Not today, I have been saying this for years lol. But I agree, something needs to change.

It's about making the correct choices in the transfer market to rid this team of the weak fucking mentality and lack of overall talent and balance in it.

That's the only thing that will fix the issue, not a manager in world football would make this current team winners.

Yes but I disagree in as much as there are managers out there who would bring a change of mindset.

I am less inclined to believe that person will be Conte now and have no doubt Kane won't be part of the solution. In many respects and not a view any will like but he is part of the issue..

Time to change full stop. We really have No option.

We are simply a nothing club at present who somehow produce the necedsarybresikts to suggest we are good. We ain't.

It’s really irrelevant who he plays there, you could play Moura on the right of a flat 3 for all I care - he’s been wedded to 343 ever since he’s arrived, in spite the fact 2 of our better performances (Liverpool and Leicester) came in a 352.

Maybe he doesn’t think 352 works as effectively in England? Who knows. What I do know is that persisting with 343 isn’t going to help us at all.

He hasn't been welded to a 3-4-3 as you mentioned he twice has played the 3-5-2.

It just seems crazy when you look at the midfield options and his past to think that the lack of players in the MF doesn't impact his decision on how to play.

Or I guess we can say that he suddenly lost every ounce of football knowledge he had which seems much less likely.

Possibly the most depressed I've felt about Spurs in 32 years as a fan.

The 90s were bad but I still enjoyed watching us, and the players still actually tried.

We have had (and still have) some incredible players and have won precisely fuck all with any of them.

Levy bleeding the fans dry whilst providing a shoestring budget.

I'm so close to being done.

Yes- shit as they were Fox, Leonhardsen, Sinton, Kerslake, Austin, Calderwood etc they all tried and so their general failure was disappointing but acceptable. This lot are a disgrace

Hate to Bust your Bubble but Jose took Dier away from that position because he sucked at it. Kulu is dead on his feet. Before The 'Kulu is Great ' brigade kills me, I just think he isn't used to so many games at such an intensity.

We had Emerson, Bergwjin, Sanchez and Scarlett on the bench. I believe they would never have made the Bourgh squad either.

Not top players but some quality.

Who do you honestly think is winning with these players?

He won at Inter without the top players, won at Juve before they got top players, won at Chelsea when they year before they were out of the top 4.

He has shown he doesn't need better players than everyone else to win but he does, like every quality manager, need some talent.

There is a massive gulp between Wanks and PEH and the best players.

Football's often about passion & desire. As the game progressed, they wanted it more than we did.

You just can't buy that!!!

(unless you're City or Liverpool... They seem to be able to buy talent AND desire!)

If we swapped players 1-11 with Middlesbrough's tonight, ours would just end up being half decent Championship cloggers with no desire... theirs would suddenly turn into 1970 Brazil!!

What we can all agree on is that we don’t have the MF personnel to play a 2.

If that’s the case surely we have to look at alternatives?!

dier sucking at it is better than playing a little cunt whos going to kill us.

the fact youre even questioning who should play over winks tells me you dont understand how damaging and how shit the little cunt is.

hes killing us! anyone else you choose to play in there would be a better option, they dont need to be a CM they just need to be a footballer. hes not even a passenger, the cunts fucking KILLING US

Fuckin' rubbish...... Sat off them for 75-80mins and gave them a massive foothold in the game.

Are our players all just passive little pussys or is Conte playing every team as if they are Man City?

Crap subs & tactical changes and some very poor individual performances.



M'borough better than us in every department tonight.

Fuckshitwankbollocksarse!!!! :bmj:

Yes we do and so did United and City had better players to beat us and Woolwich had better players to beat Nottingham Forrest but things don't always work out the way they should on paper.

When people are saying we should have played Dier or White or anyone in MF over the players we had that shows how shit our options are.
