You really see no other possible explanation for not creating enough chances than a weakness of mentality and non-commitment? Really? No other explanation?
Off course the players go out there and try..not saying they don,t and they try hard. The trouble with Tottenham Hotspur football club is we don,t have the mindset! We don,t have the mindset that we are really capable of playing at a higher level.
It,s always the same isn't,t it?
Spurs will always let you down.
We are not moving on to a new era...a new dawn!
We have had times recently when we have looked up knowing we are capable of more in terms of winning at a higher level. Even the media were saying that Poch had given the players a new attitude and belief...a more stronger approach..play till the end of the game mindset. I think we have slipped back a bit on this ever since that dreaded Chelsea game knocking the stuffing out of our fight and belief in that approach and themselves to fight on!
This season we have one of our best squads. Personally I think we are short of a player or two that can push us forward in the midfield. Dare I say it a gazza! Whatever you say about him he had a belief in himself on a football field apart from when he got so wound up in that cup final.
We have to have a couple of players capable of taking the game to the opposition and create chances. No chances no goals..obvious. Son is that kind of player..though not a midfielder. Eriksen is too, but probably does not have enough belief and movement to make chances on his own . He,s a better player when Kane is there beside him who can hold on to th e ball longer. Dembele would be a supr eme midfielder if he attacked more and got his shooting act together.
We bought three defenders and one striker this Season that we probably needed
But unfortunately failed to find the kind of player I have been suggesting in the midfield!
Remembers scholes. Not exactly my kind of player but he could shoot and hold on to the ball.
On more more than one occasion we were beaten by yanited simply by his ability to Shoot hard and low at the goal scoring and causing problems for our defence. We need this kind of option coming from the midfield and the ability to attack. It's all about creating chances and having the skill and belief in their ability.
We can,t rely on Kane alone to spearhead everything. Maybe Llorente can play a part here if Poch picks him once in awhile. He,s one of the best headers of a ball you can get and has not had one header so far.
Coming back to mindset. As a club we have to have the mindset and skill, belief that we can beat any fanny!
And they are a load of Fannie's!
It takes a new mind set that this club can win things if they developed the skill and strength as well! And a never die attitude.
It has to be a Team mindset. I feel we are definitely moving forward to that end...but let's not ever go back to thinking we are second best. Get that attitude out of our brains.
That includes some of our fans at HOME as well who lack support halfway through the match and go all quiet"even when we are fudging winning" That feeds through to the players!
Come on you Spurs...".............
