    Sandro - Beast

    I think we have looked a little open at the back during counters though, it's just that Norwich and Cardiff were too pathetic to punish us. Chelsea surely will have no problems doing so, so I'd rather have a dedicated DM there and bring Dembele on later after they've tired a bit (I expect them...

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    Re: Erik Lamela - Official That's what I mean by Ronaldo - he's still amazingly agile and quick-footed, he's just also strong enough to run with the ball without getting brushed off. Though Ronaldo is probably blessed with rare physical gifts, I think plenty of slight physiques are doing...

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    Re: Erik Lamela - Official I don't think he needs to build himself up as massively as Bale, who said that he gained too much muscle for a while and it actually impacted his pace. However, Lamela's a bit too lanky to go the Messi/Aguero Argentine route where they have massive legs and low...

    Official - Holtby

    Re: *Official* Holtby I'm not a fan of allowing set piece assists to count tbh, which I think make up at least 2 of Ozil's and 1 of Holtby's assists? I think minutes per key pass or per chance created in open play are much more useful stats than assists anyways as a measure of a player's...

    Vlad Chiriches

    Re: Chiriches official I'm not sure if Vlad and Vertonghen are the most suited together, since neither are especially aerially powerful; I think either one of them would work better with a strong blocker in Kaboul or Dawson. Vlad comes across as so inherently attacking-oriented that I think...

    OMT Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea, WHL, Sat 28 Sept

    It'll be 3-2, in either team's favor. We've actually been quite fortunate in terms of ref decisions so far.

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Re: AVB - Making Tottenham His Own I was a little annoyed we had to play Vertonghen, Walker, and Paulie, esp with Verts looking a bit tired these days, but I guess we had no choice with Chiriches so inexperienced in that backline and all our best youngsters out on loan. We do have a large squad...

    Poll: Now dust has setting, where do you expect us to finish in PL (Minimum?)

    If United don't buy Herrera or some other class player in Jan, they could well be in trouble and I'm not just saying it because of the Emirates Marketing Project defeat. In their game against Palace they looked remarkably lethargic and that is the real sign of danger, not getting smashed by City (yet again). They're...

    Official - Holtby

    Re: *Official* Holtby Holtby is always looking for that killer pass, it doesn't always come off and perhaps Eriksen is a bit more mature and intellectual, but Lewis is perfect when the game gets a bit frantic and legs start getting tired. :) I think it's interesting that Holtby is hot-blooded...

    Your favourite three Spurs players

    Dawson - I'm not a big fan of him as a player but he is a true character, especially compared to certain captains that AVB may have experienced before. I really hope he remains involved with us after retirement in some capacity, perhaps as an ambassador or in a coaching role, where he can be a...

    Capital One Cup Draw - 5th round: West Ham (H)

    Re: Capital One Cup Draw - 3rd Round: Aston Villa (away) Southampton would be a proper test. They're very, very good against the better sides because of their organization and pressing (no surprise they match up so well against Liverpool), so style-wise I think AVB vs Pochettino would be...

    Vlad Chiriches

    Re: Chiriches official It does make me a little worried for Kaboul's long-term fitness though, that we've gotten a CB who is so much like him. Not that I would ever say no to another Kaboul, I'd just like to give Chiriches a bit more time and space to settle in properly and that's a bit hard...

    The Elephant On The Forum

    You do realize we'll lose against Chelsea and it'll be back to "not good enough, no chance of making top four, Siggy/Townsend/Walker/Dawson sux" etc etc. ;)

    The Stats Thread

    ^^ I'd say those last two OptaJoe stats are promising, but the reason **** are so clinical isn't because they are lucky, but because they tend to play on the break and are perhaps the most dangerous team on the counter so all their chances are very, very good (refer to the game against us)...

    Victimpool FC - Klopp leaving, grown men crying

    Yeah, that's why I said injuries like the one to Coutinho could be the difference. Suarez and Sturridge had a very good partnership last season.

    A Case For The Defence

    I agree. We've been quite fortunate not to concede more so far, tbh, but I think conceding relatively few shots yet having them most of them be high-quality ones is a natural consequence of a high press, high line system; you tend to dominate possession so much that it's rare for someone to...

    Victimpool FC - Klopp leaving, grown men crying

    Results-wise they've certainly gotten better, but performance-wise I think they're actually looking weaker than the second half of last season, when I thought they were both solid at the back and very creative and fluid in attack. I do think a lot depends on injuries though, for all the teams in...

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    Re: Erik Lamela - Official Agreed, it goes through Caulker's legs and what I also like about it is that he didn't play the ball into the space in front of Paulinho, which is where a lot of wingers are tempted to cross to so the player has an easy tap-in as they arrive into the box. However in...

    Roberto Soldado

    Re: Soldado - Official! - Medical Completed!! The vast majority of Soldado's goals come from crosses, and we don't have the space to counter in most games so he'll have to adapt. We're also not really creating that many clear chances just yet, certainly not compared to Valencia at their height...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Cardiff City, Sunday 22nd September***

    I agree, I do think it is a familiarity thing though - remember Holtby (injuries), Eriksen, and Lamela haven't really had a preseason with us, just a few training sessions. So we have to patient, we're showing glimpses of what we can become but it is going to take some time to really build that...
