wow I must have been asleep for those. if it was because they refused to move then Dan should have sent them home and told them to not to return, because we needed committed players. I have only seen 1 decent performance from all named this season, Rose away to Red Star, unfortunately he has cost us points in the league.

Yeah, but what tier is he?
Fact is backed or not backed. However we stumbled upon it he had our best starting Xi for 30 odd years possibly 55 years and won absolutely nothing. I wouldn’t be surprised if in years to come when/if he flops elsewhere the narrative will change a lot to Pochettino having wasted a golden Spurs generation. I’ve always been in the chicken and egg school of thought. Did kane and Dele make Pochettino or did he make them. As said we won’t truly find out till he goes onto another project.

fully agree. it has been my ad nauseum opinion that the runs in the box are less than great unless there are four or five defenders at most. the players aren't sacrificing as much their positioning to create space for others or to make defenders make decisions. part of that is the park the bus problem, but even then, there is little attempt to even test. but Trips should still identify the real problem rather than intimating that he was told to just cross it.
reading what you wrote, i'm thinking back especially to Toby's long balls and how they aren't nearly as good today as they were three years ago. so we did it right at one point in the past but now, the other team has figured out how to defend or our players are not moving the same. you are onto something

Out of the three Poch is the most likely to become available. Sounds like they will jump on him if and when that happens, rather than potentially wait and miss out like they did with Tuchel before.

Come on chaps, don't fight. As well as it being personally upsetting to see two of my favourite posters duking it out, there has to be a middle ground out there that we can agree on. Something with a bit of nuance, some light and shade.Yeah Dan should have sent the naughty school kids home from school and told them not to return...you know I sometimes wonder if you live in a dreamworld up there on cloud 9

none of us know the real reasons why players weren't sold. if he is stubborn with his prices then it is his fault, if the players didn't want to join another team because of not wanting to join them because of where the club was situated or wages, then it's not his fault, but to have so many players not wanted is definitely not helping Tottenham let alone Poch.
if I ever make it to cloud 1 I don't want to come back

Sorry Totally Football Show, the Euro edition with James Richardson, Julien Laurens, James Horncastle, Raph Honigstein plus others...recommended.
The one thing you definitely notice at spurs is the amount of wasted crosses that are just played blindly by Aurier and Rose, we've always done it under Poch. The daft thing is, Kane now tends to come short for the ball so theres never anybody in the box to capitalise.
This, just like eriksen taking corners/free kicks is one of my main gripes against Poch, he just never seems to address the issue and continues to let it happen.

I still can't get over this. The common refrain was that he was under instruction to intentionally aim for the near post, hence often hitting the first man. But then as soon as Lamela started taking them regularly, we could see that was a load of rubbish. He was consistently hitting the middle of the box.
