Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We need to sack Ange plain and simply, maybe even Levy in this moment will bottle doing that under the circumstances of being called out by the fans. We've been so poorly managed by him footballing wise Santini knew what he was all about and left.

Fucking injuries yes but change the style of play so it has less impact. We can't keep putting in gutless performances like today and not get relegated.

Why are our fans so quiet? Why aren't they going fucking mental at all the time-wasting? So frustrating when so many other sides use the crowd as a 12th man, but we never do. I know people are probably too pissed off by now, but we never do that, any season.

The time wasting is awful.
I can't stomach this bullshit any more. Don't these cunts feel ashamed for playacting and rolling around? The game is practically dead.
When I played football, got kicked or elbowed we never show your hurt. Don't want the cunt to feel satisfied, and you'll just crunch him later.

I just can't stomach this playacting, it's no longer sport, it's WWE. Must have been 6 or 7 gone down in that second half. Like saving Private Ryan ffs. Keeper wasted at least 3 minutes, then you got subs on top.
7 minutes is a joke, insult, then the cunts waste more time in added time. The time is bad enough but it's the disruption to the flow of the game that hurts. Can't get anything going.
I hate it. If I was at the stadium I'd be going absolutely crazy and encouraging everyone.

Dippers don't play that shit. They go mad if Oppo gets a throw in... We need to do similar and turn the huge stadium to our fucking advantage.
 
Our pressing has never been great, as it borders on mindlessly running at opposition bereft of a clear shape and structure. Now that fatigue is a significant factor, we can’t even press at a high intensity for long stretches. So it looks even more dysfunctional and therefore easier to beat. A glorified Championship team casually played through it today, just like how a relegation fodder in Bundesliga did couple of days ago. There were several instances where a player or two in immediate promixity of the ball were trying to press, but since other players weren’t in the same page it led to nothing. At the moment we’re in this grey area between high block and low block, getting the worst of both worlds.

We already lack frontline players who can make something out of nothing by holding the ball up and getting by their defenders. Now that we can’t establish any kind of dominance over any opposition because we can’t win the ball higher up the pitch regularly, we can barely launch anything dangerous.

Meanwhile we continue to leak goals at the usual alarming rate. Can’t score+ can’t defend= This utter mess. An Ange team that lacks attacking prowess is the worst thing to watch, even putting results aside. No other way to put it.
 
Things haven't been great since Ryan Mason was part of the coaching squad. I'm not blaming him for the whole thing but a billion £ business should have the best coaching in the world. Not a plant to feed info back to the chairman

They’d all be injured, too - your argument assumes better players don’t get injured. Ironically, the ones left standing are the younger ones on the outskirts of the squad. Levy’s not blameless but - pointlessly checks - this injury crisis has never happened to this eaten before: could this be because Ange can’t rotate his squad? Since the start of time, you have your key squad and then rotate your younger ones in one or teo at a time to gain minutes and experience. Unfortunately, Ange’s game amangement is so appalling, there’s no ‘coasting’ the last 20’minutes so there’s no consolation. Don’t delude yourself: Levy and the squad are an issue, but Ange is the main problem right now. It won’t get better until he is replaced.

It doesn’t ever get better at Spurs. There were a couple of good years under Poch but don’t pretend a new manager will achieve anything better when it’s been like this for 20 years. Spurs will always be an almost team at best.
