Yup, plus struggling to score more than 1 goal against lesser sides recently, and everyone is making excuses for him that its because he has his defenders injured

Mate you said
I want a manager with the confidence and self belief that they can finally get it winning trophies. They should have that ego.
I brought up 2 managers who had a history of winning major trophies, came here, didn’t get backed by Levy and were fired.
Look no further than our current manager to check all of your boxes.
Ego
Self belief
Won trophies
(granted at lower levels)
That’s what plenty on here want though
They haven’t been “sufficiently” upgraded. Our squad depth is absolute ass and players like Son have massively regressed since Conte was here. So essentially we’ve lost Kane and Son.
Also people on here may not like to talk about him in that way but Conte is a world class manager. Easily top 10 in the world. Of course his tactics can get more out of the players. We won’t be getting a manager at that level again anytime soon. The era of deluxe spurs that Poch created is over and we’re back to Jol/Redknapp style teams at best.
I see no point in sacking Ange mid season with the state of this squad. If we’re going to get rid then we might as well wait until the Summer when the likes of Iraola would be more willing to jump ship. Even then, I can’t get excited for anymore “projects”. Levy will always leave his manager short in crucial areas in the Summer.
Yeah you must have misinterpreted what I said about the CL, my point was the coming to a club with EL football isn't a big draw unlike going to a club with CL football which kinda justifies my point about Tottenham not being a big draw for these managers.
Do you feel in the two weeks that you said that sarcastically that maybe there is a different way people would look at you now in terms of the Spurs fanbase because you've lost four in five and it's become more difficult this job?
I keep saying fanbase, they love their football club, they care about their football club and want their football club to succeed. They made those feelings and emotions seen. I haven't felt anything but support since I have been here and I still feel that support is there. I keep doing what I think is the right thing to get success to this football club and that doesn't change.
The task is difficult at the moment because of our situation but like most things that are fairly difficult to traverse, it's only temporary and we'll get through it and come out stronger.
Do you feel under pressure and is this the most difficult period of your career?
No and no. It is what it is. It’s not what motivates or drives me. I have always, my motivation for what I do is try to create teams who win things and have success and make an impact. That doesn’t really change. I will keep doing what I am doing.
It doesn’t add any pressure or I don’t feel any extra anxiety about anything. I firmly believe we will get through this and come out stronger and create the team we want to be.

Mainly strong. One or two didn't work out, but that was more than offset by the ones that did.
Well yeah that's obvious, we have 4 senior ones at the club already, they'll all be back next month anyway.
We need a LB or maybe a LCB hybrid.
I also really dislike who we've become. We used to have a bit of class. But under this lot the way we treat people yuck.... Pochettino, Nuno, Jose, Furlough, senior concession, Vertonghen, Loris. We used to be Mabbutt, Defoe, Perryman Burkinshaw. Decent. Now we are class less from the pitch to boardroom. That's Levy Cullen and the others.
Not to worry, Levy is bringing in Beyonce and Lady Gaga as reinforcements this summer
Along with Spence and Bergval reasons to be cheerful

FYI.
We have in England what we call "a football season."
It normally runs from August to May.
Last season we finished 5th, missing top 4 and UCL by 2 points.
This season, despite 10 regular first teamers being injured, we are 6 points behind 5th place and UCL.
Grey will be the next to get injured playing this stupid game plan. Every centre back has done their hammy so it’s likely he will eventually too.
Dragusin has an ankle injury
Dragusin got kicked on the ankle, and Romero’s muscle injury wasn’t after sprinting back but after he tried to do a Cruyff turn in the box.
I do think broadly you’re correct that a high line increases injury risk, especially in a packed schedule playing once every 3 days. The solution to that should be buying more CBs.
We started the season with 3 natural CBs and Spence out of the Europa squad… poor decision making by all.
That went right over my head.
This does worry me. Of course levy always falls for bullshit baffles brains too which our current manager has in abundance.
I'm not even sure if this accusation of enjoying a "managerial-merry-go-round" is factually correct. Have we employed more managers in, let's say, the last 20 years compared to some other clubs that are often mentioned as benchmarks of success?
Clubs like Bayern (13), Real Madrid (16) and Ajax (13) have actually had more full-time managers than us (10) in the same time period. If we're guilty of changing managers too much, then these supposedly enviable clubs are doing even worse.
Like it or hate it, this managerial-merry-go-round is universal. It's not something we as a club are particularly guilty of resorting to. In fact, we're probably on the more conservative side in terms of sticking with our managers in the face of adversity.
The average lifetime of a manager is around 18 months. Don't expect them to get years and years, hundreds of millions of pounds worth of signings before you think you can start evaluating them. No one is afforded this sort of a luxury, for good reasons.

How many CB would you have in 26 man squad?
