That's the main problem we have right now imo, HR doesn't cut it at this level. Epic meltdown last season that cost us a place in the top 4, I thought it probably wouldn't happen this season given our form, but then he plays 4-4-2 away to Arsenal even though we almost lost the home game because we were overrun in midfield playing 4-4-2, what do you know? We get overrun in midfield and concede 5 fucking goals, lose all confidence and suffer a meltdown even worse than last season. On top of that we turned Arsenal's season around.

HR is a pretty good manager but if we want to compete for the title and a consistent place in the top 4 we will need someone better. Harry is responsible for what is currently happening because when the going gets tough his 'knock it about and play some fucking football' tactics don't work and the players don't know what their roles are. He actually doesn't take tactical advice from those around him and insists on 4-4-2 even though everyone tells him it's a bad idea and all our best performances except the Newcastle game have come playing 4-4-1-1. Instead he does bizarre stuff like shifting Bale over to the right to play Modric left wing, substituting Livermore for VDV against Norwich when we had no other defensive midfielders on the pitch, playing Kranjcar and Modric in CM against you guys...

Two epic back to back meltdowns and yet the FA are still going to hire him for the England job probably, you have to wonder sometimes haha. Be prepared for some 4-4-2 with Lampard/Parker in central midfield and Gerrard right wing lol.

oh,hang on a minute!!!

That song can only be released in a year ending '2'.

According to some Spurs fans on Glory-Glory, we had 20,000 empty seats last night because we are a 'tin pot' club.

Considering there were only a couple of points in it at the top between us,united and spurs when we played them,their decline is remarkable.

You would've thought the media would be making more of it. Then again, maybe they are and I'm just missing it.
The Islington Gazette and Kuala Lumpur Chronicle both had full page articles.

Your meltdowns are coming because he picks best 11 through whole season. It's impossible for those players to stay at top of their form so long.

We've only played our best 11 in the league, last season the excuse was fatigue from CL games but that excuse doesn't exist this season. Our best 11 hasn't played more than once per week.

Anyway the reason for that is because rotating players is extremely detrimental for us because Harry changes the whole system to do so and the players have no idea what they're supposed to be doing. In the game against Norwich players were arguing with each other, specifically Walker about how far forward he should be going, Walker looked to the bench for instructions and got nothing. Harry literally just tells the players which position to play in and provides no tactical instructions which is why rotating even one player is detrimental to the entire team system and shape.

There's something symbiotic in the trajectory of 'arry's remarks and a liverpool title-charge. Perhaps KKK's replacement in-waiting come November?<br /><br />-- Thu Apr 12, 2012 10:24 am --<br /><br />

Given you're a neutral, what do you make of Mancini as a manager?

They could still have a better season than us by winning the fa cup and getting 4th.
OY.....pack that in! However, if we do finish second (which is likely), then I think in certain people's eyes you could be right Spurs win the FA Cup. Two very, very interesting semi-finals this weekend.

Tactics have never been 'Arry's strong point, even when Spurs were flying, the seemed to be playing on adrenaline more than anything. Didn't Van der Fart say they're just told to go out and play and enjoy themselves or something along those lines? The adrenaline has well and truly worn off, man-management is over rated.
