And who do you think could afford what Levy would ask for them given the lack of income this last year.They won't be here after the summer.
Patience isn’t one of your virtues then?His job is bring us success. He has failed
Whoever replaces Jose (when that happens), I hope it would be someone who will drop any players that are not good enough or who are constantly underperforming.

Yes we may have lost 3-0 or we may have had more chances when they pushed up and won 1-0.It doesn't work like that. Had Dier not given away the pen, the entire game would have gone in a different direction (of which we most certainly would have lost). We may have lost 3-0. The game was clearly not a tie. While Chelsea were not especially great, they were still FAR superior to us - that's how bad we were.
We didn't beat them. We knocked them out on penalties - still counts as a draw.I know this is incredibly menial in the grand scheme of things, given what’s happening to us right now, but has our victory against Chelsea in this season’s League Cup been erased from history?
First BT last night, now Sky...

I think we will raise our game and get a 1-1 drawWho’s looking forward to the West Brom game?
90 mins of punching myself in the face appears more entertaining
So some of the players who aren't average couldn't carry out Pochs bidding before he got sacked (philosophy one) and now they can't carry out Mourinho's bidding (philosophy two)I see a lot of posts talking about average players. I disagree. They are simply asked to play in a way that is beyond them. The manager can do one of two things:
1. Stick to his preferred system regardless of the impossibility of the task
2. Create a system that plays into his players' strengths.
Sadly Jose has opted for the former. Now we did beat United, Arsenal, City with that system, but unlike us, the league has adapted and nullify any threat that we have to offer.
Secondly, the system we have requires the attacking element to basically have a 100% scoring rate, because they will not get more than 2-3 opportunities during a game. That sort of pressure in front of goal would cripple most players, even above average ones.
Dear Dr Tottenham,
Please can you help my husband ? He is 55 years old today and been a Spurs supporter since he was 8. Season ticket holder for 20 years. He used to annoy me when he watched matches on TV, shouting and swearing, but now just sits there laughing manically at Diers defending, Auriers control, Mouras shooting and don’t even mention Sissokos passing. He seems to have lost a lifetimes love of the game in 2 months. Please can you help me get my old swearing shouting belligerent husband back ?
The buck always stops with the guy earning 15mil a year to get them winning. If his system is executable only by an elite few, then it's simply nonsense.So some of the players who aren't average couldn't carry out Pochs bidding before he got sacked (philosophy one) and now they can't carry out Mourinho's bidding (philosophy two)
Not sure what else we can expect of them then, which perhaps means, they are average ...
Thanks for confirming my point.The buck always stops with the guy earning 15mil a year to get them winning. If his system is executable only by an elite few, then it's simply nonsense.
And don't go back to Poch. He changed his own system before his downfall. We stopped pressing and started sitting deeper. When they were presented with a proactive system, the players thrived. When he held them back, they failed.
And it's the same story here.
