We move the ball from side to side and when a player finally tries to bring it forward, he bunches up with another one of our forwards and we lose the ball. Repeat.
It's basic stuff that should be coached out. But this tosser of a manager is totally out of his depth and shows no sign of changing. Does he even turn up for training? Does he ever talk tactics or do they just throw another yabbie on the barby and sink a few beers.
 
Ange got some big questions to answer, this game was exactly the same as Fulham away. 2-0 down at HT, didn’t make subs, immediately concede then the games over.

Starting badly is one thing but waiting too long to change it is even worse, especially when it’s exactly the same as the last away game.

Even after the subs nothing much has changed. We look lost...

The game’s over, making subs at 1-1 home to Forest is not the same as 3-0 away at Newcastle. The game died as soon as the third goal went in.
 
At what point do, we start questioning the manager.
I think it's more down to the players available!

We need strengthening in a lot of positions this summer, that's for sure.

But i think he needs to have a rethink around the inverted fullbacks system. We're getting carved open time and time again, and not just against the top teams.
 
Only spurs could make progress on last season and still make me fucking miserable
Mate, they downed tools last season cause the manager told them for being shite. Same as they did with Jose, Poch. So yeah of course we finished 8th but really we could've done much better.

Ange's improved our attacking metrics and we've scored more goals & points, but as I said above if the squad hadn't shamefully given up last year, no way we were finishing 8th...so Ange improving our league position has got to have some context.

We've also been utter shite at the back...how many goals conceded, so few clean sheets...and some players clearly gets passes despite awful form.

So perhaps he ain't the Messiah some have claimed cause he's a great PR man.
 
The turn on him is also happening at typical lightning pace.

For all the wafting on people do about wanting to build something with a manager, the bulk want them gone within a season if the results don’t go the way they want.

The same people that turn on managers and show that they have no clue of what it takes to build something good are the same ones that complain about never winning anything...

as useless as this performance.

The only ones that get a pass are the ones that stick the blame where it belongs... the owners that oversee the same mind-numbing pattern every year.
 
without richy we have ZERO box threat. they are looking to play the ball in as close to goal as possible, without having good enough players to do it. its an ugly watch. everyone trying to play like a pep side without the ingredients.
 
Fucking hell, when we lose, we FUCKING lose, don't we??

shut the crowd up for the first 20 minutes and build on it... we couldn't even do that, let alone conceded twice in a minute... what did they THINK that was gonna do to the atmosphere...

they'll see this out, and maybe pick off a 4th if they fancy it... we have no fight, no desire, no passion, no fucking nothing...
we don't even look good enough to score 0, let alone pull anything out of this game!
 
If Pochettino was still manager the score would be 3-0 to Spurs right now. Poch would be in his favourite funeral suit or cotton jumper with smart dinner trouser combo. Gleaming from the sidelines, watching on at his favourite sons.

This would have been light work. He woulda made Argentinian steaks outta this lot.
