Yeah terrible penalties from both of them. Sarr's was even worse than Bissouma's. He's nowhere near the fucking goal. Really costly errors from both of them.
I guess Ange will get the blame from the Ange out brigade.

Yep. Ange the clown.
Is that Shady?
Looking for positives out of the game, it was a massive improvement on the Ipswich, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth games. Scored 3 and missed quite a few more. Two really poor challenges in the box cost us in the end.
I honestly think playing youngsters in the league is actually more effective than in European games. European games need more experience to navigate. The fast pace nature of the league will suit the youngsters more, and they gain experience from playing there to go to European games.
We also still had a lot to do on both goals , was nearer the half way line for the first goal. People saying we were given /gifted two goals is taking away from our good play. WE gifted Chelsea two goals is correct though.
We were never given the credit when due. Our presses were fantastic for 10 minutes. The presses led to cunterella slipping.
But like last season, the presses didn't last and became more erratic. No on in midfield like an Eriksen or Dembele to compose the tempo. We got sucked in.
We just spend it badly !!
What does 2024/25 mean then?
It's not absolving Levy to point out that we're 6th. Without revenue we should be 5th pushing 4th at least.
But it's a mischaracterization to pretend we don't spend a shit load of money on players.

We overpay for players who aren't top level and we do that because we refuse to pay top level wages.
The club is run by a property investment firm and we operate like a property investment firm.The model is to look for assets that aren't top level but could be and then hopefully flip them later.
The issue is that we charge high end rent, whether the asset is high end or not and we also end up keeping hold of most of the assets that never become high end.
We spend a lot but it's fake spending.
Yup.
Tbh we may as well bin the league off indefinitely. Try to win cups and play academy kids or other recruiteded top talents. If we manage to stay midtable in the process then perfect. Make the tickets cheaper, make the atmosphere better and give the fans a sense of identity with academy products playing a very specific brand of football.
I was referring to the pundits , merson , Chartaghar etc not fans
They scored 4 last year as we let them use us as a practise session
Levy will pull the trigger on Ange today I reckon, and we’ll all be distracted again from the true rot of our club
I'm sure you've just spoken a future Spurs comedy routine into existence. Thank you.
I'm not sure Udogie even remembers what being a real fullback is like anymore. It's starting to get tragic.
If he pulls the trigger and Mason is in charge we will look like a bunch of idiots.
I disagree- a lot of these are, or should be, predictable scenarios which you anticipate and drill on as a good coach. Other teams seem to be better at being able to do this right now than us. I have to believe that's a coaching issue.
He'll probably be on red alert and putting out feelers and plan as the situation evolves. It's possible Ange could save himself yet, but, really Levy will probably take a week or so at least before pulling the trigger on anything.
