And normally comes from him cutting inside from the left. Alonso starting today, you'd hope it would mean Emerson starting Wednesday but I'm not going to get my hopes up. Pretty dire game, made exciting by seeing some of our youngsters on show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a United manager I would take Willian off Chelsea books and throw in Fellaini for free, nothing wrong with the wee man. I would even throw in Ashley Young in the deal.

Burning Gold Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 2 hours ago, RandoEFC said: Nah Poch is sound and has done really well to keep Spurs stable and strong despite the infamous lack of signings and stadium issues that could have sent them into a proper crisis. This past couple of weeks has been a symptom of the lack of depth which has always been there but due to the fitness and consistency of their starting eleven has never really been a major issue in the last couple of years until now. They'll carry on just fine and I don't think Kane will leave, possibly ever, but Poch will look at the last couple of weeks and rue the lack of squad depth and as soon as a Manchester United or Real Madrid put a contract under his nose and the opportunity to put together a squad that can win titles and Champions Leagues, it'll be a serious test of his loyalty. I genuinely think that when he says now he has no interest in leaving Spurs he means it, and I wouldn't be surprised if he turned down either of the aforementioned clubs but the feeling that Spurs have hit something of a glass ceiling, a feeling which could have been prevented had they won one or both of their cup ties this week, might make it hard for him to resist a big move if push comes to shove. I agree with this, but I don't see why you wouldn't apply the same logic to Kane? As well as Spurs have done to get where they are over the past few years, they ultimately need some financial support to push to the next level. If that doesn't come, I wouldn't be surprised to see either or both of them start to look elsewhere for a chance they're not getting at Tottenham.

In another 2-3 years or so I probably would apply the same logic, especially if Poch has left and there were a couple of seasons of decline.

Marc Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I've tried to google why it's at some grounds and not others and there doesn't appear to be a reason. It's at all the Prem grounds but no football league grounds. There is no reason why it couldn't be the The Den for example yesterday but it can be at shit holes like turf moore. It's not it 'can't' be at some grounds it just it isn't - probably due to money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6666 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Tottenham obviously had injuries but they still chose to rest players against Premier League opposition and that was Pochettino's decision so he has to take a lot of blame for their exit here. He chose to put out such a weak side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me personally I think it is better to have it in place even if not in every game than not at all. However I do agree that the fa should insure it is at every game.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted January 27, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted January 27, 2019 I don't see the big fuss despite us being on the receiving end. It wasn't unfair on the day because it could just as easily have fucked Millwall over. As long as it's the same for both sides then you just have to play the football match that's in front of you. Having VAR at some grounds and not at others in the same competition is merely an extension of what happens every weekend where a refereeing team performs well in one fixture but another team of officials has a howler at another game. VAR being trialled now even if it's not ready to go in at every single ground is a positive thing because it will go some way to balancing that out in the long run. The question is would Silva and anyone else who's moaning about it rather we got drawn at a Championship ground against a team fighting relegation in the league below us, or get drawn at a Premier League team just so we can have VAR to rule out one of the sixteen set piece goals we would have conceded against stronger opposition? I know people are talking about it from more than an Everton perspective, but from that perspective it's unfortunate what happened but nowhere near the issue or reason we lost.

Lucas Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I actually find it all pretty ludicrous. Just look at the below. Yesterday, Millwall couldn't have VAR at their game. And yet they already have big screens in place. The people controlling the screens showed replays to the crowd of the questionable goals which not only highlighted the ref's errors for Silva to point out to the officials, but also had Neil Harris screaming up at the stands for them to turn off the clips for fear of the mistakes being recognised. I mean seriously?? If they can't use it across the board then whatever. But at least use it where you possibly can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
