West Ham Vs Tottenham Hotspur - Sun 21st Feb, 12noon KO - Live on Sky.

really??? you think it wouldnt make much of a difference

Nope not with the managers and the way they approach the game.

Pep has shown he can protect weak CBs by dominating possession.

Jose has shown he will expose defended to countless attacks by giving the ball away and praying. Dias/Laporte are not enough to withstand the pressure Jose invites.

I'm not saying fans are at all responsible for what is going on right now. I'm not blaming the fans for these performances at all.

What I am saying is that a segment of the fanbase should look in the mirror about how they've chosen to support the club since Jose came in. Again, Windy and Nathan from the Extra Inch are the first two that come to mind. I only mention them because they have a somewhat large platform.

Nathan and Windy are not wrong. and I was in agreement. he was never the right fit for Spurs ever.

I can't really say our last 30 minutes were ineffective, slow, or piss poor. I think if that match goes another 10 minutes we equalize and maybe even win. We looked quite dangerous.

I agree, we looked better against a very average west ham team, but that is still not the standard we should be reaching for. It was still very slow football reliant on individual expression. There is very little design to our attack and it shows.

If, if, if, maybe, maybe

Aren’t you tired of trying to find good in hypotheticals rather than what is actually happening on the field?

Can't really call them average when they're 4th 2/3rds of the way into the season.

We were 1st in the table a couple months ago and a segment of the fanbase was still being critical. Obviously things are not good right now and I've said I wanted him to go.

I just find it extremely hypocritical for some to say Jose is the divisive one when the moment he joined the club, they were the ones who refused to give him a chance and were creating a division in the fanbase.

They're the minority tho. Also there's the ones who refuse to see any bad in what he doing. Its us in the middle who he has now lost

I'm just giving what I think is an honest assessment of our performance. I thought we attacked fairly well overall and then in the last 30 minutes we were quite dangerous.

Was it a great performance? No. Did we deserve to win? Probably not. Was it our worst game of football ever? Certainly not.

The point of these threads is to discuss the game no? Not endless cry about the manager and slag off every one of our players.

 

[Legacy Lilywhite]

Must admit im thinking of cancelling it at end of season.

Save yourself 6 months now and hope for a better 2021/22?

 

[Hampshire Spur]

Why are fans criticising jose so much? To be fair he did load vans of food at stadium during 1st lockdown. Thats the only good thing hes done at our club. Joking aside please sack him levy or put him on gardening leave until end of season then pay him off.

 

[Fair man]

He's not spurs , it was never gonna work , the whole of the rest of football knows

That's all they've got

Nathan and Windy are not wrong. and I was in agreement. he was never the right fit for Spurs ever.

I'm not saying hiring Jose has been shown to be the right decision, it looks more and more like the wrong one.

What I am saying is they were wrong to be insanely negative from the very start and they were wrong to never give him a chance.

They have said they go into games now hoping we lose so he might get sacked. I know there is no "right" way to support your club, but I find wanting your team to lose to be pretty poor.

 

[Team Tanguy]

Nathan is just becoming so insufferable honestly.

I want Jose gone too but guy needs to get a grip.

You're the one that needs to get a grip. Nothing but facts in those tweets.

Nathan and Windy are not wrong. and I was in agreement. he was never the right fit for Spurs ever.

Yep. Same for me. Having doubts from the off and being proven unfortunately right is not a badge of honour but it certainly doesn't make us responsibe for this shit show. Its on Levy for appointing him and Mourinho for far exceeding some of our fairly low expectations.

Then fucking play like that the whole time

Did Windy say he wanted us to lose games?
There is nothing wrong with fans having their own opinions and voicing those opinions. Windy was right in this case, as were many others. Not me, as I was very positive about Jose. I didn't notice any negativity from the fans in the ground towards Jose.

so you think by replacing two utter donkeys with two CB's who can actually play football wouldnt make a difference?

yes jose has got a lot wrong, but theres no system that works with the defenders we have. they cant defend or play football. CB's have to have some quality with the ball at their feet as they are constantly on the ball these days with the whole game in front of them, stick two donkeys out there and no wonder the footballs shit! because they dont have the class to set things off from the back! poor decisions, poor weight of pass, poor first touch...sort that out and things will look a hell of a lot brighter...and yes jose is to blame for that as hes had long enough to sort that problem out! we havent looked good since prime toby and jan..two CB's who could actually use the ball!

If West Ham were average what does that say about us .we should sell Kane and son and watch Jose work his magic with his own team

Both he and Nathan said they went into the West Brom match hoping we would lose.

They did say once the match started they wanted us to win, but after we did win, they went back to wishing we had lost.

 

[Team Tanguy]

I imagine Jose would be moaning about the lack of reliable striker City have and you'd be on bluemoon asking "what do you think would happen if Jose had Kane at the Etihad and Spurs had Jesus and a crippled Aguero"

This is so true and deep down the Jose fans know it
