Match Tottenham Hotspur vs the scum @white hart lane 15/09/2024 2.00PM

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

The quick turnaround of games now might suit us hopefully. The penny needs to drop fast. I expect us to put 4 or 5 past a team soon! Coventry, Brentford and Qarabag next 3 games. It needs to be 3 wins now. This can't happen again
 
Ange has to take the bulk of the blame for this result (and previous games too).

If you don’t have the players for the tactics you want to use, then you need to have a plan B or C. The quality of the opposing coaches and players in the PL are a whole lot better than those he has faced in the past.

I’m surprised that he hasn’t already realised this after having a season here.
 
Simply embarrassing performance and result at home against a weak Woolwich side.

Ange on borrowed time now.
Thing is , who do you replace him with ? Does it even matter , we’ll finish 6 or 7th . Regardless of the manager our mentality is weak & half arsed which I believe stems from the top of the club

Maybe we should just concentrate of property development 😩
 
Great post & totally agree. Eze was a no brainer to me. We are crying out for creativity. But as you say, you can get Werner & the Burnley kid instead. We pay wages that get you 4-6th. Never going to break the bank on a truly top player & actually try to win the title with real determination.
The fact we never signed Eze when he was right there for the taking is all the evidence you need that we will never seriously compete for top honours under this ownership.
 
We have four points from a possible 12. We beat the worst team in the league and that's it.
The team huffs and puffs but delivers nothing, it's been going on since December.
Nothing has changed and we are sick of it, nice man but has been over promoted.
He will be gone by end of November probably.
He won't be gone by November. Jesus are you alright? Why would we sack him? Whats the alternative? Do people think before they type? I joined this forum to get away from idiots on twitter.... I was hoping it worked!
 
The most frustrating thing for me is we had a free run at eze,he was there for the taking,would have been so good for us.Even Steve parish said he was surprised no one came in for him.
Exactly. Id get it if city or united were making big bids on him. He’s a London lad too. We end up spending more on a few average players in the end anyway . So shortsighted & foolish.

As I said, we have been incredibly unfortunate to have 4 points from 12 - it's not as though we've played badly to get to that position.

I fully agree that we need to be more decisive in the final third, we need to defend set pieces better, and we need Romero to concentrate for 90+ minutes, but all that aside, by every analytic and 'pundit eye test' summary, we were unlucky not to win our first 3 games. If that carries on then yes of course Ange will be gone by November - you can't keep claiming bad luck infinitely - but that definitely has been a huge factor so far.
 
That sucked so I'm annoyed like everyone else, but man this is tough to watch. I thought it was supposed to be exciting?

LIke Groundhog Day. We get possession, pass around the box and maybe have an entry pass that will either immediately be blocked by the entire team of defenders sitting deep, or passed back out wide to pass around the box again. We'll do that for a few minutes, then have a break away against that may end up in a chance or a corner. At some point the opponent cashes in and we're scored against. All the stats are pretty, but we play the same game every week and without scoring....again.

I don't understand the need for speedy wingers when the way we set up totally nullifies that asset.

Does anyone else get tired of screaming "FFS somebody shoot!!" ?

Trying to stay positive as I think we've got some good young talent, but man waiting for them to actually get used while watching the scenario above is getting painful.

I'm going outside for a break and to shake my fist at the clouds some.
