Ange needs to take his lumps for this one. The players were poor but I never once saw him give any kind of direction or guidance from the bench. Just fuck-all with his head down.
The decision to start Bissouma is baffling enough but to keep him on after half time absolute beggars belief.
Also how many games is it where a team pack the box knowing we'll pass the ball tamelessly left and right outside the box until we lose it and let them score? Are we ever going to learn how to put a ball between defenders?
Ange's philosophy of letting players do what they b want is great until it isn't. He needs to fucking step up. He may not care about Champions League football, but I fucking do

Because plan A has been worked out.
Defend deep and counter with long balls in the spaces the fullbacks leave when they are out of position, it not that complicated
I’ve been banned from buying them next season! Last season felt less grim purely as it was the end of a phase of the team. Really shouldn’t have said it can’t be worse this season…
I remember happily referring to him as Flopp and there was a much more passionate and boisterous #FSGOUT movement thanJohn Thomas has ever managed to organize.
Ange has been good. We've gotten away from what we were doing so well in the autumn, and need to refocus. Have always said it was about next season and beyond, this season was just about establishing that Ange isn't another Nuno and figuring out which players work and which ones need to be replaced.
We're still better than I expected, so playing with house money.
We are further ahead than we could be.
The issue now is that the club has created a culture where fans expect a manager to get sacked the moment it isn't easy.
And I don't trust the owners not to sack the manager when the blame starts coming back at them.
This is still a club in purgatory. For what I don't know but it's just a nothing football club in this current model. It's time to go big or go home but we will probably do neither and just continue doing what we always do.
Funny, that's exactly what Conte was doing.
As soon as we do, we're beeing called sissy's, queens, whining biatches on here.

You genuinely think this season is worse than last year?
Which is why if Ange really studies how other team dismantle us during Conte days, we would have found the solution to playing Ange ball without getting pounded.
Said a few weeks ago maddison has got too cosy. Plays a couple of nice passes and thinks his job is done. Every player needs competition next season. No passengers.
Newcastle pressed us into mistakes today. we have been beating almost all the teams that sit back and counter us like Conte used to.
The big possession numbers were all from the second half when the damage was done.
Spurs right side is defensively weak.
Harvey Barnes had the freedom of St Jame's Park today. Porro made Barnes look world class.
Eddie Howe out thought Ange and Newcastle's reserves out fought Spurs best 11.
In context, definitely. We were already in a grim place last season so I could accept it more. It was woeful today-couldn’t see any way we’d score and they weren’t great - just mugged us off.
Anyone else feel like shit?

Nah. Feel nothing.
Utterly embarrassing and pathetic performance against a makeshift team.
Spurs never cease to amaze me - Manager and players should be ashamed of themselves after that shitshow at Fulham as well in our last away game.
I wish I didn’t get tickets for the NLD tbh - we are going to be humiliated the next few games if this carries on and it looks like it will cos the manager won’t change and the players are mental midgets as usual.
Disgraceful

But the teams he played against didn’t have their fullbacks playing as inverted 10s
It's the same lazy analysis.
We've won the third most amount of points from losing positions behind Liverpool and Man City.
