Match Spurs vs Brighton, Sat 8 April, 3pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Thought the same with Potter, they looked amazing at the start of the season with him. It’s their recruitment and ideas from top to bottom that is the key, best run club in the prem.

Managed by a certain Spurs fan called Paul Barber who started his career with us. When Potter left I believe they had Gallardo and Postecoglou as their main targets and got De Zerbi afterwards.

So I guess if we want to follow this get Paul Barber and maybe Gallardo or Postecoglou as I doubt we will be getting De Zerbi.

Oh yeah there's zero chance we get De Zerbi. But he'd have been excellent if Spurs fans wanted great football.
 
How the fuck can we keep playing like this and for some unfathomable reason think something miraculous is going to happen to improve things. Giving up 70% possession at home to Brighton and same formation week in week out. Absolutely fucking shocking.
 
Ffs most away teams would have more ball!we’re not even playing like an away team. Surely cunte and coaching should feel embarrassed to setup a team to play like and offer no coaching which emphasises keeping the ball. How can they think that in a world class stadium, 62k in the ground that is good and the best they can do with all their coaching might! It’s deliberate no one can setup the team to play like this if you have a brain cell!
It's not a good watch is it.
 
Watching a team that has 33 year old Danny Welbeck play positive, aggressive, and good football that is running circles around us, it seems immensely obvious to me that for all the complaints about players and mentality that the problem at the club is that we’ve been playing tactically inept, defensive, dark ages football for the past four years.

Positive, pressing, possession based football wins in the modern premier league and we've just jettisoned that approach since Pochettino left.
We've been hamstrung by the influence of senior figures.

Kane and Son as 2/3 forwards does not allow for a high intensity pressing game.
