    Set Pieces

    Very interesting and technical discussion. There are a lot of statistical techniques around and very easy to generate all manner of figures and inferences from them. In the medical world it is complicated enough (where cause and effect are better established) but in the sporting world there are...

    Transfer speculation

    I am sure they can but it is more about how he and his family (mum) feel. We were interested before he went to WHam, but they didn't feel he would play enough. We have to show our system is a step beyond others and will suit him. So we must convince him he is not coming just to play if someone...

    Transfer speculation

    If you tell him he is going be a bench player he won't come. I think Poch is trying to get, ideally, to a point where he can rotate automatically, so players are interchangeable, irrespective of opposition. This to prevent injuries and long term fatigue and allow us to physically be stronger...

    Transfer speculation

    Sessegnon could be but his profile and price is escalating. We need to bite the bullet and actually pay the going rate for someone like O. Dembele. Even if he doesn't live up to expectations he is young enough to have a sell on, so the risk is more about wages, can we attract someone like him...

    Transfer speculation

    Many signed by Harry were his signings, DOF was an innocent bystander doing the admin. Van see Vaart, Ade, Saha etc. Poch has been there long enough to get players he wants, even if from Academy, without the DOF throwing a player/spanner in the works. Is that a reason for the seeming squad...

    Transfer speculation

    I really want Ousmane Dembele, but is going to be more difficult as time goes by and price will escalate. I would rather one top class game-breaker than 3 average gambles. I think it raises confidence and will serve us well in pressure games and against top teams, where we can be better.

    Transfer speculation

    The most important thing to note is that our best years have been without a DOF, whether with Harry or Poch!

    I was hoping for Trippier instead.

    Transfer speculation

    He is inconsistent. In the last few important games, Townsend has been the outstanding winger and MoM for them. Sam has got him playing on the left and his work rate has gone up. But people on here won't like that. If Poch wants Zaha then we should get him as we do need someone with a bit of...

    I hope Rose is available again, give him a quarter of an hour.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea Rent Boys F.A Cup SF ***

    At risk of reigniting this thread two observations which ought have received more attention: 1. How and why did Janssen not get on for the last 10 mins when we needed two goals, especially as we could have made a fourth sub if it went to extra time? Doesn't bode well for him. 2. Why did we not...

    Yup it is.

    *** Tottenham vs Crystal Palace OMT ***

    We need cover for Kane and a Hazard/Mane like ball carrier/scorer to induce panic in opposition ranks. I go for the Dembele fix: Moussa of Celtic, then more importantly Ousmane. I suspect we will need Rose cover, if not Shaw then Sessegnon, or vice versa. These guys will cost but that will give...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea Rent Boys F.A Cup SF ***

    What and at 3-2, down we were not desperate? For me, it should be as good as binary, either you are fit to play or are not. If you get a knock while on the pitch you might have to carry on at the risk of making things worse, if the game hasn't started and you have a knock then, in modern...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea Rent Boys F.A Cup SF ***

    So what was he doing on the bench? Poch is allowed to try something different, it doesn't always work out for Coaches. Learn and move on is all we should do. I think a more interesting point asides of the speed of grass was how we should deploy. I think on a big pitch having 3 CBs marking one...

    We aim to win one game at a time, see if they get nervous. I will give up until mathematically impossible. Not accept taking it easy, record points or not.

    Not quite yet a trophyless last season at the lane, small matter of the Premier league lay for. I don't see the fat lady singing. Play the best team and go for it. Get Rose back to give us a boost, only if fit mind you.

    We've been here before, but ended up selling our better players. Who is to say it won't happen again?

    Not really, when we lost at the Bridge, we didn't have a left back available. This time we did and he ignored him. Also, in the last few games 4-2-3-1 has worked excellently, so why not revert to it at 2-2, and make a hard decision about removing a fav in Wanyama?

    I don't think the players bottled it today. They kept coming back, did it twice most teams can't do that in important games. The selection didn't help them.
