Cool story bro
But that is not really the case, is it?
I mean we can literally look at 100% of his games as Spurs manager and his point return is still not good enough.
Plus there is the factor - more recent sample, the worse it all gets.
Meaning all his games - almost decent.
Last full season (38 games) - pretty poor.
Last half season (19 games) - shocking
last 10 games - worse than words describe.
How is that cherry picking exactly? It is linear trend of regress.
‘Lads I know we are literally going to be 16th and actively in a relegation battle where we are losing to our relegation rivals, but oh man we’ve beaten Hoffenheim and *checks notes* some team in Eastern Europe as well as TAMWORTH!!!
Oh and we have a few fantastic results in England’s 2nd domestic cup. That’s definitely enough to keep on a coach who has us 3-0 down to Everton.
Nobody is taking you seriously, these arguments aren’t serious. They’re just dumb.
Weak sauce, like gravy made from too few granules.
Finished 5th
Cherry picking.
Cherry picking again.
Same, VAR shares the blame for that one then, can't get too worked up knowing that there's a chance that 60 seconds later you'll find it's been chalked off for a small toe being in an offside position.I don't even get enjoyment when we score tbh.
When we went 1 up Vs Newcastle I barely flinched. I had a Spurs supporting Geordie sat next to and she was over the moon. She asked why I wasn't cheering. I just said "i'll wait for VAR"
Truth is a bit of that as it was close and also that going 1 up in the first few minutes means absolutely nothing.
I didn't even cheer the first 3 goals against City. Only the 4th made it feel safe
Add in the fact that there's always a high chance that Spurs will cock it up removes the excitement almost entirely.
Unprecedented injury crisis aside (def at least partly caused by our coaching and team set up / tactics btw)
It doesn't really matter when you look at what we are doing on the pitch in every single game. The MOTD analysis laid it out very well at the weekend imo - Bentancur is covering 50 yards of space ON HIS OWN and was the cause of both goals alongside Porro being too far up the pitch and completely shot (again from tactics and being overplayed)
You could see a team who have lost 7 games on the spin and are pure shite just moved Bent from one side to the other like a boxer cornering someone in the ring them bang - straight in on goal when they wanted.
Just unbelievable to watch this happening from the sidelines and not change something but as we all know only too well he just doesn't do that game management and tactical tweak bollocks does he.
I like many others on here have been banging the same drum for over a year - you CANNOT play with one 6 (we don't have a proper 6 in our ranks!) and two FBS up the pitch in ANY game in this division - Leicester and others have shown us that. I find it absolutely insane that we are still playing this way especially with all our injuries, its just plain fucking stupid frankly and its the reason I have changed to get him out now rather than see out the season with him and let him have a go at the cups.
Make no mistake about it - we could be relegated if hes still here for another month and even with Romero and VDV prob rushed back again at Anfield we have another 8 players missing and zero chance of winning that game.
Villa I think we actually have a very slim chance because they give away a lot of chances and have played a lot of football too but regardless - priority is now getting 15 points in the league asap and with the fixtures we have left thats a scary proposition.
(I also don't wanna hear 32 points should keep us up - we need to be WELL fucking clear by the last few games considering the lack of guts we display on the pitch for the most part)

The only reason I can see levy wanting is to go down is to torpedo any investment and drive down the value of the club so that he can afford to buy it off Lewis himself. I suspect it’s harder to raise £4bn than it is £2bn.
There is literally zero point ‘debating’ with people who have outright said they stand by the coach till the end no matter what.
It is an ideology to them. A cult of personality, they won’t change their mind as they’ve decided no matter what they’re behind their God. All the way to relegation if necessary.
Fans of a person now, not a club.

It is not.
If you don't understand how statistics or trends work, it is 100% on you.
Wouldn't really take pride in stupidity.
Point I was making - these exact numbers are half arbitrary, whatever number you choose, more recent results are significantly poorer than less recent results.
Does not matter how many times you close your eyes and scream "I cant see! I cant hear!"
Sadistic if he does that.

We are about to be 16th and just lost to Leicester at home. Deservedly. They looked the better team.
Anyone who still thinks Ange is the answer is trolling or needs help. There is no point using logic on either group of people.

New signing Ange has been asking for. Complete parasites
Honestly I don't even think a prime Kante could marshall that 6 position in this 'system' on his own - its an absolute defensive nightmare to watch. And even if it did work we would need TWO of those world class 6 players because one would always have a hamstring injury no doubt.
If you dont trust your eyes which show an uncoached rabble then just look at pretty much every stat be it ppg, home form, away wins, number of defeats, clean sheets, chances given up. Every one you're having to go back 30 to 50 years to see anything as bad. There is no argument to be had anymore, no positives to take. Just whether this is as bad as Gross in 98 or our relegation year in 77.

Brother I did an MSc that needed a thesis written on statistical significance, correlations, and trends. P values and all that jazz. I still don’t claim to “ understand how statistics or trends work”.
If you do, I’m happy for you. I haven’t seen any evidence of that understanding in your posts but then again, there’s none in mine either because niether of us have actually gone that deep into the data because we are chatting shit on a fan forum.
Not denied recent results have been enough to get him sacked in any of my posts. All I said is that I wouldn’t for my own reasons outside those recent results.
Aaaah Bisto!
Shit bisto in this case
You mean OXO?
