I think you need to take the meds early today Mick, them and a nice mug of cocoa. Stick on the telly and we’ll get you a puzzle to complete.
What was alarming about this game was how bad Bissouma and Sarr were, not the fringe players. We need them to get back to their previous level very quickly or the season will unravel.
Mickey is the clincher..... Defense will always be pensive and looking over their shoulders without him to make the high line work.
I'll tell you why. I rarely post here, but you caught me on a bad day.
You post your little “Dier is shit” post, get your tiny endorphin boost from 2 other smooth-brains liking it and then post exactly the same thing 10 minutes later. Seriously, how fucking empty is your life to get joy from that?
Day after day you just jump on the latest bandwagon - Porro can’t defend, Romero is a liability, Son has gone, hey “insert name here” get out of my club.
It’s fucking pathetic - we were 5 minutes from going top of the league after a shit performance after plenty of excellent games. TOP OF THE LEAGUE - and you spent the whole match spitting bile at what are meant to be your own players.
You’ve posted 17,000 times - I doubt very much you’ve EVER written anything insightful and intelligent that actually adds to the conversation.
You are like the bored bloke I used to sit behind week after week on the old East stand - just grumbling and complaining about every missed pass and insulting our players.
Give it a fucking rest.
Only Porro can play AngeBall in that starting defence, with Lurch and Davies just so, so defenders. Let's face it if they were considered good enough they would be starting. Royal is the only one of those starting in defence today who should be kept.
The old school needs shifting and should be gone come Summer 2024.
Ange I am sure will be thinking that as well, bring in one or two new faces between January and August and promote one or two from within.
We need rid of most who were here under Poch, who have been here for almost a decade.
Maybe, just maybe, many of the past 12 managers had a point when they eluded to a certain Chairman not backing the team with the required players. I know Ange has said that he has say in the buying of players but he definitely wouldn't have relied on only 2 real CBs.
You can give Ange 100 years, if change doesn't come in upper management, there will be no change.
Putting Harry Kanes 100 million on ice, to collect Interest, while plans for apartments are approved shows where the interest lays.

Maybe he was tired I don’t know but not good enough today
I love Ange but he is not Pep and Spurs are not City. I agree it will take time but we kinda say that with every manager.
I think it's more that the ban for accumulative yellows has been hanging over him....... Now he's had that final yellow I expect we'll see a better Biss again.
Big performance against City from him will exorcise these demons.
TLDR I assume you cried a lot and that makes me happy.
Those red cards weren't unlucky!
We would have won this game with Romero and Udogie on the pitch
When Romero is back, i think i rather have Davies beside him than Dier!
Because in my opinion he was absolutely terrible. Woeful and completely ill suited to playing as a DM. It was justified IMO. Some fucking maniacs were adamant he was good in that position
Not good enough as proved last year .bench players
Bravo sir..hit the proverbial nail right on the head
Maybe this reflects the old guard of Dier, Hoj, Davies coming back in and upsetting the team chemistry.
Sarr and Biss have been all smiles and bouncing, but now Hoj and Dier are back bringing their Mourinho/Conte vibe.
Need to move on from that lot. Play the youth if necessary.
If Ange is playing the highline with nine on the pitch he sure as hell isn't changing that with eleven on the pitch.
Remember, Ange has said on many occasion this team cannot be fixed in one transfer window. If we are half as successful in next Summers recruitment as we were this Summer then the future is bright.
Today, who is the happier fan, a Spurs one, Chelsea or Man United one?
There are valid reasons for Monday's and todays result, and this should reflect in the mind of both Romero and Udogie, both absent through poor discipline.
Hopefully this result will bring a few home truths to both of them, not that Ange hasn't already reminded them the result of their midweek actions.
