Manager Igor Tudor

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

It makes some sort of sense to hold fire to see if the players are finally playing for him a d getting used to his play. We’ll soon see against Madrid and Forest. If we win those he has to stay until the end of the season. A number of players back but let’s hope Micky ( fed up and wants to leave) and Romero ( doesn’t want to get injured before the World Cup) buy into his way.


Imagine on the last day we stay up and Micky and Romero get injured and miss the WC???
 
Running stats appear to be up alot since Tudor came in. Maybe them fitness laps are starting to pay off. It really does feel like he's cleaning up an absolute mess left behind by Frank.

Tudor probably got off on the wrong foot by showing no love and dishing out some home truths. It probably harmed us in the short term where maybe our players low in confidence just wanted a small pick me up or the famous Harry Redknapp arm around the shoulder treatment. But them home truths were probably what we needed to actually take this situation seriously! Hopefully we're now starting to see the benefit of that.

I still have major concerns around Tudor's team selection and parts of his man-management. But tactically he's surprised me so far and does look more adaptable that any of our previous managers. Ange was all out attack while Frank just wanted to sit off against every team. Let's see how this goes. I guess it's one game at a time for now but some encouraging trends starting to develop.
 
Only in the Tottenham universe where a coach is not delivering the results and (the whole world agrees) he is about to be sacked before crucial matches, for him to nick a fluky results against a bad team, and then the whole world flips 180 degrees to now give him more time. Only for him to lose the upcoming crucial match.

This is the dream scenario ENIC was fantasizing about, to not move their sorry a$$es and make a positive move for once. We are back at square one. We will lose the NF match if this guy is in charge.

Yes, the players ran and fought. That's what yesterday's performance was, run, fight. Did anyone see better movement? Better plan?, Better linkup play? I cannot count the amount of time I screamed at the screen for a bad pass, missed counter, defensive mistake, etc. It wasn't Brazil 1982 performance by all means.
I am thinking the same thing..one draw against the worst Liverpool in years is not turning the corner...let's see how the rest of the season goes before throwing our hats in the air...
 
Somehow it worked out but Souza wide on the right and Spence wide on the left made no sense to me.

Square pegs in square holes please Igor.
Yes surely we would may be performed even better if Porro was playing where Souza was so that he could naturally cross the ball from out wide. Put spending at rb and Souza lb. That was the most obvs thing to do. Sometime even if you play half decent or get a result doesn’t mean things couldn’t be done better. I think in every game he has handicapped us in one way or another.
 
No idea whether tudor turns it around or not but I will say as soon as west ham got nuno I was confident he'd keep them up. Still might end up wrong obviously but the point is he didnt come in and work immediate miracles. Over a bit of time he's got them looking like a team who wouldn't be anywhere near relegation over the course of a season.


Whether tudor does that for us is anyone's guess but we put so much hope in "new manager bounce" that we forgot anyone coming in would likely still see a few defeats at first. The team has been completely shot of confidence for so long.


If we lose to forest fair enough get rid. But if we draw or better I could feel some confidence in what hes doing. Such is the tightly strung nature of what hes walked into
 
I think he’s a pillock. But he’s stirred something in me this week. He’s fighting for us - and even if his tactics are a bit weird - I’m gonna back this mother fucker to the hilt.
