To paraphrase a line from the Righteous Brothers, but there has been nothing righteous about our season so far. Three games we have scored not enough, three games we have conceded three late goals. It is early in the proceedings but it isn't looking good so far.
Harry's very often quoted "two points from eight games" is looming.
I don't necessarily think we made any errors in the transfer window. Sigining Mountinho would have been great, but it is not the end of the world. Tottenham for a few years now, have struggled to win these sorts of games. Teams sho come to stifle our style will always have a chance against Spurs. We tend to concede alot of possesion and are too slow in the build up play.
Yes everybody loves the pass and movement retaining possesion, end to end passing, but it is all about the ball in the back of the net. We have two of the best wingers in the game in Bale and Lennon, but we don't get the ball to them quickly enough. Forget the one up the front, lets get bck to 4-4-2. Play two of Livermore, Sandro, Siggurson, Parker, Dembele in the middle and get two of Adebayor, Dempsey and Defoe up front.
This is the acid test for AVB. When things are not going right, how to correct them. Don't be arrogant or proud and stick with a formula that isn't working. Go back to basics. It doesn't mean abandoning your philosophy, just modify.
I have faith in this squad, I hope I can soon have faith in our management team. As always, come on you Spurs!
