Match Threads Leeds Vs Spurs - Match Thread - Day 35 - KO 12:30

[John48]

But that's the issue we are not a TEAM.

The commentators said we were playing as individuals & they were right.

Leeds showed what a team looks like & we are nothing like it.

I agree but that’s what Mourinho was trying to do and sadly player power won and Levy sacked Mourinho rather than getting rid of underperforming players

Mourinho may have been right but he's the wrong man to do it.

 

[mickman]

Naive lineup against a well organised high energy opponent.
Lack of aggression lost every 2nd ball.
Manager unwilling to make changes even though pattern of game was clearly visible after only 5 minutes.
No alternative when Kane is off the pace.
Insane VAR offside decision.
No dominant midfielder to control game.
A few poor players including Reguilon, who can’t defend and offers very little going forward. No goals and 3 assists.

I've just seen the score.......What the fuck.

Count yourself lucky you didn't see the game

I’m so fucking sick of seeing this group of players not turn up in the most important matches. Over and over and over again they’re just been completely fucking lifeless when it matters most. Mason set them up to fail today but that doesn’t excuse the lack of urgency.

Cannot fucking stand them any longer. We need a genuine clearout of the squad players. No more keeping players around the squad for years past their sell-by date because no club will meet Levy’s completely unrealistic valuations. Get them out for what the market will bear and replace them with bright young talents. And if the recruitment setup can’t identify young talents, get a new fucking recruitment setup. Enough is enough.

I wish Levy would understand that a 5-10m hit on a player is more valuable than having them stick around and stink the place out. In the meantime a bargain can be found to offset the loss.

That noncey weirdo windycoys has just said we’re in a good place! He’s like our ty from
Aftv ain’t he!

Honestly unbearable. Said its great that Mason is talking about the club's identity. What identity do we have honestly? Losing?

Losing one yes

 

[rossdapep]

What hurts the most is the hope I had once Jose was jettisoned. I really hoped the players could get their shit together for FOUR games and we could really try for top 4. Sigh. It’s the hope that kills you

They let us all down every time

He understands that sometimes. But also and sometimes more importantly, we are in a weird limbo place. We don't pay prime salaries for prime players. But – we pay prime salaries for the quality of players that we have. Which means, few of them can move on to a club at a level that befits them on a salary that they get at Tottenham. Case in point Sissoko. He would fit in back at Newcastle or midtable Ligue 1, but he wouldn't expect to fetch the salary he gets at Tottenham.

We are the football version of todays Labour party.. Lost identity, distant and aloof..

Uncertain of giving possession to left wing or right wing and ending up with it in a congested centre.

 

[cabinfever]

I’m still seething about Lamella trying a rabona pass late in the game and putting it out for a throw in.......................It summed up this team perfectly...... and the fact that NOT ONE player said anything, didn’t throw up their hands in disgust........nothing....no reaction!!!

My head is melted.....

I have a very hard time believing that even Mourinho knows what Mourinho was trying to do with our team. We were tactically naive today and didn’t match Leeds’ intensity. Both of those statements is damning but I still enjoyed that game more than well over half of our wins under Mourinho.

 

[spursfan77]

I honestly will never understand this forum consistently giving Lo Celso the benefit of the doubt where as Ndombele needs to be sold.

I’d sell them both and start again. Neither of them have lived up to their price tags.

I think they both needed to go. Jose has gone now. Next step is for the new coach/Levy to get rid of the players that need to go . If that isn’t done, it’s going to be a recycle of this season again.

It's not 5-10 hit on players to sell that annoys me it's the 5-10 he won't pay to get that special player in.
