He should go but I’d also add that football-wise ENIC are an embarrassment to the club . Always half arsed unless it’s money making infrastructure

I’m not really a betting man but I know where we’ll be in 18 months
Absolutely. This is Levy's dream scenario unfolding with his 16th "get out of jail free" card
i.e all the fans anger and frustration once again being targeted at the manager.

The manager He appointed, of course
 
Well past his sell by date now. Is Levy just hoping we fluke a win Thursday, like we fluked the point today? Honestly cant see how Ange's presence is in any way an asset rather have Wells & Mason.

Need the next manager to be able to bring through young talent and get them organised. I like McKenna at Ipswich, though I partly feel the Spurs job may be too early for him. Having said that he did achieve a double promotion and has the right attributes around developing talent.
 
Ample opportunities to sack him before it got this bad - too late now, anyone calling for his head still is going to be disappointed because whats the point in doing it now?
We aint winning the EL, the league is fucked but we are safe. Zero point sacking him now when we can take the time to identify the next unlucky bastard to bring in.
He is 100% done here but he will finish the season for sure.

Cannot wait til the summer tbh, absolutely dejected the last few months.

I’m terrified he won’t sack him though this summer. Instead will keep him until November then sack him so he can have another transition season of not actually competing. None of us would be surprised if that were Levy’s actual plan.

I'd rather have Hinge and bracket!!!
 
Ange Postecoglou on the importance of a good atmosphere on Thursday night:

“I can't sort of dictate to people how they sort of interact, but, AZ’s crowd certainly helped them on Thursday night and we need our crowd to get behind the boys on Thursday to make it an atmosphere where maybe we lose some of that nervousness and anxiety within our game.

But the reality is, we as a team have to respond irrespective of the atmosphere and one may follow the other. If we start the game strong, it’ll get the place nice and loud, which will help us.”
Some might say that the manager has a big part to play in helping the players lose the nervousness and anxiety within their game... but no, blame the fans.

As for a strong start, maybe don't direct Porro to steam up the field as soon as the whistle blows, whilst we immediately turn over possession and give the opposition a free run on goal again then.
 
Unsurprisingly you were spot on!

They should have gone at us even more. Had they been brave and done that the game would have been over by half time.
I wish I was wrong but we've just become depressingly predictable. I really hope we win on Tuesday and go through but I know we are going to gift them at least 3 or 4 stone wall chances so it doesn't matter how well we play, we will be relying on AZ to miss them chances to have any chance of going through.
 
Blaming the fans now

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, speaking to Sky Sports: "At 2-0 we had a bit of a mountain to climb. It was a chaotic game today and the boys showed a real mentality. It would have been really easy at 2-0, with the atmosphere in the stadium, to let it slip away from us but they fought hard and got themselves back in the game.

Personally I think the tie is over. It’s all very reminiscent of the Milan tie under Conte. Can see the second leg being similarly poor.

Same. Feels like we've lost the dressing room which was the same during that Milan tie. I'll never forget Harry Kane's face when Conte chose to bring on a defender after Romero got sent off when we needed a goal. Mason looked just as confused beside Conte. You knew then he'd lost everyone. Feels like we are back there again albeit at a much lower level and worse than ever now
 
It's never to early to get rid of this fraud and think even Mason is a better option until the end of the season. It's blatantly clear whatever he is trying to do is failing miserably and the need for change is urgent and required immediately , look what the difference Moyes made at Everton.
I suspect with even a modicum of proper training we have the players to win the Europa league, but under this fool we have little to no hope.
This might be Levys greatest managerial mistakes to date, not seeing what is clearly obvious to everyone else and not firing this Muppet.
