    First off i have to say we're not fit enough,,,,,,,,,,,mad i hear you say. But really hear me out,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
    With being in the Europa League,,, Harry had a chance to blood younger players & none of us really moaned,,,, because we saw the bigger plan a shot at the CL.
    But that has back-fired for me,,,, with the players not playing enough.
    Complete idiot i can see being posted my way,,,,,,but really think about it,,,,,,,,,,,players from other teams playing twice a week to our one. Like Chelsea & The Manc Teams,,,but not us & now we're looking tired, no stamina or sharpness.

    Second our pass & move,,,,,, has become just pass,,,,,,
    Our width has gone on a diet,,,,,,,,and is nowhere near as expansive.

    Third,,,,,,,,,,,,Has Bale,,,,,,,,been told by Harry do what you like,,,,

    Fourth,,,,,,,,,,,,No one really understands how much we're missing THUdd,,,,,,,,the one player that can find away through when all seems lost.

    Fifth Injuries,,,,,,,,,Lennon as soon as it get's colder his Hamstring gets weeker than a Gooner in a Kebab Shop. Then Dawson,,,,our rock hardley played this season.

    Any way that will do for the minute,,,,,,,,,on my return lol.

    He was indeed. If he was fit how would you play the midfield ? Parker, Thudd ,Modric & the wide boys with the lone striker ? Or different . . . .

    Interesting Lought should say Bale at left back, I was reading a interview with Danny Alves and he reckoned that if Bale played for Barca they would play him as a left back. Gives him more room to use his pace.

    As much as he is our rock, I would play Caulker next to Kaboul instead of Daws, just that bit classier and has more pace.

    And Jims right, whenever we have a returning player, they always bang on about getting match fitness.

    I think a lot of teams have been looking more tired this season - I have no idea why but Manyoo, Citeh, us and Spuds have looked under the weather in recent weeks - cant recall that drop off in energy in recent seasons.

    Chelsea have had a savage schedule but so far have managed quite well - mind you they did not exactly put their all in for AVB so they should have a little more in the tank at this stage.

    I reckon it has nothing to do with thudd or dawson not playing because up until the beginning of march we looked a bloody good team hard to beat grinding out results , then comes the bomb shell coppello quits and does arry distance himself from the england job NO

    The team just went down hill for no apparent reason, its ok looking for excuses , but lets be honest all these pro players going on talk sport giving it the same old bollox they can't understand or see a reason as to why the spurs team has gone down hill ,well when arry leaves we will finally find out the truth once and for all.

    [quote="SuneJim"]
    With being in the Europa League,,, Harry had a chance to blood younger players



    If Jim dont mind I 'd just like to pick the above out from his opening post as Harry's thinking on this is a bit of a mystery to me ..

    For example ...

    Tom Carroll, without doubt our best of the young players in that fruitless Europa League campaign ..Why was he loaned out to Derby? ... He played well in the EL, showed energy, demanded the ball and rarely wasted it so why wasn't he rewarded with a seat on our bench and occasionally bought on for say, Modric?...Wouldn't that have been better for the boy and for Spurs in the long run ?

    Rotation is important and must not be underestimated in today's game ... It's not like the old days where players half fit could get away with it ...Players are sprinting more and covering more yardage than ever before ...Harry p*sses me off with his boring , in my day blah blah blah...

    Today's game is fast , really fast, it also has top flight teams that do not take the domestic cups seriously and many go out in the early rounds to lower league opposition, preferring to rotate their own squads.
    This quite often means, when we're playing mid table or lower teams on a weekend in the league, our opponent's players have been rested midweek. If ours have not been, then this evens things up I'd say... Harry don't seem to get this...

    Hello Jim . . . .. . .

    Hello Vis,,,,,,,,,,we've missed him more than we could even think. he was that link,,,,,,,,

    I Agree with all that you say Jim except for Hudd. I think he was found wanting in quite a few games last season, to many times caught in possesion, lacked consentration for 90 mins.. A good squad player but just lacking top class for me. Modric, Bale and VDV can change a game with a touch of brilliance, I don;t see that with Hudd.I know he an put in the odd brilliant 30/40 yard pass but they are few and far between. But we shall see next season and I hope he comes back a better player.
