    I don't think that's fair. He signed players for specific roles, Palhinha to give steel in midfield as we had conceded so many goals over the last 3 seasons; Kudus to be that game changing player we lacked with Kulu out; Xavi to cover the loss of Madders. He was looking at other flair players...

    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    I agree. But as I am sure you are saying, it's not the use of data per se that is the problem but the lack of recognition of it's limitations and how important context and human factors are to that data. For example, it's important to note the data above about how poor our team is at passing...

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Brighton, White Hart Lane, Sat April 18th, 5.30pm***

    Bergvall is not disciplined enough to play the pivot role inho. Needs Palhinha next to Gray. Provides extra defensive screening to prevent us conceding.

    What Has Been The Worst Reffing/VAR Decision This Season?

    I hate having a go at Refs but we have been on the end of some terrible decisions. Off the top of my head 1) hands on shoulders disallowing a goal for but not against 2) Joelinton's scissor tackle on Kudus in the League cup resulting in a yellow card for both because Kudus had the temerity to...

    *** The official 2025/26 Premier League thread ***

    The biggest thing to go our way is some ref decisions. The penalty being overturned was correct and it's not the reason we are where we are, but imho Brobbey escaped two yellow cards on Sunday. 1) for The reckless challenge on Romero before Romero was then booked and 2) for the deliberate push...

    It's slightly worrying though what RDZ thought he saw in training from Muani, that watching any video of his performances this season would have screamed "he is not a starter!" If it's just that RDZ wants to play 4231 and RKM is his main option on the right, that is even more worrying.

    We've given ourselves no margin of error now, we need wins, draws not enough. And we seem incapable of grinding out results. I think we need two up front in every game to maximise threat in the opponents' box We have to play percentages; lots of shots and people in the box to feed on rebounds etc.

    Fair enough; I think there are much deeper issues than the manager at play but it doesn't really matter now tbh. I think @harr1984 put it very well above. I also think injuries and poor recruitment has killed us more than our rivals.

    +++ OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Sunderland 12th April 2026 +++

    That is one way of looking at it but I think it misses a few key points out. Another way is that injuries have taken away our best players over the last 2 seasons and we haven't got a good enough recruitment system to have covered those losses as well as an overall drop in quality. We can't...

    Not having a go mate but if only we had Nuno MK2 we wouldn't be in a mess! Karma is going to bite us hard on the a*se this season. Arsenal will win the League, we'll be relegated probably at Stamford Bridge and Nuno Mk1 will keep his team up at our expense. So our 3 biggest rivals will be...

    He doesn't get a free pass mate. He was unlikely to be good enough. But he is clearly not the only problem. We'll see that when his 2 successors are unable to reverse our direction of travel. Which if it was only him, they would be able to

    I'll keep saying Frank did not do well. But to blame him in isolation for our current predicament is a mistake imho. We have to look at the trend since about November of Ange's second season. It's been awful. I mean we are awful this season yet we still haven't lost as many games as we did last...

    +++ OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Sunderland 12th April 2026 +++

    Yeah his football was not great. But after today this is the 4th manager who hasn't got a tune out of this side in the PL. Ange, Frank, Tudor and RDZ (albeit he has only had 1 game). We may have been poor under Frank but clearly he's not been the only problem. RDZ is a good manager but I don't...

    I think we are nailed on to go down tbh. We have no survival momentum to build on. Every stat is in the wrong direction. We concede too many and can't score so we can't grind out a result like Sunderland did today. I don't think RDZ can save us now.
  16. Robspur12

    +++ OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Sunderland 12th April 2026 +++

    RDZ probably won't do that. He seems to favour 4231 even without the players for it.

    +++ OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Sunderland 12th April 2026 +++

    We'll have to agree to disagree. We were not good today for most of the game! Sunderland looked more likely to score than us and their defence was imperious.

    We look even worse now! If you were going to replace him, it needed to be with someone better. I believe we have a better manager now but it's probably too late.

    The Tudor fiasco has cost us dearly as we replaced the last manager with someone worse at a crucial moment in the season.

    Yeah agreed. We've not given him enough time. Hopefully he'll have learnt a lot from today. He is a really good coach. But it does show that TF was maybe not as bad as some have made him out to be.
