Yeah i honestly think Mason with perhaps Redknapp as a figurehead, rather than coach would be better.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.
I admire your positivity but we don't have anyone that can create something out of nothing any more
We can't even do basic passes and we are carved open by even average teams
I've never lost faith in a Spurs team but this one seems hopeless
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.
Until we aren’t
Our clowns at the top probably think things will improve when Kudus, Maddison, Kulusevski and Udogie come back.
Get rid of this bloke, clearly not working and it will never work with him.
Fuck Leeds being safe. We want to finish above them,
Every game is the litmus test.
The only one interested in a promised land for Woolwich is you.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.
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?
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.
Ah - no - ‘hope for the best but prepare for the worst’ was my meaning!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 to be the clowns planning our future (be it CL or Champo). Any other future planning they are responsible for needs to go in the bin anyway.
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.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.
They might do as our stars run their bollocks off in the hope they attract another Prem club?Our clowns at the top probably think things will improve when Kudus, Maddison, Kulusevski and Udogie come back.
