Yet there will still be nonsensical posts like "jUsT nOt GoOd EnOuGh", like we didn't have Richie and Johnson in our attack doing nothing and tons of players out injured.
Really getting fucking sick of this
Insufferable.
I see the vision with Frank.
Our build up play was decent, though its unfortunate our attacking options are really limiting us due to injuries and generally poor performances.
Give him a few windows and we will be much improved, its a process in which we will need to be patient.
We had chances tonight but were let down by poor individual decisions and errors, not really much Frank can do about that in my opinion.
Only concern personally is our home form that needs to improve - its a necessity for any manager of the stature at Spurs so we will see on Saturday. Must win personally.

What would you have done tonight to ensure we beat Newcastle in their own stadium with the team we had and the team they had with the bench they could use?
I'll wait right here.
The reason he's wed to Bentancur is when it goes up to the third it invariably comes back as we have dolts up there.
So he hedges with Bents in MF.
In 4 weeks time we should have most of our players back and he can hopefully begin to design a sharper weapon to use.
He can only work with what he has been given.
A weak squad full of injury prone players and bad attitudes.
Some of the players who had a chance to start tonight and shine and they didn't turn up. Not only that, they allowed themselves to be bullied.
Not sure what you expect him to do right now when the players are letting us all down as usual.
Youre right.
Its a shame for Frank personally considering he has to utilise such an unreliable squad, either sustaining injuries including the likes of Romero and Udogie or expensive signings that have missed the mark for previous managers, and continue doing so.
If there is any frustration from fans, it should be towards that unreliability even despite the unintention of those injuries occurring.
Why is Solanke and Kulu out for so long? Especially Solanke? Its unfair but Spurs paid massive amounts of money only for him to be out for months. Ridiculous really.
I always liked it as a chance for both sets of fans to experience the semi - imagine not having had that 5-1 against that lot. We would’ve gone out without two legs.
It would be ridiculous if he was rambling on about socks, for sure.
He isn’t going to throw the players under the bus is he?
Fucking hell, he has to start Richy and Johnson. Two players who before a ball was kicked we all know wouldn’t deliver for him.
How many chances does Richie need to score? He could have had a hat trick in the first half alone!!!!
Why are we not just throwing someone like Dane in the mix last night - literally couldn’t have done any worse , I don’t think we looked to bad last night as the team was creating chances , however I’m a bit annoyed at Frank for not giving more youth players a chance
Half the team was young players.
Xavi - 22
Bergvall - 19
Sarr - 23
Kinsky - 22
Tel - 20
Think how not ready Scarlett must be if he can’t get in ahead of some of these players. I do think he hasn’t been given a decent chance with us though. But there has to be a reason for that. He looks like a goal scorer when I’ve seen him play. Needs to leave for his own career now, we aren’t doing him any favours not letting him go or giving him one.
Meanwhile Chelsea and Woolwich are trusting youngsters that I can 100 per cent guarantee are not more talented than our lads.
Reading a lot of comments on here I think 99% of people think this squad is not great. Some would say a bit shit.
Of course there are the mental 1% who thinks it’s title winning but the less said about them the better.
But with this poor squad depleted by injuries to some of the better more important players I’m not sure what people expect of Frank after a few months.
Does he have players at his disposal bought by 4-6 different managers as well?
Be a bit crazy if that is the case. I’m guessing it’s more likely 4 than 6 though.
Man needs time.
Although a lot of posters claim 10 league games tells them all they need to know. I guess the noise around him not being good enough will only get louder at this point.

Morons are gonna moron.
What I want to know is why do we keep on getting so many injuries? Is it just a hangover from the last manager or is it something worse going on at training?
There’s definitely going to be an element of old injuries / overuse. That’s just the life of a footballer.
But I do wonder if amount of games and the intensity that players are training / playing at now they are just permanently redlining.
Don’t know if gray was muscular injury or a contact injury. We never really get told.
