To be honest with the talent Spurs brought in scoring at least one goal should have been easy. Paulinho, Soldado, Lamela are all class. What's the biggest problems with Spurs now? These new players not fully used to the league yet? Or are there other reasons?

This is like the second season in a row where they've completely replaced their midfield/attack. Takes time to put these players together.

You can't buy your way to a good team. Look at QPR. It takes time.
True but you'd think Spurs has much more experience in integrating players to the team than what QPR does.

Yep I suppose so. Once they get them going I think they'll be very strong opponents. Some very smart signings this summer.
 
I was worried about Pool losing yesday, but were still on top 4 and Suarez is back for the next match, so there's still hope for good things.

We need to improve though, and fucking quickly. Otherwise we'll end up 6+ points behind 4th as early as November yet again

No more 4 centrebacks at once pls

Damn. Sunderland have three big games coming up, right? Man Utd, Liverpool and who else?

Swansea. To be fair, our fixtures are a nightmare until december, particularly at home.

Sunderland are right there with us when it comes to north eastern lols bro.

No.

Di Matteo would be a lot more stable appointment at least.

He would but he is also a very conservative manager and we've had a lifetimes worth of negative dross in O'Neill's second season.

Just does not make sense why Ellis Short would let DC make all those changes and then fire him after 5 games. This is Dc's team and he has to be given to at least Jan to mould something.

Well, De Fanti is the one in charge of recruitment so it's not really Paolo's team. But I agree he should be given more time.

a way to spin it positively is that at least the 'undefeated' tag has gone, can act as an albatross for the team sometimes

needs to be a kick up the arse for them, though

You know what, I'm genuinely surprised by the lack of cards in this game, I'd expect the fouls to be coming in thick and fast and all we've had are a few yellows.

Oh now I see it,

Arbeloa - Nacho - Pepe - Carvajal
Yep, of all these four Pepe is the best one. Nacho hasn't shown to be any great talent yet but he's very young so he needs time, it's good he gets some playtime. Arbeloa is shit, Carvajal still hasn't settled down well.

The game is lost, might as well rest the players who weren't shit.

Nope. No reason to rest players when they have had a combined 100 minutes together. The excuse for Shinji is that he's not fit enough to play in big games. Same with Nani and Chicha. Why not at the very least get them more game time so they can gain some sort of form?

It just feels like some players have a very short leash while others can play shit and still get picked every game.

Maybe it was a translation error, and they are actually not shit enough. That's why Welbeck and Young still play.


fake edit: fucking finally...
