Good point, good performance. Players looked knackered at the end, another ten minutes and Spurs probably would’ve won it. Nobody can fault the players’ commitment. Brighton game is absolutely massive. They’ll come here for a 0-0 draw, it’s the only way Brighton know how to play.

Very good point. We MUST beat Brighton

Jesus how did that not go in

Brilliant, great to see him giving Obafemi a chance.

Positive attacking change coming up!!!! Now THAT is a surprise

Won’t happen unless we lose: These things when planned never work. Has to be a spontaneous thing, after a big defeat

We’ve looked good today, just like in the first half at Watford. Tottenham have been quite poor really. The question is what will Pochettino do to change it, and how will Pellegrino react?

Defensively we look shocking today.

I was thinking of that post when he sent it in!

I think he’d be better as a DM tbh

Attack is our best form of defence

I wonder if Cedric will manage a successful cross today. Him getting an assist might be asking too much of him.

I agree, but a weak bench. Also shows how much the players have let themselves down this season.

No Eriksen is massive. He is the one who really makes them tick.

That’s the team I would’ve gone along with, although probably Long playing as he had a good game last weekend. Obviously if he’s ill then Gabbiadini is the obvious replacement. No Sims on the bench.

Interesting. I wonder if that’s a message from MP to the board - get a bloody striker in

IF he and Les Reed can put aside their differences and work together, then he’d be by number one choice. I think though his bridges may have been burnt.

AND a cup final... Anyhow, Puel has managed to prove that I was right all along. If others believe that I keep going on about him then fine, I promise that from this point onwards, I won’t mention his name again. Likewise others should as well. On reflection, I’m struggling to think of a better person to take over than Marco Silva, so get him in, but we should all be very concerned about what happens when things start going wrong.

I definitely agree with this.

I don’t believe I’ve ever said that.

If he gets the team to attack then we will do OK. I think his loyalty is a concern though, and the way he handled things after Everton came in for him was dreadful.

Yes, capitulated. Their form over ten games is worse than ours!

If he gets the team to attack and gives them their confidence and belief back, then fine, we’ll do well. My worry is that doesn’t tend to stick around very long, isn’t very loyal, and completely lost the dressing room at Watford. I just don’t think he’d be a good fit for us at all. The way Watford capitulated after Everton came in for him is a massive concern. If he can’t even motivate himself, how can he motivate the players?

I’d argue Duckhunter posts more about Puel than I do.

Finally some common sense in this thread. No doubt you’ll be attacked for ‘trolling’ though
