Tottenham fans are naturally unhappy at their team’s performance in the Europa Conference League as they drew their first group game away at Rennes last night.
Their season had started in a promising manner with three consecutive wins from as many league games.
However, that run was stopped by Crystal Palace at the weekend with the Eagles beating Spurs 3-0.
Their fans hoped they would beat Rennes in the Europa Conference League last night to return to winning ways.
However, it was yet another disappointing night for them with the Lilywhites now on a run of two games without a win and their performance in the game simply wasn’t good enough.
Spurs lacked the initiative in that game and after they were gifted the first goal, they went 2-1 down before Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg scored a leveller for them.
The club posted a video of the Danish midfielder talking about the game and their fans took to the comments to talk about their disappointment in their performance.
Here are some responses:
Maybe improving got lost in translation! No better than the Palace game, Rennes will be disappointed not to have scored more. This is going to be a long season of disappointments

We are falling with him.
There is no light.
This UCL debut for Spurs could've ended worse if it weren't for Hojbjerg's goal. One point is never a good and expected outcome starting a season, but worse is nothing. 5 more chances for Spurs to show who's the boss!!! #COYS

Boring boring boring nuno came in to play attacking football when will he start Tottenham fans paying to see this rubbish

Many people say Tottenham is a Harry Kane team, but the truth is that we are more Heungmin Son team than Harry Kane team in our counterattack tactics.

Somebody in the Spurs media team needs to tell Nuno to brighten up a bit in press conferences.
It’s obvious by his demeanour that he hates press conferences but his general downbeat attitude is doing him no favours. Inspiring it certainly isn’t.
Earworm of the day, since I posted the comment
Great track.
The main issue here is that Levy promised attacking football and then brings in a defence minded director of football who brings in a clone of Mourinho.
Even in the words that Nuno uses, he duplicates Mourinho’s thoughts on their anti football philosophy. Nuno keeps saying that we were in control of the game, even when Spurs have been getting battered. This is the exact same nonsense that Mourinho regularly came out with.
Not quite as long a THFC supporter as yourself but yes, this is nothing new.
The younger ones may think it’s only during ENIC’s/Daniel Levy’s tenure but there were terrible times under Irving Scholar who near bankrupted the club twice & also under Alan Sugar (a commoner, pre-knighthood) who although a THFC man, seemingly just bought the club as a ‘plaything’ & didn’t really invest the time as his Amstrad empire was more important.
But THFC supporters we remain, through thick &….er sorry, through thin & thin!
Those of a certain vintage might remember these lines from Heartland by The The. If ever a song lyric summed up ENIC’s stewardship….
Here comes another winter of long shadows and high hopes.
Here comes another winter waiting for utopia. Waiting for hell to freeze over.
Since about 1961, I’ve found that every season is a ‘long season of disappointments’. They just vary in amplitude and intensity.
