'' It doesn’t have to be that sophisticated, it’s just being on the front foot and having a go and trying to win games, not setting out to draw and seeing if you can nick it on the break.

Why is it that for a team like Tottenham the pundits claim it’s not acceptable to set up like that
Yet West Ham have done that all season and we are meant to be grateful and be careful what we wish for
It baffles me why all the pundits see it so differently between teams
What pundits have said What is getting served up is acceptable?

Sherwood is Spurs so that's his concern. I don't think you can compare 2 different pundits talking about 2 different clubs?

Romero has a nerve to issue an ultimatum. What was it? If Conte stays I’m going to try and stay on the pitch?

What? The culture of THFC consistently failing to win a Trophy for years, for all their delusions of grandeur that runs throughout their pox of a Club, has nothing to do with the manager losing the dressing room this season.

Loads of pundits have said Contes defensive football has been a problem at spurs yet the same pundits then claim that Moyes is the right man for West Ham why is this?

Because West Ham are fighting relegation so need to stop conceding, while Spurs are looking for top four so they need to score goals to win?

Danny Murphy..Shearer..Wrighty..Jim White..Have all said we should stick by Moyes because of his history and even Stuart Pearce said today that qualifying for Europe in the last two seasons is tremendous regardless of what position we finish in.Last season in Europe was a success but this season..who have we played?

Even though our problem is clearly not scoring enough or winning enough games? Pundits wern’t calling out our negative tactics even before it became clear we were in a relegation battle

I disagree I think our problem all season has been attacking not defending perhaps a bit more attacking play would help

Despite the fact we've conceded by far the least amount of goals of all the clubs from 11th to 20th...and 6 less than Spurs. In fact, only Arsenal, City, Newcastle, Liverpool and Brighton have conceded less than us.

Also, there are only 2 teams that have scored more than Spurs, but only 6 that have conceded more.

There are only 5 teams that have scored less than us though...I'd strongly argue we need to start scoring more, and quickly.

So that statement is totally arse about face...we need to start scoring and Spurs need to stop conceding

Seem plenty of pundits say we should stay with Moyes because he will keep us up and has done well previously.

Not seen any say the football is acceptable which was the original point.

You know that, I know that, but these are lazy football journalists looking for clicks. WHU down the bottom? Must be shipping goals for fun. THFC not moving on up? Clearly they can't score for toffee.
