    It's not about fast transitional play though. It's about making the right decisions at the right time. The situation I described wasn't anything to do with transition, I'm talking about when we are in possession of the ball and there is an opportunity to put someone through on goal. Old...

    Mousa Dembele

    I don't think there's any manager on the planet (if there is there shouldn't be) that would want a player to purposefully avoid playing a pass that puts someone through on goal. I really find that hard to believe.

    Mousa Dembele

    The main reason I kept going on about him not releasing the ball at the right times is that every time he played along with Bale the following happened. Dembele picks ball up in midfield, does something fancy/impressive to beat man Bale starts run in behind full-back, gap appears between centre...

    Mousa Dembele

    Didn't see the entire game, but on MOTD they focused on him. 3 or 4 out of the 5 highlights they picked were him winning the ball/picking up the ball and releasing it with his next touch. It looks like he's finally learning when and when not to release the ball. I honestly thought it was too...

    Serious relegation fears

    Guys and Girls, we are Spurs. There are two possibilities as to how this season will pan out. 1. We finish 5th with a records point total for our entire history behind a Leicester side who finish with also the highest points total they've ever had in their history. The same Leicester side go...

    Quacks & Pseudoscience

    Fair point, as I said I just looked at the conclusions. If I have more time I'll see if I can find anything more reputable and of better quality study wise. On the lots of things are recommended by lots of people point. I agree that this doesn't necessarily make them right. This is why I...

    Quacks & Pseudoscience

    I've wondered if, aside from all the ching/chang energy flow flimflam, the act of sticking needles into the muscle actually prompts some kind of biological change in the muscle. There's some evidence that says acupuncture slows muscular atrophy which I would assume is because repeated minor...

    Chiro isn't actually recognised by the NHS. To be honest, until now I wasn't aware that acupuncture was either but it seems so. I have a mate who is a physio who will tell you himself that 99% of the stuff they have you do is balls that they aren't actually sure works or not. Although I will...

    Expectations for Season 2015-16

    @metalgear is the only person I can think of that gives some kind of suggestion that he isn't happy in his posts, although that might not be the case as he's never explicitly said it. His posts just give the impression he thinks Poch should be doing better.

    Expectations for Season 2015-16

    It is indeed and based off the general consensus of the earlier comments, I struggle to see how anyone could feel Poch isn't meeting or exceeding expectations at the minute.

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    I probably didn't put my point across clearly enough, but I think you actually do agree with me, you've just explained it better. See bold below. - with AVB it seemed possession itself was the goal (you can't be hurt if you have the ball), hence it was a "don't lose first" mentality (not...

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    Fair do's. I struggle to understand how if you take Poch's team playing at his best and AVB's team playing at their best anyone can feel they'd prefer to watch AVB but as you say, opinion, objective, fair enough. I actually think the systems AVB and Poch both employee are similar. They both...

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    I read it is as people making a comparison between which team they enjoy watching most rather than putting down/bigging up either points total. Whether you understand what AVB was trying t do or not, it's obvious we are more exciting/less boring to watch under Poch than we were under AVB. You...

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    Yes, but were we not comparing Poch and AVB's first 14 games and agreed that the points total was fairly similar? Of two teams on the same points, I'd rather be the team with the better goal difference with a slightly higher chance of injury (which is a debatable point) every day of the week.
