So as alluded to in a few other responses Porros pass was terrible but also the right pass in the system. Johnson was just moving forward in straight lines making it easy to mark. No pulling outside and back in try and create himself space for a pass. Or make it easier for Porro for example to move the ball forward. Very one dimensional movement.
Just way too easy to defend against.

That was in relation to being approached by Brann. Even if they are from his home town, there was no way he'd go there.
Totally different if someone like Tottenham came asking!

To be fair, I just watched "title hopefuls" "THE" Arse-anal, desperately hanging on as MNU spurned chance after chance after chance after chance, desperately clinging onto the 1 point which means they are WAY behind the title leaders.
Loads of teams in the Prem are pretty similarly good/bad.

Ah, ok! Nice. Thanks. Surely someone else from around Europe must have tried to get him by now though? Can't blame him for staying obviously, but would love to see him take the step up and coach a bigger team in Europe.

Quite a difference between 2nd and 13th place. They’re also 7-1 up as they head into the second leg of their CL game, as opposed to being 0-1 down in an EL game.
They are considerably less s hit than us, unfortunately.

It’s a poor league this year

I know that.
But they were massively lucky to grab a point at MNU.
That's the whole point of my post.

Yeah, there was a lot of frustration being vocalized today, and nothing directed at Levy.

Didn’t hear any anti levy
But my nephew was higher up and said he heard some of it

It’s gone from LEVY OUT to LEVY, PLEASE ACT. It’s our usual cycle.

Sweet Jay Zeuz and all his carpenter friends, it ain't easy being a spurs-fan...
Never ever have I ever seen a football match where both teams attackers start making runs towards goal when Spurs had the ball, and it was a 50-50 tossup which way the through pass went. We played their attackers through more times than our own!
I am not a believer in sacking managers mid-season. Nor have I changed my vote in the "Ange in or out"-thread. I do have to admit that it is beginning to take its toll, this debaucle we're experiencing. Enough so that I had to do a little soul searching, and question my own standards a bit.
I'm rambling, but I'll try to explain.
If we had the string of results we've had this season (injuries or not, doesn't matter) under "He-who-must-not-be-named", Nuno or Conte, would I not be screaming "Off with his head!"?
Should I not do the same with Ange? Or did I do the same when Pochettino went through his long, tough period? Well, I do not, and I did not. And the reason was surprisingly simple, once I managed to drill down to it.
If we had managed any level of success under any of the three mentioned gentlemen, it would still be Mou-ball, Nuno-ball, and Conte-ball. Ugly, disruptive and granted, perhaps effective football. I'd take it, and cheer for it, but I'd know, deep down, that it was tainted and wrong!
But ah.. to have success, and _also_ the expressive, wonderful, fantastic, magic football of a prime Pochettino-team? Or to have success with a team delivering what Angeball has in glimpses promised?

ive been guilty of that myself cos I know ENIC aren't going anywhere as long as THFC + stadium remain a cash cow. All i can hope & pray for is that Danny boy finally realises that bringing in a top class manager means you have to give him full control over the playing staff, even if that means breaking the wage structure.

Ange having a dig at the crowd is not a good idea

It was from a quote Ali gold posted on x, and has said it's been taken out of context.

"At 2-0 we had a mountain to climb. It was a chaotic game today and the boys showed perseverance, a real mentality. It would have been really easy at 2-0, with the atmosphere in the stadium, to let it slip away from us but they fought hard and got themselves back in the game.
"We added to the chaos a little bit, especially in the first half, just with careless passing and we allowed the game to played on terms Bournemouth like. We looked nervous and anxious, but he lads showed a positive mindset that’s been missing in games we’ve lost when they’ve petered out, turning single-goal defeats into draw."
Not sure how out of context it is really

I think that was more a case of Gold crapping himself about getting the passive/aggressive treatment at the next presser.

Summary of the game? The phrase "got away with it" has never been so apt.

if a one word description of our system/tactics was required, I can't do better than "chaos"
