Summed up perfectly. All it is keep it tight and hopefully nick a goal. We seem constantly terrified of what the opposition can do to us and whilst each to thier own, i personally think people are in denial if they think this is going to work. Its been like this since December. For all the average players we have there isnt an excuse for what we are being served up.
A lot of people don't want to hear it especially now but it's never going to happen for him, he's always going to think that he deserves more backing from the board and it'll never be enough for what he wants just like at man utd.
Performances post lockdown were poor, a few boring wins papered over some massive cracks. Leicester first half was good and Woolwich was a 50/50 game which we nicked but Sheff Utd, Bournemouth, Everton and Palace perfirmances were abysmal.
Puts Son in lots of space and keeps he and Kane in different channels.
And it puts Doherty and Davies in roles that play to their strengths.
It can work. I did work at times after the restart. You just need the three forward players not mentioned here to be sound and dangerous with the ball. They were miles from that today.
To be fair to him, I've not heard any such talk from him. He knows the score, he knows our budget(s), he's repeated this since day one and clearly accepted the job with these parameters.
The fucking state of affairs.
The only positive I take from the game is that it seems that more people are finally waking up to the fact that Jose can not be the manager of Spurs.
I am starting to get used to losing again, after some wonderful years of greatness, I guess I can come to terms with us being a mid-table team again, but I can not fucking stand the football we are playing. It is disgraceful.
I hope people see now what we had. What we have lost due to ungrateful whining and demands for more, for silverware, for titles. Demands for a plan B, a plan B that caused our managers to lose focus on our once brilliant plan A.
We stopped playing with AMs who could actually play football to add players who could run and dribble. Now we can not control a game, we can not outplay a team, all they have to do is deny us space in behind and we have nothing.
We have a manager now that is only here because of cries for titles. He adds nothing of value. Maybe a bit of cynicism, but that is all. He has no idea how to organize and implement an attacking plan. He places no value on creativity. He does not care to play positive football. And his ability to get the best out of players and teams died years ago.
Unfortunately for us, we were fortunate last season. If you look behind the points we got, the numbers are mostly atrocious. We were often dominated in possession, shots, shots on goal, xG and xPts, even when we won games.
In the summer we made the least exciting signings I can remember us doing, and today we got the first piece of evidence that Doherty and Hojbjerg will only make us worse.
We will keep deteriorating for as long as the current manager is in charge. We need someone who will be brave enough to clean up our squad and have us start playing actual fucking football again.
Sadly, I think we can not afford to fire Jose due to the whole Covid situation. Fucked if we do, fucked if we don't.
The fucking state of affairs.

For the first time today i thought he looked like he was going through the motions. Dont blame him, he didnt get a sniff. We're lucky there is only 3 weeks of this window left. Unless we show some intent in the market and/or do something with the managerial situation he is gone next summer and i dont blame him.
I think our post-lockdown record converted into prem standing against other teams, had us at 4th.
So.
Dude, leave me alone, please.
The massive cracks were holes in the squad we expected to get properly filled, though, right?
Yep he'd agree to accept those terms to get the jobs but just wait as this window progresses and he gets to see who other non-oil rich clubs are signing.
I dont let the owners off in this shitshow but even with our many weaknessess there isnt an excuse for these performances. No real tactics or motivation, we arent getting more out of the team than the sum of its parts, we have 2 world class forwards constantly chasing long punts from our defenders. Its so poor.
Yep, that's certainly an expectation based on previous appointments. If he does go that route, it's game over for sure.
What???
Should have been 2-1 up at half time 2 very good chances missed.
2nd half very poor the team looked 2 yards too slow
