Flip Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 If anyone has changed this game btw its AVB. 1-0 down, puts three players on before the 70th mark and they score 3 goals from there on. Clarke yesterday put Long on in halftime and they could've beaten us. It shows you that if you have balls you will do well as a manager. It also helps if you have those options on the bench... Right cause Pardew didn't have Benny on the bench and still decided to put Ameobi on before? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Tottenham really miss Sandro, Parker and Huddelstone are nowhere near his quality. Yeah, allows Dembele to be pushed up and be more effective going forward too. There we have two 'criticizing' him. Aye saying he's nowhere near Sandro is criticizing him i like him personally as Neil said a poor mans Carrick. Fuck you too Seriously though already stated above I read that wrong. Was pretty sure I read nowhere near quality and not nowhere near HIS quality... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Hate watching good football, so jealous. It's terrible that I prefer watching Spurs than us It's made worse when it's the manager who made it a 3-1 win instead of a 0-1 loss I'm certain, if we equalised that 'late' in a game, we'd try to park the bus, and concede a soul destroying goal at the death.

Neil Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 They're 1 place above us in the league yet the football they can produce is of a whole different quality. Jealous? Yes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Don't be silly AVB should have played it safe and defended the 1-0 deficit, we all know Pardew is busy jizzing himself over Lescott up front, he'll play Willo upfront next game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Pardew's substitutions are an absolute fucking disgrace. That said, it's fair to say that when we pick up 2 or 3 injuries our bench looks like toasted shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, it's fair to say that when we pick up 2 or 3 injuries our bench looks like toasted s****. Absolutely, but a good manager tries to change a game for the better. I've always criticized Pardew for his substitutions and mentality. He's Sven Goran Eriksson twin brother. Too conservative. (not saying he's the same as Sven, it's just that their view on football is equally shit and depressing) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishmael Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 In fact, I will point out for the second time on this board that Spurs under AVB are performing in line with HR's Spurs of last season. He hasn't got them overachieving, he's got them just about in line with where they should be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't got them overachieving, he's got them just about in line with where they should be. Possibly but his team is at least developing and showing signs of becoming a very very good team. Wrote this back in september and don't think I was far off 7-8 months later: Man, the hate for AVB on here is big. He is very inexperienced but has proved he can win stuff as he did with Porto in a year. He has managed for many years and will only learn more. I do expect him to become a very very good manager, and I actually think it will be with Spurs. I can see them destined for top 4 for a long long time. He got s*** at Chelsea, but they were poor under Di Matteo too and won the CL through f***ing flukes man. No way they deserved to win it. Chelsea this season has improved loads, with the money they have splashed. Lukaku will one day replace Torres, Mata has been great, Romeu looks like a player who could develop into something very decent tbh and Meireles (has been disappointing so you cant really blame AVB as I though he would be the signing of the season last year). I mean he invested nicely in the squad bringing in youth. One who is one of their best players, two which look great for the future and then Meireles who has been decent. He gets more stick than deserved and media has built up an image of him trying to be like Mourinho. His Spurs team dont look without ideas, they just look like a team having to adapt a bit to new players, like Sigurdsson and also having to play Livermore/Huddlestone in the midfield really doesnt help. Dempsey, Dembele, Vertonghen and Sigurdsson will prove to be great signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishmael Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I wouldn't call AVD very inexperienced. I don't understand your point about the signs of being a very good team; I think that's just a cliché. He's performing in line with expectations at Tottenham, he did so at Porto and failed to at Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's performing in line with expectations at Tottenham, he did so at Porto and failed to at Chelsea. My point is exactly that, he didn't fail at Chelsea, he didn't get the time or chance to fail or succeed. He was just sacked in the beginning of a long term project. He brought in a lot of young players, he brought in their best player in Mata. At Spurs his team is playing good football with far less quality in the side than Chelsea as an example.
