Yeah. We won't getting attacking football with Houton.Love the guy but Forest mate of mine said he was awful manager. He played ultra-defensive, conservative football and had an terrible record there
said years ago we lack alpha males in the squad. its actually comical that lloris is the captain, fucking ronald mcdonald himself. when you got a clown like that in goal and in front of him donkey dier the oaf, of course you're going to be a shambles at the back. the keeper should be commanding and strong, the CB should be the same. the pair of them are way out of their depth at spurs. get these two muppets away from the team and we will be so much stronger for it.Won't be a popular post but the last line is true.
All or Nothing showed it as clear as day. Silence after defeats. No one calling out the likes of Dele or Ndombele for the cunts they were.
You have a comfortable core of introverts (Kane, Lloris, Dier, Davies, Doherty) who have been part of our glorious failure for the best part of a decade.
We need a massive shake up from top to bottom.
We don't know shit about that, so to say "he must" is pretty strange. What do you really know about Levy's level of control since Paratici started?I would think so. He must v frustrated with the situation and level of control Lecy exerts
No, I don't think so. He will be happy to get rid of Conte.
Personally I hope not, I think the only way a Poch return works is with Paratici staying - I'm also convinced it will be Poch as others have said.
Sarr, Gil & Spence would have had half a season of PL Football under their belt by now so could work too.
Put him ( cunte )on gardening leave for the last 4 months of his contract..... done with a minimal cost .
I have the same concern. And here I was hoping for the club to set a vision. And Paratici to have signed off on that vision. But I'm doubting this now.Paratici seems good at players, getting good deals for Kulusevski so I can see why Levy brought him in.
What worries me is this guy wanted Nuno and Gattuso. His football vision concerns me a lot. He seems an elite wheeler dealer but like Levy I am not 100% on his vision if he even has one. Would love a takeover and someone like Rangnick or Campos stuck in DoF.
Sounds perfectLove the guy but Forest mate of mine said he was awful manager. He played ultra-defensive, conservative football and had an terrible record there
Quite how Arteta has instilled such belief and strength in mind at Woolwich is beyond me. Pretty football only takes you so far. It needs a real resolute set of qualities, which they embarrassingly possess and we don't.
Not sure what anyone expects with a midfield of Doherty, Hojberg, Sarr and Sessegnon? with Donkey Dier at the back? You can all talk about tactics and formations all you like but it is and always has been about the players.
Whatever formation we play we still need to field at least one of Royal, Doherty, Davies, Sanchez, Dier, Tanganga, or Sessegnon. This lot wouldnt look out of place in the Championship and certainly no top half PL club would want them.
Yesterday we had 3 of these losers playing. Now you might be able to get away with 1 in certain games maybe 2. But not 3 against a team who are top of the league.
So yeah blame yet another manager all you like but the real issue is that Levy has not invested on the right players at the right time, has not sold our dross at the right times and has allowed our squad to deteriorate. Its all on the owners!!!
I think it's too easy to blame Levy. First of all, what's Paratici's role? Isn't he responsible for the players brought in since he arrived, and Conte? Shouldn't he do better with the players he got? It's not like he hasn't been backed since he arrived, and I'm sure the he has been involved in most signings. It's too easy and lazy to blame everything on Levy.So yeah blame yet another manager all you like but the real issue is that Levy has not invested on the right players at the right time, has not sold our dross at the right times and has allowed our squad to deteriorate.

Again like you, I’m not hating, but I don’t see it either. I’ll never forget when he did a speech before a game in the All or Nothing documentary and it seemed fairly tame.
I also thought it was quite telling during the World Cup seeing the England players looking to Jordan Henderson more than Harry
Potter is more charismatic than Kane. But in more of "oh yay! It's uncle Graham" way. His psychology degree probably helps as well. When he was a manager in Sweden he controlled a pretty rowdy dressing room which started collapsing the moment he left.I agree. Harry hasn’t got the personality or charisma to be a true leader. Can anyone honestly see Harry being really vocal in the dressing room before and after a game? That’s just not him. He’s a quiet lad always has been. It’s a bit like the Potter situation. Far too timid and lacking personality to be a manager at an elite club.
