I know today was a tough watch but I still feel like we need to keep faith with Ange.

There are a LOT of injuries to this squad in Key Areas. Forest are also an excellent side who are 3rd in the table for a reason and they were clinical today.

If we get our first choice 11 fit and healthy we are a match for anyone, and we're more exciting to watch than most. I hope Mr Levy decides to give him more time.

Interesting to see what club hierarchy do now, get rid or back him with adults.
 
He should not be given the axe since we still are in the cups, and are extremely short on personell, but get a feeling he is entering end days. That just based on history of this club in Enic era.

Hard to deliever the goods when your CB paring is fourth and fifth choice, and the only decent keeper is out, but the pressure on him will be mounting now.

Personally think we should forget about PL, outside avoiding getting into releagtion battle, and go all in for the cups

We’re not beating Liverpool and we’re no way good enough to win the Europa.

Get rid. As if we’re not enough of a laughing stock.

We didn’t play bad against 3rd place team. We have to get used to losing against big teams while we still going through a transition. One day we will beat Forest and know it was worth the wait

If you want to live in the "if we" universe, let's just sack the whole coaching staff and just send the11 players to the pitch. We will just watch and say "if we had a coach we would do this or that" and save us some money wasted on a fraud.

The manager is paid to deal with reality, not "if"s. He needs to manage his squad and know strengths and weaknesses, play what suits those aspects and plan for a long busy season.

Not figured out so much to stop us being the top scorers in the league.

We also had the 2nd best defence until we lost our centre backs and put keeper.

Poor squad depth, and too many inexperienced players lays at the door of our owners who refuse to sign pedigree players, and always opt for prospects and journeymen.

How many games have we lost with both Micky and Romero playing? Hint, it’s more than you think.

Spurs still have the quality to beat the likes of Ipswich, Palace, etc....

Ok if we lets say beat Palace and Ipswich, win nothing and finish anywhere between 5th and 10th then we are singing from the same hymn sheet. Becsuse that is the best this club can hope for during this cycle of a new project. So over the course of the season it doesn't matter the results as the outcome will eventually be the same.
 
Levy (much like Ratclif and Ineos did) worries about the financial implications of sacking the manager because obviously there will be money that will need to be paid and then more money for the new manager and our FFP situation is looking sketchy already especially with the likely fact that we'll have no european football next season. A vicisous cycle.
 
The sad thing about today's result is that we saw it coming. We've been here before. We just don't win these close games. Refs give us absolutely no respect and every 50/50 goes against us but thats not helped by our manager and players just looking lifeless and accepting it.

I hate Woolwich. I hate everything Arteta stands for. I hate their set piece coach.. I hate their dark arts... But you can be sure they are all roaring on the sideline going crazy if every call is going against them.... That feeds onto the pitch and players get in the refs ear... From what I can see only Maddison ever seems to complain and because he's on his own he always gets booked because it looks like he's the only one complaining so is out of line... The top teams have 3 or 4 players around the ref going mad so he ends up booking none of them and gives them the next 50/50 decision...



If Ange can't see that these close games are all being decided by these small factors and can't learn to make us a bit dirtier to grind out results in these horrible away games... Then he's not the right man.. You can't expect a clean open game of football every week where the ref isn't effected by the crowd. Unfortunately thats not how it works.. If he can't get us to start winning ugly then forget about it because we've been at this all season. 1-0 defeats away to Palace, Bournemouth and Forrest and all 3 games were the same...
 
Got to go now. His football is juvenile and has been completely figured out. He cannot provide any answers on the pitch, we are getting worse and worse as the season goes on. He literally refuses to change so there is no point in continuing. How many games are we willing to lose in the league? 15? 20?

I can’t believe what I hear from some fans who are still backing Ange, they are lowering the standards for this club. It’s now acceptable to finish in the bottom half? A 60 year old manager who has never managed in an elite league before now is the chosen one who will make us great again?

We all enjoyed Ange’s arrival as it was a nice change of air after Conte’s noxious fumes, but the honeymoon should have ended against Chelsea last November. A year on with us heading for the bottom end of the table, I don’t know anyone can defend him. Yeah it will be tough to find a replacement as we are in such a bad position and have a chairman that everyone regards with suspicion, but that’s not a reason to keep someone who can’t do the job. No manager with any experience at the top level would have this team in 11th at Christmas having lost half the matches.

I actually fucking am starting to despise some of you lot. Which is probably irrational and stupid as it’s just an internet forum and you’re entitled to opinions & all that.

But still, genuinely rage inducing. Just the same fucking cliche bot statements loss after loss after loss. Like a fucking bot Twitter account.
