Spurs Banter Archive November 10 2013

 

Use our rumours form to send us spurs transfer rumours.

2 statistics from the premiership, Spurs have the highest % possession and third lowest goals scored 9 goals. Only Sunderland 8 and Palace 6 have scored less. This must mean that tactics are wrong but yet AVB will not make a change to his tactics. It is time to bring Ade back and play him alongside Soldado or Defoe. AVB blames everything ( even the fans ) for our poor performances, ie. everything except his tactics. Bring in Ade and speed up the play.

AVB's first mistake was leaving Sandro on the bench . If it had been him going into the tackle with the Newcastle player just before the goal, there would have been no doubt who would win the ball . Paulino tackled like a little fairy!
His next mistake was not playing Lennon! Sorry if you disagree but Townsend has gone right of the boil but I bet England see a different player next week! People keep moaning about Erikson but with the amount of players hogging the middle, and the speed we play at, what do you expect him to do?
Mistake number 3 was not playing Lamela! How to batter someone's confidence, play well, get dropped!
Then we come to good, honest Daws! Sorry but how much longer is AVB going to persist with him! Out of position, out of touch, too slow, consistent habit of playing long passes out of defence straight to the opposition, the list is endless! Thanks but no thanks!

Agree fully Davo. Treatment of Lamela is a disgrace. He is a proven top class player and we should stick with him until he fits in to our style. Very frustrating to think that two home wins against West Ham and Newcastle would have us a point clear at the top and we could have done with those extra points with games against United and City coming up. It was the dropping of silly home points last year which cost us CL qualification in the long run. It must be clear to the most stupid person that Soldado will not work as a lone striker and neither will Defoe. We need a target man (Ade) to hold up the ball and create chances etc for Soldado/Defoe. If AVB does not change tactics soon I fear it will be too late. Every team coming to the Lane will do the same thing ie. park the bus knowing that we do not have a clue how to break it down.

Agree0 Disagree0

Lamela has had not good game, like Lloris, AVB will bed him in slowly. Just look how well Lloris is doing now!

I know it's frustrating but things will come good. It will just click on day. Today Krul was amazing, we played a lot better today even though we lost.

7 new players and none of them fit to lace bale's boots I miss him already and I think townsend is so overrated

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Agree, and it looks like at least 2 of these will not make the grade ie. Chadli/Erickson and the jury is out on Soldado. Vlad and Capoue look to be the best signings and possibly Paulinho. We need a class playmaker, hopefully Pierlo in January.

Agree0 Disagree0

Pauli, it's Paulinho that's slowing our game up, and that tackle in the middle was pathetic! We need Capoue back, vert back in the middle, and an attacking left back!

message to levy get rid of avb in the international break he is rubbish spent over 100 mill and we are struggling we have not scored 2 or more goals in a premier league match why did he not play lamela or lennon against newcastle

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Yeah then get back 'arry. all our young players with potential, replace them for older more proven players then maybe in a few years time we could replace 'arry with a good young manager and finally we could challenge for top 4.

Incase you missed it that was sarcasm. It was only 3months ago people were on here saying AVB is best young manager out there, now he's not good enough for Spurs. We all knew it would take time for the team to gel and although it's painful to watch just think, it can only get better!
Stand by Spurs, we will come good.

Agree0 Disagree0

Well said spurs1985 jeepers creepers I am so glad avb is in charge and not most of people on here. he will prove everyone wrong and he will succeed

Agree0 Disagree0

Agreed DD, some people on here really miss the idea behind support. I dislike a loss as much as the next supporter but seems some of the guys on here want us to do bad so they can have a moan. Before anyone says "well that's what sites like this are for" read the heading again, it says BANTER site, not slag of your team site!

That was hard watching, first half in particular. The build up play is soooooo slow, we MUST up our tempo and get at teams quicker. People say the opposition come to the Lane and put 10 men behind the ball, that's just not true, we take so bloomin long to move forward they have all the time in the world to organise their defence. Can't believe how slow our tempo is.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I have been saying this for long enough. Where is our pace

Again, we are the laughing stock of the premier league!

A 'good' team, not top, 'good' team, would at the very minimum get a draw from that game. www.loosingthefaith.com

Sick as ****

I'm sorry but that was just awful. Townsend was a complete waste of space today! He needs to pass or get used to warming the bench again! Dawson is slow and yes wears his heart on his sleeve but isn't good enough for us anymore. I don't know how long AVB will insist on picking him! Trust Krul to have a worldy but in general our performance was shocking. Not impressed!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

The keeper having a worldy should not make a difference to a supposedly top 4 team.

We simply are not good enough.

Back to a life of misery as a spurs supporter. The norm!

And man city LOST to sunderland its a topsy turvy league at present arsenal lost to aston villa chelsea also lost to newcastle and didn't give as good a showing against newcastle as we did. Manchester United have also lost to west brom liverpool lost to sunderland so we are all giving up points or are none of the above a top four team either. loses happen especially when the keeper has a game like krul did, we are in the hunt and will get a top four spot

Agree0 Disagree0

Liverpool did NOT lose to Sunderland, Liverpool beat Sunderland, Liverpool lost to Southampton and Arsenal.

Agree0 Disagree0

Tbh Red Ant, nobody on here really cares! The point he was making was still valid. All teams are dropping points they are expected to win.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think Lennon is better then Townsend. Townsend ran around like a headless chicken today and achieved nothing. I would also play Lamela and stick with him. He is already proven as a top player so we should stick with him until he comes good. I am worried about AVB as a coach. He is not able to change the approach when things are not working. Why was Erickson not replaced by Holtby?

I blame AVB. We need a target man to hold play and make chances for Soldado. It is clear after 11 games that the tactics do not suit Soldado as a lone striker. It is becoming obvious now why none of the top clubs came in for Ericksson. Sign Pierlo whatever the cost or else no top four. Very disappointed.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Pauli we have got one in ADI but our stubborn manager still wants to play his way that dnt work.
Wingers on wrong side
Slow keep ball
Everything through the middle

Avb too stubborn remember how he lost the Chelsea job. Can blame the players today. Dnt tell me the keeper played well no excuse

Agree0 Disagree0

What we need is some speed going forward, too much slowing the pace down against these so called easier teams. All well and good away against the top 6 teams. But Newcastle at home, seriously. We are a joke.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wow, not only do we have Dawson playing the 40 yard pass ( badly ) now we have Friedal trying it ( just as badly ) .

Believable0 Unbelievable0

10 Nov 2013 11:53:17
Sorry to moan before the game but why is Soldado playing? Here is a striker that needs good service into the box, and we are playing two wingers that can't get to the bye line more than twice in a game between them . So we now have three players playing in eriksons position, and to add to that we have Paulino and Dembele, both box to box midfielders, filling that space as well! No solid defensive cover, no doubt we will play the high defensive line, with friedal in goal!
The mysteries deepen!
