OMT Spurs v Athletico

Fuking shambles.

A new manager has to learn - everything we know about the players and squad. That takes time. At least Frank had got a handle on the squad, knew Vicario was the best of the keepers. Had got Xavi playing well and some structure into the side. Thought Tel looked strong and he’s done okay under Tudor tbf. Otherwise what can you say? Fuking shambles!!!
 
They’re not happy with anything though. Feels like they’re always looking for excuses.

There’s only one thing they should be unhappy with and that’s their own performance week in week out, nothing else matters.

Real Madrid attitudes combined with really bricky attitudes, reminiscent of the mess that Pochettino inherited when we had Kaboul, Adebayor and Capoue as our team leaders..

No new manager can save this train wreck, sorry to say it, but we’re going down.
 
I have supported Spurs for so many years but lately they seem to find new and creative ways to torture me. Its the hope that kills you. At 5-2 down I was thinking if we get 1 more it will at least make the return interesting but I can`t see us turn a 3 goal deficit around next week.
Now dreading the game on Sunday
 
We've given a good account of ourselves not withstanding the giveaways, but if we had played 4 at the back maybe we don't perform as well as we have. As I said I'm no fan of 3 at the back, I actually hate it philosophically but we can't criticise it today because it has actually worked. We've had our chances, we've played reasonably slick football in moments. The system has not been the failure today.

Now Kinsky for Vicario is again something I would never do, but on this very board loads were arguing that Vicario should be dropped so it happening didn't come out of nowhere. Vicario has been frankly brick this season so dropping him isn't theoretically craziness (well it is if you're other option is Kinsky 🤣).

With regards to what you're saying about a manager who gets the players, I would suggest that Frank was doing that at the start of the season. He saw how poor we are, how much we lack and so setup to compensate for that, but of course we as a fan base didn't like that. So which do you want it to be? A coach who knows, understands and picks based on our strengths and weaknesses or a someone who just plays what he wants regardless of the fit of the players.

Yeah. Drew the game 2-2 other than those two giveaways. One of ours was gifted too, but we had other chances too. Had you said after the 3-0 went in that we'd lose by just 3 I wouldn't have believed it.

But another terrible result, finding new ways to lose even though we thought we'd been through them all. Potentially new important injuries. Feels dreadful despite some of those positive signs.

Think the players showed good fight and mentality, but gifting 3 goals at the start what can you do after that.
 
What a cheap, low comment. Throwaway but yeah, not really...studs up, nowhere neart ANY ball I can see...

That's literally what was going on. People were complaining that the football wasn't Tottenham football and would be happier with worse results.

We began to play more expansively and got worse.

There was a section of the fan base that never gave the man a chance.
