Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Sky Sports News digging him out a bit. Showing days lost this season from injuries up to end of January.

PL Average = 557 Days.

Woolwich = 648 Days
Palace = 652 Days
Ipswich =667 Days
Spurs = 783 Days
Brighton = 1020 Days.

Presenter saying Brighton have lost considerably more than Spurs, are higher up the table and implying they’re bleating less than Ange. Saying Ange stated “Nobody else could cope” but Brighton have haven’t they?

Maybe they’re getting fed up with him now as well.
Saw that but they didn't mention whether the injuries were for regular first teamers. Brighton have had some long term injuries but don't think many are first choice. Solly march been out for the season and their CB got injured recently. Milner too been out for most the season but not sure if he would be starting if fit. A bit different to having 4/5 of your back line out for most the season and a lot of their backups too
 
We'll know more what's going on by tomorrow evening.. Tottenham's sackings are pretty much always at least a couple days after the managers last game. They like to pretend that they don't make decisions without careful consideration

No tweets today so far is pretty unusual. Even after a defeat they’ve usually put some bollocks out by now. Probably as I type this they’ve announced an official taramasalata partner or some such bullshit.
 
But what about who was out injured? If we lost both reguilon, Whitman and Forster for a whole season it would push those numbers up, but has zero baring on the team we are to put out.

Better stat would be to compare teams who haven’t been without regulars in the starting 11. Say Woolwich without raya, saliba and Gabriel. Or Newcastle without guimariues, isak and Gordon.

Fact is, we’ve played the bulk of a season (with a game every few days) in 4 competitions without the core of the team
Think detailed analysis with appropriate weightings applied would be too sophisticated for Sky Sports. They just go for headline figures, and maybe to piss Ange off a bit.

Yeah, just reporting what Sky Sports were saying. But as said to another poster, think detailed analysis with appropriate weightings applied would be too sophisticated for Sky Sports. They just go for headline figures, and maybe to piss Ange off a bit.
 
I don’t really care if he stays and we start playing better and winning or goes and we start playing better or winning. I just want us to play better and win. Clearly too much to ask.

(FWIW: I think we will play better and win a few if all the injuries miraculously heal - however, Ange doesn’t seem to be the man for this job).

Of course it's disingenuous nonsense. But chum is in the water and sharks are circling. Can't dig Liverpool out the way he did and get away with it on Sky.

Especially when youre still dangerously close to a relegation battle and coughing up ridiculous goals like we did yesterday.

Sensing another Conte like meltdown - hope he goes two footed in on Slot when the dam breaks :D
 
Knowing us ; there will be a massive upturn in our form ; we’ll cruise into the Europa League Final ; and Daniel from Accounts fires him five days before the game for no apparent reason.

Nothing would surprise me anymore.

VdV, Romero, and Solanke returning will win us some more points, but it will not remedy the issues inherent in his system and approach.

Daniel is being cheap, but once again he is discounting the value of time. Any more time spent "educating" these players in his tactics is a complete waste. It's shameful that this even needs to be pointed out.

Tbh it's not difficult to dig him out. Losing 3 straight NLD, three in a row to chelsea. That's unacceptable to begin with. 5 losses in a row towards end of last season was a red flag. He got found out by Marco Silva last March away to fulham. Exposed our full backs. Hes making some mediocre managers look good. Had to beat tamworth after extra time. His tactics dont work unless he has full strength team which shows he dont have flexibility.

They aren't even guaranteed to work if we do have a full strength side. Liverpool, Chelsea and Woolwich can attest to that.
