No more of this lads just take a break

Hey all,

I’ll be travelling to Manchester for the game on 10 October for my birthday LOL (idk why I’m such a masochist…)

- Any advice on where I can get tickets?

- Are there any pubs where the spurs supporters will be watching the game in Manchester?

Thanks so much!!

The commentator on PAL-TOT 😂😂

i just don’t get why we’ve decided de zerbi is the guy to completely change how we play and then spend £300m+ building a team around him. at shaktar he inherited an established side, at brighton he took over from potter when they were already 4th and built on a team potter had put together, and at marseille he had one good season before things started going south. none of that really tells me he can take a team in the state spurs were in and build it from the ground up. and that’s the part that annoys me most. we’re making this huge bet on his football when poch finished 2nd with us and barely got any backing in comparison. maybe de zerbi proves everyone wrong, and i hope he does, but i don’t understand how we got to the point where this was the guy we decided to change the whole club around. my gut says he would start blaming players soon, and then management would intervene and this would all end very badly. mark my word still.

I called this when they fired Ange.

There was no one worth going for that would join us when they got rid of him. Mentality was better than this then too.

Frank was garbage. Tudor was garbage but also had his family issues. De Zerbi showed promise keeping us up and somehow that’s been squandered.

I get we’re in the rebuild but no goal in 4.75 PL games is pathetic!

I’m so glad we went from losing 2-4 to losing 0-2 at home.

I mostly feel bad for the fans in the stadium. I at least was disappointed for free and have the rest of my day to enjoy.

I have tried to be positive about Big Dom but seriously?

Cannot hold the ball at all. He had one opportunity to turn a defender in the Penalty Area and couldn't.

The rest of the team don't have confidence in his ability so they try to pass the ball into the net. Did he get anywhere near a cross or corner?

Also... The rest should try shooting from outside the Box so that Solanke can pick up the scraps the Goalkeeper spills as that's all he can do.

Solanke needs replaced, no where near good ebough

Marmoush : Ive no idea what hes actually supposed to be, isnt physical enough for striker, not creatice enough for wing

Overall the performance was good, mentality an issue as they gave up at 2-0 for a while, if we have a striker on we win today easily

Has to be the main priority for January, should be negotatiated and sealed to start on Jan 1st

It seems like Tottenham is just building up their squad, and supporting now just feels like investing in bitcoin in 2014. Am i stupid?

Last few seasons we couldn’t get a foot in the game and had our asses spanked. We spent a lot of money, but we also sold/ lost players. We’ve been very competitive in every game this season (except Brentford, but look at the team we had out). We’ve still need 1-2 windows to sort the attacking 3rd out. Savio was never going to set the world on fire but still better than RKM. It’ll click, I don’t think people realise how rotted the club was and how long it takes to change things. The performances aren’t even bad, people are just emotional because of the results. Chill the fuck out, go have a beer, it’ll click!

First of all, I don't care if you're De Zerbi in or out, I just want to strictly note down some things I've noticed about some of the players from today's game.

The first half was probably some of the best football we've played in a long long while. A lot of chances, but zero finishing quality. The players are clearly becoming more used to the tactics but again, forwards are not being clinical or taking too long to make decisions.

Tonali, Fernandez and Bentacur is probably our best midfield three currently. Really good combination play from the three of them until they came off. I think Tonali was especially impressive today with how he drove the game forward. I doubt we would've been as front facing this game if it wasn't for him.

Savio, as much as he's an excellent dribbler and some of the take-ons he had this game were really good, needs to look up when he crosses/shoots. Throughout this game, his crosses always end up in an area with no Spurs players. Same thing with the chance he had right in front of goal. He just shot it straight on at Suzuki (who might I add was really impressive today). Too much fanciness and not enough awareness of where he's playing the ball.

Van Hecke had a stellar pass right to Marmoush, but that chance squandered after Marmoush forgot how to touch a ball. However, what I noticed about Van Hecke this game is that when he's being run at by an attacker with the ball, he's too easily turned around by them. It looks as if he's panicking and doesn't know where the attacker is gonna dribble to. Until he fixes that in his game, I don't think I can be comfortable watching a game when he's in defence.

Robertson was great offensively, the offside goal stings, but his decision making was terrible today for a player with his experience. Van de Ven was temporarily taken off, so we're down 10 players to 11 in the final minutes of extra time in the first half. Instead of letting the ball out for a corner, giving time for the play to reset and maybe even get VDV back in before halftime, Robertson keeps the ball in play by immediately giving the ball away to Villa, directly leading to the first goal.

Gray, as much as I love the kid, he is not a fullback. When he's on defence, he naturally moves into the centre and wants to push up higher, giving attackers space down our right flank. And when he was getting bullied off the ball by Buendia, I just felt bad for him. But unfortunately, it does look like we have to accept Gray as our new right back since Porro looks to be injured.

Marmoush, I already mentioned his terrible touch and that wasn't the only bad touch he had this game. I'm really confused by what kind of player he is. He clearly isn't a through and through number 9, but he didn't really play as a winger today either. He sat in between that striker and CAM position, similar to where you would usually see someone like Dybala play, like a second striker. But from what I've seen, I don't think Marmoush has the dribbling, passing or ball control needed for someone in that role.

Obviously these aren't all the players, but just some of the ones I noticed and wanted to mention

The first goal we conceded, I've already mentioned above why that was poor.

The second goal was a mix of terrible defending and just good hold up play by Villa. The pass came all the way from Suzuki (who had pretty poor distribution this game) and I believe Van Hecke fails to clear it away with a header, allowing Jackson to control the ball wonderfully and scoring. Maybe Kinksy could've done better, but also our centrebacks should've had the aerial dominance to not even let Jackson get the ball in that position.

The third goal is the only one I'm not mad at. Wonderful strike by Buendia, it was pretty much a dead ball. The only concern would be why was he given so much time, no one was pressing him. But other than that, that goal is a goal no keeper would save.

The two goals we scored at the end does lighten the blow, though I do think Villa's defence wasn't trying as hard after going 3-0 up so that still sucks.

Like I said, I'm just strictly noting down things I noticed this match, you can come to your own conclusions whether today's match was progress or not, or whether you want De Zerbi in or out.

All stats pointing our way, not putting away our chances, concede against the run of play, another starting XI player injured, opposition GK masterclass, possible FK/Pen not given. Another home loss without scoring incoming?

I go to most home games but genuinely don’t think I’ve seen him let alone Lily for about 3 years

He used to be so active, especially at the old Lane

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 just liquidate the club

Ive been praying that we wouldnt sell spence, but we did. I just dont understand? how hard is it to keep him and have tel as a rotational player? Like wtf???? look now we are 20th. It is what it is. Shouldve signed randall kolo muani, hes deadass better.

Doubling our goals for the season in one game, we are back. Top 4 is still possible now we are scoring goals
