Have we ever had it? I have been a spurs fan as long as i can remember(20 odd years) and whenever I watch my beloved spurs i have this sinking feeling that we are always on the brink of another defensive disaster. I can't really explain it but watching the Manchester teams and the Chelseas and Arsenals it always gets me how solid they look compared to my good old spurs, we make Johnny Evans look world class.
Now this is how I feel about spurs, but am I just remembering the bad times, or is this a re-emerging issue for spurs? I heard the way Danny Mills and that liverpool-geezer on motd talked about how defending is the easiest part of the game and how we are failing the most basic stuff. It makes me think how do they handle this from a coaching standpoint, cause we are looking like a pub team defensively, if stuff like this is purely down to new signings/new defensive line-ups playing together, and if so, how does stuff like this not get taking into consideration when selling/loaning players like calker and bae.
