Doctor Tottenham will see you now.

 

[Style And Glory]

I wake up & am surprised that here's still here. What purpose does it serve to have him around other than curing every other club's ills.

 

[Dave]

Alot of compensation paid out if he's sacked. Including his buddies like Heitiga who's literally only just walked in. What a fucking disaster of a club we are....it's absolutely mental how badly things have gone...well, it is and it isn't.
We had 2 brilliant players in Kane and Son that definitely carried us for years. The problems started well beyond this season. If we're honest, this has been coming for around 10 years.

For me it was when Poch wanted to freshen up the squad in 2017-2018 (I think that was the year) and Levy wouldn't do it.

You couldn't nearly pinpoint the day...

This is properly funny. Fuckers

 

[ClemFandango]

Lineup suggests we’re going for a back five ..

Yep, no doubt about it. Was wondering if he might do that since we played well with WBs against Dortmund

Obviously the narrative will be more about playing a back five against a side who haven’t won since October.

Hoping for a win but if we do lose then he really has to go - no excuses. His position will be completely untenable if it happens.

I mean, it's back three in possession, back five out of possession. Spence and Porro will play high up the pitch. In fact, we were really a back four out of possession against Dortmund, because Spence played really high.

The issue I have with a back three is that it can make it harder to control midfield, which then forces teams to play deeper. See Amorim's Man U or Spurs under Conte. But teams can and do play very attacking football from a back three. Frank did so at Brentford, for example, especially in the last couple of seasons.

But if they lose, I suspect he's done even if they play a front nine.

Lucky offside call there, as that was probably a penalty.

 

[J.spurs]

Really should’ve scored

 

[J.spurs]

Get im

 

[Yid]

Another CB scoring...!!! I'll take it.

 

[Havocc]

I do hope he wants to sign a new contract

 

[ClemFandango]

About time .. was getting bored off my arse watching .

 

[Yid]

[Yid]

How is that not a goal, and I just saw Solanke hold the ball up...!!! Pinch me...

 

[Yid]

Wow, that's some marking there...!!!

 

[J.spurs]

Wow, that's some marking there...!!!

Non-existent.

We’re playing pretty well, I actually feel OK about the second half.

I know Solanke isn’t rated by most and maybe rightly so, but we are a much better side when he’s on the field. Spence hasn’t really done anything wrong but I think we’re a little too narrow on his side

 

[Havocc]

We have 3 centre backs and he stills slides in unmarked

 

[J.spurs]

Udogie on the left, Spence on the right. Good move IMO

 

[Yid]

We have no idea what to do in and around their box... Like a 15 year old at his first barn dance with Mary Jane rotten crotch...!!!

 

[Havocc]

Conor Gallagher plays exactly like Bentancor

 

[Yid]

They're 11 men behind the ball as soon as they're out of possession, we've got to be much quicker moving forwards, or we're gonna have to rely on another set piece cluster fuck...

This 2nd half has not b enough a classic..

 

[Yid]

Simmonds has been garbage again...

 

[Yid]

Fucking Burnley lads... This is fucking Burnley...!

 

[ClemFandango]

Doctor Tottenham making house calls ..
