Nuno Espírito Santo - Sacked

Trouble is if you keep making the wrong managerial appointments then drawing the line in the sand wrt the players is futile.
 
How many players are still here since Poch’s last season and how many have joined? I don’t know the turnover, but imagine it’s plus 15 in and plus 10 out? That’s a decent squad overhaul isn’t it?

But how many of them signings would you start?

I frequently read Tanguy (signed for Poch) has to start or we don’t create. We haven’t scored a league goal with him on the pitch
We brought Lo Celso in to replace Eriksen (massive task) and then everyone plays him right mid/wing… odd, very odd
We buy Romero but weirdly today he started Sanchez who was the wrong side too many times for me. They were situations where judgment is key and he got it wrong

games are win in midfield and our two best are defensive midfielders
 
Lucien Favre
Marcelo Gallardo (salary is $1.5m!)
Potter (assuming he would leave)

Who else is there?

It says something that the manager if *Brighton* might not be gettable

No one is leaving a club during the season, the only thing that might help is it’s 5 games in.
 
how does he get fans onside

Actually trying to win games rather than playing cowardly defensive football?

The only way Nuno succeeds at Spurs with his tactics is getting top 4 and trophies, and we're a million miles from that

Playing defensive football and finishing, say, 5th isnt enough

He played like that last week and got spanked
The players can’t play that way yet as arguably their incapable or not fit enough yet (or both)
He also needs games to work out who he can trust and who he can’t
Games like today show that Tanguy for all the talent just isn’t it
Dele for all his history will
Never make a midfielder
That’s actually useful for him to know

The first 45 mins last week was our best half of the season. He should keep with those tactics
 
He’s got to ditch the 433 . We need to play a 4-2-3-1. Tell Kane to stay high and occupy the CBs . Any of Son, Moura , Gil , Tanguy , Lo Celso in the 3.

So let me get this straight... we are a million miles from top 4 yet achieving 5th - by whatever means - is not enough?

Talk about deluded expectations....

No. Playing defensive football when we retreat back to your half and given the other team most of the ball isnt good enough unless we're really achieving something.

With football today, there is a huge difference between 4th and 5th given CL football is light years ahead of the EL in terms of money and prestige
 
The right man yes, not any man - you get time by showing yourself capable. If you don't then time will run out
I agree
But again to show capability that takes time
Poch first NLD was a 1 - 1 draw. But we had no shots on target. I can’t actually remember how we scored but it was Chadli
He also managed us to get beat there quite a few times with no wins in the league
We didn’t want him sacked
I do also remember a lot of fans wanting Poch gone early as he had some shocking results
And we didn’t really know how we were playing in some of those games
