Tactics go out the window when you’re chasing a game .
Fulham went 2 up
Liverpool went 2 up
Villa went 2 up
These are home games and then we have nothing to lose.
This guy was meant to make us hard to beat , no ?
Season is over in January , what a waste of a season ticket .

I was all for his appointment, but all he has done since day one is annoy the fuck out of me. Even down to his annoying face chomping on chewing gum.

He recently said he wasn't enjoying the job. Well we're not enjoying you, Thomas. I'd possibly find more enjoyment being wanked off by Freddy Krueger.

The Ange and Frank PPG are so poor.

So did we:
1. Hire two bad managers
2. Expect too much from them considering the squad
3. Have a lot of bad injuries
4. All of the above

I think all of the above personally, but mostly 2

I think we have been terrible at squad building and expected too much from two pretty poor managers. In Frank's case he just isn't suited to Spurs so if the results aren't good he doesn't get much runway.

Come on let's get Xavi Hernandez......instant respect from the players, he will transform our style of play, fans will begin to have some hope, he will have the rest of the season to identify the players he needs to move forward next season.

Imagine if Xavi Hernandez calls to convince you to join the club. Total legend respected all over the world

Agree, and let's hope the board would have enough trust and respect in him to give him the money he will want to build a successful side, otherwise there's a fair chance we will just continue in this ridiculous cycle only half a dozen places higher.

I do feel for him a bit though , we sell Brennan without getting a replacement in and then Kidus gets injured and we have just signed some random 19 year old left back , had we signed a proper replacement for BJ maybe they come on at 60 yesterday instead of playing Dane out of position.

I don’t ever think Frank is the one for us however as every other manager he is fighting with 1 hand tied behind his back

I do not understand this man’s substitutions, again today when we had them on the rack, he completely fucked up the aggression and momentum we had.

Just baffling.

Reminded me a bit of PSG in the final tbh , maybe he’s worried about injuries , where did they get 4 minutes of extra time from as well? Should have been about 9 minimum , still wouldn’t have made
Much difference as the subs killed it

I think both are/were very poor choices. Clearly there hasnt been much if any research on either because both have such obvious flaws tactically. But both talk a great game, can be charming and this was probably enough to wow the gullible idiots in charge at interview stage.

Having said that the last 2 summer windows were pretty desperate, so many first and second targets missed and the injuries have been diabolical. There hasnt been anywhere near enough squad churn. Whoever comes next is picking up a mess we have to get it right or we could really be in genuine trouble the next year or two.
 
I reckon he might last until West ham , if we lose that it will be be so toxic he will have to go I think . Helping West Ham get relegated is all we have left this season , unless for some reason you think we can win the CL or get top 6/7 . If you do think that I suggest you start taking your meds
 
If the rumours I'm reading this morning are true then this has to be the worst managerial appointment ever. I'm after reading that it could cost us nearly 20m pounds to sack Frank. What the fuck is wrong with our owners!! I'm convinced Vinai is on a sabotage job

We paid Brentford nearly 15m in the Summer as compensation to get him! Now we are looking at paying 20m to sack him. And the talk is he's on an 8m a year contract. And we are likely going to have to pay off all his staff too. This is a 50m mistake!!!

How stupid were our owners to be so sure that Frank was the right man. To pay 15m to Brentford to get him and to agree to give 20m compensation if we needed to sack him duing the first season! It's hilarious. After getting nearly every manager appointment wrong for the last 20 years, you'd think they'd have atleast had some get out clause incase they picked the wrong manager again! And if Frank demanded that release clause then he clearly has no confidence in his ability and shouldn't have been hired!

It's like an episode of only fools and horses. Absolute bluffers running this club and now we've just made a 50m mistake. And worse thing is that the club will probably refuse to own up to this expensive mistake and stick with Frank. We'll keepe digging this hole. No top player will join us under Frank and VDV will leave us under Frank.

If you think things are bad right now, just you wait. Its going to get alot worse before it gets better. Frank is driving us off a cliff and Vinai is holding down the accelerator

I thought I was feeling blue this morning about our steaming turd of a club
 
I didn't expect that much from him especially with the summer signings but I at least hoped he would make us harder to beat which for me is a decent starting point .Unfortunately even with the injuries he hasn't achieved that and little sign things will improve .I don't give that much credit for a couple of decent second half showings, it's little use when we are a couple of goals down and lose the game anyway .Our home form is utterly deplorable and is embarrassing for a club of our supposed status.
 
We lose the next 2 league games and we are in a relegation scrap, there’s always 1 side that gets sucked in.

West Ham beat us and they go 10 points behind with Sunderland at home next - if we then lose at Burnley and they reduce that gap to 7 then their tails will be up whilst our confidence will be rock bottom. If we can’t win against those 2, Forest and Wolves then who can we beat?

These 2 are huge and I’m crapping it with Frank because we’re abysmal
