But he also said he’s been having a lot of one on one meetings with individual players, which I think is key. He’s trying to get to know them personally, which I don’t think the other managers did. If he can unlock what each one thinks etc. or even 3/4ers of the group then we will be a better team.

I think I’m relaxed because I knew we’d fall into the bottom three at some stage. Plus I watched the first half of the game last night and both teams were terrible. Us, Leeds, West Ham, Forest. Four shit teams. But hopefully we are the ones who’ve played the final trump card with de Zerbi. Time will tell. Beat Sunderland and then we’ll stay up….and I’ll probably cash out!

Why do you think we are going to win up there? I am relaxed because I have made peace with where we are.

I actually think the ridiculous number of long term injuries to key players that has been the tipping point. If we had more luck with injuries, a lot of the other failings would have remained papered over. We would never have been league or cup contenders but neither would we be in relegation form either.

There needs to be some formal in depth assessment of our injury rate, medical team and player recovery outcomes. There is something drastically wrong as it transcends managers and affects new players coming in to the club as much as established ones. I wonder if its the pitch itself.

Our injuries aren’t just bad luck

Not for 3 years straight

Something else is going on
 
The gravity of our situation has hit me today after seeing WHU blow Wolves away and cause us to drop into the relegation zone for the first time

It's probably between us and Leeds now, and they have much easier fixtures.

The one thing I can't get past is that we simply lose so many games. I am unsure how that changes as we seem to have a self destruct button more than every other team, regardless of who is at the helm..

De Zerbi has to make it unacceptable again.
I don't know what AngeLoss, Fwank and Turgidor did that made the players think it was OK to get ripped to fucking shreds, sent off for no reason or fall arse over tit and not change their boots, but De Zerbi needs to make it absolutely unacceptable.
"You do nothing that will let your team mates down from now on"
"You do exactly as instructed"
"Stay in position"
"Make the passes you've trained to mak"
"Press when you're expected to press"
Etc.

If they do all of that, then things will improve. We need to wipe out the headless chicken aproach of Romero and Porro being out of position and/or sent off.
We need to train into the likes of Xavi that a pass is more useful than a dribble.
We need to drill into players like Van De Ven that position is more effective than a foot race.
Maybe kick Muani up the arse and tell him to get stuck the fuck in too.

Brilliant stuff mate.

You wouldn't believe it's so impossible to message and implement.

We are just so lacking in professionalism, it's just dispiriting.

I don't know what De Zerbi will do in the long run. We can all speculate but until we see it (whatever it may look like), we won't know for sure.

In these remaining games we know now that if we fail to gain another point that's it. How many points we actually do need has now become impossible to guess, because survival has dragged something astonishing out of West Ham. They haven't got better players but look at them. Dare to look at us. Leeds and Forest the same. So much better on paper? No chance

But you are right. It's called discipline, desire and dedication. It's all encompassed in professionalism, and whatever sh!t that has taken place in the minds and actions of the CEO and Lange it does not excuse the dross we have seen on the pitch. Managerial incompetence to allow such on-field decay.

Starting tomorrow Ijust hope we aee professionalism and that's all you have said. It's hard to believe it can happen at this point, which is maybe the single biggest indictment.

Anyone else here just resigned to relegation? Unless De Zerbi pulls a huge f'kin rabbit out of the hat and gets something out of this useless non-performing bunch of wasters, which must be at least a point at Sunderland, then I think we're doomed. Wet Spam have form and easier games than us, and we don't know what a win even looks like.

I guess next season will be 'different'.

If we remembered how to actually win a game, I’d have some hope.

Injuries may be a factor, but they absolutely can not, and should not EVER be used to justify how a club 9th in the table below can be relegated from its own demestic league.

It should be all but impossible

Like I said, its never happened before, and will probably never happen again

It's all karma for when Levy personally set fire to that metal works company that was delaying the stadium build.

Ruling out plain shocking luck, the idea god is a Gooner and bad JuJu...
If it's not plain ineptitude and stupidity it HAS to be deliberate internal sabotage!

Have ENIC got some secret MASSIVE insurance pay out due if we go down....?
Like Timberwolf Timberwolf said with Archway Steel,
Is Lewis that guy who re-insured the Twin Towers 2 weeks before they came down!

It would be the ultimate 'Spursy' thing to do - Get relegated the same season that Woolwich won the league.

Wow, there's a thought....
You should suggest that online, 'cos up until just now I don't think anyone else is talking about that scenario ...

Mention that we'll have ygr best stadium in the Championship?!!!
 
Embrace the chaos....
We've wanted to feel ALIVE again since last May ..
This wasn't QUITE the way I'd envisaged it, but at least it'll wake a few people at the club up....

And if it STILL doesn't , then come the end of the season we riot until they've gone... Tear the fucking place down if we have to and re-lay that fucking GRID IRON PITCH they're so fucking proud of!

I've never simultaneously loved AND HATED Tottenham as much as I do now.

I desperately want us to stay up...
But wish nothing but ill, pain and bankruptcy on our parasite owner...

I won't wish death on them all, as that's the easy way out.. but a long, slow descent into financial ruin will hurt that Scrote head Lewis WAY more than any jail time!

Q3. Which player cost Spurs 62m euros in 2019?
