Ben Davies and Palhinha as your first subs when we're losing a game is trolling of the highest order. Thomas Fraud, fuck off
Think About It GIF by Identity
But we only conceded one after that
 
When there is work in progress, the bare minimum requirement is that its possible to spot some progress. I can't see it. Frank must go. Get someone new in. I should care who, but I'm at the point where I'd be happy to see Southgate come in.
2-0 was at 50 mins. What is he talking about. If he thought that then why not try to do something different. Instead all 5 subs were like for like. Did he throw in the towel at 2-0!
 
Frank

"we lost the ball 20 times, simple passes, that's down to individuals"

hmm, a fair point or no?

it still doesn't explain our inability to create any chances or have any sort of patterns of attacking play.
Stop playing those individuals or some them. Get them to make better choices, give them options in terms of where players are meant to etc.
 
Dyche outcoaching Frank in less time is seriously not a good look, he's preaching that he needs time but how much time has Dyche had?
The time thing is just bollocks ironically to just buy more time in the hope that if you stick around long enough, a couple of world class players will fall into your lap or that the club will spend a billion quid on the squad to make you look good (like they did for Arteta)
 
This.

I get the vibe they just don’t respect him. You’re always on thin ice when that happens
Problem there is, when you DO get a manager in who commands respect (Mourinho/Conte) then they don't respect us!

Ref was awful as well, he kept on giving us decisions for some reason, I can see why the Forest fans were fuming lol

I don't really want to hear about the conspiracies with refs being against us anymore tbh
Ref was probably our best player yesterday!
Only WE could still lose a game with 12 MEN!
"Keep doing the right things "

What right things would that be
then ?
You gotta do the right things in the FIRST place, to be able to KEEP doing them!

Fuck my life.... THIS CLUB!

In Frank's post match presser he actually said that when it went 2-0 it was game over for us.


I mean for fucks sake........ 2-0 with 40 minutes left and the manager himself said he believed it was game over then.

With 40 minutes left!!!!!!!

Just fucking loser mentality.
 
When are people going to hold the players accountable? We have sacked 5 managers since 2019. It’s the players. It’s the fucking bang average 40 million dollar players that don’t give a damn about playing for spurs. I hope he played the kids from here on out
Im stuck in mddle. The players are shit. Unable to make 5 yard passes. But its frank and his much lauded coaching teams job to improve this. Make them play for him come up with something that at least makes us coherent.
While our players are an embarrassment
 
He made his own bed by keeping most of these players and sending out on loan all our academy players. Im
Sure they would have respected and bust a gut for the club.
I really wish we’d have kept them too, but hindsight is 20:20.

I expect Frank is possibly thinking the same.

I must admit unless they’re seeing something against it, I’d be making sure Dane gets some minutes considering how poor the attack has been. I think Richy has just managed to keep his place by chipping in with the odd goal.
 
Whilst I don’t rate Frank and think he should be replaced, we also need to look at our squad without rose tinted glasses and understand that it’s horribly overrated

VDV and at a push Romero are the only 2 I think other teams would be interested in, everyone else is average or a young prospect

Serious mismanagement in all aspects of the footballing side by the powers at be
 
He's now fallen behind Poch's first season, just.

Frank after 16 matches: 6W 4D 6L, 22 points, 25GF, 21GA, 11th, 6 points behind 4th, 14 points off top.

Poch after 16 matches: 7W 3D 6L, 24 points, 20GF, 22GA, 7th, 4 points behind 4th, 15 points off top.



We Are Doomed Reaction GIF

You’re losing all sense of context.

MW12-16

Poch dumped the senior players and went with Kane, Mason, Bentaleb and Dier amongst others
10 points from a possible 15
Franks Spurs 4 from 15


Then over the Xmas period including a statement win v Chelsea.
MW17 to MW24.
Played 8 Won 6 D1 L1.

Do you honestly see this squad doing something similar right now? 19 points from 24. I just can’t see it. We are not on the way up.

Liverpool H
Palace A
Brentford H
Sunderland H
Bournemouth A
West Ham H
Burnley A
City H

What’s your prediction on points from that run of matches?
 
This.

I get the vibe they just don’t respect him. You’re always on thin ice when that happens

Yeah I get this feeling too. They threw Ange under the bus and are doing it with Frank. So they'll do it with the next bloke.

I keep saying this, but I don’t think people get it. The club is rotten top to bottom and we (the fans) are properly in the shit. Standards seem low, everyone is on the take and out for themselves. The culture is terrible. Manager after manager have said the same thing. Poch, Mourinho, conte and the last two to differing degrees have said or suggested things arent what they should be. At some point we need a manager to take it all on but if that lot couldn’t do it, can Frank? Doubtful isn’t it. I’m not sure anyone is the answer, we need the club sold. Only then will things actually change. Until then we are treading water.
 
What was he going to do, bring on Tel and Johnson to turn things around?

He did and they couldn’t be arsed either. The options are just shocking.

I actually thought the subs and timing v Fulham was worse.
He himself said the game was over at what 50 minutes in? I mean fuck me if that's the attitude and message coming from the boss is it any wonder the players don't give a fuck either?

I am under no illusion that our players are better than they are, we have probably assembled the most bang average squad that I've ever seen but I thought the whole point of bring Frank in was that he would get us well coached, well drilled and improve "lesser" attacking players like he did at Brentford.

Either way I've missed my original point, subs were shit, players are shit, manager is shit and the owners are shit. 🤣

If the players are cunts then drop them.

Play the kids. Come and tell the fans that they are not performing as expected. He won’t accept poor performances and as such will only play those committed.

We are losing games for fun anyway; if we are seeing ideas and fight on the pitch we are more likely to accept what is happening.
 
We all hate on Bissouma but he's lightyears ahead of what our current mids are capable of in terms of progressive press resistant football.

Not replacing him with a WORLD CLASS cm in the summer was a disaster.

I'd love to be able to be able to blame Frank for that. But... just can't. Our midfield reeks of mediocrity. Just as it did for the previous few managers
Bissouma did it once in maybe every 10 games if even that. Been a dreadful signing

He sounded pretty pissed off to me in the post match interview I watched, commenting the players even failed to perform the most simple of passes.
