I’m honestly getting sick of this club. The reality is that the excellent start is covering over some awful defeats.

This team cannot defend. And when you can’t defend and can’t score….

Remember no club has ever started so well and NOT finished top 4. We are on track to do just this now.

Fulham won every ball and Ange just stood there. It’s baffling what his tactics are at times. Sometimes you need to stop the bleed. But he can’t seem to do it, we were on the ropes and didn’t cover up at all.

Brighton away 4-2. Wolves lost to them twice. Shipped how many goals now ? The only reason he is in the job still is that fast start to the season, that’s going to read brutal and at times it’s been lovely to watch, but consistency is missing, and it’s so important at the highest level. If you can’t win do what you must to draw or protect your GD. Didn’t even do that. Again !

What a waste of time.
Nuno, Jose & Conte would've had their own # a long time ago, but Ange is a nice guy, trust the process, wait & see what happens next year etc etc.
 
Bissouma and Sarr made a genuine case for Hojbjerg to start alongside Bentancur next game, that was an horrendous showing in midfield.

We were shit all over to be honest.

Romero the only one who seemed to atleast win the majority of his battles
 
By the way, every fucker here who seems to take pleasure in what happened today can fuck right off.
Nobody is taking any pleasure from this, we all sick to fucking death of being Spursy. No other teams go out one week and win a tough away game 4-0 and then the very next week literally not turn up to a man and gets spanked by fucking Fulham

There is something seriously rotten at the heart of this club.
 
You can't just ignore the first 10 games of the season because it doesn't suit your narrative.
There's been talk all season about the start of the year being a very kind intro up to the Chelsea game...it's been different since. Now we've got like the 7th toughest (will try and find the source) end of the season run to go starting with Luton.
 
The excellent start enhances this exaggerated idea we've made great progress.
Our points per game since Chelsea at home as been on a par with the second half of last season.
Excellent point. I know how I felt when we shipped 3 goals away to fucking Southampton. Pretty similar tonight. A whole year on.
 
At the moment we are not consistent enough, I still think we have made alot of progress however I do think at times teams create way too many chances against us.

The players were most likely set up to play the same as we did last weekend but executed the plan poorly. Ange should have made subs quicker.

Not a good day. Couple of weeks now to the next game.
 
It stems from the top, there is no expectation or requirement from the board to the players to win trophies, the requirement is to try and get CL football, fill the stadium and stay on the gravy train. The punters are expected to buy the four kits every season, fork out for the most expensive tickets in world football.

And you still get gormless twonks on here buying into the next Five year plan.

It's ok though... We play exciting football.

It's high time everyone recognized the problem and gets on the Levy out train.

These performances will keep coming because there is no demand or drive from the top to win things, it's that fucking simple.
Any chance you from South Africa? Haven't heard the use of the word "gormless" in ages. But I couldn't agree more. Too many Accountants and Tourists supporting Spurs and too few of us 'Die Hard' Supporters.
 
Spot on

But isn't it very worrying that Fulham players are showing more desire than our lot considering what's at stake .

Do they just not care enough ?

Playing under pressure isn’t easy. That’s what separates the best teams from the rest. Anyone can play well when there’s nothing at stake, Fulham played with freedom today because it didn’t matter if they lost. They were up for it and played without fear.

Whereas our lads were intimidated by the way Fulham started and fell apart after the first goal went in. Toughening these players up is the big challenge for Ange as it was for all our managers. Even Redknapp used to complain that we were too quiet, too nice, too soft.

Sarr just had a bad game. It happens. More than enough credit in the bank.

But Biss' form is a concern.
