Use our rumours form to send us spurs transfer rumours.

Poor performance. Beaten 2 - 0 and having 53% of the play. Same old story, impotent in front of goal. Still, now we can concentrate on the premiership and top four hopefully.

The only time we looked like scoring was when Eriksen broke through in the first 10 mins or so - the rest of it was possession with no end product.

I would like to thank Tim Sherwood and his staff for the training game today, in particular to the "no hard tackle rule" which Tottenham abided by.
Also a special word of thanks to Mr Adebayor who was his old useless self.

With the amount of players we have out can't be too annoyed. Not sure why he took sal off for chadli when we went to down. Chad is poor and brings nothing to the party

Oh Mrg please! We was overwhelmed in the middle and once again found ourselves unable to change the formation! The problem is, we beat a poor Utd midweek, and even then we just about hung on! This once again gave us false hopes, with even our captain fantastic? stating we fear no one! We are at best a top eight team at the moment and for this season get used to that! Hardly any teams play 4-4-2 any more, they rely on quick ball movement and quick players, players that also get back behind the ball when needed! I know we have a lot of injuries but Be prepared for us to be over run in the middle a lot more playing this formation .

Agree0 Disagree0

Personally I think if he had played capoue instead of bentaleb we wouldn't have been so over run. You can't play 442 without a natural ball winner in midfield as soon as I saw bentaleb I knew we would lose. We played well against utd until capoue went off and they took midfield and it was backs to the wall. Sandro and capoue are our defensive midfielder one has to play. Dembele yesterday was doing that work.
Bad decision by Sherwood those decisions will cost us badly in the league or Europe.

Agree0 Disagree0

Look on the bright side, Sherwood was only given a 18 month contract and then I'm sure we will have the superior knowledge of Davo as our next manager/coach as he knows more about football than those who have been graced with the job in the last 10 years. I mean they've only lived football most of thier lifes so what do they know a?
As for playing Bentaleb, Sherwood wants him to become our star so he can be praised for it but even though the youngster shows promise there is much better in our ranks. Put the ego away Sherwood and play the proven talent.

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree with your last comment, didn't we get rid of AVB because of his ego! Super knowledge not at all, so are you saying I am the only one who noticed that we was overrun by Arsenal in the middle, and that Utd are a poor imitation of their previous selfs? If so, could you lend me a pair of your rose tinted spectacles so I could watch the same games that you watch please?

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah I believe so Davo, did I mention or dispute that? No Davo I wasn't saying that but check out most of your posts, you know all the answers I was just suggesting we stop wasting our time getting all these managers in who have vast knowledge of the game and just give you the job. If you don't want it then fine no need to be hostile. I thought we should've started with 5 in the middle but I don't go on about it as if I know better.
Haha Rose tinted spectacles comment again, atleast your original!

Agree0 Disagree0

Wish I did know all the answers!
But my comments are no different to a lot of other supporters who worry about the team! Come to think about it, quite a few ex footballers and managers have commented on 4-4-2, lack of cover in midfield, slow out of touch defenders, mis use of players, so maybe I do notice a few of our current problems!

Before Spurs fan come on here berating the team and Sherwood, let's remember he has only been only charge for a few games and is still trying to sort out the mess that has been left to him.

I do think Sherwood showed some tactical naivety in not putting an extra man into the midfield, it was blatantly obvious in the first half that Arsenal were winning the midfield battle.

However, being out of the FA Cup is not a bad thing, a less congestive fixture list will allow Sherwood and the club to concentrate on improving the clubs PL situation (which he has already done in his short time as manager), and maybe having a good run at the Europa League.

Arsenal were given an easy ride today, that won't happen in the next fixture these two teams play.

Well it's lucky we only drew an average team in the F.A. Cup then, isn't it.

Well, at least you tried. COYG!

Agree0 Disagree0

Seriously.

How many Spurs fans have seen their team win the league?

Glad you wind us up about such a short gap between our last league title and our next

Good luck this season - that's on the pitch and talking sense.

how are arsenal saying they had a 2nd string team out. they were missing ramsey and giroud that's all

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Szczesny, Mertesacker, Ozil, Giroud and Ramsey did not start, how much easier did you want it.

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't forget gibbs. Hahah
COYG!

Agree0 Disagree0

So were we missing just a few players from our 1st team, Vertonghen, Kaboul, Sandro and Paulinho pretty much the spine of any team. Add to that the fact that we have no LB. Credit where its due Arsenal won because they took there chances but were not exactly the much better side.

One thing I will say though is that Koscielny is an awesome player and reads the game very very well

Agree0 Disagree0

Taxi for Danny Rose, THAT goal against the Gunners aside he has never convinced me and giving such a stupid goal away in a massive game like today shows he hasn't really got it at the highest level.

Hi Eds, are our injurys that bad that we have to name Obika and Kane as our reserve strikers? Obika isn't even one of our youngsters, he's what, 23/24 . V I feel bad now about moaning that we might be looking at Shane Long! If these are our back up forwards then we are in serious trouble . What's even worse is Tim giving an interview saying we don't need to buy anyone, duh, a forward and left back!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I think that proved my point about the left back Tim!

Agree0 Disagree0

A LB, a CB and a striker . oh and let's not forget we still don't have the man to unlock defenses in midfield . Though Eriksen is beginning to look more promising. Hard to believe we spent 100m and still have this many issues . We will need a backup keeper in summer also when Brad and Gomes are gone.
