Manager Igor Tudor

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Doherty had about as much defensive nous as your average plant pot and he was far less tenacious and technically gifted than Porro.

Emerson yes was better defensively, but destroyed build up and parked himself extremely deep because of how limited he was.

Aurier on his day could tackle but equally he could give away two penalties, get a red card and take three foul throws.

Porro all round is better than all of them - he is a Spain international and very good technically.

Pedro Porro is fucking shit at football.

Waste of a Spurs shirt every time he plays.

I've seen enough of Peter Spliff.
 
I hope the reporter asks Tudor

"Why was Archie Gray consistently the last man over and over again throughout the match - what the fuck formation were you actually playing?"

I mean, on paper it looked like a 532

But on the pitch it was like a 4 4 2 formation

But there was about 6 or 7 times when Archie Gray was the last defender so fuck knows.
 
You didn’t say first choice … you said the worst right back we’ve had.

Aurier was worse than Porro. Doherty was much worse. Emerson fucking Royal is barely a bloody footballer.. I really don’t have to go back that far.


Name me a first choice right back who Porro is better than over the last 30 years?

Almost like Porro bullies him to play RB.
 
I really don't think thats the issue anymore. I did before anfield but they've shown they can buy into him. Their heads completely dropped when they got sucker punched right before half time which is why they hated being out on the pitch for the second half.

If we can play like we did in the first half we can also get a goal first and turn some of the games we've got coming up into draws or wins.
I watched the first half. we weren't that good in it either
 
Yeah!!! Great time to make a change now. Instead of a change a week ago where the manager had a week and two matches to sort things out and work something with the players, now he will not see the payers for 2 weeks and just meet them before the next match.

When management think like fans and online posters and flip flop their opinion and decision making based on fluky results, disaster happens and we get exposed.
 
He has to go.

Those saying “it’s the players” may be right, but what do we have to lose now? We’re going down with him, we might as well roll the dice without him.

Thought he got the system wrong today.

And crucially hasn't changed the mentality

In my mind, a manager can't necessarily change the pattern of play in a really short period but they can work on the mindset of a group.

Losing like we did means Tudor isn't adding the necessary aspects.

I mean thats fucking awful but, that sounds such weird timing.

So a family member died in the 90 minutes we were essentially playing in a game?

WTF. It's horrendous. I know these things are bigger than football, but it just sums up everything about the club right now.

Sympathies with the bloke of course.

That does not prevent the club from doing the right thing however.

And whilst it would probably be wromg to do anything immediately, it's arguably now easier to relieve Tudor than it might have seemed.
