Management Roberto De Zerbi

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Also, but players are bad too. Think they were bad trained under those two, some were good and are bad now, some were never very good.
It goes beyond quality. The biggest issue is their mentality and how little football intelligence they show.

If we don’t get rid of the majority of the players we’ll find ourselves in the same predicament next season, no matter who’s in charge .
 
Tottenham head coach Robert De Zerbi speaking in the press conference:

"In the first half, in the first 35 minutes, we played well."

Bruce Willis Wtf GIF

And even then.... not that well.
 
Can we finally realise the manager is not, has never been and never will be the main problem? This team is struggling because the recruitment has been awful plain and simple
The ultimate problem no. But Ange was absolute dogshit tactically and couldn't adapt after getting figured out after ten matches, Frank didn't have the players to play how he wanted and couldn't adapt, and Tudor was the same as Frank.

Imo, the latter two would have had some middling success had our recruitment been poor instead of disastrous.

100% THIS. Compounded dog shit anti football recruitment with three utterly inept coaches. Then Lange with an eye on the balance sheet just refused to fix it when any fool could see how bad we were at progressing the football through the thirds. Complete cluster fuck.
 
Despite not playing well today, there has been clear signs of improvement in the mentality from match to match:

Sunderland - Deserved a draw but lost due to a fluke deflection

Brighton - Played well enough to win but threw away the win in added time

Wolves - Played well enough to win and saw the win out

I still think we go down, but at least we'll have the right person in charge to manage us. Just need to get rid of the fuckwits Vinai, Lange, and ENIC.
 
Id say bentancur AND bissouma. We aren't great but we actually look like we have a midfield now.

Glad RDZ has seen immediately that bergvall and gray are nice club signings for the future but they should not be starting midfielders in the premier League
Biss has always been one crucial player for us in breaking the press given how we used to play under Ange. It's one lethal mistake in Frank to mishandle him for so long, that even after he came back, he's still not performing without feeling the love. The trust in Biss from De Zerbi is obvious and it's paying some dividends. As long as he's steadying the middle of the park without making stupid mistakes, him and Bentancur will be our main solid anchors making a huge difference to our play.
