Being crap in the socialistic NFL has its advantages in giving you the first pick of the following draft. It’s a system designed to provide equity.
Being crap in the EPL has no such advantages.
I'm not though.
I am saying we can't just lay the blame at Levy and ENIC every time we lose a game but do recognise that in the grand scheme of things better decisions needed to have been made
over the last few years.
And you know what, we would still lose games. And then the fault would sit where?
It’s interesting how history is revised isn’t it.
2017 - so with 4 years less experience
Sanchez
Winks
Davies
Trippier
Dier as a CM
Dele Alli.
The best players in the league……..
I had high hopes, sure.
Something had to move after a whole season of entropy.
It was somebody's job to look into their strengths and weaknesses at the time, we had no say over it.
Got no idea why Conte's system is so r ragged, maybe he's still not done with making his points clear.
I’ve just looked it up there and Lewis is 85.
I think we’re onto something here. Mike Brown has come good at 86. Next year is our year.
I have to say when I gave mine up at the end of 2018-19 it was after a lot of soul searching. I really thought hard about if I wanted tickets, how would I get them. I don’t think that is going to be a problem for a while
If you can see a club that is ambitious, heading in the right direction and has a plan then you can take defeats. When it looks like a rudderless ship, with 5 years of dreadful decisions, from manager to manager then i'd suggest the main problem is elsewhere. Doesnt mean you cant question manager or players but its skirting around the main issue.
Of course you can't blame them for individual errors or isolated defeats.
But when a club of our size suffers its longest trophy drought in generations as we stumble on with a shockingly threadbare squad defeats like the last two will be more commonplace and more likely to happen.
If managers who win consistently at every previous club they manage start stumbling and bumbling when they come to Spurs it's as clear as day there's an underlying problem within the hierarchy of the club.

84 I think.
Anyone know what age his parents reached?
Edit: Just checked. He's 85
Nah, Lloris earned his new contract and is a good goalkeeper. He had an absolute stinker but it usually only happens a couple of times a season. I watched Alisson put in a 0/10 performance vs City, he's still a great GK. Lloris isn't quite that good, but he is capable. If we had a squad mostly on his level we'd be fine.
The issue isn't Lloris had one of his rare bad days. The issue is the rest of the team didn't step up, which happens regularly. We didn't control the game, our defenders let them have easy opportunities to shoot, we didn't score a goal. These are consistent issues in this side.
Take the Lloris performance out of the equation. It's still a shit 0-0 draw, at best, in a home game having just lost to Southampton and with City away up next. But it seems you wanna focus on the bad performance from a keeper, rather than how awful we looked as a team.
Good God that just compounds what a super human effort it was by the man.
If ever a manager earned their song from the fans!
Largest trophy drought at a time when Chelsea and City have taken spending to insane levels. When United had their greatest manager of all time as did Woolwich.
I get it and it's shameful but we have had chances and we failed the many tests.
I do not completely disagree but I am unconvinced that anything would placate the fury of those fans who seemingly equate expenditure to success.
Yes it's part of it but the harsh reality is that we have bought poorly more than we haven't bought.
3 years ago today we were beating Dortmund 3-0 with Aurier, Sanchez, Foyth, Winks and Sissoko in the starting 11 and yet i increasingly see him being blamed for our issues, 2.5 years after he was sacked.
And just realised I didn’t even mention our back up striker in 2016.
Mr Vincent Janssen. Striking fear into Premier League defences all over the land.
Likened to a young Jimmy Greaves in Spurs folklore. Says no one ever.
Levy and Co are 100% at fault they have no clue. The fact is his awful management at the top and zero idea what type of team we want to be. Being utterly devoid of any kind of blueprint for how we want to play. We have gone from a pressing manger to a tactically organised counter attacking manager to asking a defensive manager to play attacking football and finally to another counter attacking manager. Then there is the buying policy where we went from trying to sign Isco to signing Sissoko these players are not similar. Then in the last transfer window we went from signing a left winger to signing a right winger and Cm
Good post mate. But paragraphs are key :contethumb:
It was just my rant
