Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I may be naive, but I do feel like the club won't put Mason in charge again.. I think the only way they'd make a change is if there's an external replacement. Even if it's a Terzic or the like on a short term contract.

I think as stupid as the club is.. Even they'd have to be aware that just going back to Mason Part III, is a really bad and embarrassing look, and actually damages everyone, including him.
 
They have the third smallest wage bill in the league. He's doing it with fuck all resources.

Us being in the Europa league is such a shitty excuse for our plight. Absolute horseshit. If Ange wants to manage a club like Spurs he can't fucking hide behind Europe.

Europa league, semi finals of the league cup, still in the Fa cup, it's a lot of pressure on a squad not built to cope with all those games and the fast high pressure style of football we play

If you are happy with the quality and numbers of our squad then you are in a minority

Bournemouth despite having far less games to deal with currently have 9 players out. Yes Iraola is doing magnificently well but my point is that his football is also highly intense and his players tend to pick up injuries. It's just something to think about, if he came here he took will need a big squad and quality cover to cope with the extra games and pressure.
 
What is there to laugh about? You think it was normal to go into this season with Solanke as our only senior striker? Were you happy with our overall transfer business last summer
No, but anyone saying the situation couldn't have been managed more smartly, as is, and our game shaped so solanke didn't have to play 9/10/8 all at once, is intentionally avoiding considering that.

I think Ange survives tbh.

What coach would be mad enough to take this job right now with all these injuries
 
He doesn’t play 9/10/8 all at once. He plays as #9 as it gets.
He absolutely does not. wtf haha

All you nutters need to leave me alone tbh.

Don't know what it is, but this manager has cast some sort of fucking spell on you.

Many of you used to be level-headed and reasonably rational.

This guy has turned you gaga.

No idea what's happened to you.

It's fucking wild.

Freaking me out.

What are you talking about? The whole point of am Ange striker is to stay in the box. It’s been the entire conversation all this time that we need to get Richy and Solanke service because they have to stay in the box.

We sold Kane and didn't replace him. The next summer we signed Solanke but didn't also sign an adequate back up. It's just sheer negligence. Why should a club if this size be in this position all the time, always short in key areas, not enough quality

And still nothing changes. More than halfway through this Jan window and there is still no sign of reinforcements coming in. Forget about managing the situation more smartly, we need more players :ange-facepalm2:

Seen he's come, Solanke has covered various areas (centrally) during matches.

Dropping in on numerous occasions which have been discussed in matchday threads.

The contention being that he's been DOING TOO MUCH.

Very rarely dropping. Mostly playing #9.

He’s been playing too much considering how hard he works but that’s because the club decided that a broken Richy and a rookie kid are adequate support for the #9 rotation at a supposedly big 6 club

Nope.

Watched his positioning closely since he's been here.

Dropped in on many occasions with wingers ahead of him.

Saying he's been an on-the-shoulder classic 9 is nonsense.

Hopeful this rancid spell lifts when this idiot manager is gone.

It's a big problem.
