Said it all bloody summer, this squad needs a scorched earth rebuild including Kane being sold and we tinkered around the edges. As for Nuno, just not seeing him as a Tottenham manager, although he sums up ENIC nicely, cheap, mediocre and available for no fee. The buck stops with Levy. Not acceptable.
I reckon a lot of managers in the game are seeing through Levy's/ ENIC nonsense hence why Potter, Rogers and other managers don't want to come here.. Not a lot to choose from is there. Also good ones like conte see through levy’s/enic limitations so stay away. So probably a young up & coming manager still our best bet.
Who's going to spend decent money on Ndombele? We wouldn't get half back of what we paid for the donkey.
That was shit. Was 50 50 at one point, but there really only was one winner.
We were very good for 30 minutes then it got a bit muddled the last 15 in the first half. Kante was huge for Chelsea, obviously, but I don't think putting a more defensive lineup out there would have been better given how desperately poor we were the last 30 minutes.
In reality, what Nuno did today, against one of the best squads in Europe, is what we've been needing to do for the last 2 years. Injuries probably forced it a bit, but we need to look on how to build on that first half.
It really doesn’t matter who the manager is, although I’m not sure why anybody would think that a manager that had been sacked by Wolves would be the right man to turn us around, it will inevitably end the same way…they will end up being sacked. Until Enic & Levy sell up, nothing will change. We have a squad full of average & below average players & until there is a huge clear out & some decent players are brought in, nothing will change. That will cost some serious money & it just won’t happen with Levy & Enic running the show. We end up spending money on average players & then wonder why things don’t improve.
My eyes
At least Locelso and Ndombele have the potential to be great. They played very well in the first half but their replacements were skipp and gil who are still in the learning phase and cant be relied on.
Fair point
Gawd this season isn’t going to be fun
Neither of them will ever get close to great.
The best thing about today was that I was due to go and decided against it!
conte wanted kane to stay and 200m beleive it or not i think thats the rebuild we needed. with conte too we could of made some good signings
I may go to bed
Fucking Keane and Souness coming in off their long runs tonight.
We're getting rightfully hammered.

No chance that this was our best 11. Emerson Royal was nowhere all game long. Alonso looked absolutely world class, and that was because every time he received the ball, there was no one within 20 yards of him. GLC did nothing but pass the ball sideways (well, he had a few turnovers too). For a guy who was supposed to be Eriksen's replacement, he is not creative at all (except against minnows in European competition). He never even looked to play the ball forward...head down, pass it to the man next to you. For me, Skipp and Tanganga belong in the first 11, and GLC and Emerson Royal should be nowhere near it. Maybe Royal comes good at some point; I've seen way too much of GLC.
