***Tottenham v Brentford OMT***

But its also a lesson having a well run club, with continuity, a plan and clear vision. They have been a steady club for a few years now.

We are the antithesis of this; new coach, new players, starting all over again for the 8th season over, deadwood/not good enough players. This wasnt going to be fixed in 2 months - we probably wont see a consistent, decent side until next year. Society these days wants instant fixes and results to everything - this isnt going to be the case here. Yes we have spent but we have also recouped. Spending big on two midfielders, one of which isnt fit to start, doesnt fix us into a top 4 team.

You simply dont take a team finishing 17th last two years and within 3months (with a world cup) make them into top 5 challengers.

Agree
But you also can’t just over react to one game
If we play like this Saturday and the week after…. Then there is a possible issue
If it’s the same after 10 games then it’s a a real issue
I don’t think it will be

The Mike Tyson quote about punches to the face and plans always comes to mind. Brentford brought aggression and that was the end of us. Bergvall trying little tricks in our defensive third that would have come off in preseason. I don't really blame him as how else will we break the press in the way the manager wants.

He could try passing the ball, unfortunately that isn't really in his skillset.
 
Ultimately, it was the sense of entitlement from us that bugged me the most. We started like Brentford should stand off us and just let us pass the ball around at our own leisure. Then when Brentford got into our faces we refused to work as hard as them and play with as much intensity as them. We were second to balls that we should be winning.

This is the massive cultural shift RDZ needs to address at our clubs. You can't simulate that in pre-season unfortunately but we have so many t-shirts of it happening this way over the years.
 
That was abject, absolutely awful.
I wasn't sure what to expect, it clicked and were really good, or we were poor and struggle with all the changes.
But I did not see that coming, even after seeing the line up which was odd imo.
Trying to console myself with the thought that we looked good in the first game of the season last year under Frank before it went belly up, who's to say it can't flip.
What worries me though is that I couldn't really see what we were trying to do.
