that point really makes me wanna smoke, and i dont smoke. It's such an easy tweak to stop that from happening, the number 6 doesn't need to push on also if your inverted full backs are pushed up, whether wide or inside.
Bentancur just needs to sit in-between VDV and Romero.
If there's a transition moment then it's effectively a back 3 which is gonna have an easier job holding up the attack until one of the full backs drop back in to make it a 4.

It somewhat worked at the start of last season due to VDV but this season with him missing most of the games it's a fruitless exercise

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.

It's been said before that there is no pressure on the players or coach to achieve anything but top 4. Financially, there seems to be no incentive to win anything beyond that.

The players and staff will have signed NDAs - but I suspect once the season ends, we will hear a whole lot more about what's going on behind the scenes.

Hostile takeover? Coup against Levy? Is this a 'staged' collapse to force Levy out of the club?

We know that the club has been actively looking to seek external funding. With potentially billions at stake, it's not outside the realms of possibility that external parties are sabotaging the club to drive down the value.

Mate, you've been as find out as your idol's tactics in EPL.

We are absolutely pathetic shit on the field. Have been for way more than a year. One player does not know what the other is doing.
Yet you cannot admit that and are looking for "something far bigger going on behind the scenes" and all the wild theories.

When in reality we have been unmanaged team for so long, it is all falling apart because there is no one left that could even accept the idealess professional loser at helm. Never mind word respect. This has been very long gone. I am ashamed of such person ever have had anything to do with my beloved club honestly. Arrogant, immature beyond belief, extremely sensitive/thin skin, absolutely no ability. All talk and no ability.

Former Tottenham striker urges Daniel Levy to keep Ange Postecoglou

Louis Saha reveals why he thinks Tottenham Hotspur should stick with Ange Postecoglou instead of swapping managers again.

Lol, another troll from an ex-player who acts like he has the best interest of our club.

Fun fact!

My mate used to live in the same apartment block in Manchester as Saha. He used to come home pissed in the early hours almost every night and his girlfriend would always scream at him for wiping his bum with towels and leaving them on the towel rail.

I only saw it this morning, the way the described it on the radio when I was listening was as the ball went under his foot and the attacked nicked in and scored. He was beaten by a faster, more committed attacker. It wasn't a brainfart IMO, it was just a player who couldn't even be arsed.

Frankly I'll be astonished if we can muster any kind of coherent display in Thursday......just can't see it happening.

Winning is habitual and you can't just play awful week in week out and then target a specific match to play well in......just doesn't work like that.

The problem is, the idiot in the high castle doesn't understand football, even to this basic level. He's been totally conned into thinking this man has some sort of masterplan to win the ropey league despite losing to Leicester, Ipswich, Wolves, Everton, and the more mid table clubs like Brighton, Bournemouth, Palace and Fulham.
How any one with half a brain can think losing to those teams is ok because we're gonna beat better teams in the ropey league is beyond me. I'm sure Levy, at this stage, has breached so many of the legal responsibilities of a company chairman.

Just another idiot with the intelligence of a goldfish spouting the usual cliche bollocks about time.
I would like to think this Ange experiment has proven beyond all doubt that time does more harm than good.

Its a social experiment at this stage. 17 league defeats followed by Ange talking to his shoes every time.

What is really annoying is that we've blown an easy opportunity at winning a European cup. Under any sort of competent manager who just refuses to give up soft goals, we'd be the best team in that tournament by a mile. But no, we give up stupid goals every game and need to score at least 3 to have any chance of winning under Ange.

You should be in the documentary they'll make in the future about escaping the cult.
They won't be able to interview the others who didn't get out as they'll have all drunk the coolaide.

don't know about that, it's not the conference cup or whatever it's called. Its a really difficult trophy for English clubs to win .
we've had better squads and managers and failed to make a real dent in this comp

I've been through all the emotions to be honest. Since the beginning of the aussie frauds rein, i've gone from cautiously optimistic, happy, confused, worried and depressed and that was just last season.

This season has been mainly wild amusement, worry, sadness, real fucking anger and now probably the worst one of all, apathy.

I just don't really seem to care about this shitshow anymore. I find myself looking at my phone whilst the match is on, just waiting for the inevitable loss instead of actually watching the game. I've never done that in my life before 😥.

Different this year without the CL teams dropping in. Frankfurt (who we should have beaten last week) are arguably the best side in it. We'd be strong favs in the semis against that Norway team. Final would be 50/50 if we got there
 
Brian Fantana said:
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.
