Management Roberto De Zerbi

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Doesn't matter what formation we play, we are equally as flawed in every position.
Yes, confidence is on the floor...probably largely down to trying to force a system that is never going to work with the players at this club. You need fucking good wingers to play 3 up top, if you haven't got that then forget it. Do something that suits you, all this muggy trying to copy other teams is a joke, footballs become boring.

And you can forget about this team playing a single pivot in that 4-3-1-2, we have no-one to pass the ball from deep, we're fucked either way lol
 
In our current situation I think we need what little we have in terms of creativity on the pitch. Loading up with our CMs will get us nowhere in my view.
But it will make us more solid, at the minute we are fragile in the middle all to try and play with wingers who offer us fuck all. The wingers are not creating, they're not good footballers. Also more likely to score with two strikers in the box not one...
 
Do people not get it's not the manager now????

We start Xavi and it would still be the same. The players don't care...please register it into your head my God.

We've had an ultra attacking coach, a pragmatic defensive coach, a coach that plays a back 3 and now an attacking coach and it's all the same. We can't create and we don't look dangerous in attack, we can't string a pass together.

Our midfield and attack is dog shit. Kudus early on bailed us out of trouble this season but generally we are absolutely atrocious. We hype up our players but sorry...out midfield is not good and not balanced...and our attack is non existent. Now add to that the players couldn't give a shit and well...
2/3rds of season is on Frank. He coached no attacking patterns other give the ball to kudus, long throws and corners. Now people say we are very fit. Ffs what was he doing with all those coaches.
 
Again, it's not what a manager says but what he does. Let's see what De Zerbi does on Saturday, where the fans will be vocal in their support but need to have something to vocal about.
Surely we have to more pro active and give it a go otherwise what was the point of changing 2 managers.
Rdz needs to live up to his image. If we are to go down then at least go down fighting.
 
He won’t be here after relegation. I see no use attempting to believe otherwise.
rdz to me although a good coach is on a win win. Does he really have the heart to drag us out of relegation. I still maintain we needed someone with a club back ground and who may be just may be felt the pain. Rdz would have been a contender in the summer along with Poch, irola, nanglesman, glasner and a whole host of other top coaches. We had beg for him to come now as they fucked up getting Tudor and we’re desparate. If get no result v Brighton may as well just give up and prepare for champo. I was so disappointed in our approach on Sunday. Sunderland were crap yet we let them have the ball and control the game. 3 weeks off a lot of players back rested etc we should have really pressed the shit out of them.
 
Fans criticized Frank and rightly so.

Fans criticized Tudor and rightly so.

De Zerbi deserves as much shite as they got for his performance yesterday. Absolutely shocking from start to finish...and I'm including the post-match presser. Utter garbage.
We’re fucked having to go cap in hand to him and held to ransom. He’ll collect the big ost packet not having to earn it or deserve it.
 
And people here moaned to the high heavens about it, and players not playing in their positions, and Tudor got sacked for it.

He's doing the same, but it's fine and dandy, can't judge him til Xmas, despite us having 6 games to save our PL status. I just don't understand the logic, and everyone being so delighted, to get a manager that in order to be successful, needs players that we don't have for him to successfully implement his style.

It's the same posters who go balls in on every manager like they're the new pope, it's bizarre.
The same ones who say there is a player in there somewhere when justifying the expensive purchases of players like tel, oddjob, Richi, Solanke, list goes on. They deserve the relegation for accepting the crap we have purchased who now seem unconcealed and can’t string 3 passes together. The same ones were happy with Frank. Even though he wasn’t even an upgrade on Ange. They all deserve this shit. Some of us have been calling out this for ages. Mangers , players, coaches, directors the lot who have been crap and got us into this mess but some on here thought they were all good.
 
I just can’t see how we will score goals. Of the available players there is nobody who can pick a pass, nobody with pace, nobody who can dribble, nobody who can strike the ball with any venom.

It’s mad to think that players like Erik Lamela, Nacer Chadli and Lucas Moura would be our best players by an absolute mile if they were in our squad today.

Solanke, Tel, Xavi, Muani, Richarlison, they are all the same mediocre level. They would be on the bench for a team like Fulham yet they are starting-level players for us. That’s why we are getting relegated. Since the stadium opened we have gradually replaced all our special players with mediocre players, and all our mediocre players with shit players.
 
Yes that’s what I have been saying. Why wasn’t he more energetic on the touch line. It’s almost like he couldn’t give a shit.
It just, strange. Any managers once they come to us will mellow down into some meek sheeps. Mourinho, Conte, Tudor, De Zerbi. I would have thought they will carry their fiery nature to our club, but no. I always thought hmm maybe the club is such a lovable peaceful place their temperament has dialled down. But over time, I just want some fire in them but it's completely gone. I think the duvet has to be blamed lol.
