This sort of reaction is as annoying as the melting.

Half the board only criticise. The other half don’t allow it.

He had a fucking stinker in the second half and got out-marshalled by the opposition manager. We’re allowed to talk about it.
Our fans have no standards or expectations

Bit of attacking footy and a big cuddly father figure manager that dispenses loads of motivational quips and they are as happy as pigs in shit
 
Fans who want him gone now? Are you insane or just stupid? Bunch of fucking melts. He’s not going anywhere and how can you turn on every fucking maanager so quickly is beyond me. Udogie had a brainfart, like 3 times. Ange’s mistake not to replace him. We played good football most of this season. Be patient for once.
 
Subs should have come on earlier. I dont think he "lost" the game though, our so called leaders lost the plot and decided to start playing like under 10s. The 3 goals we copped had little to do with coaching.

If im gonna be critical, its that he should have dragged Udogie, Romero and Bentacour early...the ones that actually lost us the game. If i was in the dugout i'd have the same look he did seeing these guys clown it up.
 
excellent tactics adjustment from ange, the players sat off deeper, trying to secure the win, unlucky that 10 spurs players were beaten for the final goal inside the defensive box
 
Our overall form from last season and this is 9th. That's including that first 10 games. Take that first 10 away you're probably looking at not far off the relegation positions. Let's be honest looking back now we're lucky we played united when we did, lucky Coventry didn't take their chances and lucky qarabag and ferencvaros are fucking shit europa fodder.

Not doing anything until that late is comical and his soft we don't do dark arts and we just play our football is why we're getting the kind of meek feeble 2nd half performances like today against any half decent side. I'm going to make my peace with it from now on but going forward next year our fans getting charged what they are for what's been served up since poch is completely unacceptable.
 
It's worse than melting. It typifies the weak, piss poor, losing mentality that permeates through our club from the owners right down to the fans.
Imagine instead of focusing on the fact that our defenders rarely look like they know where they should be, you relish baiting the ones who are concerned about it.

Truly bizarre.

Tbh I stay well away from those kind of posters now.

Really thought things were clicking but absolutey schooled today from the 46th minute. Fuck knows anymore but we lose too many games, particulaly games we control for large parts. Said after Newcastle it doesnt take much to beat us, the opposition dont have to play particulaly well but a tactical tweak from them, an all too regular defensive howler or just a soft goal its all too easy. Just weak.

Just infuriating that he made the sarr and bissouma change at minute 72 when we’re now 3-2 down, instead of at minute 55 when it’s 2-1 and we’ve clearly lost the midfield and hanging on. I just do not understand his in game decisions today. Even at 3-2 we played with no urgency and didn’t try to do anything different, this is a major concern .
 
Why not just fucking start Spence?

late subs was fucking shit and Europe isn't an excuse I'm having either. Just another boring Spurs collapse. It's what this club has always done my whole life. Just when you think we might be decent, just remember this club is going to kick you in the balls.

Fuck it, whatever, doesn't really feel that rough these days, just boring.
When we’re under the pump, I’d like to see us switch to a back 3 and flood the midfield.

If Ange holds that high line, he’s not going to last the season. Fair enough, if he has his principles. But they will cost him his job.
 
Let the Melts do their thing, that was pathetic and Ange has some blame for the subs being so late.

That was the shittest our press has looked all season. No energy at all.

Maybe Europa league? That low energy second half is a trademark of being in this comp

But we actually have a deep midfield and we could've brought that energy back by replacing all 3 even with sarr, biss, Lucas/gray
And Spence on for udogie

We should be mentally strong enough to see it out at 2 up with a half to go, not completely capitulate

we did exactly this under conte against Southampton, and of course he famously blew up after .

I just don't know were this mental weakness comes from , it's a totally new team but seems to be in the fabric of the club somehow.
Tottenham's history is this unfortunately :ange-bored:

You can't play this open in the premier League particular away from home, even games we win we conceded clear chance and plenty of them every match
 
Imagine employing a pilot who knows how to take off and land but shuts down when something goes slightly against the plan.

Should have made changes at 60 minutes. Left it far too late and it cost us at least a point. Awful management today.
 
5 straight wins before this disastershow but we have played against Brentford, farmers from Azerbaijan and Hungary, a Championship team and a terrible Manchester United team that played with 10 men most of the game. So you can argue that our "great form" may be a chimera. I have no faith in Ange, that's for sure.

Oh come on, mate. You don't have to look far

"Winning is hard"

"We're playing the kind of attacking football we used to see. That's all we really want"

Who's been the one constant through 25 years and 16 different managers.

If the owners ain't focused on winning, it's inevitably gonna have a trickle down effect on the rest of the club.
