As flippant as your post reads, it's truer than anything posted in here today.

I thought the very same thing.

No player wanted the ball, no cohesive patterns of play, no tackling ion midfield, and piss poor interplay in attack.

Indeed it was just like a Sunday league team game aside from our players were still hungover.
Defoe hit the nail on the head . " When you have no structure , you just run around a lot "

There you have it
 
Until we get Solanke back I don’t see an uptick , we need a central player that can press and hold up the ball to take the pressure away from the back 4 . Solanke with tel could be a decent combo . Have son and Johnson on the bench to come on and suddenly we’ve got some options .

And I’ve seen the odd post here and there about players being rash.

Whilst I do think some are not good enough, part of it is down to poor tactics.

They get exposed so often and any counter leaves us exposed so I can see why there are so many shit tackles and challenges given.

Too many last ditch, try anything to show me this team has not been coached properly; if at all.
 
I really am starting to think all these injuries are basically players not wanting to play for Ange (apart from Dragusin), no way Madders, VdV, Romero and others would still be out with the injuries reported
That’s an interesting thought, and it’s the first time I’ve heard it. I would hope that if that was the case, Levy and the board would act. But then I think back to Maddison not playing and going to darts.

I don’t know, but you would think if players are sitting out on purpose because they don’t want to play that word would get around and something would be done?
 
I tell you if nothing else its been a real eye opener on the cult of personality. Have a ton of confidence, be all jocular and matey, talk a great game and some people will follow you to the ends of the earth even when all the evidence points to an obvious con job. Scary.
Being an Aussie blinds Brits to his bulshit. A nation that massively overachieves in sport, esp in Anglo sports like cricket and both rugby codes, must know what he's talking about right? Wrong. He's a fraud. If he had cauliflower ears, a red face and a broad Northern accent he'd have lasted one season tops.
 
He’s hideous.

He’s adopted this corporate abstract language that pretends to take responsibility whilst also not taking any responsibility.

I think part of the reason I dislike him so much is he reminds me of the absolute wankers that infest senior management at my work.
what floors me is how little direct criticism you see of him from the media. i actually got into over email today with rob smyth who did the mbm of the match for again just pointing out the number of injuries rather that the complete lack of structure and tactics we've seen for months. if ange was european or god forbid american he'd be crucified by now but because he's old, fat and says mate a lot he gets a complete pass. he'll be the worst manager in spurs history and everyone will act like they knew it all along. it's a joke and i've lost as much respect for the football media as i have for levy and the board.
 
Bergvall was isolated in middle. Surely you put an experienced player next to him to protect him. Why the fuck we dont play a diamond midfield either. One to protect defence and other to feed top 3. Playing Porro on right every week is suicidal. Everyone knows that's our weak link. Hes a good footballer porro but diabolical defender. Why arent we being compact in defence if were leaking goals. Dont like any person losing job but ange is not right man. Still have europa but ange wont win it.
I don't think Porro is the problem. I think what Porro does, which is what he's told to do is.
Having both your FBs playing as wannabe 10s and wondering why the majority of goals come from the empty space where they should be is mental.

I wouldn't allow Ange to be here and let any of this team leave in the summer. We need a look at a lot of these guys under a qualified football manager.
 
Did anyone hear him in his post match prezzer say "we had to open up a bit in the 2nd half"


Open up?


Does he think we were tight in the first half?
