Lazy pressure? Doesn't that come down to management? What I saw was a complete shit show in terms of a cohesive approach to pressure.
Dele would make a sprint, but everyone behind him would be jogging and not cutting down on the options.
Kane would make a sprint and the same thing happened.
He is blaming players, AGAIN, for his shit deployment.
SH were pretty shit yesterday as a team when it came to pressing as a team, but during that run after lockdown, Ralph had everyone in sync. That's how we played under Poch when we scored the most the squad has ever scored.
I've been done with his man since the rumors of his appt, but now I am about to book a flight to London and stand out in front of the training ground in a Dinosaur suit.
Maybe I'll just paddle over there
Poch had enough credit in the bank to get those 14 games last season. Other than that 4 or 5 game bounce when Mourinho came its been bloody torture. Not sure i could watch another 13 games of this.
I'd take Sarri that curmudgeonly fuck. That would be something.
I thought Poch had enough credit to last until Xmas, so I may be overestimating Levy's patience. In any case, the window closes October 5th. Our business to close out the window will go a long way to determining Mourinho's fate one way or another, for one reason or another.
No!!! We need to focus on a young manager that has a new vision of what it takes in the modern game.
Jose is stuck in his ways, but Sarri might be even worse.
Glad someone is taking this seriously.I'm going to lay out my pentagram and candles on the floor and chant Reguilón for the rest of the evening. Night, all.
He fared pretty well last season. Short memories
Sarri's Napoli teams were fantastic to watch - he's not in the same vein as most Italian managers.
Plus he sucks on a unlit cigarette for 90 minutes.
They were fun to watch, but he is a sour fucker that rubs clubs and players the wrong way. That is why he has had short, rough stays at clubs.
Only difference in the post lockdown performances was Kane. That's it.
Kane had 5 months off to get healthy for the first time in two years, took a couple matches to get match fit and then was banging them in.
Kane basically saved Mourinho's job, and he's probably the only thing that will save it now.
If Levy admitted this I would forgive him. It clearly was a great move for the show.
Jose is possibly the wrong man for the job. He’s far too big for us and no amount of training, tactics or passion / aggression is going to give Dier and Toby pace or Davies an ability to cross or winks the ability to pass 10 fucking yards.
Jose is just another ass covering appointment by Levy. It feels like for years Levy has thought the answer was Jose, that says a lot about Levy and his grip on football. That is not Jose’s fault.
the other thing I would point out is that Ancellotti is older than Jose. Has won less. But has a board that backed him in the summer....make of that what you will.

I really feel the lack of fans motivating them leads to these lifeless displays. Not a lot different to the friendlies we saw. I always said that watching Spurs will be the death of me but my blood pressure did not change even when the goal went in. 4 mins extra time, could have been 40 and we would still not have scored. I really was glad when the whistle went to put me out of my misery. Not watching other teams and maybe they are coping better but I did not feel this way earlier in the season even after Moutinho arrived.
I've defended Jose up until now but this is the first time I felt seriously uneasy. That was as bad as it gets today. It was embarrassingly bad.
Not to mention 15 mill a year. Even with this squad seeing us defended for our dear lives with low possession count at home is terrible. This isn't Tottenham it's like watching stoke.
