I actually think that we're starting to turn a corner.

New players are coming in and performing well and we could easily have won either of the last 2 if things had gone our way.

I'd suggest that you show some patience with our manager. He's building his 2nd team at spurs on a shoe string budget while also transitioning us from an old stadium, to Wembley and then to put new stadium.

Turning a corner. Honestly I was at WHL yesterday, and Sheffield United absolutely outplayed Spurs from the very first minute. They should have won by two or three goals.

Nothing I saw yesterday, made me think Spurs are turning a corner, they if anything are getting worse. The football is the worse for years, unable to string more than a couple of passes together, no effort, making basic mistakes all over the pitch.

I have shown plenty of patient with the manager, but this form has not just turned up in the past couple of games, it has been going on for months and months. And the manager is not building his second team at all, most of the first team were at the club before he turned up. And he has just signed Spurs record signing, so can hardly say he is doing it on a shoestring. He is getting found out big time, and journeymen managers like the Sheffield United Manager and the Brighton Manager are absolutely out managing him.

Start smelling the coffee mate, before it becomes absolutely terminal.

Sandy, quite a few fans are starting to change their opinion on Poch. Alot of my mates were avid supporters of Poch but are starting to wonder. Other fans too.

Yesterday was the final mail for me. A great chance to get back to back wins, whilst winning and yet we were lucky to draw. Sheffield United were the better side yesterday and their disallowed goal was everything that is wrong with VAR. Poch is being done tactically in all St every game. Poch out 100%. Those who still want him in seem to think we can't get another rmanager in. If we want to go on the the level we aspire to, we have to be ruthless.

We will finish 12th or 13th at worst.

If kane, son, lo celso and ndombele are at the club next season with improved fitness we will be challenging for top 4 again. Transition season where we have been pushed back years through no to terrible transfer business the last 3 years.

A lot of Spurs supporters are still in denial mate, but the groundswell of Poch out is starting to gather pace. It is obvious this cannot go on for much longer.

I am astonished that Levy has not already sacked him. No other manager that I can think of either at Spurs or at any other club would have been given this much leeway. Managers have won titles, cups, European trophies and been fired within 12 months of their success. Yet Spurs just stumble on with Pochettino like he is actually going to turn it around, when it is patently clear he is not. I just don`t get why he is still at the club.

We are currently 12th, 6 points off relegation currently and things have to only improve. We have international recognisable players and a high profile coach.

We have International players that are playing like pub players and a supposedly high profile coach, who is absolutely useless now. A combination of both of those problems and you can see how dire it has become.

We are getting draws stacked up in games we could easily have lost which is keeping the points tally ticking over.

Are we actually? Didnt even look at that lol

Arsenal, spurs and united will be in the europa league spots

Sheff united are playing very well was always going to be a difficult game but this often happens first half of the season with newly promoted sides especially who havent been in the top flight for a while, extra motivation so play out their skins early on then fade 2nd half of the season.

Spurs will have a better 2020 and my bet would be us finishing 7th, but if that isnt improved on next season with us looking at a top 4 spot then Poch then could realistically be in trouble.

Really hope we have a good crack at the fa cup and good CL run.

I said it yesterday when people were predicting 4-0, 5-0, Sheffield United are a tough team to play. Yous won't be the only ones who struggle to get a result against them.

Whether people want Poch is up for debate but claims of a relegation battle are just silly.

That will only last so long mate, those draws will soon turn into defeats, as yesterday`s should have. It is not just the points dropped, it is getting outplayed in practically every game. When was the last game that Spurs really dominated in the Prem? Palace aside. I cannot think of any other game this season.

Well it really isn`t. Come back to me aroundabout Xmas times and see where Spurs are sitting. I would wager they would be a very lot closer to bottom three, than top four.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sheffield United may be tough, but they were playing Championship football just a few months back, so a team that recently played in a CL final should be absolutely taking them to the cleaners.

posted on 10/11/19

Well Sandy, mr panic station, maybe we will be the first team to win the CL and get relegated? Surely you would accept that?
You are the most vocal critic of not winning any trophies, in which case like you say we are in danger of relegation, would you not take that?

Ok, joking aside, no chance in hell we’ll be even remotely anywhere near the relegation zone by the eve of the season.
Yesterday’s draw is the issue of squad depth. Even in season 2015/16 when we where title chasers, we had hang ups from CL game in midweek and our performances suffered in the league game following.

You also have to give credit to Sheffield United who are not full of well known names but are well organised, well drilled and hard working unit and they deserved the points.
I didn’t expect an easy win yesterday. Spurs are in a transition phase and we are now getting the benefits of having all our signings, in other words, the fresh blood we need to inject in the side, being available for selection.
I think things will improve after the international break. The one thing that is annoying is things like Foyth being selected fir his country to play and if he gets injured it would disrupt the side, again!

Yet Poch is operating under those criteria of lack of quality in depth. Other managers couldn’t and went and spent ridiculous amount on individuals to bolster their sides. Ask Levy why Poch can’t do the same?

By the way, once Ndombele gets used to the pace of this league and can last full 90 mins, what a monster of a player we have. We have been missing such a player for years! Just watch
