    Come on...lets talk in relative terms here. Newcastle went into game with 13 injuries. By the way, Spurs had nearly 75% possession against Newcastle. But had only 2 shots. And with 25% possession, they only pressed us when they need to. When they did, they were effective... And Newcastle with...

    Arsenal & Liverpool are sides who will play their own game. How about the rest of the games ? Dont they matter ? Still not agreeing opponents worked us out ? I would think even the staunchest Ange fan, would probably agree to this.

    Go into the Half time with a lead - done it just once in 2024 (against Everton when we lead 2-1 at half time)

    So, you dont agree that opponents worked us out interms of stopping buildup play ? It has nothing to do with balance of attack. We have been stopped from progressing football. Core of the success came from how well Bissouma Sarr Maddison did in midfield and how our inverted fullbacks worked to...

    You cant simply quote Klopp & Arteta, forgetting what they actually did. Klopp & Arteta kept experimenting. They never settled for one approach early on. Arteta tried from back 4 to back 3, playing without striker etc etc. I want to see evidence that Ange will adapt his style where needed with...

    Well, didnt we implement the style in first 10 games ? Answer is opponent worked us out now. This is now not on players. Manager has to find a way past it. And what did manager do ? nothing. And we cant now say, well we have not yet implemented the style and we need more better players... We...

    Simple... Opponents worked us out. Go man for man pressing. Spurs cannot build out from back anymore with ease. Fulham & Wolves did it, Howe mastered it. Lack of Richarlison or his type, only adds more problems in this context as Vicario has no out ball

    Only problem with this kind of argument is, if you know attack is badly balanced & lacking in fundamentals....would you still play the way you play and get murdered every time ? And ofcourse, it doesnt talk about set piece issue, which is our no1 issue in past 12 games

    100% Spurs can play highline but can afford to keep one more man behind, instead of it being a 2v2. We can defend far better in corners. One of the unaddressed problem is , who is responsible for front post. For nearly 8 years, Kane been single handedly winning headers & defending front post...

    How about just once in 2024 calendar year, Spurs have lead a game going into half time. or How about last 4 out of 4 teams lost ? In that 2 of the teams had 12+ players out, and still bashed us ? Or How about just one odd away win since 15 dec 2023 ?

    Great thread on how attack could be far better with far better players.... But addresses none of the actual defensive problems...

    Vulgar ??? Managers capability is seen IMO in adversity. These are facts ; Dispute them if you see any.... Ange team was brilliant start of season until as we know the injuries hit.There was simply too many injuries so it was very reasonable to see why we hit some bad form. Then, we got back...
