Blimey. No wonder Levy looked p**sed today.
Not just because of the result, but Joe Lewis was sat next to him.
Is he here with his cheque book? Seems very strange timing as he never normally goes to spurs games.

Probably looked pi55ed about how much he paid for Lamela.

Capoue and bentaleb plus dembelle solid enough, but not fast enough for mopo, s fast flowing football, they slow it down, same for kaboul . we need schniderlin . We lacked a middle of the park leader today, was waiting for that spurs spark the rony rosentall come back, but never happened . We have issues, need faz at the back . Even that musscado as vertoghen was suspect .we need schniderlin in the middle . And two decent wingers as outlets adebyour played well, but we need different options, long balll kaboul reminiscent of the Dawson crossfield ball . We were to predictable today trying to go through the middle.no one tried to change things on the pitch, Wonder what happens tommorow . Some tinkering to do . Would like schniderlin, depay, klopianka . But not likely . Welbeck may be alright as a lone striker but with Townsend and Lennon Erickson on the wings you get no service, Erickson should play the no 10 roll . Out of it on wing

Kaboul how much longer is he going to be handed a Spurs shirt, WATCH players when Dembele comes on they constantly looking to pass to him as he has beating of defenders a drop of the shoulder and ghosts past players and slide rule passing ability but is not a DM and needs to be further up field which brings me on to DM why play a pressing game when 2 DM are sat in front of the CD 30 yards behind the front line and if you are playing DM Sandro is the best we have by a mile and can do the job on his own if the CD stay back like they did today. Still need a striker quality striker though

Agree1 Disagree0

The best two games I have seen Dembele in were for Fulham playing as a no 10 against us in an f.a cup match and he destroyed us and against Manchester United just before we brought him. He was dynamic and almost unstoppable.

Hard luck spurski.lol 3-1 you said

Did I?! You must of spent your giro on cider because I never said that. Enjoy while it lasts because no team has a divine right to be in the top 4, not even Liverpool the mighty team from the 1980's.

I will enjoy as our young team will only get better, sorry that was the raver who said 3-1 this champagne is going down a treat.

Agree0 Disagree1

Wouldn't start drinking that pop just yet Tommy, let's see how you get on playing 2 games a week with trips across Europe thrown into the mix. But I'll grant you, you showed us what our future could look like if MoPo can get our lot playing to the same standard as you.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2014 20:30:25
Enjoy your Babysham Tommy. Come bqck when you win the league.

Agree2 Disagree1

It's ok yellow card I don't drink, I can see you getting better with the team learning to gel a bit like us the difference between us is you seem to have very similar players in midfield were we have more pace in the right positions good luck for the season.

Agree0 Disagree1

Tommy it took Rodgers a couple of transfer windows and a season or more to get his style in place. MoPo's team is already showing some structure that didn't exist last year . Some deficiencies I agree but a foundation exists that can be built on with time . and there is the challenge for us Levy and time don't seem to go hand in hand.

im back down to earth with a bump just as I thought spurs may have turned a corner same old spurs they always let you down they were awful today and it was back to the avb days poch didn't have a clue what to do also please give soton townsend plus 15 mill for scniderlin townsend is utter rubbish I want him out and why pay 10 mill for ben davies and then keep the usless rose no wonder england never win anything when they pick players like them it will be the same again this year the big 4 will give us a hiding fed up again

Believable1 Unbelievable0

'Back to AVB days' omg, talk about overreaction. Shall we sack MP now?
Stupid comment.
Have you not thought that the likes of man city, chavski and Liverpool have the top 3 sown up? They are streets ahead of the rest of us.
People need to realise that 4/5/6 is going to be our battle this season.
I've always known our fans are fickle. We have played 5 games this season. We have won 4 and just lost our 1st. We have got majorly turned over by a top top side. MP's job as a manager will now be tested to the full to get us back on track.
It ain't all doom and gloom yet sunshine. 36 hours ago, we were the highest positioned team in the country. Out of all 92 professional teams. Sometimes though, obviously, that ain't just good enough.

Absolute shambles of a performance. Cannot take any positives from that game. Dier was terrible. Bentaleb offers nothing, Adebayor was useless. Eriksen I don't even know where to start he was so bad. So disappointed in that performance!

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Diers lack of PL experience was exposed - but playing alongside Verts, Rose and Kaboul he was actually the more solid of our back 4. Which is pretty sad statement of Verts and Kaboul in a big game.

Agree0 Disagree1

Have to disagree with you on that. He was all over the shop yesterday. Thought Rose was the best of a bad bunch yesterday but that ain't saying much.

Agree0 Disagree0

It's a sad day when we debate Rose or Dier as our better defender and Kaboul and Verts played in the middle of those 2.

Agree1 Disagree0

What a load of well locks.not mopos fault, players had no fight get rid of Townsend . Bring in general schniderlind . Maybe that is the prob, maybe some of them no there going? Tommorow .not good enough expected better suppose should not get caught up in the hype . Its going to be a long hard season .

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Step up in quality of opposition and pace/speed of attack exposed us again.

Agree1 Disagree0

Townsend needs to be kicked out the door. He is a complete waste of space.

Agree3 Disagree0

Totaly agree central defence center midfield to slow lathargic allowed Liverpool space , not one of them picked it up shouted abuse took control, we need general schniderlin to organise shout and take control

Agree1 Disagree0

Oh dear, oh dear. and there was everyone slagging me off last week after the QPR game because I had the temerity to suggest not a great deal had changed - still vulnerable in defense I said, and slow to move the ball around midfield, etc. I'm Talking out my A-hole someone even suggested, lol. I won't ask for an apology, I doubt whoever was will posting here much anymore :)

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Aug 2014 17:03:25
lads, why the long faces? get caught up in the hype did we? lol

Agree0 Disagree0

It was myself that suggested you were talking out your bottom Kristeva and I still firmly believe you were. Anyone that thinks Poch is going to wave a magic wand and change things instantly is deluded but I certainly believe in what he is trying to do and once he assembles the squad "he wants" then we will see a vast improvement.

Poch plays a high pressing game and Half the players we have are not suited to that but maybe their fitness levels are not of the standard Poch expects

Agree2 Disagree0

Craigh, we have a day left, Ponch isn't going to assemble the squad he wants and wouldn't even if we had two weeks left as Levy is to tight . As said, if you play the high defensive line, why two DM, why not Sandro? Bentaleb is young but not top six quality yet and isn't a DM, and Capoue is good enough but not at DM!

Agree1 Disagree1

31 Aug 2014 20:00:15
Fair play to you craig mate for showing your face, it can't have been easy. Firstly, I don't ever recall claiming Poch ought to be able to wave a magic wand and bring about instant change - you must have mistaken me for someone else there mate. I merely stated my opinion after the QPR game, which as it happens, turned out to be the obvious - that spurs defense leaks like a sieve and that our midfield manipulates the ball far too slowly, and too often taking the negative option. I guess that makes me an A-hole, lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

We both must have been mistaken for someone else because I don't recall calling you an a*sehole at any point but as I said we all make mistakes and you've clearly got a little mixed up, that's ok though because we're all friends on here ;-)

COYS!!

After so much talk of the schniderlin deal, which now seems to be off, I was wondering who he would have been replacing as we have about 50 cm/cdm? He seems to surplus to requirements I'm not really bothered that he is not coming.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Much better than anyone we have!

everton fan we have been linked with holtby on a year long loan from uses today would u be happy to cut ties with him or keep

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Can I make a personal plea to Mopo on this page Ed?

If he doesn't sign Wellbeck, I won't moan about Harry Kane, although he is doing his best to prove me wrong! Wellbeck is so over rated it is unbelievable! He can't even get in the Utd team . In fact I would rather Kane played for England than Wellbeck, ( oh no what have I said ) We don't need any more out wide players unless they are exceptional, Wellbeck is not, especially when we play with three number tens .
So please, an early Xmas present for me, NO WELLBECK!

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Trust the manager.

Agree2 Disagree1

Agree 100% Davo. I fail to see what he will add to the team. If anything he will stunt Kane's growth and progression. No thank you. He would be useful on loan though if Soldado was moved on.

I would like to see Dier keep his place in the team tomorrow.

Agree watched him play against QPR and he was brilliant has a confidence about him and seems to play a lot like jan.

Agree2 Disagree0

Do you think the same now since he had a shocker today and was at fault for 2 goals and out of position for the third?

Agree1 Disagree0

Clankers - where was the leadership from Kaboul and Verts in the defense?

Pick on Dier if you want, but it was his 3rd game in the PL, one knew the Reds would target him, we should have been setup better to help protect him. We could always have played Naughton there would you have wanted that?
