Wouldn't worry about it, every single Spurs fan was enamoured by him and thought he was the messiah the first 10 where he picked up 3 MOTM's and the way he came across in press conferences was refreshing, the players obviously loved the way he setup because it let them off the leash post Conte, reality hit us post Chelsea match and we never really recovered.

Anyway I think he goes after Thursday should we lose.

hindsight is 20:20 innit?
 
I can understand losing a game. But it would be nice to watch us and see if the players looked coached and motivated. Like there's some organisation and a shape. Who knows maybe then we wouldn't give 4 gifts to the opposition and have a chance at winning.

Our attempts at playing it out from the back are absolutely comical as well.

he did an excellent job as interim manager, a lot better than AVB football. He just wound people up with his cocky attitude and expectation that he should get the job. If he had been less cocky he would have been remember well. The football we played that season under AVB is as bad as what we have seen this one just less chaotic, it was horrible, players had totally given up and we had basically collapsed.

These players are done so I don't even think any amount of coaching on the training pitch now will make a difference, they're just going through the motions.

I think though what's more alarming is the lack of accountability at this club, for many years it's too easy for players to make mistakes and then find themselves in the team again.

Speak for yourself.

At the time I said we were not playing great but we are winning so I won't complain. I also said I don't think the tactic is sustainable for the season.

After the Chelsea loss I then said I think he's absolutely dumb for persisting with the high line with 9 men and Eric Fucking Dier at CB and it was alarming. I said unlike most on here and most pundits who praised him, I thought the fact that he was actually getting praised for it was weird and then named managers like Mourinho who were sensible to tweak things depending on opponent.

I wanted him out early so don't try to box everyone together because you got it so wrong as little as a few weeks ago.

i was excited by the first 10 matches but always felt scoring the 2-3 goals per match he seemed to require was unsustainable and surely he'd adjust. then we lost some key players through january and i thought, we'll be better when they get back and then we weren't and we still seemed wide open and clueless in defense and that's when i jumped off the ss ange and was roundly mocked and insulted for a solid year because of it. had about 15 people on ignore here at the height of the cult.

If he's not gone soon then I will be. My love of this club has been completely sucked away. I cannot stand this useless fucking prick.

I feel you mate. This is the first time I think I'm done with this. I can stomach shit football but a proper football club or modern football bollocks but winning football (maybe, not sure) but not a corporate money making scheme posing as a football club AND losing.
 
This was the moment we all should have clocked the game was up but we all sat there and ate it up and couldn't see past our own delusion, mental when you really think about it :D

Sitting in when down to NINE MEN to not expose yourself to constant chances in behind is not "hiding behind the sofa" its basic common sense and exactly what a very attacking, highly successful coach in Jurgen Klopp did.

People forget as well that Chelsea scored 2 of their goals on 93 and 97 mins, we had them at 1-1 for 20 mins and it was 2-1 for 18 mins and we had 3 clear cut chances to score.

Today i played a decent game of 7 a side, did some grocery shopping, dropped off old furniture to a buyer off FB marketplace, waxed and polished my car.
Somehow i feel like i achieved more than this fraud has in a whole year
