I think we also need to address our DoF situation before replacing the manager. First having 2 DoFs is mad. Second Paratici has a track record of picking disastrous managers. Nuno, Conte, and now Frank. He cannot be involved again. The way he sees the director-manager relationship is a red flag

The problem w/ sacking Frank now is it’s more manager thrash for no immediate upside. We should wait until there’s a suitable replacement available, even that means waiting until the summer

I don’t blame Frank for the extreme number of errors leading to goals or the injury crisis but I’ve lost faith he can pull us out of this death spiral. It’s only a matter of time now

VDV too

i wonder if this metric tell us more about a team’s in possession style rather than its quality. villa, everton, and forest have >double our avg/90 events- are those good in possession teams? arse and mcfc have less avg/90 events- are they worse in possession than us? honest q on how you interpret

negatives 🥀

conceding a set piece goal in
extra time against 10 men was a shattering way to drop 2 points

first half was v poor

spense on the left isn’t working

injury crisis deepened

none of this is to say i want frank or any of the players gone. all can be forgiven with some good performances but there must be huge response and it must start Tuesday. If we don’t turn this around the mood is going to get v dark

i’m also angry with Frank for getting it wrong once again. the lack of creativity has been a problem most of the season and yet we keep trying the same thing. i’m desperate for him to change the system. there were signs in the everton and new castle games so it’s maddening to see him revert back

i’m angry with the gutless, sloppy performance from the players. i don’t like booing generally but in this case it felt very understandable. van de Ven, Spence, and Udogie ignoring Frank to walk off w/o apologizing to the fans was disrespectful. i cant see it any other way

i’ve often been disappeared and frustrated watching spurs over the years but rarely have i been angry. and never has the anger carried over to the next day but here we are

this is what happens when you have no in l-possession game, your opponent figures out your set pieces, and your defense has an off night

given the limited availability and rotation so far at DM, i’m curious how frank will setup the team against newcastle and chelsea. surely bentancur and palhinha can’t start both games after starting the previous two… right?

i’m still not sold on the terror ball midfield of bentancur and palhinha long term but i’m beginning to see the defensive upside.

the injury situation continues to be ridiculous. i have no idea how we keep finding ourselves in this mess or what to do about it.

the everton game may have been a sliding doors moment for us. if results had gone against us we could have been bottom half and in full meltdown this week.

spurs are however 3rd in the PL and unbeaten in the CL. i’m v happy about those things but it often feels like we’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. we’re significantly over performing our xG, xGA, and xPTS. there’s nuance to those stats but overall this isn’t sustainable.

the cursed bentancur + palhinha midfield continues despite my posts on bsky. i thought Ange was supposed to be the inflexible one
