Coventry City was more threatening than Spurs during most of the time. I'm getting worried about this season... Some beautiful football moments by Spurs too. Ben Davies's exceptional defense, a high quality pass from Bentancur to Johnson who finished it beautifully. A great goal from Spence with Kulu's assist. A positive point was players on this starting line got their playing time.

2023: Ange get last minute winners in injury time last year i.e (Bottom of the ladder Sheffield) with a full-strength team and everyone praises him, his tactics, mastery and saying it was well deserverd and how we never die blablabla. 2024: Ange gets last minute winner with B team and players underperforming and everyone rips into him saying "un-deserved and that it was a robbery and Ange doesn't know what he doing and blablablabla". Totteham fans have incredibly weak skins and I have never seen bunch of whinging supporters in my entire life. It doesn't matter what Tottenham does you're never happy. It doesn't matter whose the manager, what players you have, what owner. You're the most negative bunch of scrubs of seen in my entire life. You have all this entitlement about you, all you want is to win win win win, as soon as the going gets tough you turn into bunch of soft girls. Lets be honest Tottenham is not a proper top 4 team. Never have been. Yes you might have got inside top 4 on several occassions but you've spent far more time outside the top 4. You need to be realistic with your club. Will you win something? Yeah one day? Sure. But not until the attitude changes... In 100 years you've finished in the top 4 "19 times" 19 times" and you sit their acting all entitled like you're the greatest team on the face of earth. This team is a very inconsistent one. History/data has demonstrated this. It doesn't matter who owns, who coaches and who plays for your club. The culture surrounding it along with the fans stinks..

[@Masterful100]

Watch sours every week and you'll understand the frustration. We are boring to watch + not getting results. You have to have at least one of the above to have the fanbase onside

[@carls1205]

@SgtStressful The fans who have paid for the club throughout its history you're talking about? With one of the highest season ticket prices in the league? Most fans are clinging onto their finances to be able to keep season tickets and for what? To go watch average players and a manager on circa £160k a week steal a living at the club. It's a shambles from top to bottom and we're just supposed to pay our season tickets and clap along while we go into decline?!

[@bravestexasfan123]

We had 70% plus possession but 0 shots while Coventry had quite a few shots on goal in the first half. Geez

[@duncanjarvis5385]

Shocking performance no quality all over the pitch. Ange's tactics are too predictable we are so easy to play against.....sit back soak up the pressure and then hitus on transition. I could coach against us. No plan B. Neither Werner or Johnson want to take on a defender, they cut back all the time. Its no wonder Solanke is struggling we never get the ball into the box. The build up is so slow the opposition have an age to get back in shape. Really really poor!

[@jin12345678]

bigger problem for me is players look completely out of ideas on the ball. angeball never looked as methodical or drilled offensively as man city or liverpool but it was always at least exciting and unpredictable, and had a lot of inspired passages of play. all we see know is hesitation, lack of confidence, always choosing the simple option... worrying signs for sure. but maybe it's just a number of different factors compounding, and ange does have a plan. hopefully.

I've seen enough under this manager to know he's going to flop, even Nuno doing better than him in his second season at Forest, it's totally embarrassing the state of which rhis club is in, obviously Levy is to blame and needs to sell up but he won't, the club is sinking.

[@marais20]

If Ange is going to stick with both full backs bombing on all the time, he needs to play two holders in CM - trying to defend counters with just 3 defenders, DM and the CB’s, leaves us exposed over and over again

[@arty5034]

They did 8 changes for this game - Ange is trying to give game time to those just outside the starting 11, particularly the youngsters. And if he doesn't give them time, he gets lambasted for that too. The guy can't win. He said he's trying to build the depth and consistency in every position regardless of who is injured, so to me it's obvious he can't do that without giving the fringe players game time. And that will mean less cohesive displays for a while yet. The dividends will eventually come though. Let's be patient for a while yet.

[@danielhackett1581]

Until we buy a couple more proper touchline hugging tricky wingers like Odobert (albeit ready made), this system does not suit our players and we should switch to a 343. This system would benefit our 2 fullbacks who are both better on the outside than inside (Udogie with his dribbling, Porro with his crossing) and then our current best wingers (Son and Kulu) are better suited as inside forwards rather than outside. Madders also would suit the inside forward role, Werner also would be better suited in that position. Meanwhile an extra CB would allow Romero to roam forward like he likes to do without losing our structure.

[@tobiasleiter3765]

What's that crap with the "fringe players" and "wrong starting lineup" about? I agree that Werner should be moved down the pecking order, following his atrocious start to the season.
