OMT * Tottenham Hotspur v Leicester City *

[Legohamster]

It took Pep, Klopp, Arteta etc 3 years. My prediction (said it on here last week) is we struggle until November and then it clicks.

We’ll see if Spurs fans can hold their brick together until November, or we just rip it up and start again.

The bloke has had a free hit with most of the fans after a run that would see a large percentage of managers be at risk of losing their job, the idea spurs fans are not backing him is mental

Just lay us on the exchange when we conceded after being in front.

Also if we score back both teams to score.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

I’m sorry…but WHAT?

It was too easy
Surely you have heard that before?
We had so many chances and possession we became casual

 

[DubaiSpur]

fudge you’re so boringly predictable

Mmm. If your idol eventually gets sacked for his dogmatism, don't cry - it's life, we move on, there are far better coaches out there.

You need to earn the right to be as stubborn and dogmatic as he is. He hasn't earned anything, and time is running out for him to turn things around. No more excuses. Deliver, or go back to Scotland/Australia/Japan or wherever.

What does that have to do with anything? It was the same tactics both halves, but as soon as Leicester decided to give it a go we crumbled. Our defending is atrocious and not all is down to his tactics, but he won't change those and doesn't seem inclined to change the players that aren't performing either.

It’s got everything to do with it! Do you want him to just abandon the setup at the first sign of trouble? Do you think that will bring success long term?

 

[greatwhitenorf]

I’m still stunned by Romero’s defending for that goal. Ball watching would have been bad enough. But he fudging walked past Vardy to leave him free. Madness.

He wasn't limited to that mistake. Two or three other times he was out of position on dangerous attacks.

 

[Jurgen the German]

you are the only one who bangs on about Brazil

Like you bang on about our worst players being the best and the best players being the worst.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Son can give us a short stint, but not 89 minutes in the first game of the season, that is foolish.

Note Ange did change formation and go 4-1-4-1 with Gray sitting DM, right at the end. Paul Robinson called it on Optus.

We had plenty of good play, we dominated, we could have scored but players were so accepting of 0-1 at half time... we should have been furious it was 0-1.

The captain should drive that on the pitch and the manager off it

If the setup keeps failing us, maybe he should.

First sign of trouble

How was it failing us? We were up 1-0. We had 10 shots to 1. It was clearly work…then we give up a stupid goal and the players cannot react.

Score fudging goals when you’re dominating and we don’t get in this dumb situation.

 

[DeanoAustin]

But it’s not a problem if the players do their job and kill the game. THAT is the plan. Fail to do it and we will inevitably find it harder in the second half. That should be pretty fudging obvious in the Premier League.

That’s a risky strategy.

Can you rely on blowing away teams like City, Woolwich, the Dippers, United?

First sign of trouble

Wtf do you mean? I’m talking about the first sign of trouble in this game? wtf are you referring to

 

[djp82]

Here they all come. Straight for the manager. You weren’t complaining about his tactics at half time, were you?

First half was fine, second was poor. We’ve seen it play out like that quite a bit.

Bound to come in for some criticism.

There’s a naivety about the way we play at times and it costs us.

Needs to find a better balance.

No, but why would you not try? Everyone here is so fudging flaky. Commit or don’t bother.

Score fudging goals when you’re dominating and we don’t get in this dumb situation.

But to score you need to shoot more when teams don’t expect it
That’s one thing Ange has almost taken out of the side
We have a lot of passes in their box but they dint equate to chances all the time

Score goals when you’re dominating and it doesn’t fudging matter.

Why is it so hard to understand?

Don’t disagree we need to shoot more but we had 10 shots. Many of them very good chances. We should have been at least 2, probably 3-0 up.

First sign of trouble

We've been like this since last October, i.e, since 10 games into his time in his charge.

'First sign of trouble', indeed.

You expect a top manager to know when to start to tweak things, he sat in his hands and let the game get away from him.

Not sure why it's a shock, it's what he does

Had hoped over the summer he might have taken not of some of his failings last year
