Also don't think Moura's good enough. Plenty of pace and clearly talented but seems to lack a football brain. Consistently does the wrong thing.

Besides the CL hatrick of course :sorry:

I'm finding this difficult to process. Yes we looked a bit crap, but there were some genuinely decent to good performances out there. I thought Dier did well. Lo Celso, obviously. Gedson even showed some quality on and off the ball.

But again, we seemed to lack any confidence in the final third.

Why is that? Some of blame is on Jose - It has to be - But it's not his fault we're stopping. Looking. Pivoting back 180 degrees then passing it five yards to a player who then does the same. We're missing players that Real Madrid would miss up front, so there's a huge part of it, but it's not like Lucas or Bergwjin are naff - Far from it - So why do we look so insipid up front?

It's not confidence we lack, we're lacking everything!

The All or nothing Amazon documentary might actually win a Oscar fucking hell

And it'll have pride of place next to our...what currently has pride of place in our trophy cabinet - the glory glory trophies from competitions now defunct or the FA Cup from about 29 years ago?

Levy has had long enough to learn about player recruitment. When I was starting out I was not an expert in my field but after 20 years I am pretty good at what I do. How fucking long does it take to learn that Levy will never be great when it comes to player recruitment. He is a numbers man, a business man and an infrastructure man. That is fantastic and we have a great set up to show for it .

However a football man he is not despite being in charge for Christ knows how long. When I have an area of my business that I don’t know or have a poor track record in I learn and learn until I get it and if I dont get it I bring an expert in. I can only hope we get Campos in and have some real expertise involved.
It doesn't matter who we bring in Levy will never give the buying and selling to anybody. I'm sure he actually believes he's good at it. He loves his reputation of being a tough negotiator but his so called tough negotiating has actually cost us some excellent players over the years.

Play turgid, shit football against a team destined for relegation ✅

Absolutely knacker our already strained squad in time for a kicking at Burnley ✅

Parrott's confidence on the floor after missing his penalty ✅

Dier fighting our fans ✅

What a night

I feel like I’m supporting west ham

Crap to watch football, little or no atmosphere inside the stadium, outplayed by inferior opposition at home and embarrassing fans. We seem intent on going full West Ham this season.

Lol!! He's lost his credit.

Blokes been in charge 4 months midway through a season that in all honesty was shaping up like a shit sandwich from the off.

Add the loss of Kane, Son, Lloris, a focused Eriksen, Verts and Toby running on fumes, an out of form Dele etc etc.

Lets take off the rose tinted glasses. We were playing as bad as this when Poch was in charge.

The squad needs changes. It needed it when Poch was here and it still does so let's if Levy can deliver in the next couple of windows.
I suggested the other day that I don't think people appreciate just how close we have come to a disaster this season(ie relegation). Those 3 lucky wins (Norwich, Man City and Villa) shot us up to 40 points but we could easily have been on 33. I got several negative ratings and comments but I maintain we are lucky to be where we are as I don't see 3 worse teams than us in the league this season . I realise that much of this is down to mis-fortune with key injuries but other teams do get these too and it is the club's failing at the end of the day for not having adequate replacements, particularly up front. Can you imagine this lot in a real relegation fight

We'll be the biggest club in world football once this documentary comes out. I can't even begin to remember the drama that has unfolded this season. We've become a banter club again. Poch took 6 years to work that stamp out and it's all come back in 5 months.

This is the spurs I grew up with! Thought it was dead ever since jol and Frank.

Just wait until arsenal smash us bloody in a few weeks . Might be levy jumping down into the crowd and firing off some haymakers

Dele about to get a ban for a racist video and now dier too for fighting our fans.

We dont belong to us, we belong to other fans to laugh at. We are an absolute sideshow
