Spurs 0 West Brom 1 – a frustrating day as Tottenham go slow at the Lane
Sunday’s disappointing loss to West Brom left me with an overwhelming sense of deja-vu. Like so many times at home in recent years, against supposedly inferior opposition we struggled.
It’s become the blueprint for taking points at White Hart Lane. Sit back and defend, stay compact and play on the counter attack. I’ve seen it over and over again and it was frustrating enough the first time.
Pochettino was supposed to Continue reading
Sunderland 2 Spurs 2 – classic Tottenham, almost but not quite
You can change the players, you can change the manager, you can probably even change the owners, but Spurs will still be Spurs. This was a classic Tottenham performance. Some attractive football, dominance Continue reading
Spurs 0 Liverpool 3 – Rodgers beats Pochettino at his own game
Spurs fans were brought down to Earth with a bump on Sunday, as Liverpool dealt us a third heavy defeat in as many games against the Merseyside club. It doesn’t seem to matter who the manager is, as AVB, Sherwood and now Pochettino have all failed to contain Brendan Rodgers’ side.
Four wins out of four, including last weeks phenomenal performance against QPR, had left Tottenham fans daring to dream that new boss, Mauricio Pochettino, had already turned Spurs into a team that could challenge the best in the Premier League. Liverpool handed us a reality check, only what you’d expect from Continue reading
Spurs 4 QPR 0 – Pochettino teaches Harry a tactical lesson
This was everything Spurs’ fans had hoped for from our new manager, an awesome display of football the Pochettino way.
Last week the new Tottenham boss set about putting right last season’s wrongs, gaining some revenge for our three defeats to West Ham. Here he laid to rest another White Hart Lane ghost, as his side destroyed former Spurs manager, Harry Redknapp’s QPR.
West Ham 0 Spurs 1 – Tottenham struggle to finally beat West Ham
The young striker drops deep as Spurs break, pulling the centre back out of position. He plays a beautiful, defence splitting through ball to an onrushing teammate, who is making a clever overlapping run. The teammate, another youth prospect, showing admirable composure, rounds the keeper and scores.
This is what we were sold – football the Pochettino way. Unfortunately for 93 minutes the football was anything but.
