    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    So goal difference and confidence isn't important anymore? The energy expenditure and to some extent the injury risk is negated by Poch's emphasis on player fitness and recovery IMO. I'd much rather be watching this team on top form every week than AVB's team on top form every week personally.

    Ryan Mason

    For me this is the big (and pretty key) difference between Poch and AVB. It's the main reason why Poch has been able to find that balance between attractive football and a system that makes us hard to beat. AVB failed miserably at it. Poch likes players who's first look is forward which suits...

    No sure how their ability to produce bile influences their footballing ability myself, but each to their own ;)

    Harry Kane MBE

    I am still getting absolutely crucified in work because back when he started to score a few goals in the Europa someone asked me what he was like and I said 'yeh, he's alright, I'd say he'll probably end up at a mid table team or the likes'. Of course this has now been translated into 'You...

    The Defensive Midfielder

    I was referring more to the 'all midfielders being able to defend and pass/create' bit which is obviously the basics of the point he was making.

    The Defensive Midfielder

    That sounds awful like what Tim Sherwood suggested with his 'I don't like holding midfielders' comment. ;)

    On the religion thing I'm pretty much with @scaramanga. You can't change those who are already religious, but the way forward is future generations. There's this flawed notion that religion is about you're beliefs as a person. It's got absolutely fudge all to do with that. If you are brought...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur v Woolwich *** OMT

    I want to see him closing down and pressuring every single player, just not jumping in like a maniac when he's just been booked.

    *** Tottenham Hotspur v Woolwich *** OMT

    I agree that Poch dealt with it perfectly. I wasn't suggesting that Lamela should have been taken off earlier. I think Poch got it spot on. Maybe I've picked something up wrong but I got the impression people were claiming he should have been left on for longer. I find it strange that people...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur v Woolwich *** OMT

    He did, and credit to that. I just think that the risk of him overstepping that line accidently was high (based off his tiredness and having a known habit of conceding 'silly' fouls) and therefore he was rightly substituted. As someone previous mentioned he slid in at one point and missed the...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur v Woolwich *** OMT

    No because obviously Harry Kane almost missing does not result in him having to leave the field of play and put us down to 10 men. It's pretty much globally understood basics of football. You get a booking, you try and stay on your feet. Lamela got a booking and immediately dived into three...

    Mousa Dembele

    I've been critical in the past, but he now looks like he's moving the ball quickly in the right areas, which makes him look 10 times the player. Past few performances have been excellent.

    Circus ManUnitus - Nobody's At The Wheel

    Fans are just dingdongs these days. It's 'no longer just about results' and everyone thinks they are some kind of football management guru. If you asked the current top 6 'Are you happy with your manager' you'd probably get: City - I'd say 50% are happy, most would get rid if someone perceived...

    Ratings vs the Ar5e

    He should have tucked in and called Lamela (or whoever the right sided player at the time was) in to look after Gibbs. You could blame him for that if he didn't make the call or you could blame the right sided player for not doing it/knowing to do it. But in the situation he was in (stuck...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur v Woolwich *** OMT

    Fair do's, I probably have jumped the gun a bit. After the booking he made 3 great challenges. One on the keeper, one up in the far corner and one on our left wing, after the third one, I wanted him off. IIRC there was also one he mis-timed but the player jumped over it. Even though they...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur v Woolwich *** OMT

    This place makes me laugh. Before the Arsenal match the past 3 or 4 pages in this thread were basically an overwelming majority agreement that Lamela is brick at tackling. He get's booked, then immediately puts in 3 rash slide tackles that he somehow manages to time correctly but 'he wasn't...
