It's diabolical.
Before the excuses come out. Monaco are missing lots of first team players, a much weaker standard of opposition than we're used to, and this is their managers first game.
How they're playing is how Tottenham should be playing. Not like fucking Stoke.
Stoke under Pulis played better football. First, every single player (bench included) gave 110% each and every game. They would put teams under lots of pressure, especially at home. I remember when they had Liam Lawrence and Matty Etherington on the wings...they'd run at their man all day long, putting in cross after cross. Ricardo Fuller was a right handful up front...physical and technical. Crouchy was class for them up top. Joe Allen, Charlie Adam, Tuncay...they had ballers in the middle who could pick sweet passes. But they're mainly remembered for Delap's throw-ins or Shawcross' meaty tackles, cause gits like Wenger kept giving them bad PR.
Oh and they weren't the 9th richest club in the world or the most expensive ST in the galaxy.
It's more the playing for set pieces and getting men behind the ball. But you're right, they played hard and we're very good on the break, Fuller was an absolute handful.
This is so much worse than what Nuno was serving up, and results are starting to catch up to performances, which anyone with half a brain could see that was going to happen. Strap in for a rough few weeks. This is horrific. Someone posted the other day that we were one point better off than against opposition last season, and I think with the Villa result we're 2 points worse off. This "we're hard to beat" nonsense is wild room Vic has bailed us out far too often. Anyone defending this is hilarious.

Too negative in play we have 100 percent shifted to defence while being shit in attack
Worst performance of the season. Should have lost by 5.
It's fair to ask some questions of Frank now. We shouldn't be this bad.

Shades of 2nd season of Conte.
This has been painfully obvious for weeks. Totally out of depth. He might be a good coach, but wrong club. With our run upcoming, we're fucked.
What?? Go and check Bournemouth’s fixtures during that period ..very tough start. And as Spurs fans should all know the first 10 games of a manager’s start means fuck all in the scheme of things.

People say give him time, get some players back, it will get better. Yeah it probably will, but I've still got no interest in watching a "good" version of his playing the percentages hoofball.
Bad fan I might be, but it just aint to my tastes.

We’ve fired like 5 straight managers within 2 seasons.
When will you guys admit the quality of players this club has had post-poch is not good.
Can’t see any hope until bergvall and vuskovic are 22+.

Only quality he has shown is being very lucky. We've gotten a lot of results we don't deserve.
Yeah I’m just hoping it’s suddenly going to start to click and we start looking good but I’m a bit worried! Surely even with all the injured we should be able to look like a semi decent team , just not seeing it at the minute
One off games are hardly conclusive evidence of anything, but the fact that a team whose manager has been in charge for 11 days looked much better than us in every sense of the term goes against the common sentiment in this thread regarding how much time managers need to oversee noticeable changes in their teams.
That time might not be 2 months, but those who have already started complaining that we sack managers every 18 months [spoiler: everyone does these days] could be in for a rough ride. He won't get to serve 18+ months of this.
