Match West Ham (H) 17/01 - 3PM. Here we go again…

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Its looking like a team that hasn't been coached - or doesn't understand the instructions. There is no shape once Spurs are in possession, and the build up play seems improvised rather than coached.

What on earth has this squad and coach been doing all season in training?

Been saying it for weeks and weeks

Players are flawed etc, if course, but hard to judge them when they're clearly not coached at all

Frank is out of his depth

Get someone else in, now, get them working with the players

By summer we'll have a good idea iof who is good enough and who isn't
 
What an awful depressing time. One of the worst Spurs teams I've ever seen. And to make it worse our rivals are being handed the league on a plate.
We could have pushed on to great things around 2019 like Liverpool did but instead we went the other way. So sick of this
 
Alonso will come in and be faced with the same problems, largely.

We'll get a bounce, but as we go on, our core issues will rise to the surface again.

Until we get serious about this squad.

Which ENIC won't do.

Because they're scamming liars.

The thing is that a lot of money has been spent on this squad. The two midfielders cost almost £40m each. 3 of our back four cost £50m each. Our LW cost £40m. Our CAM cost £60m.

We have spent a fortune on average, lazy players and asked a lower league manager to win PL games with them. We have completely fucked ourselves.
 
That was awful at both ends of the pitch. I understand the 3 attackers simply are not good enough but the defence should be doing so much better. When will Solanke get on but he is not match fit or a proficient goalscorer. Too many poor passes in final half. The chances we have had have been blasted. biggest surprise we are still in it but a lot needs to change.

We havent looked coached since Conte left.

He's the last serious manager we had, and he left with a warning. We didn't heed said warning.
 
Frank hopefully has 45 mins to save his job. He has to try something different. We’ve got to give West Ham something to think about. Might be worth taking a punt in bringing Danso on and putting Van De Ven up front with his size and pace. Seems a tad desperate but these are desperate times!
Even if we woke up in the 2nd half and went on to win the game, it's always the question of why he couldn't get it right straight from the start of the 1st half. He has nothing in the locker to get us going even from the get go means to me those uplifting performance in the 2nd halves came from the players themselves more than from Frank.

They played more Ange ball than Frank ball when that happens. It's different. Let's see if that's the case again later in the 2nd half.
 
Manager is terrible. Easily the worst Ive seen at Spurs.

The way he apparently sets us up is to be tight through the middle. Yet we look exposed everywhere.

There is a few suspects in our team that are going through the motions today. Do we have anyone strong enough to give them a boot up the arse? I dont think we do. Theyll just shrug their shoulders whilst Frank makes up something about everyone being great and we played well...

The most obvious thing ever though... we spend money on a player we didn't need. And hes been a passenger that entire 45. Whether its due to having a limited player like Gray and a struggling Xavi next to him making him look worse, Im not sure.

We are playing against the 2nd worst team in the league and are lucky to still be in it with the sitters theyve missed. A huge lack of pride and ambition throughout our team, the only thing Im seeing in abundance is ego. And its rotten throughout.
