“Star In The Making”, “Absolutely Sensational” – These Spurs Fans Thrilled With Debut Boy

Im the source?! Very much doubt it as people that understand footy can see what’s happened under Jose and it’s not looking pretty.

How many abominable performances does he need to serve up before people conclude that he hasn’t improved us whatsoever?

Spurs Are known for playing a certain way, even since the days of Arthur Rowe (well before my time!). George Graham was a bad fit not only because he was ex Ar5ena1 but because his approach was so bloody dull.

If we turn our back on the football values that are part of the club’s identity what are you left with? Sure if you win lots of stuff playing dull footy that’s one thing but if you aren’t winning stuff that way, what’s the point?

The 2 managers you mentioned says something too. Ole under pressure, constant job speculation and the newbie Lampard at a struggling Chelsea both comfortable tacticians against us. Klopp never without a smile yesterday.

Instructions, long ball to Moura and Son on the counter. Why did we up tempo later in 2nd half? We had 2 footballers on the pitch in Lamela and Lo and the whole dynamic changed.
Good management?

I know, it’s an excruciatingly embarrassing situation.

I think we could do worse than Graham Potter. It’s strange that he was given a big contract extension at Brighton not long before Poch was sacked.

Perhaps Levy was sniffing around? I quite like the look of him and at least win, lose or draw we’d keep the ball down and play some bloody football…

He’s a modern manager.

And we were better than them 3 years ago, now people are gushing to get a 0-1 at “home” against them.

If you include Bayern then 4th big match. Tanganga was a highlight, was good to see him play at that level and look ready, albeit in a man marking role on Mane.

I agree, people are kidding themselves that we did anything other than avoid a hiding yesterday. We played like that’s what we were trying to do as well. Had Kane played then perhaps that late period would have brought a goal but it was too little too late.

Alastair gold is reporting we may be about to do a deal with Palace that involves kwp and benteke coming our way, both loans. Sorry, but if that’s the case I will psss myself laughing. Look at the evidence. A chairman who has booked guns n roses for CL final night. Loads of faith there Daniel, be mildly amusing to see us make it and watch him squirm before we get a hiding off whoever we play. All previous managers saying we didn’t get what we wanted basically, and now poor Jose stuck with same scenario and has said so. And in the middle we have a bloke who got us to the final last year, consistent CL football, no home ground for nearly 2 years, no transfers for a couple and we have people slagging him off. I find that staggering. The proof will come when a serial winner like Jose turns round and says there’s nothing I can do, and it will come. Anyone says that he has asked for benteke best get to the Dr quick style, cis you got real mental health issues. I’ve said it til I’m blue in the face, but there’s one thread that’s remained constant and that is the Prince of darkness. We mover into that place so we could get benteke on loan???? Joke.

Talk of strikers hitting a purple patch Dany Ings, Danny Ings, Danny Ings!! Boy came good. Well done me lad!!

Easty IMO you a being a wee harsh. Yes first half Liverpool were the dominant force but in the second half we upped the tempo spurning some presentable chances at least one of which we ought to have converted. Yes whilst we still lost overall slightly more upbeat, better than expected.

I don’t understand how these players, )including Winks and Eriksen) could play such slick passing football a couple of seasons ago and now they can’t string two passes together.

Jose’s approach reminds me very much of AVB (unsurprisingly). It’s never going to be on the front foot, it’s always reactive.

The reason why it’s a dated approach is that most of the big sides play the high press style. If you try and soak that up and sit in you will concede eventually.

Playing to ‘frustrate’ the opposition is not fitting for a top side and especially at home. Despite missing Kane and Sissoko. It’s what bottom half teams do away, to try and pick up points.

At the end of the day we lost yet again to another big club. We have lost EVERY game against top 6 opponents so far under Jose.

Think about it, this is the born winner, the tactical schemer and the the man for the big matches right? You’d have thought against Utd and Cheatski that he would have had particular points to prove.

Ok, he’s our manager now so give him some time but the main issue right now for me is the approach, win, lose or draw. It no longer cuts it at the top level.

You can have 300m to spend like Jose did at Utd or be working with a stale and jaded squad as he is at Spurs. Fundamentally this approach is slowly looking more and more like old hat.

Besides, we are Spurs so I rather see us lose 4-3 rather than 1-0 all day long. Playing like you’re trying not to get beaten rather than at least trying to take the game to the opponents just isn’t in our DNA.

Jose is doing his best the way he knows but I see no long term future under him whatsoever…

Klopp “I’d like to thank the stadium designer on making a large fantastic away changing room”………see, it was worth all that money after all…
