Match Spurs v Barcodes. Saturday 4 January 2025 KO 12:30. Live on TNT

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

A lot of the squad issues, (strength and fitness) is down to the manager.

Spurs have never had such a decimated squad certainly in my lifetime.

Does anyone seriously think that magically the next eighteen games are going to proivide an injury free period under this managers system?

Go look at his time with Celtic.
You have absolutely no proof of that, and you are simply making shit up to substantiate your bias.
 
Deki needs to stop dribbling too much + work on his decision-making. He's been shocking in recent games
Keep saying this he has no real compusure on the ball where he creates time and space for himself and looks up to make a pass. Compare with MADDs who gets in the bal, create a bit space for himself and generally faces forward looking to make a pass. How many balls did he play into space. Kulu doesn’t have that ability hence why I don’t think he is a 10 play maker type.
 
That’s exactly what we are. The league cup is gone because of injuries but the other two are there for us because on our day we can beat anyone. We’d need to be lucky as fuck to navigate our way to winning a cup by playing well in every cup game but it’s possible. My fear is we get dragged down into the group just above relegation. Woolwich and Everton away are not what we need in our next two league games.
Well that's good then, 'cos our luck's been in all season, so far!!! 🙄
 
Ok Mr Intelligent, Analytical, Football Knowing, English Major, Charisma.....

Enlightened us why you believe Bergvall should have been subbed and Bissouma brought on? In your infinate Wisdom, please explain why a CB sits on the bench (Who you endorsed). Why Johnson remained on the pitch? Why we playing out from the back so much with inexperienced teenagers?
Could not agree more about centre back on bench why is he not coming on
 
Another armchair fan who doesn’t understand the word context

I don’t need context. We were poor before injuries and we are relegation level after injuries. Our form is absolutely hideous.

You guys are just utterly deluded and refusing to back down tbh. Will go down till the end. He’s a dead man fucking walking, we are staring down being 14th or so in a few weeks.

There is no ‘context’ which justifies this.
 
This , it’s not this result in isolation - it’s the last season and a half of football.
I honestly think it’s worth gambling on another manager before Ange destroys this good young bunch of potential
I’m with you on that one, mate. At this point, we’ve got enough data and evidence to justify taking the gamble on replacing him. Honestly, he’s had more support and patience than any recent manager, and I’d argue that support wasn’t exactly earned—it’s more of a hangover from past sackings and a reluctance to endure yet another managerial merry-go-round.

And let’s not forget the ‘Big Ange’ factor. His personality has really played into this, some fans have really warmed to him and bought into the ‘Angeball’ hype, which, as I said the other day, is an ideal narrative for Levy to get behind. He gets the feel-good factor of “having our Tottenham back” without having to actually deliver anything of substance.

That will only last so long though because if we don’t have that European money or, at the least, a trophy win. Ange will be hitting the skids.
