Newcastle away is a top 4 decider imo. Will we have the bottle to get top 4? Just feel with conte it's like his last season at chelsea...a damp squib. Dont think it was a penalty either. VAR generous. Schoolboy tackle by sarr though.
We will bottle it at Newcastle, in fact we have started the bottling run in today, so wheels are ready to fall off.
 
How come a defensive manager can't get us to defend
Because our defenders are shit?

And he STILL insist on playing this defensive system, mind-boggling!

This guy is literally BEGGING to be sacked, but Levy/Paratici is just refusing! Self-sabotage at the highest order.

I've said since New Years, that for every game now we keep Conte, our chances of top-4 will diminish.

If you can't win against Wolves, and a bottom of the league Southampton when 3-1 up and their both CB's out, you won't get top-4
 
Danjuma must be delighted he joined Spurs.

All Top 4 does is make ENIC richer. It won’t result in us signing premium talent. It won’t result in anything now but the same old same old.

And Far too many players have been at Spurs far too long. The reason for that is that the board don’t like to spend to achieve. Top 4, with the absolute minimum of Spend is the business objective and it’s fucking rancid.
 
40 goals conceded by the team run by the tactical master which is the worst in the top 12. Even Everton have let in fewer. When your back line is poor you surely try to keep the ball away from them so don’t get outnumbered in the midfield placing more pressure on the suspect defence. Elite manager my arse.
It really does seem strange , that everyone can see this , bar the one in charge !

They won't get it
 
Agreed, but both narratives can exist along side one another:

We got robbed by a terrible decision, but on the balance of play we didn't deserve to win anyway because it was a terrible performance. Both are true surely.
Yeah, but the fact is that despite our lackluster performance we were on course to get all 3 points and move up to 3rd.

By the laws of the game, those 3 points were ours. The injustice of what the refs have done, and KEEP DOING is far more eggregious.

Over the course of a 38 game season you are ALWAYS going have at least a dozen closely fought games, be it relegation fodder or super teams. City beat Palace 1-0 a few days ago, imagine that cancelled out by a dubious pen for Palace?

Wolves lost 2-1 against Newcastle in a tightly fought game, where Pope got away with a certain pen, and a 4 game ban. That impacted the next game where Forest lost 2-1, and in significant part thanks to a Pope super save.
 
The next manager will be someone completely unsuited to us but a big name. Tuchel or Luis Enrique who will need players we don’t have and won’t buy. We will be back here in 12-18 months looking for the new manager who will probably be Simeone.

All the while the football will be eye bleeding.
I can't wait for Luis Enrique to Play Tiki Taka from the back with Foster passing to Dier, then to Lenglett, then to .......damn we've given the ball away.
 
Get poch in over international break to stimulate push for top 4.
Then don't sign a single player in the summer transfer window if we make it.

It would be a disaster. Might end up worse than Conte as his brand of football needs real technicians that the club won’t buy. Club won’t accept who we are, we aren’t Real Madrid or even Chelsea with tons of cash we are ENIC Spurs. Get a manager that uses young players and like to press and spends there time working with less able players.

Let’s at least make us fun again.
