Match Everton (A) 19Jan, 2pm KO

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We're awful. The comeback was another fake, nothing one against a team that didn't really know how to see out a game. And we're going nowhere.

But in spite of all that.. I hope Mikey Moore's contribution doesn't get buried. Came on the pitch in a hideous situation and showed more personality than a lot of our experienced players this season. Special talent
 
Not saying that he doesn’t have his moments but people shouldnt get fooled by one bit of skill like that though. Kulu does nothing for weeks and then does that. I know pace isn’t everything but he is just too slow for this league. He got comprehensively outpaced in the Newcastle home game by Dynamite Dan Burn.
I know it doesn't say much, if anything at all. But Kulu has been our best player this season.
 
Playing us is always massive for them. For some weird reason they always seem up for it and seem to treat it like a local derby between great rivals. Just because we were once in a race with them for the title (which they won). Fucking weirdos. Really hope they go down again, would be happy if I never have to see that ugly irritating cunt Vardy on MOTD ever again.
get your money on Winks scoring the winner against us....
 
I'll admit, when I first saw the lineups I actually thought that he might have stumbled upon something useful. A typical 3-4-2-1 where Maddison and Kulusevski roam freely all over the pitch, Porro and Spence provide the width by pushing way up while relying on RCB and LCB to have their backs ,and Bergvall-Sarr work their socks off to keep the midfield together. I wasn't expecting perfect execution, but I surely wasn't expecting this calamity of a first half either.

IMO he totally butchered it by asking the aforementioned RCB (Gray) to play like an additional midfielder.The guy was constantly in two minds between holding his spot and pushing forward to press or to receive a pass. I guess the idea was to have him do a little bit of both, so that we have something resembling 3 CBs and 3 CMs at the same time.

Except he could do neither, because he was tasked with the impossible. Dragusin and Davies were left even more exposed than they could have been in a back 4. Sarr and Bergvall were routinely outnumbered in midfield. Maddison and Kulusevski were stuck between dropping deeper to salvage the situation versus staying further up to support Son. What a mess this was.

Looks like he had never used a back 3 in his life before, as he was hilariously naive in terms of how it works. Then the question arises: Why not keep your usual 4-3-3 and play Gray as a proper DM instead, with Kulusevski at RW and Maddison at LW? Mind-boggling stuff.
 
Levy's time should be coming to an end, even if I struggle to see it happening.

Our Levy/ENIC out groups need to organise into something long term for it to have any effect. Right now it seems to be a smattering of loosely connected groups that gather outside of the stadium a couple of times per season when patience runs out. They need to unite and become something consistent. Something that shows up at every home game no matter the result. Otherwise the owners are just going to ignore it.
It's really simple. Take a few games. Fill the stadium. Watch till half time. After half time, all fans walk out, leaving the empty stadium. It won't take long. After the second or third game, even Levy and his board will get the picture.

Yes, you loose the money of the tickets. But look at it this way. You only getting 10 percent of the value you should be getting. After Levy and his board are removed, you'll get 100 percent. Small price to pay but worth it in the long run.

I'm not from the UK and I've seen this work in our country. Finances of a club trumps all and the Fans finance the club.
 
Christ, that post match interview from Ange was abysmal. I know it’s hard to defend that result but just coming out with bollocks about difficult to gain traction in the first half, hoping to gain consistency and hoping to show improvement in up and coming games, simply doesn’t cut it.
He looks completely broken.

Yet they DID see the game out...
Reverse the roles, we're 3-0 up and Everton get a goal back, that game ends 3-3, or worse!!!

We can't see a game out, and we're too pig shit thick to spot when a team is there to be taken advantage of, and actually DO something about it!

2nd half general admission - take any empty seat you wish - ticket sales, you say?
