We have 3 players that are somewhat ineffective upfront no matter how many times they play ... Ayanne Brazil and Naz ... I'd add Graham and Summanen as being on the rim of falling into this hole as well. They all try hard but that is not really enough when it comes to end product and skill level ... none are top class players, never have been even if some are classed as Intl's (just look at where and who they play for)
Are all Intl players - good players (No)
Are all players - good Intl players (No)
Anyhow they have all been backed by RV and bigged up recently in his interviews to justify him picking them (not Brazil as she rarely ever plays) but then I guess he has to say that to keep in with those that follow our club Woke and Diversity policy ... but giving all 4 players (bar Brazil) extentions iso letting them go for better is a real worry as they are not top bench players neither and we need to get a squad to = Citeh ManU Chelski and the Scum if we want a part of this top 4 pie. That means a top bench as well... not these uninnnspiring misfits.
We are still such a long way off competing at the top level even with the new players now in... they are being diluted by these players which is somewhat quite evident now in the staleness in our play style and not being able to create much nor take any of our chances to better our -GD.
We as a team have gone bread stale but not mildew ridden yet (bad enough to be throw away and buy new for the bread bin) .. but they are on their way.
OK we have a semi final and we have a good chance to win that with a probable 20k home stadium roaring them on and be in a major final like the men with the CL under Poch .... but we probably all know what will happen. We will probably fall at the first hurdle like we always do with Cup finals (we are Spurs) and then be left with just enjoying the day out with the Scum pundits reeling over a Chelski/ManU win (depending who gets there) and nothing about us.
Then we will be left with the run in with a downhearted squad fighting for what?
6th/7th place and NE London bragging rights on the last game of the season.
So how will RV have done in his first season
poor / ok / not bad / good / amazing under the umbrella of development!
It all will be down to the next game ! .... Leicester and who he plays !!
For me it will be strewn with Skinner pets all over again (no Charli Bora Vinny Shuang nor Petz) and maybe we will be lucky with another 1 Nil uninspiring game but enough to get to Wembley. Ive paid good money to go see this live so I hope not unless the Premier seating and Premier bar service brightens me up on the day. COYSW
I remember all they hype of Poch at the CL final and then not playing Moura for an unfit Arry, was he right? .. Pool were there for the taking big time and we just didnt even get off the bus and so it goes on with Spurs and Cup finals and why our cabinet is empty as the Red mist mob keep reminding us every season.
I feel better now that Ive got that off my chest before I go on holiday
