So from what i read the general conensus is his job is untenable at the end of this season even if we win a cup and qualify for CL.

But on the other hand we're tired of finishing top 4 and having nothing to show for it every year.

To me it's clear.... the manager needs squad backing. You can't compete in a demanding league with 3 cup competitions and injuries with nobody of calibre to support.

Postecoglou is just the scape goat now for them to reset and give everyone false hope, there will never be real success and every manager will struggle.

He is not good enough even to be classified as a scape goat.

He is just dumb donkey.
 
Reading Roy Keane’s comments about the Man U players coming out in interviews after defeats giving soundbytes makes them sound like dishonest players (saying learned from mistakes, hurting after defeat) made me instantly think of us. Ours are the same. They give these interviews but does them losing really hurt them that much?

Anyone else expecting a Charge Of The Light Brigade outcome on Thursday?

I think this team is dead on its feet, some, who's confidence is on the floor, some who clearly have no belief anymore, some are just physically done. Losing as much as they have is exhausting, even more so without proper leadership.

Only thing that is guaranteed to be like a charge of the light brigade is another fuck up from management and the people in charge

3 years of utter shit football is not worth one europa league. football is about winning, but its also about being excited by progress. no one is looking forward to match days, thats not what its about. ill be celebrating this cunts departure more than i would a europa league win, hes killed the love of it.

17 league defeats (and counting) in one year....a europa league win doesnt make that ok.

also WTF is even going on?? if by some miracle we do win the europa its in spite of this clown not because of him!!!!!!!

Nah I’d take the win of the cup. He’d be sacked by November anyway because we’d be bottom of the league. His replacement would bring some wins and the season turn out fine. But it’s not going to happen because there’s no way this side can win the Europa league under him.

The worst part of having this fraud as a manger is that if somehow we fluke a cup win, the smug c**t will be arrogant beyond belief, whilst presiding over the worst Tottenham team I’ve seen in all my years supporting the club.

A small part of me want us to bomb out of the cup just to finish this guy off and start a fresh next year. Can’t deal with much more of his deflecting and refusing to take any blame for the horrific job he has done

"Just look at the way he's lifting the trophy, what an arrogant tosser"

"First trophy in over a decade, just who does the smug cunt think he is"

Was he trying to deflect by saying that those mistakes today were unusual?

Fuck me half of our goals come from self inflicted issues. Always punching the ball into danger, always heading it out back into dangerous areas, throw ins sloppily taken that give the other team a gift of possession they maximise on, a lack of tracking back with a walk or a jog, a poor touch that let's them in. It's astonishing how often this lot do it to themselves.

He must see it. Does he? Is he just saying that to whimper out the back door and not take any more heat.

3 full days until the biggest European game our team has had since the CL. This cup is so winnable its sad really that out lot have no spine. I think this is my least favourite Tottenham team I've ever supported on my 41 years on this planet. Shame on everyone at the club from top to bottom for making me and I'm certain most others feel that way.
He should be moved on before Thursday. I don't care if we win that game or the whole thing abs hindsight comes back to bite me in the arse, someone else should have a crack at it even if it's an interim boss.


Our club is in a lot of trouble. We are nowhere near competing on any serious front. Top 8 next year a huge achievement for whoever inherits this mess. Just wow

We see so many managers and ex players say that the PL is all about fine margins and games won on those small percentages. If managers and coaches don’t focus on the basics and the small details like these then teams aren’t going to do well. They’re a badly managed and coached group of players. It was obvious a year ago with all the defending set piece nonsense costing us goals every week and it’s continued to fester month after month. It’s either idiocy, laziness or both.
 
Individual errors are mostly driven by general issues caused by this fraud and his staff.

Once again nobody to grab punched ball around 16 meter after set piece.

Once again nobody to prevent cross, and nobody to track runners into penalty box. Central defenders caught out of position and nowhere near the ball or opponents.

Once again central midfielder caught in the middle of the pitch with almost no safe option to pass.

Romero fuckup - yeah that was on him. But other goals? I have seen before large part of the pieces that led to them.

If you don’t concede goals, you don’t lose matches. That’s the starting point for any successful team.

When we set up constantly leaving us outnumbered on the counter (like multiple times yesterday and across the season) then you are giving up gift-wrapped chances.

And then Ange says it’s individual mistakes. Yes, they made mistakes but the system exposes them. Constantly. Throw in a lack of belief and effort and it’s no wonder we are in for 20+ losses.

When it’s fine margins, you don’t make it easy for your opponent. Yet this fucking bluffer still hasn’t worked that out.

There is clearly something going on at the club that is far bigger than we have been told.

We have had some insights, with Romero calling out the medical team, and we now are told somebody leaking lineups and tactics.

I suspect there is a lot more going on behind the scenes this season and this summer I'm pretty sure we will get some bombshell news. Looks like some sort of sabotage.

This little skit you do ceased being funny a while back.

Just stop.
 
I would have cut him a bit of slack if and I know it's a big if but we had drawn a lot of games so at least not accumulate the horrendous tally of losses even if we were mid table .No team can expect to achieve anything losing so easily as us .
