Meh, feeling a team again and enjoying most games will be a start. No one is buying spurs for what its worth, levy has been brilliant businessman for the club but football side he has made huge mistakes.

Time to get a progressive guy in and build a team again. Winners this, winners that, bottlers this weak that. We are Tottenham ffs just buckle on the ride, we might not win trophies but we'll be fine. CL qualification more than possible next season.

According to the Sun Daniel Levy has conceded that he will have to keep Jose next season as it will cost to much to sack him. Transfer window is gonna be torture if this is true.

Oh yes, and while I'm on the game yesterday.....
Hojbjerg was pretty useless.
Seemed to stay back a lot, like a 5th defender.
That was one reason the midfield got overwhelmed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
He’s a defensive midfielder, what do you expect him to do? In any case, no doubt he was following the managers instructions.

The economic cost will be much much more if keeps Jose.

Good article Don.

I would say that although not the best a defence of Aurier Toby Rodon Reguillon under a progressive manager where we dominated the ball would not be too bad.

We couldn't challenge for the title with it, but if we were on the front foot they wouldn't be so exposed, and if they played every week without this ridiculous chopping and changing they might be OK.

That being said, RB and CB are priority positions in the summer.

I am not defending Jose, because I think a better manager gets more from these players. But, I'm gonna sort of contradict myself here and say that some of the dross we have are just not up to it:

Lloris
Dier
Sissoko
GLC
Aurier
Sanchez
Lamela
Winks
Doherty

He plays the above over players like Bale, Dele, Berg etc. How the fack.

The squad is a mess, yet Jose plays the dross over quality in the very minimum areas we have it.

Half of those players will improve under a new manager or better system.

Probably right to be fair. But I would say some of these need moving on. Hugo being one of thrn

Lo celso is decent but yeah jury still out. Lloris until last goal (game already dead) was brilliant yesterday and not sure we can realistically get a better keeper in at the moment

A clear out has to happen no way around it.

Probably more accurate to say that there are far more positions of worry.

Getting shot of Aurier, Dier and Sissoko with great players in their respective positions is all the difference imo, but under a new coach obvs. Jose buried himself yesterday

Its criminal that he plays Sissoko over Dele. I know they aren't the same in terms of position, but he had hung Dele out to dry on his work rate and tracking yet conteadicts himself by playing Sissoko instead.

Really?
Have you watched him play....in other games than this one?
Maybe instructions....but stupid ones.
He's a midfielder, and the only thing we have by way of a midfield general.
And when he goes awol....so does the team.

----------------------------------------------------------------------Trying to find a positive, but maybe a better chance of keeping Kane/Son if Jose stays? New manager means new era, giving Kane/Son a better get-out as they’d claim the cycle is over. From what I’ve read, Kane doesn’t blame Jose for this mess, weirdly I think he respects him (though maybe not so weird when you think this is one of his best seasons from goals/assists). If Jose can sell them the vision for next season... though I dread to think what that’’s going to look like.

Compared to Sissoko? Dele is lightyears ahead of Sissoko

Yea I did sort of question putting his name in. But he's young and I think has more potential than the dross listed.

We need a new chairman

NOTHING will change at spurs until everything changes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No, we do not need a new chairman.
We have to get rid of all of them, Lewis and Levy et al.
ENIC has to go.

----------------------------------------------------------------------


That’s what I meant Ted 👍

Very painful rebuild ahead.

If only someone had warned us of this years ago, we could if sorted it by now and not be losing our best players too.

Berg still could come good. We were at our best around Sept-Dec with him a starter. He’s a good runner and team player, but best of all a decoy for Son/Kane as he draws in defenders leaving them wide open on the counter. There’s half a squad of players i’d rather get rid of that Bergwijn.

This is why I want him out. He has a player like Gareth bale on the bench and at 1-1, he brings on the goal machine Sissoko it’s literally mind bending how a manager of his experience can make such stupid decisions just to try and protect a draw we ended up losing anyway. Gareth bale starts to regain some form, has a poor game v Arsenal, then we never see him again. He’s a narcissistic c** Mourinho. Swear he does it on purpose
