Sorry boss. I'll try harder.
Tbf such was the criticism he received amongst some quarters, I dont necessarily think that should be considered trolling
Yep. Bentaleb or Carroll for the holding role. Mason plus hopefully another kid for the more attacking CM spot. Superb

Agreed.
Nabil is a future skipper for sure. The boy's a winner. He lifts things. I like the pair of them for sure.

Pathetic.
I have no problem calling you out on trolling.
How unnecessary!
I think Sherwood is a tool, yet praised him for bringing Nabil into things last season and wanted him to be considered for skipper duties sooner than later.

Agree on Carroll, would love to see how he might flourish with Poch. I think you might be right with Onomah, he could be one of the kids Poch has his eye on promoting before the season is out.

Bentaleb was stronger and quicker yesterday than I remember him being at any other point in his nascent Spurs career. His runs forward were powerful and his pressing was great. He seems to have gotten a bit taller and bulkier as well, which can only be good.
Perhaps he's the key to Poch's pressing system.

agree totally
For me Carroll isnt an attacking midfielder/playmaker type. He's someone who sits deep in midfield and moves the balls quickly. People will always question his size but being a DM is no longer about being able to boot players up in the air - its about being in the right position to intercept/challenge and providing a base for your team so that others like the fullbacks can push on. David Batty types dont exist any more

David Batty wasn't that big anyway was he?
I dont see how thats trolling, its what plenty alluded to when Sherwood is in charge regardless of whether you gave him such credit.....

I'll explain my point. Why bring it up now? We won a game, Bentaleb played well again, thankfully the outbreak of Sherwood posts were quelled, yet BOOM! Someone tries to troll it right back to the surface again, as if it's going to make a difference. It adds nothing to the thread or conversation other than perpetuating some asinine 'points scoring game'...I believe (sadly IMO) there is a thread somewhere on this forum for those who want to re-visit recent history. I wish comments about the likes of him would be dumped straight there so as the vast majority of us who wish to move on can do so freely.
Carroll, if he continues to get games on loan, should stay on loan.
What we need to bring in is an experienced head (Davids/Naybet type signing), get rid of Dembele & Capoue.
Let Bentaleb/Mason learn from that experienced player, use in pressure situations/etc.

Nigel De Jong was my suggestion for that 'experienced head'.... The problem (if one could call it that) is that he still probably has at least 3 seasons left at the top level. We could bring in him and Delph however (both only 6 months left on their deals) and lose Capoue and Dembele and have significant funds left over to put towards a centre forward/centre half.
