Look at Gallagher. What the fuck were we thinking.

I think tel is going to be very good eventually. It might not last a long time but at some point he will match up his skills and his output. Wouldn’t be the first French winger to take a while to get it all together.

Spurs' player acquisition is entirely opportunistic and not based on a plan. Look at Solomon, Xavi, Eze, Gibbs-White, Palhinha. It's not joined up thinking, it's spotting a bargain.

Yes.

Watch Archie go down at some point next season after being massively overplayed for two years despite still being a teenager.

Waiting almost the entirety of January to get Ange another centre half was criminal. That's when I gave up on Levy completely.

If Spurs get relegated then sacking Ange after winning a major trophy will go down in history as the worst decision in the club’s history & one of the all time blunders in the sport’s history. Lange & Levy should go down alongside Campbell & all fans who wanted him out should feel this worst

Exactly the comparison. Nuno was a bad call, but having missed on Conte he had to get someone in. Levy was deeply flawed but he was at least decisive.

Wonder if Pochettino would even be interested in managing in the Championship.

Vinai/Lange must also to some extent know they are entirely out of their depth, so any acknowledgement of weakness risks unravelling the whole thing. Someone confident of themselves doesn't sit on their hands after losing to West Ham.

Each injury crisis lays the foundations for the next one. The players who do stay fit get overplayed, the others get rushed back.

Absolutely. The absolute best case scenario was a Nuno-style short term dalliance which didn't do too much damage. Appointing a small, bitter man with absolutely no charisma and no experience of elite football in the wake of sacking Ange post trophy win was insane on its face.

If you believed that, which the board presumably did, the correct replacement for Ange would be a high standards guy. An elite, experienced manager. Instead we got work experience Thomas.

If you require treatment you have to be subbed off. Safety first

The amount of people who have mentioned it, it clearly had an impact.

The leadership has absolutely shown that they are not fit for purpose, no matter what happens. What was the last good decision they made (you can't pick sacking Frank)? If post-Levy is a distinct era, it's an unbroken string of failure.

What can the justification be for leaving tel out? He’s the only one that runs at people with any sort of threat. We need goals!

wow, who knew tel was a player?

oh, right, everyone with functioning eyes.

Gallagher is useless

The stamp? They barely mentioned it on the broadcast. Madness

Highest paid player at the club on fire early

I also think it gives them nothing to hide behind. People aren’t going to blame him if things go wrong. They’ll blame the board

Hopefully just almost

Seems consistent with everything they’ve done so far

Hopefully he’s busy updating his resume

Alan Brazil (yes, I know) says we haven't even contacted him yet.

that he blew a 2 goal lead in the super cup by going into a defensive crouch so early in the match was a flashing red light to many of us.

any injured players we had to begin the season were more than capably replaced (kudus, xavi, rkm). simply, frank’s tactics were most to blame for our failure.

Should never

So he acknowledges he wasn't trying to win?

Exactly. If the surface at the new ground was simply contributing more wear and tear, you wouldn't necessarily see more injuries there only more injuries overall. We are seeing a lot of injuries overall.
