There's not much in it, is there!
Nah, we'll comfortably win it. And that's as much of a problem as losing it. It will galvanize the Angebois. Especially if it's a cricket score.
Just look at the number of games where we’ve conceded first and won.
I can’t remember the game but he’s made multiple game changing subs this season and last season.
The Pape Sarr false 9 vs City… Even the Liverpool debacle we adjusted to press much less because of our physical condition.
we’ve been through this on the forum before and people that know football better than me have pointed out the tweaks and adjustments. End of the day, there are narratives and there are results.
When the results are bad, the narratives get more persuasive. If the results improve the narratives go away.
If you ignore the troll you take away his ability to troll.
I actually love what he’s trying to do by saying “we are Tottenham fucking Hotspur and we will impose our game upon you, not the other way round”. It’s potentially glorious.
But, he’s trying it with a limited squad. With little or no apparent leadership. Which seems to be mentally fragile. Playing too many games. Knackered to fuck. Lots of injuries.
We either accept we need to add a few quality, experienced players immediately, or accept this hasn’t worked.

Everyone should ignore you then you utter waste of life.
There is no structure to our long ball and it is always second to playing it short. Watch the Eriksen goal from our game against Man Utd in 2018. That is the equivalent of a training ground set piece. Long balls need to be practiced and have structure. If you win the header someone needs to be running onto the ball.
There's also the optimistic possibility that they are holding off on making any on field changes because there for once actually are negotiations regarding a change in the ownership (what with Stavely hanging about). And they don't want to make any changes until the new part owners are installed because they probably want a say in it.
Optimistic? yes. Naive? Most likely also yes.
what on earth are you going on about?
He’s made plenty of half time tweaks that changed games in our favour
I asked you to name them if theyre "plenty of half time tweaks that CHANGED games and youve managed to name:
Sarr starting in a position further upfield...that's not changing tactics at half time is it.
and you also named a game where we got battered and lost. How the fuck is that changing games in our favour.
"I can't remember the games"
of course you fucking can't remember because you're talking out your arse. You make these weird definite statements knowing full well it's absolute crap.
Fully agree.
We either need to actually BE Tottenham fucking Hotspur and hotspur and build a squad capable of doing it consistently.
Or we need to accept that beingTottenham Fucking Hotspur in Europe and Cups isn’t compatible with the budget so we need to sack of everything except finishing as close to 4th as possible or play a counter-attacking shithouse style and ride our luck on moments.
Problem is, we saw with Nuno, Jose and Conte that the fans don’t want to watch defensive shithousing and the club also don’t want to pay the wages of disciplined, tactically astute veteran players who can do it.
Whatever mate, there’s no point me going through the games to refresh my memory because you don’t want to know.
We have both problems. Tactical and physical. And on the latter Ange appears far too blind to the limitations his captain and a couple of other players. And the
The physical in part is likely connected to a loss of confidence as the results have gone south.
our long balls are national league standard
They do if they are part of your system. If your system is playing it out, they are an extra that you build in later when you have the system locked in.
Problem we have currently is the squad has players who can’t play to the system when others are out.
Dragusin was an odd signing tbh. I really like him and I can see that he fits certain games but he needs to develop so much with the ball if we need him to play a lot of games.
I do want to know..I asked because I wanted to know and you couldn't answer your wild claim so now you're saying you're not going to bother refreshing your memory because I don't want to know.
Make it make sense please.
Poch is one of, if not the best player developer that I have seen in modern football.
I still stand by the opinion that one of the factors in his tenure starting to falter was that he stopped wanting to develop players and wanted to buy more and more established ready made stars.
I'm not saying that we shouldn't have gotten him some ready made guys. But he should have kept developing prospects as well.
More than welcome
Ok, I’ll go thru old results and refresh the specifics.
They aren’t wild claims.
I’ll post on here later
Why is the option either all out attack or all out defence? Surely theres an inbetween no?
Because niether of them are all out 100% of the times but those are the narratives fans and pundits will end up discussing
Its not a narrative though. Its all out attack. Our defence is not coached you can see it. Absolute panic 90% of the time when we are under pressure. Its like u-12s chasing the ball
