Match Brighton & Hove Albion vs Tottenham Hotspur - Sunday 6th October - 16:30KO

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Thing is, we suck at defending. Shutting up shop only works if you can shut up shop. I see nothing about our defensive game that makes me think being more pragmatic would make much difference.

Why is it so hard to find a manager that can coach attack and defence?
 
When any other team routinely crumbles and throws away games like this. Their fans and the media, spend an age analysing. "Why is this?" and "What can be done to remedy it?"

With us, the reaction is just. It's Spurs lol, Spursy, typical Spurs and all those other bullshit cliches.

There's no such thing as Spursy... Its a fake, stupid word that has no definition. Yet it gets treated like some curse that can't be broken... Us throwing away a three goal lead against Man Utd 23 years ago, has no bearing on what this or any future Spurs team does. Game like this need fixing, and can't keep being put down to "Lol what are we like".
 
Well, nice to know you have a scapegoat.
He's been poor for a number of games - take off the rose tints mate.
And yes, you're being daft.
Nope, just realistic.
And no, I doubt you'll give him any credit if in the next game he has a blinder.
That's a fucking HUGE if - will one blinding game make up for all the dross? No, it won't.
