Manager Ange Postecoglou

[Incomplete_usernam]

Ange is one of those blokes who says the next vacation will be Dubai, 5 star hotels and Beluga caviar and tells you "things will get better, just watch" then you end up at a B&B in Skeggy with burnt toast and a poorly made poached egg.

Sure, you can still have fun at Skeggy and make the most of it, even occasionally you may think this is pretty good but it's never going to be as good as having your wife banned from driving for two weeks while you eat fish eggs.

We did fluff them but that’s very different to the tired nothing performances of last year. We weren’t creating chances then.

I think we did against the bottom teams.

 

[Samisspurs]

he was the best forward out of the 3 that started

Tells you how bad things are. Not blaming him personally.

Early days of course.

you think he was poor last night? i thought he looked decent. its hard for a striker to look world class when hes got son to his left and johnson to his right.

give solanke better service from wide areas and hell thrive. need dogs out wide who stick it on the fullbacks and suffocate them, and i mean actually put it on them and want to win the ball. not just close the distance then stand off a couple yards. cheisa would of been a good fit for this style of football.

The Villa game is the outlier in our run in. And yes, you could argue it was naive of Villa to try and attack us. They didn't attempt to defend against Angeball at all.

It was 2-0 when McGinn got sent off. We scored twice in injury time. That game was the very example of it all clicking and working in favourable circumstances. It helped that Werner had a good game.

you seem to be laughing hysterically with every reply....are you well dude?

He should have scored at least once. Had the same vibe with Richarlison. decent but nothing special. Our attack needs special.

 

[Mince Charming]

Surprised he didn't blame the fans...

Click to shrink...

tbf, there were probably a handful cheering for Leicester to win just so they'd gain confidence for when they play Woolwich

 

[McCOYS]

I'm starting to think I'd prefer Richarlison on the left instead of Son.

I know it's not going to be jaw droppingly amazing but I believe that's where we are.

 

[nasm_f]

Just wrong.

Leicester had been preparing to defend us for weeks and still couldn’t get near us for an hour. We didn’t punish them and we paid for it. That’s football.

Nothing more nothing less.

Have we not been preparing to face them for weeks and still couldn't muster up more than 1 goal nor a clean sheet?

No. I support Tottenham and have endured the ENIC era. And I watched most of the 1990s too. That was fun.

It's also the summer holidays and there are kids all over the place in my home.

Losing to the "good" teams in the run in killed our chances of the top 4 though, which was in our hands once we spanked TEN MAN Villa.

I can never tell if you are taking the piss or not.

We were 2 goals up and well on top of Villa before they went down to 10 men iirc.

Not the same point though is it?

Our system and game plan didn’t fail, the final execution of a finish let us down.

he looks a far better footballer in general play than richy to me. i thought he only really had one decentish chance and the keeper made a save. that chance came from good midfield link up and coming through the middle. did he have any service from his wide forwards?

 

[Crowny]

What’s worse is that there are Spurs fans who would rather that.

Click to shrink...

But there aren’t are there. There isn’t one sane Spurs fan who wants Southgate.

i hear you but its going to be a long old season with europa as well. I can promise you were going to have much better performances/results than last night against some top teams and mid teams, as well as some shocking performances that make you wanna smoke

but this is what we've chosen, it's the same under ever coach and will be the same when we are ready to sake off this mortal coil. spurs conceding a stupid goal and dropping points will probably be one of our final memories

Eh?

By that logic could Leicester not say the exact same?

In fact given the fact they're a newly promoted team isn't it a clear victory for their game plan to get a point and to create the best chance at 1-1 and an indictment of ours?

Yes, we were and scored twice in injury time which put some glitter on the scoreline. But that is the only time in 2024 that we've looked remotely dominant, outside of the Sheffield United game on the last day of the season. Hence, outlier. It's the anomaly result.

I mostly alright about things. I have come to terms that it's 4th and cup cups, and knockouts of Europa.

They can take a victory from the result for sure and they fought really hard for it.

But if they want to be honest about it, they gave up 7 good chances and probably should have got punished. They weren’t punished and were clinical with their chance to earn themselves a point. Fair play to them for that.

You reckon City, Liverpool, Arse or United would have him as a marquee signing? What will be the excuse when we soon have as much money as a couple of them.
