‘Still Unbeaten!’

By The Boy -

POLITE FAKIN NOTICE: Anyone found uttering this phrase will be dragged outside and shot in front of their wildly applauding families.

By Order, Gruppenführer Harold Hotspur DC (and barred).

From the makers of the infinitely successful misusers of the phrase ‘parking the bus’, we now have a new strategy from the mindless amongst you, namely clinging onto a random positive and seeking to deploy it with such aplomb and gravitas that we’re distracted from a bigger, grimmer picture.

The sainted Andre Villas-Boas was verbally crucified by a great many, game by game, despite his win percentageness, despite it being obvious to some of us that he was at the time effectively mounting an armed insurrection at The Lane.

I just don’t see it with Poch.

The philosophy turned out to be less of a game plan and rather more of an overarching set of guidelines  that included training to be picked to play, and playing as part of cohesive team effort.

All very commendable, in fact wonderfully commendable, but now what?

The current Mo Po diet of gruel is keeping those amongst us with degrees in Economics & Land Management happy, but it’s bloody tough viewing for the rest of us.

“We missed a bit of freshness that you need in the first 15 minutes,” said Pochettino. “Maybe we need more depth in the squad to avoid a situation like the first 15 minutes.”

In fairness to him, he couldn’t have got the memo. Most early Premier League games tend to shudder into life as the game stumble on.

But for the love of [insert name of your preferred deity here], ‘more depth in the squad’?

Er… aren’t you that stooge that eventually (translation: a season late) spent a few quid on Janssen, then worked like Billy O to fulfil Son’s dream to transform him from an attacking winger moth to a free scoring centre forward butterfly?

Where’s the depth and breadth in Haircuts wot your disciples werz promised?

Poch sounds to me like a bloke who is in actual fact bereft of alternate plans.

We’re still unbeaten.

We’re still 3rd unless Liverpool manage to overcome the impenetrable West Brom of course.

Say it quietly if you want, but we’re not very interesting to watch and Poch could be doing better.
