Get your coat Frank. Take your chewing gum, Arsenal drinking cups and Vicario with you.

Has to be it, can't continue after 1 point against two teams in bottom 3

Yeah it's a no from me, we aren't going anywhere other than further down with Frank. The excuses about players is redundant having just played two of the bottom 3 and got a massive 1 point. Would have liked him to have the season but reality has hit me that we will genuinely be in a relegation battle at this rate....

I don't get it. He gets on the ball and tried to make things happen! The movement in front is terrible or not there at all more times than not!

It’s the underhit passes and how fudging weak he is that’s the problem.

He’s so easy to dispossess.

Gilzeantoscore · 2026-01-24T17:01:15+0000

Symons turns the ball over repeatedly because he is weak and his passing is sub standard. Don't want him here next year.

Perhaps, but he needs to do way more when we haven't got the ball. I'd like to see a little more Porro on him to be fair.

I don't get that either! He wins the ball back a lot, runs his socks off and gets stuck in! The team is performing terrible! He's got horrendous working conditions!

lol - I doubt he wants to take Vic with him anywhere. He probably wants to take his old keeper Raya with him.

With just a touch of care and precision on our passing that game is a comfortable win. So frustrating watching so many simple things fudged up. It's either a lack of focus or composure.

Would be nice to get a break or two at some point also.

Think the team were so focused on trying to score, whole side just forgot about defending. It happens when a team havn't had zhit to do in defence, no ones set or ready. No excuse. Deeply zhit again, as we were by far the better team.

These two fudgers do it week in week out, don’t stay tight to their men, don’t win headers, don’t clear it quickly, get caught out of position and on the wrong side.

And finishing.

I don't see risky passes not coming off being pulled up - it's the basic stuff he repeatedly fails at that is frustrating

That is fair, he keeps fudging up the simple brick. Under hitting passes, playing them behind the player etc. He needs to up his bottom level because it does kill the attacking momentum when he misplaces a pass again.

Lost 10 points against wolves, Burnley, forest and WHU, 5 of them at home.
That's sackable.

Worth noting on Simons that he played through injury against Dortmund, probably not fully fit today either. Didn't have a good game at all today, no denying that. But he's clearly capable of much more and has shown that this season.

Gutter Boy · 2026-01-24T17:03:59+0000

1 point from our relegation 12 pointers.

In their defence, I can imagine them in a team where the midfield and forwards did their jobs properly and they would be able to just focus on their own jobs. Romero especially is having to do too much in a Spurs shirt. I can see why he may not be laser focused on defending and is working with and extremely tired body in stages of the game. A tired body creates a tired mind. Romero crawled off that pitch today.

Maybe a silver lining here in that something will have to change.

I think we are already in a relegation battle. And there will be no hiding from it after we lose the next four on the bounce.

And you called it previously about him desperately using players who aren't fully fit because of the situation he's in. And then again avoids using Tel until the final minutes, and lo and behold he does something positive. I've lost my patience with Frank tbh....

Il Capitano scores again. I am finding it hard to support TF.

If he didn't give away stupid fudging goals he wouldn't have to worry about what's happening in front of him.

Reminiscent of our form precisely 12 months ago… the PL negative spiral continues…

Tottenham have failed to win any of their last seven Premier League games (D1 L6), their longest winless run in the top-flight since a nine matches between May and October 2008.

I don’t think they live it, look at the difference between them and Danso, they fudge around, he doesn’t.

Their attitude to the position is wrong, the fact the enjoy scoring goals is a red flag too, goals are to be hated, goals are the enemy, there is no place in football for goals.
