Match AZ v Spurs 6 March 17:45

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

The thing about Ange was that we were led to believe everything was about tempo, about pressing, about taking risks and so on.

Yet we had eight days to prepare for this, something we’ve not had for most of the season and something Ange has consistently bemoaned about at every sodding presser. But all we’ve seen tonight, for the main part, is no aggression, no urgency, no pressure, no real tempo and safe passing with little, if any, risk taking. In fact, the only risks taken were defensively where but for Vic we would have conceded a couple more.

I just really struggle to understand how the fuck he believes he can be successful at this level with this nonsense.
Spot on , I genuinely believed that we would come out tonight all guns blazing after the 8 days rest .

What happens , we start slowly , plodding about , looking like eleven strangers who have never played together before .

It really does beggar belief what goes on during the weeks " training " ,if that's what they call it
 
8 days to prepare and that’s what we serve up.
I’m actually lost for words how fucked off I am with this club.
EIGHTEEN defeats this season and about 5 more to come.
The players and manager can all get to fuck afaic - this is going to get ugly again in our last ten games man, they are mental midgets to a fucking man. Zero bottle.
Absolute laughing stock.
 
That’s what struck me tonight.

The tactics might be shite, but no excuse why we were second to every ball and lacked any fight at all.

Correct.

I could not give a flying fig if the players have or have not lost respect for Postecoglou. He doesn't pay their fcuking wages and nor do they play for him but the club.

Either way and on every level it's just more excuses.

I just don't care. I no longer want to spend time hoping, so once relegation is all but impossible I am switching-off the radar until next season

The Europa, as I said, all along cannot be won by these who neither have belief and who do not instill fear. It's incoherent and impossible.
