I am saying there is no belief at the moment. I chat to a father and son who come up from Kent who sit near me. They don’t know at the moment why they bother to travel to games.

It’s a game of two halves
It’s the only way to get there
These players have played back to back since November, they're physically fucked you can see it.
Ange apologists are using this as a means of defence for him at the moment but I see it as even more damning, there's not even the excuse that the players aren't buying into the way they're being asked to play which was something we heard a lot about Conte in his 2nd season; Ange is just woefully out of depth and tactically mismatched against the greater minds of this league, and even some of the lesser ones as well..
So if we lose our next 10 and sit in the bottom three you'd want him to continue?
Agreed. But last season we had a lot of injuries and had no european football and knocked out of carabao cup early. Tbh silva found him out when we got dicked 3 nil at the cottage.
Thass crazy bro, if only the other teams would play as much. Oh wait…
Yeah this is bait.
Eh - we were shit before the injuries stacked up. I find that to be a weak excuse. Ange has been terrible for 13 calendar months on the trot - this isn't a recent happening.
Anyway, like I said, poll results like those we're discussing indicate to me that he'll keep his job so long as we're in the EL at least. So I'm done wasting energy, on the manager topic and, likely, Spurs. Because we're just getting more of the same until the fraud is sacked.
League campaign is more or less settled no matter who finishes the season.
CL is a pipedream, while relegation battle is not a realistic threat unless all of the teams below start picking up huge amounts of points out of nowhere. Difference between finishing 7th versus 13th indeed matters to a certain degree but, with how congested the table still is, I wouldn't blame them for hoping that team will start climbing the ladders by going on a run at some point, regardless of the manager.
In a sense he's fortunate with how those 2 LC matches are scheduled. The first leg is around the corner, so the chances of him getting that match is really high regardless of the terrible spell we're in right now. And if he indeed gets a favourable result, he will probably get that one month period until the second leg as well.
If we go on a run of some sort in between these two matches, even if due to sheer regression to the mean without anything specific Ange does, he'll suddenly find himself challenging for a EL spot while also possibly progressing on 3 cups. He'll be quite safe then.
If that first leg goes horribly wrong, and/or EL campaign flops, then he most likely won't finish the season. I don't like his chances, but he still has a glimmer of hope.

That's as silly as me asking you...... So if we win our next 10 and sit in the top 4 will you quit demanding he is sacked?
You seen our form over the last 10?
Far more plausible than you think
I have seen nothing in our EL campaign to say we are anywhere near winning it
The players are buying into it, they just aren't good enough to execute it
May as well if we truly our a youth project. However I don’t think we are. We are never gonna give players like Devine, donley, dorrington or any of the others a chance. Moore may get a chance as there has been so much publicity about him. We also have Phillips to come back plus the croation. That is 3 young CBs plus what we have already and potentially any incomings. What chance will the younger ones get?
This guy is nearly 60.
Been a manager for 25 years yet don’t see any experience or knowledge he brings to the job. Surely he must have played without a some players in his time.
Apart from the first 10 games last season it’s been a shit show
Still hypothetical and very unrealistic
