If I was convinced he had a bigger hand in the last transfer window I'd be more critical. As things are he's just another manager left with an unbalanced, slow squad.

Yeah we don't half need pace.

Unfortunately has his favourites. KDH/Garner/JOB

If Coleman can play that many minutes for Ireland then get him in the team.

Can't do much about the Beto/Barry situation but everything else...

Bring Alcaraz on for 5 minutes was comical. We were so predictable that Spurs knew we were going to shuffle the ball out to the wings.

Don't mind Jim having a settled eleven but when he mentions o briens poor form and doesn't shift him to the centre or drop him he gets no sympathy. Say it quietly but we could do with a couple of injuries to force change.

Something doesn't seem right. I wonder if there is some friction between Moyes and Kinnear and the recruitment team over the summer transfer window. Disagreement with players brought to the club, hence the reason why most are not being played.

I am very much Moyes in and trust he's the right manager for where we're at.

However... I don't understand why he's so stubborn. Even though Vicario made a couple of saves, we never really looked like getting back into that second half because we are so utterly predictable. It's obvious that all we want to do is get the ball out wide to Ndiaye and Grealish which is making it easy for teams to play against us.

Maybe there's a defensive offset that makes Moyes feel KDH is worth playing in the 10 but with 9 goals in 9 matches and 1 goal between the strikers then he might want to give that a rethink. Alcaraz, for all his faults, is a direct player who will run through the midfield and we saw the effect that had against Palace but he's so married to KDH that he give him a whole load of 5 minutes to do anything.

It's the same with Garner who is another Moyes favourite. You've got Aznou (LB I know) and Coleman on the bench there and you're sticking Garner at RB to take off JOB. Why not just bring an actual fullback on and if you want Rohl/Tim/Alcaraz on then take off Garner, it's not like he's prime Vieira.

His stubbornness is really doing us and him no favours at the moment.

And whilst we're at it... His attitude towards the 'big teams' is nothing short of pathetic. His programme notes today about us being so far away from teams like that in the league and hoping that one day we'll be able to be competitive against them smacks of an inferiority complex. Brentford slapped Liverpool yesterday, Sunderland won at Chelsea, Aston Villa beat Man City. All the same weekend. Aye, I'm sure the players are buzzing going into these matches hearing that sort of thing from their manager. His record against these clubs is no coincidence.

It's one thing to say that about Man City as well but Spurs finished fucking 17th last season

Pickford

Coleman Tarkowski Keane Myko

Rohl Garner

Ndiaye Alcaraz Grealish

Barry

I know we love Gana but hes not giving us anything going forward.

Myko is also frustrating me, but Aznou isn't ready.

Moyes can't seem to get his head around the five sub era, thinks we are still in three sub times and saves one just in case we get a injury until the last five minutes.
