Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

How long do we have to put up with this before Ange gets his marching orders?

This is hands down the worst Spurs team I can remember since the 90s

I think our general set up on set plays has been much improved, we are much better organised on them. Our defenders handle them alright now, Porto’s bad header today is fairly atypical. They aren’t a major concern for me.

But Vicario has to improve a lot on this aspect. He punched a corner he should have claimed today and it got recycled for another one that they scored from. He completely flapped at one on Wednesday that City really should have scored from where Biss bailed him out.
But I also watched him come and claim a few crosses today.

Very rarely will any player have a perfect game. He's a goalie...his mistakes are more visible.

However, to me he's the new scapegoat.

We conceded from a corner today that no keeper would have come to claim. Indeed, he saved a goal initially and the rebound was tucked away. Yet he's getting pelters.

He isn't perfect but he is much improved on last season...yet he's still being judged with last season in mind.
 
I'm at page 62 of the match day thread; it's 3:23pm... at halftime we were the worst Spurs team in history. Villa have the greatest manager ever while most seem to want ours sacked.

An early equaliser has cheered the match thread up but now Ange has subbed Son for Richarlison and every has agreed all the momentum has gone and Ange is a war criminal.

The game is on a knife edge... I wonder what happens next...

Thought we were superb all match, first half we were unlucky to be behind by one goal.

The 2nd half was superb. So much energy, was brilliant, such a good watch.

When did we last score a free kick like the one Maddison did?

Sarr was phenomenal.
 
We frankly don’t look like we even have an identity. Just pointless possession. It’s all so stale.

Emery is an actual coach with actual tactics, not some blagger from the A League.
Actual Coach: 1
A League Blagger: 4

... and your point is...?

I'd take solanke off and put Son through the middle. No space for passengers in the second half.
Thank fuck you're not our Manager then!

Powderpuff solanke. Waste of money.
WELL THAT aged well!
 
reachingforthestars reachingforthestars is correct. Vicario is bad news. Does the dramatic stuff because it serves his ego, but couldn't command his box if his life depended on it
"Wop"????

Fucking sort yourself out.....
I was picking up on the negative comments on him...

He's clearly not any of those things, but people are digging him out cus he shouted at one of our players... So what?

At least he's not a time wasting ex-Gooner cunt who paraded the World Cup with such repulsive disdain like it was an extension of his DICK!!

I know who's I'd rather between the sticks!

Vicario EVERY DAY!

Fair. 'Better' needs to become 'consistently better'.

Criticism of their goal today is fucking out of order though..... Considering the wrestling he was left to do (again; by our zonal non-marking) ; he did well to even get down to make the initial block.... A save that was born of a dodgy header by Bentancur and had already magically gone 'through' our player on the front post.
 
There was Bergvall in the first game and Gray today. If there's any experienced players getting similar treatment and being singled out then I can't remember.

It's not only the newbies.

He's barked at all those defenders at different times. It's what keepers do.....

They probably had a 'bro' moment at FT and put it behind them.
