Mura are playing for little more than pride as they can no longer finish in the top two of UEFA Europa Conference League Group G following a harsh introduction to continental group stage football (L4). While unlikely, a third-place finish is still possible, but they must win their remaining two matches, starting with this one against Tottenham Hotspur, who hammered them 5-1 on matchday two.
As the curtain falls on their ‘home’ European campaign (they host UECL games in Maribor), Mura is winless in six competitive matches (D3, L3 – 90 minutes), including a brace of UECL defeats to Rennes.
They have at least found the net before half-time in each of their last four home fixtures (W1, D2, L1 – 90 minutes) so could be dangerous early on.
That might give Tottenham cause for concern, as they’ve conceded an average of one first-half goal per game (W2, D1) since Antonio Conte took charge.
That unbeaten run has seen them showcase battling qualities, including coming from behind against Leeds United on Sunday (W 2-1), a trait that might stand them in good stead as they battle to secure a top-two finish in the group.
While victory here would be enough if Rennes also wins against Vitesse Arnhem, a slip-up could see ‘Spurs’ entering match day six needing a result against Rennes.
Mourinho wanted to sell him.. Levy said no… the rest is history
Actually Mourinho wanted Diaz…Skrinar was who he wanted much later but we wouldnt pay the money..
I said at the time of his appointment he’ll be gone in February for which I was largely laughed at….
Ultimately tho, Sanchez got done as he cant play on the left of a 2 /3 CB partnership he never has, and conte should have known this… Mourinho will be chuckling away..😂
It’s true, their fitness levels have slowly disintegrated since Poch left. Interesting that Dier was saying that it’s been like having Poch back in training with Conte.
Jose didn’t kick their backsides enough in training, his way is to say ‘hey you, show me how good you are and do what I say on the pitch, if you don’t do it then you don’t do it, it’s all down to you” This sounds good but som e players need to be shaken out of their 75k a week comfort zones and worked hard to wake them up…
On what basis?
30m
We need three quality midfielders and two defenders in January just for starters.
And, alas, same players!
Watch Conte’s press conference. Holy cow Batman.
Conte said “everything” needs to change at Tottenham.
That’s the diagnosis right there and the gauntlet thrown down in front of Levy.
If Conte doesn’t get the players he wants in January I believe he will walk.
If he gets players in January but more quality players aren’t bought in the summer he will definitely walk.
But we won’t get dumped out will we, we’ll end up barely qualifying from the group and have to play even more matches while in the process knackering our already knackered squad in order to remain in the knockout rounds of this utter Schmidt show of a competition. Doers do and can’ts can’t, this is a squad of can’ts.
We were sh*t and lost… 😂
ENIC have turned us into a bad joke. All mouth and no trousers. Best stadium and training ground, Best ‘fan experience’ and ‘player experience’? What and win nothing for 22 years?
I honestly think Levy is so out of touch he might as well be living in the US… oh, he does for half of the year! which figures…
The back passing is of a good standard (and very frequent as well)
I think Sessingnon being lauded as this young talent yet to be unleashed since the weekend was another example. Even did a pre-match presser today. Then he gets himself sent off in a turgid team display.
If anything summed up Levy’s spin being at odds with the reality of how this club is run, that did, perhaps in microcosm.
ENIC have been taking everyone as mugs for 23 years, the most worrying aspect is that they seem to keep doing it, despite the track record being laid bare as it is. Ignorant, underhand, lying w*nkers. No wonder Kane wants out…
Did you watch the hype and spin about winks in all over the place last week to try and polish and force Conte’s hand, from there you can see the Egomaniac Baldy philosophy is intact and did not change an iota with the hiring of Conte, this is Mourinho wisdom when he said one day the quote “Same players different Managers” that sums up this club under Enic/Levy reign.
Do you ever believed Spurs problems were managers? this is where it gets tricky. Enic/Levy fundamentally believe hiring managers are best option and cheaper for them than to recruit decent players, anybody who believes that philosophy changes with hiring Mourinho or Conte must be deluded i guess. you won’t root out that thinking unless you remove the source of that philosophy and that is why I keep on saying always egomaniac Baldy Levy to leave the football side of this club if we want this club of ours to ever win anything and succeed less than that is just spin and dancing to the tune of Enic/ Levy.
Exactamundo, but I hope for his sake he isn’t one day coming back, he doesn’t deserve this and Levy doesn’t deserve him. I’ve got too much respect for the guy to see him humiliated twice by our little monster.
This was a new low…
Anyone who thought Jose could do his thing with a squad drilled from a young age to play a totally different way obviously knows nothing about football. the squad has no identity because the way the club is now run has no identity either.
Surprised that Jose took the job, surprised that Conte did. It must be the wages. As for Pochettino, I’m sure he was happy to get out in the end…
I reckon there are cliques in this squad. Bergwjin and Doherty were both atrocious signings, Tangy is obviously unable to function as a balanced human being.
Sessingnon, Rodon, Gil, Clark just aimless punts on being good enough ‘one day’ and must be wondering what they’re signed up to. The rest are players who have been worn down by the hopeless lack of direction from the bald plonker. Just a complete mess…
Anybody know what our style of play is because I dont.
The standard of passing has deteriorated so much since the end of the Poch days and I dont see a pattern or style that these players look comfortable in, especially in the final third. This is no reflection on Conte of course but this is very concerning, we are million miles away from top four.
If we can get dumped out of this sh*t at least it will put us out of our misery. Then in Jan we can loan out or get out all the dead wood and punts that aren’t going to contribute to the domestic campaign. Bring in a couple of key experienced players to go straight in the first team and let Conte do his job.
At least Antonio has seen the extent of the issues within our squad in stark detail tonight. If Levy tries to fob him off about how great this lot could actually be if someone worked some magic on them, I hope Conte looks to the ground and chuckles to himself. Thinking “wow, it’s true what they say, this guy really is an idiot!”.
What a mess Danny boy has created for himself, you reap what you sow, schmuck…
Pre game quotes from Auntie Mura….
” I’ve got a bit of knitting to finish, but after that’s done I’ma gonna smash these clowns into next week”
Went to make myself dinner instead of the second half. What the hell happened at the end??
All this negativity.
The Academy will save us I read it in Daniel’s report.
Anyone know if Donna is still spotting youth talent or has that finished?
😂
100% correct. These people have no othering to substantiate their claims that he had to go. In fact the evidence since he left makes their claims quite absurd. Sure, things went downhill after not being backed, no signings for over a year etc. Who’s fault was that?!
It’s madness. Zero respect for Conte after this mercenary u turn.
How’s the 57th’ world class Manager’ stint going?
And rightly so, most of them are awful
The rot runs deep. Very deep. Most of these players hate each other.
Lad’s not got a football brain or any cerebral matter whatsoever.
I’m just imagining Levy with a pair of those big floppy shoes on getting into a car that falls apart.
The way Sanchez got done for their winner proves he will never come good. Ges had 5 or 6 years to make it, another one for the scrap heap.
And the most debt!
Circus tent more like.
Never mind lads we still have the best stadium in the land .
Pride wins the day then ,we ain’t got none.
Exactly. Ndombele being a classic example.
Mura are playing for little more than pride as they can no longer finish in the top two of UEFA Europa Conference League Group G following a harsh introduction to continental group stage football (L4). While unlikely, a third-place finish is still possible, but they must win their remaining two matches, starting with this one against Tottenham Hotspur, who hammered them 5-1 on matchday two.
Hmmm….
A joke of a competition that shouldn’t even existst and we’ve managed to bottle it. Conte doesn’t need time he needs 15 or so new players.
And I don’t blame him. Who the heck is going to want to manage this Levy induced sh itshow? Dysfunctional squad is being polite. Levy has dug such a deep hole for himself there is no longer daylight reaching it.
Well done to the candlestick makers ,fully deserved.
They deserve better
Without question. He’ll take his £30m and run.
So we need a win, not draw, just to finish second…haha..no chance…
So what is it, 10 players + out in January? Or does Conte have to start a mutiny?
The best bit of Levy dribbled down his father’s leg.
Great result. Conte got to see first hand the amount of junk that needs shifting. Absolutely hilarious finish to the game.
He’s effing useless.
Bring back Ginola and the 90’s…that was more fun an d we didn’t owe 875m
It’s so embarrassing being a Spurs fan, regardless of who the manager is. Chelsea weren’t this sort of crap when Conte joined them, and also he got what he wanted in the transfer market. Levy will pretend to buy a couple of worldies who we’ll miss out on due to “the structure of the deal” which in English means “what – I’m not paying that”. And we’ll get a couple of £20m donkeys instead, Conte will be gone before contract renewal time.
Shambles from top to bottom. Shambles.
Chief clown Sanchez
Empty……shame Levy’s dad’s balls weren’t.
WOW! This is the lowest Spurs have sunk in recent memory.
I’m beyond bored of these players. F*ck me.
Chelsea vs Juv 4-0…Spurs……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Sanchez has been done there. Utterly useless!
i can’t stand seeing half these players in a Spurs shirt anymore…
Levy’s clown club!
This team only lost 1-0 at Rennes. PSG lost 2-0 at Rennes in the French League this season. Just saying!
Comical
Ohh dear…
Funny how no managers fancy him isn’t it? Or are you saying Conte has got it wrong?
Son has been poor as has Moura….Kane has tried but…
Lucas is the least of our problems, at least he works his size 7 socks off every week. He only cost £20m you can’t expect miracles.
Poor Lucas
normal service resumed
He needs to go back to his level, MK Dons.
Leave it out Rodon is better than any of those
Yep, and you know who is clueless about football and running a football club. Otherwise he’d see the current set up is creating a culture of disinterested wage thieves.
Mourinho wanted Skriniar and Levy got him Rodon instead, says it all really. The problem at our club is small, bald and tight.
Wasnt it Sanchez who made the mistake for their goal, yet the unblemished Rodon is taken off.
Oh yes I forgot Rodon, or Rondon as Clive Allen keeps calling him. Off with his head also!
Rodon, Doherty, Gil & Alli, all taken off after 54 mins. Such a shower!
I hope they don’t think they are too good for this competition.
Rodon & Doherty would be lucky to get a Premier League club if they left us now. They all need to get a grip.
So it’s a not-so-fond farewell for good to Dele, Doherty, Ndombele, Sessignon and Sanchez. Either lazy, useless or both.
I don’t think either Mourinho or Nuno concentrated enough on their fitness. They’ve gone steadily downhill since the days of Poch. Lazy wage thieves.
This does make me wonder how unfit these players were. I guess the recent weeks with Conte has hit them hard.
A lot of turd polishing is needed to sell some of them for decent money in Jan.
Make your mind up !
Now thats like the old Kane
He did score 15 goals for Fulham one season at age 17.
Another nice bit of work by Moura – our best attacking player this season. But this is embarrassing.
I remember THFC were joint favourites to win this Mickey Mouse cup we will be lucky to qualify
Bit like his hair !
Another Kane fail
that transfer saga has fooked him up
Mura will lose a man soon. We’ll scrape an ugly draw. Groundhog Day. What a life being a Spurs fan.
Dele Ali had the world at his feet. His fall from grace is rather tragic.
Levy has assassinated this club beginning with the failure to support our greatest manager of recent years. It all went downhill from there, and there is no way Conte can sort this mess out in just 18 months. People who slag off Poch are cutting off their noses to spite their faces. Idiots with short memories,
There’s a couple if these Mura lads doing well to still be in the pitch
Where is the real Harry Kane? This imposter is useless.
Sessegnon a young Bale? What like when Bale was 4 maybe?
I’m sorry but Sessingnon gets praised by the new manager, does a pre match presser about finally getting his chance and he does this. Along with Tangy, it strikes me we sign players too often who’s attitude is all wrong. No due diligence at all…
Someone needs to tell Tanganga never red. Those boots need to go
Two minutes later we look totally different. Tempo, intensity and desire seems to have lifted
This just proves Levy will not let it go with these players….ffs…SELL THEM…
even the live radio commentry on spurs tv is shocking
The look on Dele & Doherty’s faces as they leave the pitch. Conte’s got these wasters sussed. I don’t expect to see them in our shirt again thankfully.
“Goodbye”…”goodbye”….”goodbye”….and, still time to grow Bryan, sit down and learn….
