At this point I honestly believe that we could get relegated and people would still make excuses.

Can you define “excuses”?? The fact our chairmen has seemingly gone mental??
Our talent acquisition team are obsessed with pretty much untried kids at PL level?

I just don’t expect anybody would say we were at our best if we got relegated?? We tried our best! No excuses there!!

Smallest senior squad in memory. Playing more guaranteed games than ever before in Europe.

It’s clear to anyone with eyes that playing a bunch of under 23s doesn’t work. It’s literally boys v men. Every week at the moment.
But we are without most of our senior players. And even signed more kids in the transfer window.

It’s just negligence at this point in time. But does that qualify as an excuse?

Kinsky culpable for first goal but porro positioning and marking was shambolic. Like him as a footballer porro with passing, shooting and crossing but positionally a disgrace. Asking for trouble straight away as well playing spence left back. Rashford should have got a red for tackle on Gray. Fuck knows why they dont use VAR in televised cup games. Ref again was shit. Seems like refs in this country like to curry up to home crowd or the establishment teams. Ridiculous. UEFA and FIFA refs are straight down the middle. 9 minutes yesterday as well for liverpool injury time v plymouth. Laughable.
 
Spence had played what maybe 12 games. I cannot think of one, one goal that we conceded from our left flank because djed had gone off like a wandering bullock like porro does . Honestly at lease 15 goals this season are solely down to him abandoning his post. Porro has cost us time and time again and he keeps getting game time . Criminal from ange for picking him.

Yet the noises are the board sympathise with Ange. That changing the manager ain’t really gonna change things. WATV seem to agree but what the buffoons do t realise is that another manager probably sets up to me organised and know what we are doing rather than having play ground tactics. Even with the injuries there is no reason why Porro in the first minute should be so far up field and leaving acres of space on our right. No midfiejder in sight either. Do they not see this he Ange’s stupid tactics.
 
One of those bloggers who went to both games said the performance at Villa was worse than Binshit (may have been first half) .
I was shocked thinking 4-0 v 2-1 but as I said this bloke was at both games

Absolute crap. Liverpool game was the worst I’ve ever witnessed from a Tottenham team. . At least yesterday we had a go. Still both games not good enough but anyone who was at those games or watched those games thinking we played better Anfield should be fucking sectioned!!

Never witnessed it thankfully but one astonishing scoreline was up there was losing 6 nil away to sheff utd in 92/93 season I think. Think Cundy and ruddock were at the back for us that game. Think that one and chelsea home 6-1 was painful. Liverpool last thursday we just threw in the towel after 2 nil. Ange will be gone in summer with or without europa league.

Sack him now

We will not have a shot at a decent manager now let’s be honest . Could have been 5 or 6 easily for Villa . Only manager I can think of is McKenna if he thinks Ipswich are done

Let’s not pretend we will be attractive to any decent manager now. Players coming back give McKenna or whoever a couple of weeks to try and get some sort of shape for last qw of the EL

Why did he only make 2 subs? He then complains they are knackered. He takes off Moore who is fresh. Surely son or kulu could have come off? Tells me he really doesn’t want to play our academy players. What about giving reg 30 minutes take off Porro, put Spence RB and reg LB. What about adeji scored a great goal v elfsborg and not been seen since. Surely he would have been worth a go when 2 down. What is the blind faith Ange has in kulu , son, Porro etc. Then turns round and says they are knackered. He really does contradict himself. Both Sarr and Biss haven’t played that much recently anyway same as bent whose had a nice 7 game rest. Just baffles me that he is not willing to give anyone rise a go and then complains about tiredness.

Ange says he's protecting the young players from games like this. BUt the thing is. I would much rather watch an academy player try to push the team then continuously watch Son and Kulu lose the ball all game. I really feel like Ajayi should have been given 20 mins at some point in this game. Even Tyrese Halls treatment is absurd. that kid is a real talent and not getting a sniff but fuck Bentancur chasing shadows for 70 mins is the right call. Fuck that.. Clubs just a fucking mess right now

Keep saying it he has no real intention to play our academy players. He only plays Moore bcos of the publicity and hype that has surrounded him.
