That will see
im on at 28’s….. so fingers crossed it happens before our next PL game
He did motivate them, they followed his tactical instructions. Don’t blame the players, he clearly asked then to hit it long, bypass the midfield and gamble on knock downs. They did that
It was obvious for anyone with eyes that it wouldn't last. Football fans love to say '3 points is what matters' but long term you need a style of football which means you're consistently creating more chances than the opposition do. If you don't have that, you won't win enough games.
It was the same during the purple patch under Jose, although lots of our fans were getting dizzy. We were definitely better then than we have been so far this season, but we were still clearly massively overachieving points wise. People hate xG but it's incredibly accurate over a long term basis, and then and now most teams we play have a better xG than we do.
I hope in future people can look past results at times. It needs to be more about whether the managers vision is right for Spurs, and whether the players are buying in to said vision, and showing that on the pitch. Poch struggled results wise first season but I saw so much evidence the players bought in to it, and the ones who didn't we moved on.
I'm sure under someone like Potter we will get some bad results and the transition will be painful. But if change is happening and the players are responding I'm happy, and I think most of our decent fans will be too. Fact is most of us aren't anti-Nuno because we're impatient kneejerkers, we just didn't want him in the first place and our doubts are being confirmed.
If I was never in favor of Nuno being appointed in the first place, then that does that automatically qualify me as a Nuno Out?
I agree. He hasn’t lost the dressing room yet. They are doing what he’s asking them, we can see that. It’s just what he’s asking them to do is shit. We know this lot are pretty weak so it won’t take too many more games for the snakes to come out.
Where’s Steve McLaren could he help??????
I'm not sure he ever found the fucking dressing room!
Potter would have Tottenham fighting for the top 4.
Nuno would have Brighton in relegation.
A squad full of internationals do not become bad players overnight. Our players do not move into space and call for the ball so the player in possession has somewhere to pass it. We don’t move away from the opposition players so the only safe pass is backwards or sideways. Our players are easily marked out of the game so they don’t have to take responsibility. Lucas Moura is the only one who gets the ball and tries to take on the opposition. If I take the safe pass then my pass rate is good and it makes me look like I tried
Even worse than voting yes or no is the fact I actually don’t care.
Apathy is the worst thing about all this.

Mason >>>>>>>>>>>>> Nuno
nunos problem is that he let kane back into the team. without him we were 2-0 (although he played a few minutes against wolves). people forget this. then you drag a pos like kane who does not care about his team mates, the fans or anything but his city salary and glory that didn't materialize. it is obvious that it is not going to work out. if he has some balls he will leave kane out of it and i think he will do well. if not, he must leave.

We can put them in different positions, but I don't have any faith in the 8 outfield players between Hugo and Kane/Son. That's our problem. But at least changing Nuno out for a better coach should steady the ship. That's about the best we are going to do this season.
Ryan Mason on insta. OMG IT'S HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????!??!?!?!?!?!?!?
please god no- mason was awful
Open your fucking eyes the vast majority of our squad are shit and don't give a fuck about the club
Go on then. What did he do that was so awful, other than wanting to win so badly? I’d take a manager who wants Spurs to win at all cost, thank you very much.
