Management Roberto De Zerbi

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

It’s interesting that he has taken the youngest players out of the midfield and is not turning to them in the same way that we were reliant before. I think that’s a very sensible decision in the circumstances despite how good Gray and Berg are.
we of course had injuries but on paper, gallagher, bentancur and palinha is a really strong midfield if they're at their best. rdz is a midfielder himself too so he gets it. feeling really optimistic about all this!
 
The camera cut to Lange and Vinai, while we were two nil up and cruising, and they both looked as though someone had swapped their caviar with rabbit droppings.

I don't really subscribe to the theories from the tin-foil hat brigade, that they want us to go down, but seeing their complete lack of enthusiasm, at one of our best performances of the season does make you wonder.

At least Levy would allow himself a slightly satisfied smirk, when we played well.

They are a symptom of the Levy/Lewis club.

Get rid of Pleat who loves the club and knows football and get in some random cunts who are both incompetent and don’t care but are really good at PowerPoint and excel which is what the board like to see and impresses them.

It’s been crazy to see everyone from Hoddle to Harry Redknapp to Pochettino all making distress noises and showing their love for the club while we have these two empty suits hanging around like some bad smell.
 
We haven't had one since Conte lost interest around September/October 2022. Unsurprisingly makes a difference.

lol. The Derangers treated this thread like the plague early doors and now the tides turned you're all flocking here for your flowers.

My guy - we finished 5th and won a major trophy post the Conte years and De Zerbi name checked Postecoglu in his first presser.

Whatever - we have a manager who footballs back. Just make sure Derangers don't fuck this up pls
 
Yep he's doing what he said he wanted in his first presser and getting us to play like we did under Postecoglou.

For real, you're a mentalist. Ange was, and is, an absolute bum. Absolute. Never mention him in this thread again. Stick to the Ange thread for your delusions please.
 
Some won't. Frank I'll give you, but some people vehemently believe Ange is the second coming. As a season ticket holder, I don't get it, but mentalist be crazy yo. Maybe they'll shut up when the only job he gets is the Timbuktu train fuckers, but I doubt it.
After one whole summer of not being hired, being brought in at Forest and failing miserably, then spending the rest of the season out of football, the verdict from the footballing world seems clear. I believe he was out of work when Celtic’s job was open and they didn’t have him back…

I know, but some on here think we bombed the next Ferguson. It's fucking crazy. I've done a lot of drugs, but none that would make me belive Ange was good. These fools are drinking some special kool aid.
 
That first half was something to behold. We controlled every aspect of the game. I haven't seen Villa Park that quiet, followed by boos at the end of 45 mins.

All I can hope for is a) we stay and b) we give this guy some time. We got what we Dezerbed.
 
Great to see he has got players doing the simple things that just haven't been there for ages , filling spaces and giving options , pressing in packs , making quick decisions .
Still some bad habits but huge improvements .
If he can get this after 4 weeks imagine what he can do next season if we stay up and he can get the 3/4 ins that he wants .

Why people insist on putting Harry Redknapp in lists next to actual Tottenham legends maddens me.

The guy has zero affinity for us.
