Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

We should play 2 up top at home every time. Dempsey clearly isn't working I'm sure we can all agree on. With Ade suspended we may well have no choice which is another massive fudge up on our part in itself. Did AVB not inform Levy he'd like another striker before the deadline?
 
Steff, people will always compare the current manager to previous Spurs managers, especially one as polarising as Redknapp.

It's not just on here that where the atmosphere has become poisonous, it's the same at the WHL. A lot of fans are dissatisfied for whatever reason. The team have been booed off at half time and full time in various games, but this is not new to spurs fans. I'm hoping AVB opts for a 4-4-2 against West Ham, we need to be positive.

Agreed, the Lane is fast-becoming miserable. We need to take it back. Maribor was a good start. Away games are much much more fun.
I think AVB is trying to be more positive, but am interested in how he can play 4-4-2 against the spammers? But I agree, positivity on and off the pitch is vital right now mate...
 
West Ham and Liverpool at home coming up. MASSIVE games for us, we need points to stay in touch with the top 4 (and keep them behind us). Need everyone to get behind the team, these two games could make or break our season IMO.

Must Win?
 
I genuinely, genuinely feel that last weekend will prove THE turning point.
If Dembele IS back, then we will absolutely be fine on Sunday.
i agree though, big two games and I believe we will prevail...Liverpool match will be a cracker IMHO...

love the optimism Steff.:) just hope it isn't a turn for the worst.
 
Agreed, I hope not too BUT I saw enough last Saturday to convince me that with big players back we will play some great stuff and win more matches!

I'm also loving the optimism :)

we did well without Ade as long as Dembele was around, hopefully with Dembele returning we'll do alright without Ade for his 3 games out and after that we'll see both of them in the same team.

My worry is our defensive frailties which AVB needs to address before I can feel optimistic. Too many individual errors at the back are costing us cheap goals and we are conceding late goals in every match. Gallas looks past it and we need to settle the Goal keeper issue- please le t it be lloris. Believe that AVB has made a mistake dropping Dawson. He should be playing prem games and Gallas playing in the cups. This was a problem for AVB at Chelsea where his defence often completely lost its shape remember bosingwa going awol and Terry looking completly lost - sound familiar this season only replace Bosingwa and Terry for Walker and Gallas. The Arse game just showed we cannot hold on to any lead and defensive solidity has to be number one priority if we are to achieve any thing this season. Oh by the way didn't think it was particularly brave to change at half time against Arse. the game was already lost and we needed to find a way back in. that was really the only option. Had AVB changed to the second half formation at 1-1 or 1-2 now that would have been brave.
 
West Ham were utterly brick against Stoke, with their wingers both missing Carroll looked like a spare part. Should be a straight forward 3 points.
 
i hope AVB gets some luck out there on the pitch, and in the transfer market. Im liking him more
 
Should be a comfortable 3pts as its a home game against an at best average side.

under normal circumstances yes

but we are having a poor run at the moment, at home we are yet to really put on a decent performance for close to 90 mins, so yes i expect 3pts but i dont think it will be a "comfortable" 3 pts.
