He’s right about that but you just can’t take him seriously when the available players look like they don’t have a fucking clue what to do in any phase of the game. That is not down to (lack of) player quality, it’s down to coaching and motivating.

Yup and we can’t sack the players for it.
I’m curious what are the stats for us winning a game from a losing position. It feels like the majority of our wins came after we took the lead. When we concede first, it’s mostly game over.
Tbf once the injuries are all back we will have a good side and can actually try sticking to the system he previously implemented.. Last couple of weeks he's just resorted to park the bus.
Once all fit I like the look of..
Kinsky
Spence Romero Vdv Udogie
Bentacur
Deki madders
Tel Solanke. Son
Supplement that by taking up the option of Cardoso (in for Benta) and buying a top left footed right winger like Kubo/Raphinha/ Madueke/ Bakayoko (in for Sonny, tel goes to LW) and we have a very good side capable of changing anyone

Whether or not that’s the ethos he picked (I doubt it) that’s the ethos he got last night. That’s on him.
Same, if you're gonna moan about injuries then stop sucking off Levy in regards to it being a good transfer window. These are players that you wanted in, if they're not good enough then thats down to you, stop moving the fucking goalposts.
We came from behind to beat West Ham, Brentford and Villa at home.
Agreed.
The quality of the training ground and stadium isn't what breeds complacency. It's the culture within the club itself that does it. From the ownership all the way down.
Levy is not concerned with winning trophies. He is concerned with finishing within the top 6.
Trouble is, this is the excuse he is telling Levy who will swallow it because he has no clue about football.
Compare and contrast with the amount of times we've thrown leads away Leicester (a) , Brighton, Fulham, Chelsea, Wolves, Woolwich, Newcastle, Leicester (h), Roma
He's the guy who sat next to a player on a 24 hour flight and didnt say one word to him.
We laughed at that when he joined, but now we know he did it because he's a rude prick.
I agree.
The senior players have given up on it and a growing number of supporters are feeling the same.
The project is over.
It's been a failure.

That first female journalist sounds so tentative, like she is afraid that he is going to snap at her.
He probably would. He’s a miserable prick with a chip on both shoulders.
I’m actually sick of him now.
ENICs worst failure and as we know that is up against some stiff competition. Its been a disaster, both employing him and sticking with him this long.
The only glimmer is that I can sense a sea change. Less and less people buying into it's about getting people back. And all that childish but sincere " cup treble" talk almost totally absent. We are not winning the CC, EL, FA we will limp to about 10th, when other teams stop playing and there's no pressure on Romero Maddison Bissouma and Bentancur.
I pretty much said it first, and I'll repeat again. Daniel Levy told Spurs fans he was knocking down WHL so we could compete for the best players and trophies. He lied. He built the stadium so he was no longer forced to compete because the alternate revenue streams made base line investment in the team all that was required. He now only needs the mens team IN the premier league. Watch for renewed focus on the women's side winning which is achievable at a much lower investment level. This will be sold to the credulous as every bit as important to the club.
The appointment of vibes Ange, a man wedded to the intangible of "entertainment" is also significant in that it's now brand aligned. The antithesis of Antonio Conte. So we are not about the results it's about the style. Expectations lowered all round. "It's who we are mate" "We've got our Tottenham back".
Outside a sale of the club and new leadership focused on a coherent plan to win silverware, which would obviously mean the removal of Levy, Lange, Postecoglou, we will be stuck in this pattern. It won't get better and the backlash from those who brought in so heavily to 'Ange is building , jam tomorrow " 'Positivity' will be really nasty.

now?? you have some serious resilience!
It's a double fuck up isn't it?
Hiring him in the first place and then failing to realise the game was up.
Levy's getting dragged down with the corpse now by not sacking him.
Ange may have actually been the best thing to happen to Spurs.
Absolutely nothing. And he shouldn’t be sacked for losing a cup semi, away from home, against the presently best team in the world.
But, he should for the nature of the defeat. The lack of desire and basic tactical awareness of the players. The results leading up to this. The lack of any green chutes of recovery.
Perfectly acceptable press conference though.
blind leading the blind when them two idiots talk football.
"we didnt get to the levels we needed too" how many times have we heard that generic waffle? not once has this guy spoken about actual football or tactics. its fucking amazing.
