Some might say it’s a very good sign.

Almost like he's not up to this.

Prime West Brom would be an improvement at this point.

The only surprise is that anyone thought he could. What manager would be able to simultaneously radically alter their style and adapt to a far more demanding environment?

His was an appointment made out of fear and he coaches his team in that same spirit.

Fingers crossed

Resignation would be a start

I miss Ange. Only game I’ve ever cheered and been proud of the team after a loss was that game against Chelsea. Didn’t give up values for “flexibility”

The patience that they are about to give Frank should have been what was given to ange. Ange showed the ability to win.

Seems unlikely they would have dragged him up on stage if they had mutinied.

Basically for me it's existential. Are we Spurs, or are we just another club and identity means nothing? People are telling me that long throws are necessary because everyone else is doing them, when all it says to me us that coaches are either unimaginative or lazy.

Hopefully when Frank goes he takes this guy with him.

how’s he done well?

he was rescued by the skill players he chose not to start because we wants long balls and set pieces.

we score in spite of him.

If you concede more of them you're not better off.

VdV is average at box defending. Romero is good, but maybe not quite elite at it. Porro probably average.

On the ball these are all elite. We're minimising their strengths and maximising their weaknesses.

Not much tbh. It’s the most generous description you could give I’d say. At best at the cost of dropping any bravery in attack you concede slightly ‘worse’ chances.

We might be improved in general terms but surrendering possession means we are tested more and ultimately give up loads of chances.

There's been glimpses of what we saw last night in (almost) all of his games so far. I'd say only against Chelsea was he really poor.
