Robinson will eventually sink Jol

We’ve been watching a ticking time bomb over the past few months. Martin Jol looks as if he could be put right into one of the Die Hard movies, franticly trying to figure out if he should cut the red or green wire. I say cut the Robinson wire Marin.

Let’s face it, Spurs have many problems. Ledley King is still out. Ricardo Rocha is going to have surgery. We have neither a quality ball-winning midfielder to help defend nor a quality passing midfielder to get the ball to our bushel of strikers. All this being said I can’t help but ignore it all and focus on Paul Robinson’s horrible form over the past season plus.

For a team capable of coming back from 4-1 down we may be hypnotized into ignoring the fact that Spurs gave up four goals in the first place! Two of those four could have been prevented rather easily through better goalkeeping tactics. This trend of preventable goals leaking through has been ongoing for far too long. I look at the way Robinson defends crosses and just get sick. When are you going to do something Martin Jol? Face it, we have regressed, but to be honest we were not killing the opposition last year either. So if MJ is truly convinced that he can wait these periods of bad play out we need to ask ourselves what we’ll be seeing once everything comes together?… it’s not Champions League quality football I can assure you of that. Anyway, it’s time to drop Robbo the pie eater Martin Jol…. It’s his fat ass or yours. COYS.

    I don’t really think that Jol is in the position to not play Robbo. I mean, here is a manager who is being undermined by his superiors but is asking for faith… And then he turns around and doesn’t give the same support to his keeper?
    I am not saying its right or wrong, but I don’t see Jol cutting Robbo out.
    I think that Chimbonda, Dawson, Kaboul and Robbo need to sit down and have a heart to heart…
    Those four are not working on the same team.

    whb, you did watch those goals though right? I just can’t defend him in any capacity following a showing like that… I’m sure he’ll play well in the future and I’ll back him again but right now I just can’t do it and I just can’t imagine that they wouldn’t be better off without him.
