*** Tottenham Hotspur vs Norwich City OMT ***

Heres where AVB earns his money. Show us that you can motivate a team and that you have the tactics to change a woeful display do far.

Please.
 
I think there's an element of Norwich playing a very effective game-plan in conjunction with us not being at the races. We ARE much better than them, but they're not allowing us to string more than 2-3 passes together.

Hopefully they can't keep that up for the second half. Would like to see Holtby just to see what he can do in a situation like this. Not Defoe's fault that most balls to him have been in the air, but fudge me Levy just take a punt on someone.

the problem is though I don't really think we have the personnel to be able to string passes together. I don't know how its suddenly going to improve...
 
absolute brick. Took us till the 41st minute to fashion a chance and that came curtesy of a deflection off a Norwich player.

no shape, no desire, no ball control, not two passes strung together.

Defence and goalie all over the place.

Midfield doing nothing - Dembele playing like an amateur

Forwards - how can anyone say we dont need a striker desperately. We are making Bassong look good ffs

AVB - needs to shake them up - and quickly

Dog turd at the moment. Just now it is QPR and Leeds re-visited. NOT GOOD ENOUGH
 
One of those games I just can't see us improving in this one

Head says you're right, heart tells me I NEED to believe that AVB can fire a performance out of them, that we will realize what a poor, poor first-half it's been, and that we will (in fact) now go on to win the game.

It's a massive, massive second-half in terms of belief. I'm not usually one to speak of 'must-wins' but this is fast shaping up to be one...we need to show ourselves who we are and what we can be...which is a lot, LOT more than this!
 
I get it might be difficult to play on that pitch but more than anything that I find unforgivable is to be outfought on every blade of grass out there. Those fudging fannies need to pull their finger out and realise that you have to earn the right to play. You fudging battle for everything. One thing that's plagued our club for such a long time is our pussy mentality.
 
are Liverpool going to get 4th? the would be absolutely disgusting.
the stream im watvhing is showing highlights of Norwich getting tacoted about 40 nil by the scousers. and luton. incredible that we can be so bad. the wingers are so deep and the top two so fudging isolated. it seems like youd have to try to make your two centre mids THAT invisible.

That is true, we lost that ability with Modric and Rafa. They were two of the best players in the league, let alone our team. Any team would struggle losing players of their quality, both Have played for Real Madrid, which shows how good they are rated.

I agree.
Oh how we miss Sandro...I think he naturally makes them all raise their game...

Blimmey - for Stef to be this pessimistic it shows how bad it is. No context required!!
 
I've been saying Liverpool will get 4th all season. They're similar to Arsenal last season; a decent starting XI with a world class, match winning forward.

Everton will get 4th like i said from the beginning of the season.
 
Please dont give Spurs anymore Manager of the month awards, haven't won a game since that award, culminating in that dire 45mins performance.
Outplayed by Norwich City. They have showed how to react from a shock defeat at the weekend, we dont look interested.

On that performance, I dont care if there are still 42pts to play for after tonight, carry on like that and 4th place has left the building.

Oh and yes, and if I read that the board are happy with our squad, I think I will throw up
