I was nodding to every word you said until you mentioned Romero. He wouldve been sent off and made it worse for us

Thats entirely possible.
Or he'd have been a goal threat which he's been proven to be over all the year he's been with us and what the OP was calling for. I like Big Kev but a goal threat he ain't.
At least 50% of this squad needs to be binned off this summer, back to back 17th...at best!
Yeah if anything the last 5 games have shown us how little we'd miss Romero if he left tbh. Our defensive numbers have been absolutely fine and Danso, an unspectacular but solid CB, looks comfortable and calm in there.
Obviously he's got the occasional line splitting pass in his locker and puts in a world class performance every now and then, but I feel much calmer knowing we don't have a ticking time bomb as captain. An away game against Chelsea is exactly the type of fixture where he's liable to do something dumb and screw the team over in a crucial moment.
Sell him and bring in Vuskovic next year.
This is going to be unpopular and I appreciate he is working with bang average players but I’ve been disgusted with our last 2 performances , manager has to squeeze that extra 10% out , we’re fighting for our lives and I’m just not seeing that I’m afraid . Chelsea handed us a point on a plate last night and we didn’t show anywhere near enough urgency to take it , a pot shot and a player free in the 6 yard box that couldn’t miss , that’s the extent of them troubling us , even in the last 5 minutes they took off their better players and said - “ go on , get your goal “ and our final 3rd play consisted of passing backwards , this is not what I thought a de zerbi team was . That was the effort after 9!days off , heaven forbid what it will look like on Sunday .
People actually going for De Zerbi is just ridiculous our performances since he has been here have improved in every aspect, we unfortunately have a huge mistake in us every game.
Richarlison and Muani cost us yesterday, like most of this season they are absolutely diabolical, the pair off them.

Is that what he said?
ITS THE PLAYERS
Really? Ange came in to a team who had just finished top half and Frank came in to a team who had just won Europa.
RDZ has come to a team who didn’t win in 4 months after the worst window I can remember that gave us a net of minus 4 attackers (BJ, Kudus, Odobert, Scarlett). He loses Vicario, Romero and Udogie before he even gets past one game. And he has got us top half in current form despite that shit show.
He isn’t the concern. What we have available is and that is all down to the imbeciles at the top
They mentioned the penalty no penalty and he said he didn't want to get into it.
Were people actually watching the game? There were snippets of passing patterns that we could never see under Frank the cunt and poor Tudor. It's the quality and low confidence of the players at play here we don't see much 'throwing the kitchen sink' kind of effort.
And honestly we also have to be balanced with not conceding any further goals if we play too open while attacking, which could really stab into our hearts deeper with a worse GD and more morale/confidence hurt.

I dont think he necessarily wants to give the players an excuse. I am sure he is boiling up inside, but the woe is me attitude is not what we need. We just need the players to go for it on Sunday.
Subs way to late again
Hmm not sure about this
It's not just the players, the weak mentality permeates the whole club. Until that changes nothing will. Simply swapping out different players or the manager is like rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.
I do like De Zerbi but as with any manager he'll need to be given significant time and investment before we see much improvement, but just like every Spurs manager before him he'll get neither.
To be clear, I'm not criticizing DeZerbi. The fact we're still within one point of staying up, given where we were a month ago, is astonishing, and is clearly primarily down to him. He's exceeded expectations, no doubt.
My point was that Frank and Postecoglou are largely derided as terrible managers on here, yet they both had pretty strong starts too. Maybe, just maybe, the problem isn't the manager?
