Match Leicester away Monday 19th 20.00 GMT

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We've kept 3 clean sheets in our last 30 PL games. In our last 12 PL games W4 L7 D1. Those wins were against Luton, Forrest, Burnley & Sheffield United. Last night in 2nd half looked like a team who haven’t learnt a lot throughout pre season.

All words. No results. Ange is a fraud.
Look at football heritage where savva went through a bunch of stats. For example since last December we have won 1 game v top 10 team. Our win percentage after first 10 games is 41% same as our loss. Other more damming stats.
 
The doom and gloom merchants are back after one draw in the opening fixture.
Not sure they are "doom and gloom merchants" as opposed to "actively wanting Spurs to lose so they can be proved right as we yet again sack a manager before the project can have any chance of building Merchants"

There were plenty of Gooners doing the same in Lego Head's THIRD season. So it's not just us that have this element of the fanbase...

Same 10 players as were playing last season in the starting XI. Vic, Porro, VDV, Cutie, Edigue, Sarr, Bent, Maddy, Son, BJ and new striker Solanke.
You don't expect better performances from them after 10 weeks, do you?
Ange brought the new young signings on out of desperation and didn't change anything. None of them are ready for the PL, don't put much hope on them or kid yourself. They may play cup games against lower leagues.
yhe fact he turned to two 18 year olds to pull out victory says it all. Add richi and Werner to that and you are struggling.

Nobody wants to be right.
It just so happens many of us aren't blind to problems.
 
Telling that in the 70th minute, when the team runs out of steam against *Leicester City*, that the best Ange has available are two 18 year olds & Timo f*ckin Werner. Vacuum of ambition yet again, which is why Kane (and so many others) had to leave in the first place

You are aware that we've fucked of 7+ senior players this summer and this must be at least partially agreeable to Ange?

We have been replacing older squad players with younger ones. It's well known Ange prefers younger players.

I 100% agree that we need experienced, quality ready made players to complement the youth but come on.
 
The starting line-up should have prepared us for what transpired. With one addition it was the team that were on an awful run of form for a good chunk of the previous season . The first game is not a valid reason for once again crumbling after conceding our at this stage trade mark goal due to awful play on our part . Maybe I am a bit negative but for all the talk of getting players in and others out very little has changed .A couple of good young lads ok but we can't depend on them just yet ,they will need a chance .

Why does their age matter? They both performed very well. Apart from Bergvall's one mistake getting caught in possession they were mobile, energetic, skillful and made good decisions. I'm happy to have those two on the pitch any time. In fact if they'd come on after 55 minutes instead of 70 I daresay we win that game.
 
Kuluselvski and Richarlison also came on.
And Werner.

But some were saying look how strong the bench is. Werner could'nt get a cross in. Richy missed a sitter. Two kids who may become good but unproven at this level. Ben fucking Davies and Spence. Fans are deluded and club zero ambition.

Those two 18 year olds are incredibly talented individuals but I’m trying to see the bigger picture of it. How can we realistically challenge for a trophy ( no matter which one) without squad depth ? The season is already compromised. The squad will not stay fit all season and you need many quality subs if you wanna challenge for trophies
