries of what the ref will tolerate.

Aside from all of that Lamela was also a quality player that has his own not inconsiderate highlight reel. His one weak point was his right foot. The joke about his robana goals was he only scored such ridiculously good goals because he'd basically do ANYTHING to avoid using his right foot!

Lack of pace also probably drops him below true elite level, but a vital cog in a quality team nonetheless.

Ginola was a highlight player whilst going on to overinflate someone who was frankly a massive failure for us when all is said and done. Well its at least given me a laugh to start the weekend

Hahah now there was a hype man who never delivered.

I would say 94 onwards was the peak of me going home and away with the old man and Ginola was for two seasons (bar his really flat start) vastly unplayable. Maybe a lull period in the middle for 6/7 games but literally carried us so many times. Talking about difference of times here (this is not against Kane) but in an Era when we were miles away from the top club and players for him to turn it on like he did for that year in the cups against Liverpool and United (with only slightly weaker sides) and then kick on. PFA Winner for a side like ours at the time, he wasn't just a highlight in a poor side, he shouldn't by rights have even been out a club like ours.
 
The unfortunate Les Ferdinand really suffered from his failure to deliver, one of the strongest players on getting on the end of crosses use to make good runs totally ignored by Ginola.

Then more intelligent players who made runs were not. Klinsmann and him linked up massively well because of it, even only for a handful of games.

Ferdinand was a sufferer from his own poor form and inability to get on the pitch

Agree with that.

What I would say though is that every time we needed his services because of 1st team injuries he was absent himself. Not his fault of course, but he couldn't be relied upon to be available when he was needed most. Such a shame as he would have brought us the squad depth that Poch craved for. I always wondered whether Dele's burnout and multiple hamstring injuries would have been avoided if Erik was there alongside him, Eriksen and Sonny as 1st team options.

Such a great guy.

Not sure what that means?! But if you followed us in the 90s he practically carried us through games at a time when we were mostly rubbish. IMHO Ginola is a club legend. I loved Lamela but he was no where near as influential and while we fans love him he's not even close to the level Ginola was.

Such a weird period.
We had Ginola, Klinsmann, Anderton, Sheringham, Judas
and......Nethercott, Cundy.....that could be a loooong list.

He did carry us to an extent in that there were plenty games he won or got us a point in on his own. But he's not the sort of player you could really build a consistent winning team around because he did hog the ball, he did always want to try and beat that one last player rather than choose the early ball, he did leave his position a lot and didn't really get involved in defensive shape or structures. That's all I'm saying. Summary: "He was a legend; FOR HIS TIME"
