By pure luck I managed to avoid having to go to the game yesterday, but mere the sight of the team sheet yesterday was enough to predict we'd struggle. With the result you can predict exactly the type of performance we gave. Groundhog day
We've had three terrible team selections in the last week, and it seems AVB is making exactly the same mistakes as Redknapp did last season - indulging Bale at the expense of the side. Two players in the wrong position yesterday - Verts and Benny - when the obvious thing to is to put Bale at LM.
From now on in we really need to go back to basics. ...
If Lennon is out, Bale MUST play LM.
If Bale is given the #10 role, Benny MUST play LB to give us width.
Dawson MUST play every minute of every league game.
Dembele MUST play CM.
The defensive line MUST be slightly deeper.
We MUST play as little players out of position as possible.
Back to basics for the remaining 8

Me & HRH have had many opinion differences on here. The one thing we dont do is switch opinions at the flick of a switch - just to follow the opinion of another poster (or posters).
Weare has done this since the boards begun. When AVB was at Chelsea, he mocked him. When the boards turned against Harry, he joined in. When the boards were all pro-AVB - Weare was suddenly his number one fan.
Now things are not looking too good, sandy does a complete U-turn, and the next thing we've got Weare sticking up for him.
And just look at the posting style of Weare. Whereas i wrote a "Cards on the table" article praising performances after a couple of good wins, with Weare you just get outbursts, swearing & anger.
If the boards were blank, Weare wouldnt have a clue on what side of the fence to sit.

No wonder when youfirst came on here peopel thought it was a double account for Chicken
==================
...i remember this one. Two posters agreeing on one subject means its a duplicate account in Weare's book.
Yet he didnt stop to think that his total posting history mirrors what sandy says - which has been further proved on this article.
sandy could change teams & Weare would follow him onto another board...

HRH,
There was me saying all along that if we surpass last season's league position &/or points tally i would be writing an article to apologise for my poor judgement, yet now things are not going so well, hardly anyone is showing any grace or honesty the other way.
Funny that.

And as if your ante AVB and Spurs articles and posts interests the rest of us. You need to get your head out of chickens arris. All season you have slagged off the team and the manager, and now your are giving it large.
Weare is 10 times the supporter you will ever be. I think it is you that is out of sync with most on the boards. Try looking in the mirror sometime.

I have not done a U-turn you idiot, I supported AVB when the team were doing well, unlike you, and am merely saying that AVB has made some mistakes the past few games. Unlike you I do not rigidily stick to an opinion when I know it is wrong. If I think he is doing something not right, I will say so, and unlike you if I think he is doing something right, which he has for the majority of the season, I will praise him. I would imagine 95 per cent of reasonable minded people will do the same.
You and HRH have been slagging off the team and the manager from the day he came in with no justification, so don`t give me all this shhhhhhhhhite about somehow it makes you a better poster than the rest of us. It doesn`t.

I'm sure you can see where HRH is coming from. All season you have been telling posters like myself & HRH how wrong, deluded and disloyal we are to suggest AVB wasn't our saviour (and Weare followed ), yet now you are kind of admitting that things are not being run very well at the moment, which is almost the opposite of what you have always mocked us for (and Weare has followed your opinion again, albeit the total opposite of what your opinion was before).
There is nothing wrong with changing opinions but i think its only right to acknowledge it, rather than simply pretend thats been your though process all along.
Oh & as for Weare being "10 times the supporter" HRH will ever be, i cant imagine HRH or any decent poster saying anything like this:
"gave up my season ticket after to many yrs of being sh-it"

Exactly - I haven't gone overboard with criticism of AVB today, just pointed out what has actually gone wrong this week.
It's fickle hypocritical posters like Sandy that get on my nerves, crawling round my article like a little weasel .

What a difference a month makes...
sandy 22/02/2013 Re AVB:
"I think Spurs have a manager and squad to really push on in the next few seasons. Surely nobody can doubt him now (Chicken and HRH apart)"
sandy 19/03/2013 Re AVB:
"I sometimes wonder how managers manage to fleece say £4 or £5 million out of clubs to be managers, when they cannot do even the simplest of thngs, like pick a team"
