I want to live in that universe!They are in touch with Poch behind the scenes and will coordinate the Jan transfer window with him so that when he arrives in the summer he's got a head start in terms of squad development.
That is what's happening in MY universe.
Had the sense that Brenford coming out flat and disorganized played a nonnegligible part in what in hindsight was a false dawn, but tried to cling on to some discernible changes in team shape and mentality as evidences of a change of direction. Right back to square one.
The fact that he still adheres to this highly simplistic view that putting more bodies behind the ball and stifling players' passing and movement will automatically lead to better defense irrespective of how good you're at keeping the ball away from your goal through ball retention and attacking play is infuriating.
That's 20 goals conceded in the last 12 league games [out of 16 overall] now: On pace for 63 in a full season with a fully intact backline. When's the penny going to drop that he needs to attack better to actually defend better, as somewhat evidenced by the clean sheets of the previous two games before this one?

Hard to see what there is to believe in.
We aren't good enough to qualify for Europe
We won't beat Villa in the cup
We will lose to the first decent CL team in the knockout rounds
It's all a bit futile isn't it

He'd probably have them right where they are because they're the best built squad in the league. Legohead has had seven years to buy players who all fit his system. Meanwhile, we're stuck with a squad that's a mishmash of Conte, Ange, and now Frank, all of whom have completely different tactics.
Unless he thinks winning the conference with Palace is a dream come through then I'm not sure what else he can achieve there? He's already won them an FA cup and since then has lost Eze. Club will be listening to bids for Guehi in January. Wharton and Mateta will both be sold in the summer.
Spurs might not be better than palace right now, but the potential is there for us to grow and compete on all fronts. The football pyramid means Glasner has already hit his ceiling at palace and I reckon he is smart enough to know that.
Zero attacking patterns after 7 months in charge, how could anyone enjoy being part of that?
Yeah, changed vote to OUT now. The players are the main problem but I want an absolute tyrant next, someone able to kick some fucking lazy arses and drop a few of the big names indefinitely and demand replacement.
I’ve said it since day one, this man is not a Tottenham manager
The team mirror his personality, they play scared to lose, but end up losing anyway
We need to realise we’ve made a mistake and move on

If he can’t get us defensively solid at the very least he’s absolutely fucked.
That was supposed to be his strength.

I'm still clinging on to the hope they sell the club in the new year and the first thing the new owners do is ditch Thomas Frank and put their own man in place. Poch or otherwise.They are in touch with Poch behind the scenes and will coordinate the Jan transfer window with him so that when he arrives in the summer he's got a head start in terms of squad development.

Either the players aren't listening to him, or he's straight up lying. Both sackable offences though.
We've been saying tbis for ages, what potential have we shown over the past few years.
We are not that attractive club unless we spend money and buy better, up to the Lewis family to change that..not sure they will though.
alonso to Liverpool slott to Tottenham could happen
Not even about spending money at this point. We spent a small fortunate on players for Ange just to finish 17th in the league.
Spending the money isn't the problem. It's the talent identification and never giving any manager (other than Ange) enough time to build a cohesive squad.
