***OMT: Tottenham Hotspur vs. Fulham *** Sunday, December 1, 1:30 pm UK

I said last season Son was cooked and there was only a couple who thought it then, it's become more obvious to people this season. I honestly think him being captain hinders us on a few levels, we need someone else as captain and him no longer a starter. How on earth Werner was taken off and not Son I have no idea.....

Captain and key player for the brand
Had a Korean mum and son next to us on Thursday. As is always the way they were super polite and friendly but were in shock at the reaction to sons misses and lack of control when down our end in the fist half
I tried to explain that he isn’t the son we know and love but of course that means nothing when you have travelled and spent a fortune to see your idol

 

[Bedfordspurs]

He just wants to play the game his way. Is that such a bad thing?

But he can’t play it his way with the players he is picking
That’s a bad thing

 

[Baleforce]

At least we won possession…

You hire a philosophy manager, this is what you get. I’m okay with it to be honest.

there is a very real danger of missing out on the CL, again

We aren’t gonna qualify for it. Is that a sackable offence?

yeah

if doing anything to get the points isn't on his agenda

it's not a fudging art project

What if he wins a pot?

Our squad has barely got the strength in depth to cope with Europa League, suspect we’ll need a couple more summers of painful rebuilding before we have sufficient quality to avoid getting embarrassed by CL opposition whilst challenging for top 4 in PL.

There comes a point if you're being too stubborn it's a bad thing. Every other manager will compromise on their principles if it gets them points.
Being smart at times is needed, slowing the game down and breaking up the flow of the game when you are under pressure etc. Is going long once in a while really that much of a crime and breaking his philosphy? I'd guess asking for the back post to be defended properly is going a step too far and would defenitely be going to much against his philosphy.

Think it's more a couple of years of developing the younger players alongside adding a couple of players rather than a painful rebuild.

 

[Baleforce]

I care about being in the CL, I don't give a toss about either domestic cup.

I hate the way we play.

better that than the embarrassment of not even qualifying imo

He does need at least another 2 windows
But he also does need to use his squad smarter

Yes.when at times it's not always possible

 

[Mrs Vert]

Then Levy will probably sack him a week before .
I hope I'm wrong but I don't think we will this season.

The problem is we don’t have anyone to replace him. I agree he should have come off today as he was having a shocker, and maybe Moore will be the player who eventually takes his position but I do also think people are forgetting how bad Werner has been most of the season in front of goal, great assist today but he’s not good enough to start the majority of games. Then we also have Odobert injured. Werner shouldn’t have come off today but we aren’t exactly blessed with top class wingers and strikers.

you don't have to be a top class striker to be a better option up there than Son

Fair do. I still think you can have principles a d use subs better and change a little when during the game everyone can see certain players ain't delivering. Adapting doesn't mean abandoning everything you believe in
