    Levy's Plan

    Fair enough, I certainly respect that you would have done different things and I can see the arguments for them. Where I land is that if the owners and VV had a view of ‘we are going to back the manager’ then they did all they could. They held up their end of the bargain so to speak. Whether or...

    Levy's Plan

    Ok, it’s not just the manager, there’s a whole team around. Agreed. But what more would you realistically have wanted our owners to do this summer? I think you have to say that at a minimum they have done their job. And now it’s on the players and staff to deliver.

    Levy's Plan

    Yeah this is it. For the first time in a long time we haven’t really left the manager anything to complain about from an owner perspective. They have very obviously trusted and backed him. And competed with top clubs for players, and paid the wages and moved early enough to do the deals. It...

    ENIC

    Something I always wondered with AVB was whether his football was equally as boring at Porto or whether the Porto fans just accepted it if it meant winning. I really liked AVB and wanted him to succeed. But I could never quite figure out whether it was just that his football hadn’t ‘clicked’...

    Richarlison

    If we have never been a club that has had consistent success for 60 years, what is it that you want? It’s like you’re saying this is our lot, it’s never going to get much better, and we just have to be comfortable in this weird middling position forever and on? Some glory glory nights but mostly...

    Richarlison

    I actually don’t think Richy has an attitude problem. I think he was unprofessional to post on social media about the club during a transfer deal. But I believe if he was still playing he would run hard. My thing about culture and standards is more…the club has to have some respect for itself...

    Richarlison

    This is all very true and very fair, the deal seemed to come late. And if Richy had given his commitment to stay and then was sold he was being packaged off for NDiaye, I’d frankly be on his side. That would be low from the club if we’d been operating by a ‘go if you want to go, but if you want...

    Richarlison

    I just think that standards on the pitch and what goes on around the game are two different things. From what we know of De Zerbi, if you think he isn’t trying to enforce high standards on the pitch then clearly we’re just having a different conversation. I don’t think he is out of his depth...

    Richarlison

    Ok, but there’s a difference between 100% buy in for the rest of your career, clear buy in for the next 2-3 seasons to build something, and publicly posting on social media against your club in the middle of a transfer negotiation. We need better standards. Better standards will give good...

    Richarlison

    Agree with this. I would understand it more if it was eg Kane or Son. A player that had given us so many great moments that you’re almost a fan of them as much as the club, or at least you think they’ve earned the right to do whatever they want in their career, because they’ve given us more than...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Ah! Ok that makes way more sense. And is indeed a cause for optimism!

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Those were not my opinions on who I was relying on, rater just the general sense of disconnection in the squad as everyone gets up to speed. It’s that some players are unfit, some aren’t used to starting every week, and some are adjusting to a new club that is expected to play proactive rather...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I saw this earlier…did a double take because I was struggling to understand how a team could be 8th one season with 2 points and 20th in another with 2 points also. Is that actually right? Was the league distribution just so different then?

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa***, PL, Sat 19th Sept 2026

    This bugs me so much, it’s the same as Gray missing the pass to Tel against Liverpool. The kind of moment that is over in a flash and so gets under discussed but it really is a horrendous action and a player of Marmoush’s quality should be doing so much better there. The quality of the league...

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa***, PL, Sat 19th Sept 2026

    Bale was a non entity that season, barely played half those games and most as a left back.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I do worry too that we have some sort of negative chemistry between the fans and the players, and that might be contributing to the bad finishing and the silly errors at the back. Eg I don’t think the goals we conceded against Villa were system errors (which is a plus in the column for RDZ’s...

    Richarlison

    Quite! But a lot of the Richy-sympathetic debate here seems to completely underweight the idea that he might have kept changing his mind, and what that may have done to the club’s planning, and confidence in his actual commitment. I also find the criticism of the club’s handling of him early...

    Richarlison

    Quite possibly true. But it doesn’t sound very “bought in” to change your mind, and then change it again does it? If there is any truth to what RDZ was saying about that, I think it goes a long way to explaining why the club were getting so frustrated. And then I think the blasting on social...

    Pedro Porro

    Recent insta post seems to indicate he expects to be out a little while. No confirmed timeline I have seen but he’s talking like he’s not just back after the international break.

    Richarlison

    I don’t really disagree with you there. I’m kind of surprised RDZ wanted to keep him, given how bad Richy has been in build up for quite a long time. OTOH, it seems like RDZ thinks he can work with anyone, so long as they buy in. And to the extent that RDZ’s system relies on rehearsed moves or...
