    "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."

    I do not get it. We have a terrible run of performances playing largely the same players in the same system. Why would you either not try tinkering with the system or personnel? I don't think one can keep trotting out the same excuses if there is no willingness to at least try something else...

    Spurs v Stoke - Official match thread

    I agree with the defensive change. I can't understand how youy persist with a system that requires fast overlapping full backs when you are playing full backs who have can't do that job.

    20 years....it's just unacceptable

    While a lot of cogent arguments have been made in this thread, I still haven't seen a better theory than my deal with the devil for why we haven't finished above them for 20 years. Am I right in believing that no other team can hold that over us?

    20 years....it's just unacceptable

    that we have finished below the red menace for that long. It defies logic that we have finished above the other top three but not them. I swear that Wenger struck a Faustian bargain that guaranteed it.....and when he is gone their stadium will spontaneously combust!

    *** Tottenham Hotspur vs. Saudi Sportswashing Machine Utd *** OMT

    Clearly, keyboard warriors don't have access to this information. However, one can make a judgement based on his performances to date. Based on that, what would you do? I would play John Pratt over him.... ;)

    *** Tottenham Hotspur vs. Saudi Sportswashing Machine Utd *** OMT

    Quick straw poll. Is there any poster who would pick Paulinho over the other options?

    Tim Sherwood Testimonial OMT Spurs v Aston Villa 11th April

    Very disturbing. One can make numerous excuses -- we are physically and mentally tired, players aren't good enough, we have nothing to play for -- but the decline from the Chelsea and Arsenal victories to now is staggering. Porous in defense while lacking creativity up front against teams that...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur vs. Leicester City *** OMT

    My concern is that even with better players not having the full backs in a defensive position will still lead to the problems that we are seeing. That is a systemic rather than player issue.

    *** Tottenham Hotspur vs. Leicester City *** OMT

    So far, this prformance suggests last week was not a bad day at the office but that our philosophy has serious flaws.....

    *** Tottenham Hotspur vs. Leicester City *** OMT

    Everyone can see this issue yet we keep playing this way. I can only conclude that Poch is prepared to trade off this vulnerability for a perceived additional attacking threat. However, it seems that we are always likely to concede and on a day when the opponent has its shooting boots on...

    *** OMT - TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs. Leicester City ***

    NBC shows all the games over several platforms. However, the majority are usually shown online and are only accessible if you have a cable provider that has the appropriate deal with them. Some games are on the regular NBC channel (4) but the majority on TV are on the cable NBCSN. For tomorrow...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur vs. Partizan Belgrade EL OMT ***

    I don't see how its just the players. If we keep pushing our full backs high up the pitch, there will always be huge gaps down the flanks. But we are doing it game after game and look so vulnerable as a result.

    So many areas of concern --where to start?

    A three match winning run that ends in defeat is not normally the time for expressing real concerns about the future of a team, but I have a bad feeling about where we are heading now. I don't think that I am alone in viewing our recent run as fortuitous and there appears to be numerous areas...

    Positives from today's game...

    I have watched it a few times and it is clear that Lamela was not marking Morrison. Instead, he was designated to take up a position in the six yard box, marking space. Although it isn't 100% clear, I believe that Paulinho (yes, him) was with Morrison and then heads towards the ball as Morrison...

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    While we haven't seen it in his appearances to date, I can tell you that he is able to use his right foot to good effect. At the open training session in Toronto he was able to hit shots with power and accuracy with his right. I assume that it is a confidence thing that has meant that he has...

    Hugo Lloris

    Re: Hugo Lloris - part two Based on what I saw at the open training session in Toronto, and the subsequent game, I agree with your conclusion. At the practice there was notable pressing with a view to getting the ball played back to the goalie who would then be pressed in turn. It was...

    Preseason 2014

    FWIW, when I saw him close up in Toronto, I felt that he looked some way short of full fitness and carrying more weight than normal.
