    The Inbetween Transfer Windows Rumour Thread

    2 of Isco, Willian or Moutinho is the difference between us and chelski, heck even one of them would make a huuuge difference. If we were better at keeping posession, the defence wouldn't be exposed as often as it has been at times during the season. We need another striker and a pacey winger...

    Someone had to do it... the positives thread.

    The main positive for me was the fact that AVB dared to play two strikers and also made a relatively succesful change to 3-4-1-1 at ht. I feared that he was a manager that would rather fail than change his tactical stance. Very happy that he seems to be able to adapt the formation according to...

    Tom Carroll

    I agree with you that he deserves the chance soon, but the physical presence of West Ham might be too much for him. Really hope Dembele will be ready soon.

    Financial Fair Play

    Re: O/T Financial Fair Play As much as I like the idea of Financial Fair Play, I equally hate the idea of a fixed wage cap. Of course Man Utd should be allowed to pay higher wages as they make more money and if a club decides to blow their entire wage budget on only a couple of players, then...

    The Inbetween Transfer Windows Rumour Thread

    Isco has been used as an attacking midfielder for Malaga, but as a player he reminds me a lot of Fabregas, so I think he could develop into a world class central midfield playmaker. Unfortuantely Malaga are doing very well this year, so I think it's highly unlikely he'll make a move in the...

    *** OMT -- TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs ARSENAL -- OMT ***

    I think this analysis is much more interesting, as it divides the chances into shots and clear cut chances: http://www.eplindex.com/20985/bad-scoring-goals-liverpool-fc-stats-analysis.html This analysis shows that out of the top 7 teams, we've created the fewest clear cut chances. This goes in...

    Dempsey

    I get your point, but as long as it doesn't become personal I see it more as a sign of fans wanting the team to progress as much as possible and in that process I think it's natural to identify the weakest link in the team. For me it's nothing personal, I just don't think he has the quality to...

    Dempsey

    Don't think you can say his stats look decent based on the passing accuracy alone, as making sideway or backward passes will give you af high PA. For a player in his position I believe the stats he should be judged on is the amount of through balls (0), shots (0), key passes (1) and dribbles...

    ***OMT- Tottenham Hotspur vs Emirates Marketing Project*****

    Seriously doubt they will do that, as a 3-man defence is weak against teams that are strong on the wings and that is pretty much what we are all about at the moment. Fully agree with your line-up, although I believe AVB will use Sigurdsson instead of Adebayor. I know we're not playing well...

    Ratings vs Maribor

    This is why I like the Europa League. A game against a significantly weaker opposition that can help to build up confidence and get the chance to see some of the squad players. Lloris - 5,5 - A whole point deducted because of the mistake that led to the goal. Walker - 7 - His best game this...

    Have we frittered away £30m ?

    I know Gylfi is still young and obviously lacks confidence, so we'll probably see some improvement from him over time. I just don't think he'll ever come close to the level required for a player in that position, which I base on his relatively slow movemement and lack of dribbling skills, which...

    O/T How long will it be until a team wins the Premier League playing 4-4-2

    I guess this thread was started as a reaction to AVB refusing to play 4-4-2. With Lennon and Bale it would always be a very open 4-4-2 with to wide wingers. This formation would be punished against some of the better teams. However against teams like Wigan at home, we should definately be more...

    Have we frittered away £30m ?

    If Spurs are to ever compete with the big boys is in the league, then all major transfer signing have to be spot on. It simply can't be allowed to make so many mistakes at the transfer market, as have been made over the past 4-5 years. The new style we have become known for is about pace...

    O/T How long will it be until a team wins the Premier League playing 4-4-2

    Don't think it will ever happen in an old school 4-4-2 with two traditional wingers, as matching the numbers in the middle are crucial to control games. Might work in a 4-4-2 like the one Redknapp used with Kranjcar and Modric as playmakers cutting in from the left. Think it also might be...

    *** TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Wigan Athletic OMT ***

    Oh dear what a poor half, Wigan have been far the better side! We only look remotely threatening when Bale and Lennon create something on their own. Very unfortunate that Sandro had to go out as we can't afford to make two subs in at half-time. Should put Ade on for Dempsey, who has done close...

    *** TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Wigan Athletic OMT ***

    How many times have Gallas played it for Friedel even though Huddlestone has been available?? Would rather have Naughton at left back and Vertonghen at centre back to set up the play from the central defence. It's Wigan ffs!

    Norwich City Ratings

    Ok then, but out of curiosity, what do you base this on? The little I have watched him at Hoffenheim and Swansea, he never made me think this is a player that could be a Spurs player. To me he simply lacks vision, skills and quick feet to beat his opponent, besides that it's worrying how he...

    Norwich City Ratings

    Well it's definately not as a lone striker. I think he has been best for Fulham when used in the hole or cutting in from the left. Although he hasn't really impressed there as well. Both Dempsey and Sigurdsson looks like players bought because of their scoring statistics rather than their...

    Norwich City Ratings

    A loss was not a fair reflection of the game as they were kept down to a minimum of chances. Conceeding two goals from set pieces in the last ten minutes is just unacceptable. Lloris - 7 - Looks very good, hope he'll soon be our first choice. Naughton - 6,5 - Decent performance, showed again...
