    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    Indeed, but both Jose and Fergie amongst others have been notoriously "lucky" over the years, so I guess we should be glad we have a lucky manager. Sitting on my porcelain throne using Fapatalk

    Nacer Chadli

    It's the dynamic front 4 that the Spanish teams perfected through coaches like; Benitez, Irrueta, Cooper and later on Bielsa, that Poch is trying to recreate and emulate. To effectively deploy that system requires 4 dynamic, intelligent and committed players who continually interchange...

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    Yeap- some of the early outings were poor, although a lot of it was down to senior players not pulling their weight. Poch's teams are all about athleticism, dynamism, high tempo passing and the deployment of a high line. If the players "buy in" to the game plan then it's a very effective way to...

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    Wrote earlier in the thread that today's game would tell a lot in terms of Poch, particularly seeing that Chelsea would be by far his sternest test at WHL since Liverpool came back in August. I think it is safe to say that Poch has passed this test with flying colours and the team has powered...

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    Great post. The next game will be a huge test and arguably will demonstrate if there has been progression or not. Early in his tenure we got spanked by Liverpool (the only time this year that they resembled the high velocity team of last year) with Capoue, Kaboul and Ade all drastically...

    The Annual Tottenham Hotspur Striker Search: January 2015 Edition

    I agree with you, he's a smart guy and should grasp it. From what I have heard, it's a confidence thing with the language and that he is apparently trying, including availing of a personal language teacher. In my own experience, it was immersing myself in the culture and learning about Spain...

    The Annual Tottenham Hotspur Striker Search: January 2015 Edition

    I agree with you, he's a smart guy and should grasp it. From what I have heard, it's a confidence thing with the language and that he is trying. Spain is different as the slogan goes, and I guess for a young welsh lad who seemed quite settled with wife and young kid and probably used to a...

    The Annual Tottenham Hotspur Striker Search: January 2015 Edition

    Not sure Id agree with the passport piece... Bales problem (at the moment) is the same issue that has blighted a lot of British players who have gone overseas... Failure or unwillingness to adapt to a different culture. He doesn't speak Spanish well enough even though he has been there for...

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    If you look at Europe's top teams the front 3 or 4, depending on preferred formations, are all dynamic and unpredictable, albeit playing in a set system. Poch is clearly trying to emulate this with his forward 4. Kane is the tireless and selfless spoil for 3 talented and skilful forward players...

    ***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Barcodes OMT ***

    Agreed. Add to that; Lloris, Walker, Bentaleb and for me that's 6 players who Poch needs to build a team around. Vertongen and one of Davis or Rose can make it 2 more if they up there game making it 8 in total meaning, we really need to find 3 additional players. For me it would be; Moreno...

    ***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Swansea City OMT ***

    Won't happen but think a 4-3-3 is ideal for the way things stand at the moment in terms of form and availability. Would go with: Lloris, Walker, Fazio, Verts, Davis, Bentaleb, Mason, Eriksen Lamela, Kane, Chadli Sitting on my porcelain throne using Fapatalk

    Transfer Rumour Thread

    Its broken down into 2 sections. To have an 'abono' which is your seat, you need to be a 'socio' which is to all intents and purposes being a member of the club with voting rights, etc... I am a socio and have a 'eurobono' in the 'fondo sur' which is the southern end and where the Ultras used to...

    they were, although when Di Maria started mouthing off and saying that Man U were a bigger club than Madrid, people felt like that the club had done the right thing. Sent from my iPad using Fapatalk HD

    That's my excuse also. Have had a season ticket at the Bernabeu since 2000, however am now living in Oz, so my father law and wife's cousins go to the stadium. Sitting on my porcelain throne using Fapatalk

    Transfer Rumour Thread

    Not the fans, but actually the partisan pro Spanish newspapers of As and Marca. They blatantly support Isco even when he plays poorly and their vomit inducing support for Casillas when the guy has been sub-standard for well over two seasons are just two examples of them pushing the Spaniard over...

    Etienne Capoue

    That triangle is most definitely where the root of our defensive problems lie. We need a proven premier league centre back and an international class holding player in January if Poch is to save himself. Tough ask but unless we fix this we will be a walk over for most teams. Sent from my...

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    I am gutted that it is starting to unravel for Poch as I truly thought he might have been the man.... If he is to turn this around I think he will need to demonstrate a flexibility and adaptability in terms of system and approach which to date he has not shown. He must pick teams not to loose...

    So many areas of concern --where to start?

    Lots and lots of things behind the shambles that is the club today; however at its most basic level we have players who are not good enough and who are made to even look worse by the system we are deploying. Poch's got to show what he is made of now and focus on getting results which may mean...

    Etienne Capoue

    This... Our spine with the exception of Hugo is dross. Would try Dyer at CB with Vertongen, Stambouli as a pure defensive CM with Mason and Eriksen buzzing around him and then Lamella, Chadli and Kane way up as a front 3. Sitting on my porcelain throne using Fapatalk

    Is this the real problem at Spurs?

    I didn't say it could not be a contributing factor to our poor form; however I think it is a very British thing to associate failure solely with a lack of courage, desire and heart. Having seen the villa game today I think it is painfully obvious that we are short on quality in key positions...
