Paul Coyte is awful tooI just can't quite fathom where he sprang from.... Up pops Spursplay and with it some guy going by a pub nickname that were expected to buy as some loved club-rooted personality ("Good ol' Milesy" yadda)......
Paul Coyte he is not.
He annoys the tits off me tbh..... Just all a bit too over chummy.
There is nothing wrong with valid criticism though the fans were here before him and will be here when he goes , also let’s be honest has been deserved some of it - however yesterday was definitely a step in the right direction , people might say Brentford were poor but I think that was down to us, they couldn’t live with us!Maddison was laughing at the Ange hate in his interview. Clearly the team loves the gaffer and the project.
Be nice if some of the cunts on here tried doing the same
Yes didn’t post during the game as watching at the same time and posting is not easy. Thought we played much better although didn’t realise we had less of the ball. We got into some great situations but again the final ball or decision making let us down. Pressed well except for a period in 2 nd half where we were under the cosh. It’s at those times we need on the side to do something and the players as well. Think they played into our hands a bit. As I was surprised how much they tried to play out from the back. They got through their own third but we were very good at winning the ball back around half way line. This is what I have been saying we should drop back a bit and try to win the ball in the middle third. Anyways was an entertaining game albeit v Brentford. Think we should employ same tactics v manure.Just got back, just seen goals on replay.
Observations....
1) we won the game with less possession than the opposition
2) we scored all 3 after winning the ball and getting into the scoring position quickly with minimal passes
3) we worked hard to win the ball back and have chances quickly rather than ponderously passing it about for 50-60 passes on the whole
4) our defending scared me
5) despite mostly dominating, Brentford could have got something out of the game until the very end
6) I don't understand how our defending is so comical
7) heard most areas sing Johnson off the pitch..... and some idiots behind me twisting the words to moan about him being weak
8) all round improvements, well done team.
Oh MADDs was by miles our best player. Shame Spence didn’t get any mins when he put Archie on.Yes didn’t post during the game as watching at the same time and posting is not easy.

Why does always move / sway when interviewing? He never stands still. He also asks some real arse linking questions. It’s like being in communist country everyone works for the politbureauIt's not only Ange. I can't stand him. What a creeparse. If he sat next to me in the pub, I'd move.
GB news' chief sports journalistPaul Coyte is awful too
To borrow a fantastic phrase from the one and onlybus-conductor , he's a bumptious cunt
But I thought Ange was stuck in his ways?Slight tactical tweaks.
Maddison further forward and slightly to the left, Son abit more central. Porro and Udogie still inverted but not as much.
Almost a 442 at times
Knew he worked for talksport but wasn't aware of GB news
I have to say I love Coyte. Spurs through-and-through a professional broadcaster. I love the way he reads out our squad, it's really crowd-rowsing. His HT interviews, considering he interviews the same people every few games, are always interesting.Paul Coyte is awful too

I was at Newcastle and their announcer was so boring.
The poor start being conceding a worldie? That was clearly a unique goal after 25 seconds. I don’t hold much store by that.We were good today. Nothing else to say. Brentford are a decent team and can be dangerous, but we swatted them aside after a very poor start. Long way to go but it's a start.
