If idiot Alli hadn't lost it I'd have fancied you to go through. Even with 10 men you dominated possession. Some of your players, Dier for example, needed to keep their cool and you just might have done it. Defending for Gent's 2nd goalie was like watching City. Composure/focus was needed.

I'm not all that bothered that we're out of the Europa, just as we did this time last season.

Our squad isn't deep enough to challenge in 3 competitions, now we are left with the FA Cup

and PL we might be better off with having a fighting chance of finishing in the top 4.

 

With Liverpool only playing for the PL, Chelsea PL & FA Cup and

Arsenal PL & FA Cup (CL looks unlikely) it's gonna be a tough ask anyway.

 

City and Utd are involved with more competitions but they both have more squad depth. 

OK thanks but is that it then? A top 4 Finnish and your happy? So what kind of investment is needed for you to be bothered about Europe once 4th+ is attained?

With the current squad at hand, i'd be very happy with a top 4 finish.

 

I count 12, possibly 13 players that are good enough to compete in all

competitions but we need another 4 or 5 in order to do that seriously.

 

It's the cost of those 4 or 5 players that would be at the same level of our

current first 11 that would be needed.

You wasted north of 30 mill on Sissoko. You won't get that back when he clears off back to France or Italy.

Any update on where you are playing home games next season? A half-built new ground or Wembley?

Were playing our home games at Wembley.

 

Sissoko has been an unmitigated disaster and few if any understand why we bought him let alone for 30m.  He's been dreadful.

I'd like to see THFC win a cup ASAP as some good work has been done and to keep Poch, he needs it as much as the players to ensure that young dynamic team sticks together. Any ideas of who you would want? Don't see a lot of that on any footy forum on TV.  Elusive question.

I see a lot of chatter about needing this position filled and that and never a recommendation or example of a player who fits etc.

Sorry champers, it was 3-0 to spurs at the time

 

And Mark Hughes flies were undone

[champers]

My normal Vietnamese channel was showing Sassuolo v AC Milan for some reason. I've got Spurs game on now. I'm in Pattaya in case you were wondering. I've missed all the main action. Sums up my life. ?

[balo]

4 goals within 40 minutes , that will teach them . Hughes had a cunning plan that failed miserably .  

[carmine]

Complete performance last night.  Clearly we eased off in the second half and thankfully both center backs coming off just precautionary.  Kane obviously MoM but all round fine team performance.

 

Rose apparently out until april which is a big blow.

yeah,, impressive first half,, second half was'nt. tbh  there's a little bit of me thats thinking /worrying that we're turning into 'flat track bullies'  and  unfortunatly  the thought is  backed by our poor away record against top 6 teams under poch, it aint that great.

Needs improvement but as Sots pointed out we lack a depth of experience...hopefully that will improve.

Lets not forget that Kane missed the first seven weeks of this season.  Very impressive indeed.  

[Bredbury Blue]

Lucky enough to have Greavsie, including scoring on his WHU debut against joe corrigan. Some goalscorer.

Excellent article about Jimmy Greaves in the DT

 

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/02/28/cristiano-ronaldo-can-match-magical-mark-set-jimmy-greaves/

 

The contrast between Real Madrid’s spectacular Bernabéu stadium and the modest but quiet and comfortable corner of Chelmsford in which Jimmy Greaves lives could hardly be greater. 

Yet only a Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick on Wednesday night against Las Palmas now stands between them sharing a moment in football history that underlines just how truly exceptional – and perhaps also underappreciated – Greaves has been to our national sport.

Agreed Greaves achievements fly under the radar. Great player shame about the injury in group stages but a winner he is.
