I have not completely given up on Soldado yet, almost but not yet. He had a few good chances on Saturday but the vast majority of the team takes too long to make decisions in the attacking front IMO. We are confident in the middle of the pitch but have trouble with our decision making at both ends.

It's frustrating watching our attack, or lack thereof. We need players to be more aggressive and act like they aren't scared to have the ball in the box.

But Valencia Soldado seemed pretty good for Poch's system. I feel like every player gets worse at Spurs.

I guess. But maybe it's also an issue with the league as well and Soldado just isn't a fit. I feel like Poch SHOULD be able to find a striker that fits both England and his style. For whatever reason, Soldado hasn't worked. I've wanted to not give up on him....but I have.

All of our players seem to slow the ball down and wait for the defenders to make a mistake. Unfortunately, the mistakes often don't come.

A team like Manchester City forces the defense to make a mistake.

Yeah. I definitely noticed that this week. There were a few instances where quick shots would have been better than the actual end result.

Soldado needs to go... I understand Levy is a tough negotiator and all that but he needs to open up the pocketbook for a striker. This was a tough match for me to watch. I went in wishing for a point, then thought we had a decent chance, and then the PK... I knew we would tie it up and hold on for a point. Well, after that embarrassment of a PK by Soldado the wheels fell off and I was left feeling like we will continue to be little brother until we bring in a big name striker.

If your ST can't take PKs that's a problem.

The one against MC Soldado PK

This is a good one too Soldado Free Kick

Think Kane may play ST soon? Maybe he can help light a fire up front.

We are 1 game out of 4th
Also one game out of 17th
Sitting at 11 points rite now it's funny how one win or loss could be making the fans want completely different things. We win the west brom or Sunderland game we are in a completely different scenario.

It's a two team league right now. Perfect year to steal a Champions League spot.

I refuse to even look at the table anymore. I don't really care about our position....I just want to see improvement in the team each week. One game at a time.

Truth. We have a very good stretch of games coming up. Lots of teams to gain confidence against. Hopefully we can start seeing some progress.

Can't wait for Yedlin to be at Spurs:

(Jan will probably be happy they are on the same team this time)

HE FAST

Asteras Tripolis have averaged 39.1% possession in Europa League, and they have never won a game in Europe. They will try to counter us. We better win big.

If you want risk of death and a better atmosphere, catch a Dortmund game.
