Waddle feels Spurs are not improving
Former Spurs great Chris Waddle, now a pundit is very honest in his views. Unlike some pundits who faun over their clubs like a love struck teenager unable to see or admit anything is amiss, Waddle will say what he sees.
He disagrees with Jamie Carragher. The Liverpool centre-back, now Sky TV pundit, feels Erik Lamela will not turn round his Tottenham career, Chris Waddle disagrees suggesting he is going to need this season before he comes good next season, if he is going to come good at all.
The Spurs fans has been weaned on names and the amount spent rather than the actual ability of a player, bargains are not well received by supporters, even if at this time of stadium building every penny counts.
Splashing the cash on a group of players, 7, to take the club forward over the next few years we have suddenly found they are incapable of doing so and have in fact taken us backwards. A new coach has been asked to get the best out of them and to add pieces into the jigsaw to complete it.
This summer we brought in 6 new players, that's 13 in total, quite a turnaround. The 6 we have brought in and all budget buys Pochettino will hope to develop and add the right mentality to the side. We have the show players with skill in Eriksen and Lamela but we need the grafters to go with them, the unsung heroes who do all the dirty work. Mason and Stambouli fit the mould, I'd suggest an upgrade for Capoue is needed also.
Which elements do you fix to get the other under performing elements performing, that's the key to Tottenham now. Waddle sees the players brought in as similar to what we already have.
The problem against Manchester City is midfield are not offering the protection to the defence, there are too many who don't know what to do in a pressure situation. Every game we are also being caught with a simple ball over the top straight down the middle.
You would expect to see some improvement but 1 win in 6 games is hardly that, we have only won one Premier League game since we beat a woeful QPR. The saving grace is that we have one game against Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City out the way.
Build from the back as the saying goes, we haven't sorted the back out yet, we're in make do mode and need to turn some of the midfielders and attacking players into a better unit than we are seeing now.

"I think he's got a lot of players very similar to what was already there, there are a lot of players who can play the same role.
“I don't think they've had a good pairing at centre-half since Ledley King played.
“Every game I watch Tottenham play, [Hugo] Lloris seems to be called into action every two or three minutes, so there's got to be a problem if you're goalkeeper makes too many saves.”
