With respect it’s not just one game though is it? The anger and if you like, the ‘melting’ is a result of two years of frustration. Often, us football fans are wide of the mark on many issues - transfers, managers, tactics etc. However, we’ve known Levy for 20 years now and we all know Mourinho’s style of football. Not only that but many of us can identify the deficiencies in the team/squad.
The puff-piece, Amazon documentary hasn’t been edited enough to hide the amateurishness at the heart of the club. Weak hearted players needing cuddles and ego stroking, a clueless Hitchens dreading the transfer window - the time when he really needs to earn his money. Disingenuous and frankly creepy Levy, who can’t grasp the concept of spending to accumulate. And then the prince of the piece, Jose. The reality TV star. I wish he was appearing in someone else’s show cos in ours, he looks like a busted flush. A has-been. A tactical dinosaur. What we are seeing on TV is confirmed on the pitch with our own eyes - utter tedium, confusion. And without success to boot.
To blithely write off yet another season “we won’t be seeing free flowing football this season. I didn’t expect that” sticks in the craw and makes most of us wonder, ‘what’s the point’?
Those of us who’ve been around long enough have endured so many seasons of ‘transition’ is like a cruel joke. All at some of the highest ST prices in world football.
For all the glitzy media hype and billion pound stadium there’s an amateurishness about Spurs - and that’s on the owners, the players and the manager
