We can't have another Mourinho or Conte - as much as I hate these shitty results under Ange, it is at least entertaining *most* of the time.

There has to be a middle ground with a manager that plays good football without completely losing the ability to defend.

The way the team is set up I have never been convinced sorry to say. Naive. Ange is totally out of his depth. It's not a surprise, the most demanding league in the world and Ange is a 60 year old from backwater leagues.

The step was far too big for him. He's stupid for thinking he can just play one way and get results. PL is too demanding.

He can't organise a defence. He never has.

These idiots who say we have the thiord best defence or some shit, it's nonsense. Use your eyes, teams create so many chances against us.

Anyone who still thinks Ange is the answer, or should stay as manager is completely delusional or should just give up on football and choose another sport, because they clearly have no idea what they are watching.
 
The owners aren't good enough. The manager isn't good enough. The players aren't good enough. It's as simple as that now really. They'll still charge the earth and mugs will still pay it. Until they get hit in the pockets nothing will ever change.
 
Honestly do feel defensively we looked really shaky when Davies came off and Gray had to play there. Then we took Sarr off and we lost that bit of protection and a lot of control.
Many players looked off the pace and were allowing B'mouth to intercept and bully - similar to Palace.
 
It just doesn't feel like we're building to anything, it's all a bit terminal feeling. I haven't even put up the Christmas tree yet and it already feels like it's petered out and we've got to plan for next season.
 
Was it really less than 2 weeks ago we took City apart.

That was shocking tonight, especially after the performance last Sunday.. Buckle up for Sunday, could be a bumpy ride..
 
Not disagreeing but who do you replace him with? We have had Poch, Jose and Conte and it’s always the same result .
Tottenham Hotspur’s is no longer a football club , we are a business now - winning football used to be our business model , now it’s just about turning a profit.

Ange has to do better but I think we have a very flaky squad of players. Players who turn up when the sun shines and hide when it doesn’t.

I honestly hope it’s an AVB situation where Poch comes in and rescues us and shows the players aren’t that shit. My gut feeling sadly is our players are a bit wank and we are fucked.
 
But Ange's tactics and management is woeful. He is a huge part of the problem. Our team is much better than this shower we've seen since Chelsea last year.
What's a cruel reversal of fortune isn't it? We were fucking brought down by them last season riding high.

But I don't expect us to do the same to them, we'll likely gonna be fucked even deeper by them this weekend. Argh, I so hate that scummy club down to my bones. I so hope they can just smoked out from the existence of reality.
 
I just don’t get it. How can we score a combined total of 11 against City, United and Villa and not wipe the floor with Bouremouth, Ipswich and Palace. Bizzare
