The Current State of Spurs (and some sympathy for Thomas Frank)

It's a good thing if the players can execute it. If we are barely managing a shot on goal, then the methods aren't working. There needs to be one base way of playing. It's our foundation. It's what the team should be coached on at the beginning. The other methods need to develop once we get one right. We have zero right at the moment.

He did have a base way at beginning and people werent impressed with it. Think he figured out the best way to play with what we got.

We were harder to beat and scored from set pieces. It likely wasn't sustainable but it may have been if we got thru to this window and summer. It wasn't a great watch but neither is this and we are losing.

I tell you what. I would like us to go back to aug/sept when we were scrambling results. Now we are just getting ding dong done.

Again our summer window wasn't great considering the board knew we were heading into champs league. Knew since May Son was going and did naff all about it

I have no hope for the next couple of games

Yup, who’d have thought that when your home form is actually relegation zone level for over 12 months then fans would become critical and we’d end up in a negative spiral… hopefully the painful rebuild shall finally take a turn for the better next month after half a decade of shoddy wheeler-dealing which has left us with a Curate’s Egg of a squad.

It was more a case of we/Frank got figured out after the first few games. Teams could see all we did was sit there and try to defend, with any attack plan being give it to Kudus or just throw it into the box.

Defensively it was never sustainable frequently inviting pressure and since teams worked that out they would easily negate Kudus and ask 'Ok, what else have you got?' And the answer has been not a lot....

I didn't see anyone saying at the start of the season they expected to be challenging top 4. The consensus seemed to be around 6-8 which seems pretty fair. Everyone agrees that the squad needs improvement, but the quality of squads across the board outside 3 or 4 clubs is nothing special.

It can be dressed up any way you want, the quality of football played this season and sitting 14th in the league is nowhere near par for this squad....

Who’d have thunk that after missing out on 2 proven Premier League attackers who migh’ve filled the void left by Kulusevski, Son plus Maddison and instead pinning our hopes on a prodigious journeyman who makes Bryan Gill look like an elite weightlifter whilst reinforcing our midfield with an old fashioned DMF who struggles to pass forwards that we’d continue the bottom half form which which has seen us average just 1.3 points per match for over 100 PL games…

One more win than Leeds, only one club below us that isn't openly in the relegation battle, unable to string a set of results together, one of only two clubs to give up points to Wolves .. list goes on. The squad isn't that bad either.

And the excuses have started .. it's so frustrating, we all know where this goes from here.
