Just a thought...perhaps it's not the excuses or our performances that's the problem. Could it be our poor choice and execution of these excuses...?

So now you’re saying the individual parts aren’t good enough which is certainly valid.
But nevertheless a manager’s primary remit is to make the whole team greater than (or at least equal to) the sum of its parts. Our 1st choice midfield can surely perform better than it has in the last 180 minutes of football. It doesn’t augur well for when we get more 1st choice players back.
This has to fucking end tonight.
Levy is taking the absolute piss out of this fan base.
Spurs under Ange are a joke.
How the fuck Pedro Porro is getting a game anywhere near the defence is beyond me.
Porro is so fucking shit at defending it's unbelievable.
Pep deserves a cut of the 40 million the miser paid for the twat.
He got 80% of the Walker money back and sold Spurs this clown.

“Project” seems such a levy ism when it comes to football. A project has a start and end date with a clear objective. No such thing exists with Spurs.
Football’s only project is to win the next game. That’s it, I think.
Consider the thousands of clubs at every level of British football, from the parks to the senior professionals, every single one of them want to win the next game. Except one, Levy’s club who he wants to project manage us into oblivion.
It’s insanity.
Winning is all that ever has counted.
And winning football is entertaining football before any of us get into the delusional position of thinking you need a rabona every other game or it’s all shit. It really isn’t like that.
Some of the best games ever had tactical nous and commitment and very little flair. That is competitive sport.

I am sorry. I haven’t really, what’s going on there that is of interest ? i know they are having a decent season thus far. But what is your comparison ?
Imo Porro should play wide right atm and nowhere near RB. Spence to RB, Regulon LB is the best option right now.

Porro cannot defend so moving him up might well be an answer, but Thick Dundee only changed the system once. At Everton. With stunning results.
Wise words.
I think we're all agreed that the club should think twice about triggering Ange's two year extension.
Nothing wrong with being cautious in these circumstances
That’s an even better idea
. He really is dog shit. Spence is twice the player and half as prone to the gaffs.

I mean. Where do you even start?
That's our number #6 over there on the right back. Who's there because our right back is ON THEIR FUCKING LEFT BACK AND IS OUR HIGHEST PLAYER ON THE PITCH.
Oh, and guess where the goal came from. Yep, their left wing, in acres of space and completely unmarked by - you guessed it - Pedro Porro.
In this passage of play, Porro is late to the press, which sets the whole train in motion. Bentancur has no choice but to cover in behind him. This is clearly what Ange wants them to do.
But you can see how utterly uncoached this team is because the players aren't pressing up in unison. They're supposed to be "man to man" - how many Villa men do you see unmarked though? I count three in the middle of the pitch alone.
Furthermore, in no world should your only defensive midfielder be out on the right back: in fact, he should NEVER move from a 10m radius in the middle of the pitch in front of the centre backs. How often do you see Rodri or Busquets vacate the middle? This is schoolboy stuff.
In no world should your whole team be FUCKED if the first line of the press is broken, but that's exactly what happens here. And has happened time and time again under this clown.
Another thing - pressing is nothing to do with personnel. Someone please explain to me how having Romero or VDV available will prevent this shitshow from occurring? We know it won't, because it happened repeatedly when we had all XI players fit.
In years to come people will look back on this period and you'll not find a soul who will admit to ever backing him. It'll be seen as a Sherwood level appointment.
Sherwood is loads better than Mr Brisbane Roar

He sets them up to fail again and again.

I really do think that some of the senior players are not injured at all.
They are just avoiding this crap until Levy has to do something.

Yeah man we covered all this in the match thread. But cheers.
What was wrong with Sherwood? Great ppg- underrated tenure
1st drive and already the Chiefs have got their bullshit ref call
Is he sacked yet?
