The problem is we all that 1. The league games arenā€™t as important as Europe and 2. He wonā€™t be sacked till the summer so games like last night shouldnā€™t affect us in the way that it does, but they do. We canā€™t just ā€˜not careā€™ when the team plays!

Itā€™s agony for us, even if my head tells me, it doesnā€™t matter too much though bigger picture it doesnā€™t stupid me losing my mind when we pass it to destiny in an offside position or other stupid shit like that.

Itā€™s morale too, itā€™s been sapped weā€™re in this purgatory period where we know heā€™s gone but we just have to listlessly wait it out.

The real problem is his failure to analyze the next opponent in detail and design a plan to win the next game. Ferguson was brilliant at that.

Instead we ā€œplay our footballā€ even when it is doomed against an opponent like Chelsea who have exactly what you need to defeat it. Plus every team in the league now knows what our robots will do and have a plan for it. See the effects of our suicidal playing out from the back.

We are not the David Silva or Kevin de Bruyne versions of City or the Messi/Iniesta/Xavi Barca team that didnā€™t have to care about the opponent.
 
I honestly can't fathom why he is still here now.

Game on Sunday? Quick turnaround? Don't want to destabilise the team for the weekend?

What's there left to destabilise? The whole thing is a wreck. He hates the fans, the fans hate him, the players are demoralised and looking lost every single game. The coaching is non-existent.

Said it weeks ago but we are now at the point where keeping him is active self harm to not just the club on the pitch but off it too. He has somehow made even losing to Chelsea worse for himself and the club's image than any other previous Spurs boss.

A pressure valve has to be released and that means sacking him and his coaching staff. In the meantime, just get back to basics in training make it fun even to try and lift the mood in the club, get a player/manager for all I care. The whole thing just needs a total reset.

And don't give me that waffle about giving him the Europa League. We are shite EVERY game - it's simply not changing. Time is up and that time was months ago.

Whilst I think Ange has well and truly lost the plot in terms of managing us, I do actually agree with his comments on VAR, it is a sham and it's only gonna get worse in the future.

There are issues with VAR, probably more so the people running it, but last night his comments on it were nothing more than deflection tactics mate.

Sarrā€™s goal was correctly ruled out last night. It was a good use of technology. A clear foul. Did it take too long? Absolutely, but thatā€™s user error, not an error with the technology. (And tbf they were likely checking if it was a red card at that point)

If weā€™re being honest, Chelseaā€™s goal being ruled out was a bigger farce, because that was a draw the lines and pray moment if Iā€™ve ever seen it, but Ange didnā€™t mention that surprisinglyā€¦

Levy maybe trying to prove everyone wrong by not sacking yet another manager mid season. He's had a dogs abuse for doing it too many times.
Levy may also be finally letting other deal with the football side and it's actually Munn, a bloody Aussie, refusing to give up on his "mate"
Then there's the "what's the point" element. If we were gonna sack him, doing it before the transfer window, when we were in all the cups and 6-7 points off the top 5/6
It's gone on too long now and I very much doubt anything will lead to a sacking before the last game.

Their goal shouldn't have been ruled out. It was too close to call.
Football is less exciting because of that shit.
Check it, sure. But one look at that says "too close to call, give it"
Every goal should have been treated that way since day dot of VAR.

been saying it all season, Ange is Levy's guy, his personal hand picked choice for his low wage high reward youth project with Lange.
He is giving it every possible chance to succeed, and for now that means europa league. He could make the wanker gesture to the fans sunday and claim he was just waving.
