Manager Ryan Mason

Was up for letting him and Aurier go for free in the summer. How many times has that combo cost us.
That single decision to bring Sissoko on continues to perplex me. Start him, perhaps - if there’s a tactical plan there. Bring him on when 3-0 up in extra time, by all means .
But to sub him on at such a critical juncture I cannot fathom.
When has this EVER worked? Can someone tell me.
Just seen Mason's post match comments. He was pretty spot on about how the game unfolded.
City dominated the first half we rode our luck and then we started to come into it in the second half and gain more possession.
He didn't address why the fuck he chose the exact moment we were in the ascendency to take off two players capable of hurting the opposition and replace them with the worst footballer of all time and a geriatric Bale who I'm pretty sure never touched the ball.
Completely indefensible decision. As I said when the goal went in - he deserved that. He hammered the nail into his, and our, collective coffin when he brought that French fraud on. Cowardly and irrational.
I don't know what voodoo spells Sissoko has cast over Hotspur Way that seems to trick multiple managers into giving him minutes. Lunacy.
Obviously I didn't expect much from a novice 29 year old manager but then expecting him not to be a complete fucking moron is not asking that much is it?

Potatoes conduct electricity. Could suffice as your alternator, right?
One of the ways you beat a superior team is by at least trying to outwork them. We werent even close. Plus from the kick off we had 11 players in our half. Thats exactly what weve been doing for 18 months. No change.
People here saying oh city are great we only lost 1 nil. Well im sorry thats not the mentality i want anymore. Its what has us where we are and have been for a long time
Chris Powell is a born and bred spurs fan.
When asked on a radio interview years ago when still playing what his plans after retiring were he said
"I'll probably get a season ticket for whl"
This whole situation is of levys making.
The man's a dunce when it comes to football.
Mason showed today why he cannot be our future manager.
Against Pep (one of the best) he simply looked out of his depth.
That's fine though this is his 2nd ever game. He's 29 too. Its not a problem. But he has to develop somewhere else first.
Too many errors today
- Taking Lucas off when he played well
- Sissoko sub
- Keeping Winks and Son on
- No Ndombele
- Team lineup wasn't good
- Tactical setup wasn't good
Yes they are. I haven't been intentionally wallowing in misery like some people here, but I definitely read something earlier write that the only reason he got the job was sympathy for his head injury.
i think you will find options everywhere he did well, thank you Ryan
What? You think he did well?? Cmon.. Awful substitutions cost us.
Taking off Lucas and Lo Celso are 2 link up players for Sissoko and Bale who did nothing. Not good subs at all.
This is the worry. I honestly don't think he has. I can honestly see Mason taking charge of the opening game next season. It's fucking scary.
I wouldn't rule it out either, if we do sneak into the top 4 especially it will save Levy a huge investment in a new manager. Even top 6 and it's an option.
There’s no way Ryan mason is manager next season. 0% chance
I don’t think the implication was that it was due to sympathy. just that it was causally connected.
Absolutely. He's been a bit naughty there to be honest
That's the difference. They don't do half arsed. That's why they get the trophy and we don't.
The players just aren't showing the desire to win.
worrying that people actually put managerial experience down as an excuse for starting winks
Not starting wanks is basic common sense. You can't teach common sense.
