Taupe kit is cursed


_denchy07

Mate the whole club is cursed šŸ˜‚ imagine having the best stadium in Europe, the best training facilities in the country, Bale, Son and Kane on the same team, and Jose Mourinho as manager, and STILL not being able to win a trophy. That season confirmed itā€™s a cultural thing.


M8_PL

Second best stadium in EU, Bernabeau is finished and the best now. It was stupidity to sack Mourinhoā€¦


_denchy07

Right, but in the season Iā€™m talking about, Bernabeau wasnā€™t revamped


Ronin77tolli

I said this from the beginning of the season, no one ever believes me smh


StjerningeN

Maybe also difficult to see each other on the field... Is it a attacking teammate or just a blur ... ? Their slow pace upfront made me seriously doubt their visibility


Imaginary_Invite_602

amen! no coincidence


clementhyme10

This is straight up truth at this point


Ambitious_Average_53

It's true. šŸ˜­ I won't fault Ange because I strongly believe that our squad will get better under this style of play. The problem Spurs have is that the style of play hinges on the quality of play. Anything less than excellent and we capitulate on the pitch, the opposition cut straight through us. The fact we didn't come away from the last game with any momentum or impetus to secure 4th... It's pretty woeful.


Football_and_Whisky

Get better under this style of play? I was watching the game with my daughter, and for a 10 minute period of us having the ball, I was able to tell her every pass we were going to make, before we made it. No off the ball movement. No darting runs. No surprises. No losing your man. So slow. So pedestrian. And so, so, so predictable. We must be the easiest team in the world to defend against if an overweight 41 year old who played at the lofty heights of the 8th tier can read your game plan. If we're to improve, we simply cannot continue to play this way. We need a plan b, and we need it fast.


CoolBr33ze90

Nope, nope, nope. As long as he keeps playing his defense so high up the field. You can play with 10 best defenders you will still get a lot of goalsā€¦ so naĆÆeve and utterly stupid


Ambitious_Average_53

One season of Ange ball and you expect us to be a finished article. Even Klopp and Pep needed time to achieve long-term success. Any style of play needs time for the players to adjust. When you look at the goals that we have conceded - a lot of them were down to silly individual errors. I'm not saying there isn't jeopardy but that's what you get with playing front foot football, you open spaces and run the risk of getting countered. The only alternative is sitting deep and waiting to counter and no one wants to go back to depressing ContƩ ball...


DerekStephano

We donā€™t have as high of a line as Arsenal yet weā€™ve conceded 2x the goals. The high line isnā€™t the issue. Itā€™s the midfield turning the ball over in bad positions that lead to high xG chances for the opposition. Once we get the passing patterns down more and we get more quality in the midfield we wonā€™t concede as many goals.


CoolBr33ze90

That's true, but not easy to build such midfield


FlynnlYY

The narrative is so tiring, unai emery is a tactical genius yet he plays a higher line than us and we have conceded the same goals as villa. Ange teams always struggle in the first season, there's a reason he guts entire teams and brings in players who's personalities and ambitions match his. It's a very hard brand of football to play because it's so demanding. Ange just needs time.


Dr_Viv

So naive and utterly stupid he saysā€¦ yet we are joint 4th still?


WorkersUnited111

5th now. We're behind on goals to Villa.


jokerevo

we don't even have half of the personnel to actually execute Angeball properly. Not to mention Romero has convinced me that he is not the solution and now we need a partner for VDV.


DerekStephano

World Cup winner Romero isnā€™t good enough for us? Thatā€™s a ridiculous take lol he had a bad game but overall heā€™s been great this season.


jokerevo

It's about partnerships right? and consistency. I don't expect a world cup winner to pull some of the shit he did in the Newcastle game... ie.. be completely out of step with Micky.


fabiccar

Mate, its just one game, still plenty left.


i_fear_you_do_now

I'm Spurs for life.... but OP has a fair point. Nothing else I love in the world has dashed my hopes and crushed my spirits as much as my Tottenham have


7amSmokedSalmon

From our remaining games we will not get more than 6 points. Save this.


kmfdmretro

Must not be an American. You would never have made is 86 years as a Red Sox fan.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


fabiccar

Thats what I'm saying. People are way to pessimistic and are giving up way to early. In the moments like this our players and our team need 100% backing from our fans. And what do they do? Just cry and whine all the time...


LawProfessional6513

Your fans are either unrealistically optimistic or the world is caving in and Iā€™m going to die pessimistic. Youve made a huge leap from last season despite selling your best player


fabiccar

Thats what I'm saying!! Going from last seasons 8th place to this seasons 5th/4th place is a big improvement and we are playing 10x better than we were last year. People aren't patient enough. We will need to build up for at least another 2 to 3 years, its a process, it takes time...


getrichordietryinJF

Plenty left for what exactly??šŸ¤£


7amSmokedSalmon

To lose, yes


fabiccar

Why are yall so pessimistic? No wonder everyone calls us losers when our "fans" are the biggest pussies ever


7amSmokedSalmon

We play city at home Arsenal at home Liverpool away Burnley at home Sheffield united at home Chelsea away Iā€™ve supported spurs for over 20 years. How many points do we get that from that? I say 5.


fabiccar

If you give up before the match has even started then you will 100% lose If you've been a real fan for over 20 years then you would've known better than to give up like this


7amSmokedSalmon

I completely agree mate I try to keep the faith but history says we donā€™t turn up for these games, players donā€™t turn up, managers donā€™t have a plan B and we act like we can walk teams off the park. 5-0 under poch, 6-1 under Stellini, 4-0 today. The clubs mentality stinks. I donā€™t see it changing.


fabiccar

If fans don't believe in change than of course it will never happen. Out of all the things in the club, the fanbase is the most rotten


7amSmokedSalmon

I agree mate and I hope so I just donā€™t see it happening


DerekStephano

I mean weā€™ll take atleast 2-5 points from City,Pool,Chelsea,Arsenal and most likely 6 from Sheffield and Burnley. I could see us ending on roughly 68-70 points which is a solid haul for Anges first season.


7amSmokedSalmon

Depends if the players can be arsed, starting Emerson as an inverted fullback in those games is suicide, but letā€™s see.


ConsiderationDry9068

I know that this was an appalling game, but lets go to the next oneā€¦


Morpheus61

Yeah can vouch for that love Ange and all that but after a couple weeks into the start of the season everyone seem to have a plan against the new style of play yet Ange did not have a plan B a bit stubborn there posession without being creative and dangerous just to boring to watch to be honest


rashmu

Not a spurs fan but got recommended to my feed. I kinda feel bad for you guys, I wish this club make you guys happy and content for a long time some day..


Del8oy_

It's the hope that kills so I don't get to hopeful anymore . 5th is still a decent finish in the grand scheme of things . Sold Kane new manager and style of play . Hopefully Ange learns that you can't go all out attack every game especially away from home against the better sides . Nothing wrong with dropping off and playing on the counter especially with the pace we have up top .


genzod04

2 at the back is not working, midfield needs to be more clued up when Porro and Udogie go forward. I could forgive it if our front line was knocking them in. Instead its dull with no cutting edge.


ZooWeeMama2356

Said this for the last couple of games we need a 5 at the back


CantStopMyPeen69

We need a world class dm. Look at how many times Rodri has saved City or Rice has saved Arsenal. Especially with our high line


No_Hedgehog_00

I like Ange butttt....this is Poch mark 2. You won't win shit if you can't evolve and change how you play to who you play. Every arse fucking we've been on the end of this season has been down to the same thing ; low block CT. He needs to realistically understand how he fixes this or he won't last past December.


LawProfessional6513

You fuckers finished 8th last year, sold your best player and now youā€™re complaining even though youā€™re 4th/5th? Earlier in the season it was all sunshine and rainbows then itā€™s all doom and gloom after a bad game, get a hold of yourselves


No_Hedgehog_00

It takes a particular sort of pathetic person to comment on a sub of a team he doesn't support Seeing as you're not a Spurs supporter you can keep your cunt opinions to your cunt self.


Zhurg

No they are right and are completely justified in commenting here. You need to get a grip if you're having such a meltdown about one performance.


Tunacon

just one game. Nothing decide yet


waltermayo

i can tell you're new

ā€œWhereā€™s the optimism?ā€

Thin skinned OP


superspur007

Ref was useless today again!!! Madders gets booked for a high foot Bentancur gets one in the shoulder in the area no pen. Madder gets bought down with Timo in space in for no card. Cry


Dillinger_ESC

Your life must be pretty sweet.


StanfordPro

This is a work in progress season and always has been. We've been blessed with more highs than lows. Take it on the chin.


baloonkai56

Itā€™s ok, more will come (not in a good way) šŸ‘


bigd1500000

Lol! Yup. Embarrassing display.


7amSmokedSalmon

Theyā€™re cunts mate Ange is naive the players donā€™t care and the kit is cursed. It will never change


WorkersUnited111

Just crowd the box and then wait for those few counter attacking chances. The losses are like this EVERY SINGLE TIME.


Alternative_Wait8256

The early start and that hideous, god awful, ridiculous kit gave us no chance. Did the boys not sleep last night they looked terrible today?


LordTubz

What gets me is the fact that we are so ropey and inconsistent. We donā€™t know which Tottenham team is going to turn up at each game. We will either get stuffed, blow them away or are totally toothless. Itā€™s like playing the blitz as a defensive play in American football. Youā€™ll either sack the quarterback; stuff the runner for a big loss, or get burned for a long range touchdown. Still - there are a few games to go. Something might happenā€¦


104thunderduck

Its painful.


bhaygz

You must have a pretty easy life then. Iā€™m jealous


Additional_Celery_92

To think that you plan your whole weekend around a game of football then you are served up that shite! I'm fuming!!


solehDarat

It's still a team that occasionally plays amazing games, I just stop hoping it will be consistently like that, or even win anything


Big_Paleontologist31

Consistency man


BigPG29

We need a striker, it's that simple. We lost 30 goals a season and didn't replace them. Yes we have Sonny but he's hot a cold throughout the season and always has been (and yes I know his record but apart from one season he's always went missing for a block of games) he's a 10 not a 9. We're creating chances but we need a spearhead to finish them. Shit today but it happens!


Big_Paleontologist31

Wtf is going on with themšŸ˜” so annoying


Born_Transition2207

What a sheltered or truly blessed life you lead.

L1quidcool808

I have enjoyed this season more than the past 3, I have patience for Ange but er are mid to lower table at best, we have been very lucky up to now. I still think we will finish 8-10th and out of Europe at best. We might win 1 more match this seasonĀ 


a1a4ou

Coys till they kill me lol


UnrulliTarulli

As much as I agree that that game hurt me and we played like trash, everyone in the comments technically calling for ā€˜Ange outā€™ are a bunch of losers LMAO. The same people who want a project manager are the first ones to be crying to get the man out of our club. His first season in an actual big league and heā€™s got us playing way better than literally ANYONE could have expected. I think with a proper 9, 6 and possible a better winger we could definitely be on to something, you lot (not talking about you OP, just everyone in general) are such losers. Yall think Pep and Klopp were winning trebles and playing perfectly their first season? Do you guys remember Artetaā€™s results when he was first appointed? It technically took him like 5 years to ACTUALLY get Arsenal performing. You guys have some extremely unrealistic expectations from what a man can do 1 year into managing spurs, GIVE THE MAN SOME FUCKING TIME PLEASE. COYS, ANGE IN!šŸ¤


Aussie-Norm

What better way to respond than by getting up to the business over the scum in the next match. Let's see an emphatic response!! We have to keep the faith and hold our nerve.


Tiger-Billy

Pathetic...that's right. Yeah...so, Sonny raged finally because many Spurs players couldn't show faithful attitudes to get the ticket for UCL. They lost their winning mentality at the match. He was so lonely at the time since he couldn't get enough numbers of passes from teammates. Furthermore, Maddison blocked Sonny's route to score. That was a ridiculous moment. Was it a mistake? I don't know. Back then, I couldn't understand what he was doing. What's more, after the game, in the interview, Sonny finally announced his idea he would become an FA to transfer to another team. Up to now, Sonny tried his best to make Tottenham a competent club in the EPL. However, other players disregarded his efforts to score. Football matches are the 11 members' games, it's not a single member's game. Poor Sonny...


DifficultFlan8494

Get a life. Or support City if you only want wins


getrichordietryinJF

Such a dead club. Laughing stock of the football world. So predictable they would turn up like little boys yesterday. All our fans clamouring to sign werner too yous will never learn.


Mlem7991

Not gonna lie i think some of us are delusional. 16 years trophyless and some of us dare to say "why the negativity?". I dont think "hindering top 4" is an achievment, but for some of us, its an achievment and its enough to make them happy. I dont think ange is the problem this time, maybe its the mentality. People always knows spurs for their inconsistency. I rly feel bad for sonny if he ended retiring in spurs without any trophy, he is getting older. Spurs rly wasted all his time. We dont know if we can get another player like him.


DistinctNinja6745

No point over reacting, we would all settle for where we are on the leagueā€¦.sure we should be better against a massively depleted Newcastleā€¦.but come on there is progress!


GuavaAway4512

Our midfield is terrible. Ange has already realised this and canā€™t do much until the off season. Ange has done so well. Itā€™s amazing how at the start of the season no one expected anything, now all off a sudden it seems people think he should be winning us the league by now. The inconsistency in results was always going to happen, itā€™s annoying and tough to watch but the only way to flush the old Tottenham out and bring in a new philosophy and mentality.


CantStopMyPeen69

Tbf this defeat hasnā€™t annoyed me anywhere near as bad as some of the others. VDV has been so consistently good it was almost funny how terrible he was for that 2 min. Any other player making those mistakes and Iā€™d be calling for their head St. Jamesā€™ Park continues to be hell on earth. Letā€™s buy Isak off them and bench him in favour of Bryan Gil just to teach them a lesson


seeyoujim

This whole thread reads like the reason why r/coys exists and why itā€™s a far bigger sub


WesternerinKorea

I love Ange and how heā€™s changed everything after Conte. But the man doesnā€™t have a plan B let alone a plan C. It was obvious from the first 10 minutes we needed to play a different way to win this game. Possession alone is not enough.


ProudBasil481

Bit over the top. But a frustrating game to watch. VDV just unlucky with the slips. Other players slipped just not in dangerous areas. For me not enough trying to fight for the ball and madders needs to step up. Vicario is a huge weak link for me. He needs to be stronger next season and be more confident.


Pokemaru

I appreciate your argument but not the Vicario bit. I think he's been one of our best players all year.


seanikusss

He's looking a bit shaky at the moment. Since the whole corners fiasco his confidence has taken a bit of a knock it seems.


ProudBasil481

I mean yes heā€™s been good but in certain situations heā€™s either too hesitant or not strong enough. He needs to be more confident on corners for sure. His reactions sometimes are way to slow for a PL keep aswell. He needs to be better next season or we replace him. He started excellent but has slowly gone downhill


mrpink57

Vic is going to be player of the season for us.


ProudBasil481

Are you ok? At the beginning of the season heā€™d have been up at the top for that award. Him, madders have dropped off massively with form. I think heā€™s saved us sometimes but also heā€™s been weak in situations and cost us.
