Is it easy? No; but there is too much to play for this season to write it off; Jose needs to try to find a way.

He doesnt find solutions. He moans and make sure everyone knows none of this is his fault.

Oh well, best write off the season and accept finishing 9th then

Ridiculous when we have a young striker in our squad that Poch was starting to integrate

Chelsea looked alright without their main goalscorers Pulisic and Abraham on Saturday.

Absolutely no excuse for Jose not to have us playing. Bergwijn, Alli, Lucas and Lo Celso are all capable goal scorers. Then we have Parrott who is very highly rated and isn't getting a look in.

Jose needs to change things against Wolves. The fans won't accept another white flag display.

Too right, I'm already thinking about facking off Spurs until Jose has gone.

The negative tactics is just so boring to watch, I hate it and it's embarrassing.

This is the thing I find baffling!

There’s no other option in the striker position and he won’t even give Parrot a chance on the bench, Tanganga was given a go and grabbed it with both hands!

Exactly, it really is concerning tbh.

Imagine that young youth striker that he is publicly stating as not ready and not giving a chance was a certain Harry Kane.

I imagine Parrot's confidence will be destroyed by the time he does actually play.

Martinelli, Greenwood and Saka are a few players looking very good at 18 in the league.

I just don't see how Parrott isn't at least on the bench. Even just to throw on with 10 mins to go.

Same, just can't fathom it and it was at this point I've switched to Jose out!

Chelsea had Giroud, a natural striker who conveniently scored. Spurs have nobody to score goals upfront. Lucas, Bergwijn and Ali are not strikers in a million years. We are missing our 2 main goal threats.

I agree Parrot should be used, probably from the bench. I can't see the downside myself. I don't agree with Jose out; we need to back the manager give him time for reinforcements and preseason in the summer. Until then its going to be difficult whatever he does.

I'd like to see Jose chuck Dier or Verts up top in the last 10 or 15 minutes if he continues not to pick Parrot. Might as well experiment. They just need to hold the ball up, lay it off and act as a target man. Worth a shot if we are chasing the game.

I love how Giroud is now seen as some kind of unplayable world class striker. The bloke had as many premier League goals this season as Troy Parrott before he played us.

Liverpool, the best team in the world don't play with a 'natural' striker, they play with pace, movement and aggression.

You have to hand it to Jose. His disciples will blindly follow whatever he says without any criticism. It's some pretty impressive brain washing.

I get the feeling he can't win.

He plays Parrott, he shows he's not ready or he doesn't play him and he's neglecting youth.

nothing will work just booting it up the pitch.

not really any 'hoofball' teams in the league anymore, we are the closest thing to one since Jose come in. Nothing wrong with being direct as opposed to the ridiculous slow passing round the back we also liked doing, but we are literally kicking the ball straight back to the opposition or to a 5ft 6 target man

You've got Lucas Moura, Dele, Burgervan, Parrott and Lamela.

Ok they aren't first choice or out and out strikers, but systems can be implemented to play them up top.

yeah of course but we have the wrong manager

Hate him or like him, he is going to be with us for at least two more windows. CBA hating on the guy. Up the Spurs.

Don't think it really matters Spurs as a football team are gonna be totally irrelevant for the next couple of seasons. Should sell Kane & Dele while they still have some value. Don't love the idea of Jose being the guy to rebuild the squad but no point fussing about that now, we are stuck with him for next season at least. With Levy in charge there will be nothing especially exciting and the performance of the business will be far more impressive than anything that happens on. the pitch. Expect Spurs to make far more headlines with splashy concerts & fights at the stadium than anything they do in terms of football..... welcome to football wilderness..... Told ya it was coming. Our time has passed * once again there's nothing to show for it...

As we all said, had Levy backed Poch 2 years ago when we were in our prime we might have pushed on and won something... It would have made this period that much easier to take...... You get what you pay for..... Its called a nice stadium

Some of you guys talking about playing Dier or Toby up top..... Oh dear, Oh Dear ... Laughable

totally agree a modern manager would find a solution instead of playing 4 centrebacks

TROY PARROT

Why are you guys worried, some guy met another guy in a Gym and it turns out Jeff Bezos is buying Spurs and giving Mourinho a 1bn warchest.
