Get rid of this bloke. On paper I didn't mind the 11 players he chose to start but the way he arranged them was dumb as fuck and worthy of the sack. 3 losses, 9 goals conceded.

I would take Ryan Mason over him at this point. We need a club man in charge, not a random janitor from Serie A. We need to play simple football with players in their right positions not this complicated 352 with RBs at CB and CDMs at RWB. The players are under enough pressure as it is.
Yeah i honestly think Mason with perhaps Redknapp as a figurehead, rather than coach would be better.

Other options are Dyche but suspect our precious darlings would hate that and i dont see him wanting it for 9 games.

Or the preferable option which we should have done early January, a permanent manager. It obviously means not getting Poch come summer but this is bigger than that.
 
I admire your positivity but we don't have anyone that can create something out of nothing any more

That Gray assist was literally out of nothing last night

Tel created himself a shot out of nothing last night, Solanke scored a fucking scorpion kick the other day.

Kudus will come back

These players just need confidence and a fuck off mentality.

We can't even do basic passes and we are carved open by even average teams

All changes with the confidence of 1 result.

I've never lost faith in a Spurs team but this one seems hopeless

Hopelessness is your choice mate. You can’t change what they do either way but if it’s hopeless, there’s no point watching
 
We have made an awful management appointment and can’t beat the teams near us.
These things matter in a relegation battle.

We have to hope come the end of the season Everton are safe and Leeds are safe and we have two games where the teams we play have absolutely nothing on the line.

You just can’t lose your 6 pointer relegation battles and hope to stay up.
If we had of beaten West Ham the league would look very different right now.
Even just a draw with Forest away rather than a 3-0 loss changes things.

Forest at home is going to be the litmus test. Fail that one things are properly bleak.

Fuck Leeds being safe. We want to finish above them,

Every game is the litmus test.
 
Get rid of this bloke, clearly not working and it will never work with him.

Could get in Ryan mason and have him just play the formation Ange played I guess. That might get the club one more win

But this squad is so poisonous, disrespectful and full of hate for the club itself I don't see anything other than relegation. The so called leadership group hate the place.

The only crumb of comfort I can offer is when the club is relegated the Lewis family might realise they're stupid and not cut out to run a football club.

They'll sack the Woolwich snake and his dummy Danish cousin.
They'll get in a director of football who actually knows football like Ralph Ragnick
80 percent of these players will go and they'll have to start again.
They'll bring in a good attacking coach that at least brings entertainment, football should be a fun watch

I don't much care anymore, but I do feel real bad for all those people who spent thousands and thousands going to that stadium and up and down the country the past two seasons, and then will do the same again next season in the championship. They really don't deserve this. As well as the People living in the area who are just gonna be bantered hard for the next year plus
Poor bastards

It’s like talking to a child with you sometimes.

What exactly is the litmus test that Liverpool provides us?

A place we regularly go to and lose. A club fighting for top 4 while we “fight” for bottom 4. Im not even sure we are really fighting tbh.

What exactly do you you expect to find out about this team on Saturday that you don’t already know?
 
Yes mate but the promised land you believe in where Woolwich bottle the league and we win all our games doesn’t actually exist, it’s just voices in your head.
The only one interested in a promised land for Woolwich is you.

I don’t give a fuck what they do. I’ll just refuse to believe they are winners until they actually win something.

As for Spurs, I get that intentionally being optimistic about the team offends you but surely you’ve learned that you are wasting your time with me now?

Or is your mission to try and make sure nobody agrees with me?

Intentionally

Only an idiot looks for rationality in sports fandom. It’s the least rational thing a person could ever be.

I’ll leave the rest of my life to be rational thanks. You do you. Hope it makes you feel better.

You prefer we just give them the points now?

I expect the unexpected at all times with this football club. For good and bad.
 
Because you need to be prepared for every eventuality - if we don’t, and the worst happens (which is now a growing possibility) - ENIC need to know exactly what the plan is to go back up and action it almost instantly and seamlessly.

Only incompetents wouldn’t be preparing for every eventuality at this stage - ‘failing to prepare…’. It’s just basic prep and planning - something I suspect we don’t do.

Planning for a multitude of scenarios is quite diff to prematurely resigning yourself to defeat and merely focusing on that outcome.....

It seemed some of you were suggesting the later when honestly the only proactive thing we could do before the chips fall is to ditch some of Lange and above.......

.......Fundamentally; because we don't want them clowns planning our future (be it CL or Champo). Any future planning they are responsible for needs to go in the bin anyway.

Ah - no - ‘hope for the best but prepare for the worst’ was my meaning!

And - yes - their planning (for what it’s worth) has clearly been shown to be poor for some time.
 
My reasons for being in favour of sacking him are that his formation I feel isn’t what we need.

We needed someone to come in, keep it simple, 4-4-2 and ask the players to run around .

Instead we’ve got this bloke who is overly complicating things. I just don’t honestly think what the club were thinking hiring a man who would totally implement a new system with 10 games to go in a relegation battle.

I wasn’t against Tudor, but I had serious doubts. What as troubled me is seeing him come in and try to play a totally new system. It was very unlikely to work.

It’s just further evidence we are run by totally clueless people. There is nobody with a clue about football making decisions at the club, that is apparent.

Paratici is clearly a football terrorist with his managerial recommendations and Lange, don’t get me started. He’s totally out of his depth.

In a relegation battle we need to give ourselves the best chance, and playing 3 at the back and a totally new system just isn’t it.
 
We can sign all kinds of good managers at Tottenham, but there's no point in that, when the players have a bad attitude and don't follow the manager's plan. For some reason, our players don't fight enough for each other and for the manager. They are selfish players who put their own performance and desires above the team. I can't see them follow any game plan.
I absolutely hate these players. They should all be docked wages for how they’ve conducted themselves. I was inclined to excuse them with Frank in charge but the fact they’ve continued on like that is inexcusable.
However, Tudor’s decision to bring on Gallagher and Bissouma a few minutes before half defies any explanation so can only assume he’s trying to get himself sacked.
