Because our bench is shitWhy does he never get subbed?
Nah, I’m sure less anally retentive people know what I’m mean.U said "WINNING" and "formula".......... Wanna try again?
Kulu @ #10 was one game where a) we didn't win and b) our play vastly improved when we reverted to a 3 man MF of Biss, GLC & PEH.
People were singing Johnson's praises just a few days ago! Amazing how reactionary people can be.100%. Complete waste of money and some say we don’t spend money.,
its a huge fucking problem to us right now. teams will love that we dont cross the ball or have anyone in the middle to get onto one. never have to panic.Prbly not bcos his so far in field his never out wide left to cross. Add two wingers on opposite side to their natural foot we have zero crossing. Less said about kulus crossing the better.
Of course we are and any team losing so many players like that would be affected
Thing is Ange is gonna get this a lot more. We were lucky to start the season like we did. Remember Leeds when they first came up started ok but 2nd season fell off. I hope I’m wrong but Ange has got to show more as a coach than simply say “this is who we are”. How many ficki g times have we scored more than 2 goals in a game this season? Just twice and we drew 3-3 and the other v Burnley where we still let in 2 and they were getting walloped in most games. Have we won many games 2-0? Ange is great but to me if this carries on with no real change in tactics, personnel, formations, tweaks in games then I can only see this going one way. Look we only fucking beat SU 2-1 with two injury time winners with our first 11. They just got smashed 5-0 by Burnley.Schooled by David fucking Moyes
This is definitely one of those low moments
His narrow build up from the back seems fundamentally flawed. Too often a defender is alone and looking for a pass, and the FBs are narrow, in the shadow of the opposition forwards, and so we have to watch Vicario standing around with one foot resting on the ball.What was what? .........To park the bus after 25 mins and our first goal?
I think he’s quite open and honest about it.
He has a fundamentally Corinthian approach to the game. Putting on a show and playing in the ‘right way’.
ENIC are going to have to both hold their nerve and back him.
Only took Kulu 87 mins to cross the ball in.
Dear godNot to go down a melt road because I’m sure we will be fine.
BUT
I’m convinced the Spurs business model is based on the fact that negative emotions are more addictive than positive ones.
Going to fuck the season off for a bit until we start winning. Not bothering with any other prem games either. It’s all a bit numb and meh this year.
NO the real.problem is this system only works if you have the right players. We only have 11 so when you bring in Skipp, Gil, etc it all goes to shit.
Rinse and repeat the villa gameWhat’s the summary guys? Missed it tonight. Will watch the replay tomorrow. Gutted after seeing we were 1-0 up earlier.
Shouldn’t we be looking for revenge v them after getting smashed by them last season. Although we couldn’t even smash spam after what they have done to us in recent seasons.1 point from 5 games with a newcastle looking for revenge on sunday.
Didnt ange just tweak players and tactics on sunday away to the european and league champions with half a team?Thing is Ange is gonna get this a lot more. We were lucky to start the season like we did. Remember Leeds when they first came up started ok but 2nd season fell off.

One of those midfielders he never really has as he was injured already.We need to all remember this is Ange’s first season implementing a radically different play style to what we have been playing with for several years and we have lost our 2 best midfielders and starting centre back to long term injury - it’s tough going for Ange but I have full faith in the project.
What’s sadder is he will have the fans turning on him & wanting him out. Despite the fact he never had the tools to succeed like those who came before. They always turn on the manager.Such a painful, painful result. First time we’ve lost 3 home games in a row since 2004…
Ange’s honeymoon period is very much over. I’m a huge fan of his but he’s not a miracle worker. There are still far too many turds in that team to allow us to be confident of avoiding results like this, and to compound that fact is he has lost the best turd polisher in the team over the last number of seasons (Kane) with no replacement given to him.
He’s up shits creek with no canoe.
