Understandably with the injury list currently we can’t expect free flowing football, and to an extent I’m doubtful we can expect it at all for the remainder of this season. Perhaps that’s apathy creeping in a bit on my part. The style we are playing is a lot more palatable if we are winning. I think TF is still used to approaching games as the underdog which is easier to take if we’re playing Emirates Marketing Project, but time wasting against Brentford not long into the 2nd half isn’t going to convince people of him being the right fit for the long term.

I don’t think he’s in any danger of losing his job this season, but we have no idea how the Lewis’ will view his tenure so far. Without making this a Levy discussion, I do think when he was in charge he wanted the manager to uphold some sort of Tottenham style and tradition of attacking football. There are obvious appointments he made that prove that wasn’t always the case, but I think it’s fair to say overall he wanted to keep to a style in line with the club’s identity. As of now, there’s no way of knowing how the people in charge will value that club identity.

That said if we lose to Sunderland on Sunday and the stadium is booing, who knows how the board will react.

I never saw them as proactive fluid. I always saw them as a fluid counter attacking team. 24/25 a lot of teams were disjointed. Liverpool effectively ran away with the title -but only managed 84pts, Palace, Forest, Brighton, Brentford, Fulham were challenging for top6. I don't mean to take away from TF because of that, but I always saw them as counter attacking, and could see why Wissa and Mbuemo scored plenty of goals, and Damsgaard get plenty of assists.

But I think TF will cause an opinion split between the fans. I'm absolutely anti-pragmatic football, but that's cos Spurs and Barca are the teams I loved when I got into football and it wasn't pragmatic. However, if we showed anything about what TF wants to do then I could get on board, but right now I just see massive inconsistency. We still look like we can't see defend, and we still look like we can't attack - yet somehow get goals. Something has to improve.

i don't disagree about TF not being proactive fluid
i meant that TF knows how to build a fluid counter attacking team

he needs the right players and kudus is the only one that fits the bill right now.
- odobert, tel, muani - too young and inexperienced
- richy - no dependable for hold up and support play and doesn't know how to lose his marker
- simons - getting better but still below expectations
- paulinha - can break up but can't support attack

hopefully owners and management would have seen enough to get reinforcements
a tricky subject with solanke, kulu and maddison out and returning - do we buy experienced and see their values go down? or risk points by waiting for them.
