Wow, Chris proper pissed off today…it’s frustrating but like Melvin said we can’t be biting each others head off…Chris you are one of the must level headed supporters out there so it’s a shame that this one got to you. We will get through this but stay positive. I think you must have been so worked up that you did not notice we actually defended the lead and invited pressure….i didn’t notice any all out attack during the late second a half…:players were exhausted…oh well we move on to the next
Been supporting spurs since I was 6 now be 66 on the 8th of January. Back the ande or will be back to square one .waiting on the coach from game coach so silent. Coys
Chris is forgetting that always the best form of defending is attacking, i vividly remember when these players used to automatically sit back inviting more pressure onto them.
The squad has turned over a hell of a lot. You cannot say these players are referring back to Jose or Conte. Ange has been here for 18 months. I think he instructed them to sit back today because he's getting desperate for points. He knows his head is on the block. Next up, in form Newcastle. Isak banging in goals.
@@karmic-fleaswe didnt sit back, we couldnt press more because players were out of juice anymore. And whenever we got the ball, we still tried to push everyone forward like a headless chicken.
The lesson that people should learn after yesterday's performance from Spurs is that if you're ever drafted into military service and the soldier next to you is a Spurs supporter, run. Odds are they will leave you on your own in the face of adversity
I've got to be honest - I just looked at the PL table and was trying to work out who will win today etc and the effect on our position ..... We could be on a very sticky wicket if scores go against us today. All of that said, I still believe that it is partially our players and partially Ange's tactics that have resulted in our dire straights. I really don't get why he brings on Werner when we have Mikey on the bench. I also do not believe that Sonny should take a break, he is ineffective right now. But I still believe in Ange and I reckon that Levi should as well ......... give him the bloody dosh, Levi, and get some established players in. COYS
So intellectually lazy and easy to just call for the manager to be sacked. Earlier in the season, at full strength, the team had some inconsistency issues (e.g. Brighton, Ipswich) but was definitely 'better' and tighter than last year. + Much improved up front. Stats show this. Then the wheels fell off. Manager could have adapted better for sure. But IMHO this is NOT a situation for sacking in the middle of a disrupted rebuild. That is a mis-diagnosis of the situation. Patience, resolve is required!
All the channels....and I mean all of them were crying for an actual hard rebuild that could take years..... Now they are all peeing their pants 😆 It's this reaction/analysis every game, every 3 days. The internet has killed any rational thinking when it comes to football.
What do you want keep going the way we are under him and face a battle to stay out of the bottom3.Patience tottenham fans have been for 25 year .stupid comment..
Patience and money! We’re not building anything Romero will leave in the summer , son prob next year, what’s the succession plan? Dragusin and odebert? We had harry kane now solanke we’re getting worse whilst everyone around us is improving it’s all on Levy it’s so clear to see and he doesn’t care about the football
What you have stated is the hard truth. Factual. Fans are fans, I guess. I just hope levy is more a businessman than a fan. Makes zero sense to sack a top manager.
Ime a bit of an Aussie novice when it comes to tactics How is it possible to win when you have 10 1st players injured, or am I on the wrong page . Epl is the best of the best and when you lose your best players to injury, I guess its very difficult to win My father in law has been a spurs supporter since the 50s and he still has trust in Ange It takes years to get a black belt so why do Spurs supporters expect Spurs to win every game. My humble prediction is Ange will succeed, but maybe in 3 years He is passionate and believes in developing players to reach the highest levels. Be patient grasshopper..be patient
Did we play a high line when we were 2-1? Or really was there a high line played at all in this match… I don’t think so. Looking at the final goal to Wolves it didn’t appear as though that goal came from trying to play all out attacking football. Unfortunately that was a pretty amazing goal.
I wouldn't count my chickens with Romero even when he comes back . I think all the background talk about Real Madrid has gotten to him . He's gone missing many times this year , especially around international breaks . I'd rather we focus on Dragusin long term coupled with blooding youngsters like Alfie Dorington, and the new ones comming in like Vuskovic. These guys are the future
That's exactly the problem you plan for the future but never for the now. If you keep selling your best players you don't get anywhere. But then again we are a selling club so....
@paullasky6865 I don't think the club is planning to sell Romero . I think Romero & his agent might be playing politics . I think the club looks at Romero as key player , but I don't think his heart is in it . Why would you want someone like that in your squad who expects others to show leadership. He's the one that needs to show leadership. That's why he's there and that's what the club would be hoping for . I just don't think he wants to be here , so why not make some money out of him and find players that want to be Tottenham players first & formost
@ivanm9127 if we paid the right wages and attracted the right players to compliment Romero then he wouldn't want to leave. This is the history of Tottenham
@paullasky6865 Perhaps , but could be the next evolution under Levy . Just like Arsenal , his focus was on building world class stadiums & facilities and securing ongoing revenue streams . So now it might be stage 2 coming up , after finding a decent manager , the next step is to invest in building a strong squad so that Tottenham challenges for honours regularly. Brick by Brick . I'm sure he's got Tottenham 's interest at heart . In Ange he has a fighter , who's had an unusual amount of bad luck . But I can see smoother waters moving forward
A lot of fans don't want to admit it but he's meant to be our only player close to WC. Comparing him to Salah was spot on. Similar age, look at the difference in quality. Salah carries his team, Son is a burden. They both play a similar number of mins too so you can't say one is more overplayed than the other.
My worry is we talk about building for next season but if we finish outside Europe the players that we rate at the club like the likes of van der ven porro and kludo Romero and son could leave in the summer which will make it even more harder for ange it will be a nightmare for us, which is why the board have to act now before it’s to late we have to spend big money in January cos if not I can see them players above leaving and if they do go it will be a massive up hill battle as a club we have to win a trophy or finish top 7 it’s now a must
Chris has lost it. We did change tactics in the second half. We played counter attacking football and sat deeper. Wovles had only one chance in the 2nd half and they scored 2 brilliant goals during the game.
We had players back when the goal was scored, the highline didn't cost us. If people think it does look at man United and West ham. They play compact slow build up football and are leaking goals like water. Before Liverpool we conceded amongst the least and score amongst the most. He is not a crap manager
On the son thing for me he’s clearly still a good player but physically can’t do what Ange is asking of him I.e. Ange is failing to get the best out of our 1 world class player so for me that’s on the manager. Werner is frustrating but has had some good moments and clearly there is a reason why he was available for 15m which is what we’re seeing by comparison let’s not forget we paid 50m for Johnson.
Ricky is a believer and I like it! Ange has his flaws and I’m a huge fan of his. If we sack him now during this storm then we as a club are shipwrecked for the next 4-6 years. Have to give him till the end of the season and bring in some priest/preachers to do some exorcisms and healing ceremonies on this club because we are cursed 100%
Craig Burley on espn fc had the perfect take today on Spurs. Some Spurs fans will get Ange out without any CB's and the Keeper out. I'm not sure what some fans expect atm. No Coach on Earth can fix this. Spurs need 5 players in, 2 CB at least.
Great comments from Melvyn and Ricky. Chris sorry but you were slightly unhinged and rude today. I appreciate the dedication you have to this team and the great channel you've created!
There’s a huge cloud and bad energy at the club right now. It’s up to us fans to have some balls and shift it together with the players and Ange. Atmosphere during home games is non existent. More like a pop concert.
Small memory on all our fans now. Let’s go back to the Halcyon days of Stellini then shall we. When Ange had a full squad and was top of the league last year everything was rosey. He knew how to manage then. But all of a sudden he seems has had a lobotomy and has no clue now. Please give it a spell. Typical Tottenham small minded win now supporters. How has that gone with Conte, Mourinho. Klopp had more than 18 months to build his side. Is it really Ange or the board not investing in quality players. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Like almost every game, We miss the golden opportunities when they really matter. A 2 goal buffer gone. Team sat deeper, long ball played more like everyone begged for. When we need to play the possession game to get ourselves the upper hand, we hand it over cheaply playing tricky panic passes, when Sonny missed the penalty they played with fear rather than fight back intense football.
Don't let your hysteria overwhelm you now . We have 24 points . Isn't that the cut off point for being relegated? Also , we have early kick off Sat against Newcastle. Liverpool have late kick off Sun . And we are at home against them midweek. COYS.
Craig your not being totally honest regarding Son. He's been going backwards for 2 seasons. The club is not a charity. Son in a better team would be much better. But he isn't the player we've seen over the years. Stop being sentimental . This is a harsh league with no room for sentiment . Any top club moves player's on before it gets to this point in their career .
Also when you say do we want a Conte or a Mourinho type manager to come in...that doesn't make sense. There are some very good managers in the Premier League doing well with lesser squads. It doesn't have to be a rebuild. Having no tactical flexibility is ridiculous in this league and costing us a lot of points.
@chriscowlin Happy new year..I wanted to ask your thoughts on away tickets and allocation..at the moment allocation is 12 1/2 Percent goes to premium members which is understandable but do you think the club should allocate 10% of rest to a ballet? Giving those that want to go away a chance of the odd game? I’d love to see what the club would make of such a suggestion as crazy hard to get points up
Chris - I love the show but please moderate a bit more. One person spoke from 1:11.30 to 1:23.41 = over 12 minutes. That's too long to listen to one person. Other than that, I still will listen to the show as it's the only way I survive the bad and the ugly of Spurs....oh and the good times too. 🙃
Ange needs to pack his bags. Ricky acts as though we can either have highline kamikaze nonsense ball or "parking the bus". No, we can have a more fluid manager & attack in patches & defend when we need to like when we had a fkn 2 point lead against brighton. Look at Slot, hes balanced. Anges garbage caused hamstring injuries at celtic as well.
Melvyn's comments are exactly what I've been saying since last season when Radu sat on the bench for most games. I'll reiterate what the former said: Ange only rotates when his hand is forced. Older folks have a hard time changing and I am sorry to say, but I don't think this is a weakness that I can't see him improving (BTW: I'm his age).
None of the team bar Solanke, Kulu and Archie are playing to their ability. Son occassionally appears but does not strive like a Captain, Maddison focuses on Free kicks, the decisions in the final 3rd just dont look like a team all over it. They need rotation, competition for thier place. Levy will help in this window but who will want to come.
The onus is on Levy to rebuild this squad. People comparing the points tally to past managers - this team is not as good as past teams. We have a makeshift back line, not an excuse, a fact. If Sonny was firing and Kulu and madders improved their goal threat we would have far more points on the board from those early games. Get behind the team, Get behind the manager. Or get ready for groundhog day in 18months when we're firing yet another coach. Marco Silva, Franke, Nuno or whoever else is flavour of the month ain't gonna serve any better without recruitment
Ricky, if Son scores the penalty then the game that develops is not the same game that developed after his miss. Ball is kicked of from the center circle and a different game develops. Johnson would not have scored that goal.
The rebuild constantly gets brought up and that the board is not doing enough. I disagree with the negativity and impatience. It's only been 18 months . I'm quite sure behind the scenes there is a strategy and it's being implemented. What's thrown a spanner in the works is the " voodoo style " of bad luck that has happened. That amount of bad luck will destabilise any team . It is what it is . But I'm quite sure be these short term problems will be worked through . I believe that Daniel Levi is a Tottenham fan and cares about the club and & Ange is a fighter and cares just as much
Depth of squad . They need to rotate, get em on steroids , performance enhancers like Chelsea players, Paul Pogba until he was caught. 😂 Most fans don’t know behind the scenes injuries is screwing the rotation of players. Filling in gaps with out of position players because of the injury deficits. Ange is realizing its not as simple as having a star winger playing as a striker. Need more Center backs that have enough strength to play up and run back to the defensive line.
Sorry this pattern of open play for the opposition hasn't changed in 12 months. It is what it is, with this squad of players and manager. This is the limit for Bentancur, Sarr, Bissouma, Porro, Udogie, Johnson, Son, they are not getting any better. So who is going to be sold to make room for improvements? Answer honestly lads .
Craig listing who's to blame. No mention of the fans. This is a problem. If the club buy a player and it's not for enough money that we find acceptable. We freak and accuse Levy of lack of ambition. And it takes the gloss off a new player coming in. We don't wait to see how they play. The same thing with Werner this season imo. Son can play bad most games and Werner play well and miss some chances. The fans are demanding Werner never play because he's stealing minutes from an 18 year old at the club. When the kid plays and it isn't better there's no admission that it was a wrong take. Can you imagine how the fans would have reacted had the club forced Son out when Saudi came for him? So soon after Kane had gone. Son thought he was supporting the club and the fans. The correct decision was to force him to go. The fans would have freaked out and accused levy of hating them and the club. All the drama makes us an easy club to manipulate by the media and opposition fans. Melvyn's got some level headed takes on what he's actually seeing in the games, how the players are actually playing. And he's getting stick for holding an unpopular opinion. I personally am sick of seeing senior players fail to lead the team, when we need them to. Son, Madison, Romero, Bissouma. They get away with their inconsistency by us attacking the board and the manager. This is the thing that Conte was talking about. The Spursy thing. How, bad football is tolerated at the club. Manager after manager. The group of senior players thing pisses me off. And it passed off Hojberg when Conte accused the players of not putting it in. Hojberg wasn't in that click of Kane, Son, Dier, Lloris at the time. The fans wanted him out because they took a dislike to him. Now i hear people saying we need a player like him this season. AND WE DO! We forced him out and couldn't see he was a good player. Now we accuse the board for not keeping a good enough squad. We forced out a player we needed and still need because, why????? Because collectively we're idiots and deserve the shit football and team we get. Sick of this BS. Santo was out manager we forced him out and attacked the board because Kane was trying to force his way out at the time. We need to stop fanboying for players over the club.
Ricky is the best listen. Chris I like but he didn’t have an answer to the question … what could Ange have done different in this game … and could only generalise rather than answer the question
All that manager wants to do is attack attack attack, why not bring on Dorrington and take off one attacking player and see the game out when it gets past the 80/85 minute mark? the more those players attack the more tired they become then it leaves the team weak and they can't defend. This has been a regular pattern, players being run into the ground, injured players coming back only to get injured again, Ange is a criminal and the sooner he goes the better i don't know why fans are still defending this guy when they wanted other managers out for less.
Take Gabriel, Saliba and Raya and have no backups out of Arsenal and see how they perform.. Spurs sat back brilliantly today under pressure, it's impossible to defend with no defenders.
When the club shop is selling half and half scarves and plenty of tourist fans are wearing them in the home stands, do you wonder why the fans are arguing , disgruntled, and the atmosphere is shite. Add in the poor results its a shit storm waiting to happen .
@@leeeales1972 No bud. We didn't. There were 2 players who got injured from time to time (CCV and Hetate with knees), and one young new player from Japan who came in the 2nd year and who got hamstrings but never proved good enough to be first team worthy. Other than that we were golden. It's a myth. In the first 12 games there were about 2 hammy's but that was just in the beginning.
@karmic-fleas so his training at match intensity and playing the same 11 week in and week out haven't had an affect? Of course they have. Also this is the prem not the Scottish league
Sucker punched toward the end of the game as many times before. Nonetheless, with this hard fought draw, Spurs appear to be slowly turning the corner toward the end of the year and the new year...
Sounds like you've finally approached your breaking point Chris. How you couldn't see this a lot earlier with Ange's statements, I'll never know. His philosophy isn't sustainable and this talk you had previously of backing him financially would be suicidal.
Dragusin is making too many mistakes. Passing the ball out he guarantwes he passes to opposition. Too eager to get rid of the ball. He needs to calm himself and look around, pass with intelligence. Midfield need to make thwmselves more aware. Spurs nwed to buy a vocal captain in defenxe or midfield who can sort the rest out. Soneone with bollocks.
Levy OUT, Ryan Mason OUT!!! The two meddlers can go, they've shown where their loyalties lie, AND THEY DIDN'T LIE! The big Euros 6 money money money n f the fans Cup final, mg mates feelings are more kmportant than a Cup win, re Winks vrs Ndombele. Nuff said, so when?
Just give up cheering what Spurs are always losing again and again every year.. no point telling coach or chairman and also players as they not listening to your complaints every year!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I am back here after a.break and same Craig on each video. Craig who is saying that he is frustrated but he.looks.like he doesn't care. Chris was frustrated so Ricky and Malvyn. Craig wake up mate. Is hard to watch you
Would you rather I jumped up and down and swore and shouted? I'm sorry I'm not your cup of tea but I can assure you I do care or I wouldn't be on the podcast!
Have some bloody respect to the guy not everyone expresses being frustrated in the same way he's level headed he's not jumping about ranting and raving it's actually nice to see someone calm
Ricky needs to understand that we don't have these players because Angeball is an injury tactic. We don't have a fully fit squad because Ange won't change for necessity. It's down to Ange it's not down to anyone else.
As a neutral I enjoy watching you play. Ange has said he will 'never' change his way of playing nor his in-game management. So wanting him to change in any way isn't listening to him. What you see is what you get. This is it... I also think the players are clearly being run into the ground in training and in games. The intensity is wearing over a season both mentally and physically especially if there is little rotation. The January transfer will be interesting, I say he needs the rest of the season...but results may hinder that.
Why is he not gone any other previous manager would be sacked and i feel only reason is because levy the tyrant has destroyed our reputation so much in the football world hes afraid to sack Ange .levy needs to go aswell we need the club sold its getting riduculous under levy with poor signings and poor quality..
@sandycultofthesun what are you trying to say.. make a point? Are you a levy hand clapper? Well levy should not have sacked Poch..or Conte but they were not backed theres a difference Ange is out of his depth.
Ange should have brought on Bergval at the 8, Maddison at the 10, moved Johnson to left wing, Kulu to right wing. Lankshear on for Solanke last 15 mins who couldnt run. Forster must be replaced, he is embarrassing. Werner must be sent back to Germany. The players aren't playing as a team, too many selfish players with ego's. They also make dumb errors continually. Club must be sold and Levy and Ange must go. Son must be sold and Kulu or Romero as captain. Stop looking at the ground Ange, ffs.
I like Ricky but it gets to a point where you're just being positive for the sake of it. When Ange could rotate he didn't hence why Romero and VDV got injured again. His record is now worse than Christian Gross.

1971-72 for me. It 's starting to affect my skin tone... 😬😉

How is it possible to win when you have 10 1st players injured, or am I on the wrong page .

My father in law has been a spurs supporter since the 50s and he still has trust in Ange
It takes years to get a black belt so why do Spurs supporters expect Spurs to win every game.
My humble prediction is Ange will succeed, but maybe in 3 years
He is passionate and believes in developing players to reach the highest levels.
Be patient grasshopper..be patient
Those of you calling for Ange might need to have a look at Man Utd. What manager is going to come in and fix this when the squad is so depleted.
Did we play a high line when we were 2-1? Or really was there a high line played at all in this match…
I don’t think so.
Looking at the final goal to Wolves it didn’t appear as though that goal came from trying to play all out attacking football.
Unfortunately that was a pretty amazing goal.
Werner is the most inept footballer I’ve ever seen
I remember spurs in the 90's haha Werner is better than 80% of the players we had.
Ricky spot on!

100% agree with Ricky! As a either player or manager, would you come to the spurs shit show... I wouldn't.
Craig Burley on espn fc had the perfect take today on Spurs. Some Spurs fans will get Ange out without any CB's and the Keeper out. I'm not sure what some fans expect atm. No Coach on Earth can fix this. Spurs need 5 players in, 2 CB at least.
Great comments from Melvyn and Ricky. Chris sorry but you were slightly unhinged and rude today.
I appreciate the dedication you have to this team and the great channel you've created!
There’s a huge cloud and bad energy at the club right now. It’s up to us fans to have some balls and shift it together with the players and Ange. Atmosphere during home games is non existent. More like a pop concert.
Small memory on all our fans now. Let’s go back to the Halcyon days of Stellini then shall we.
When Ange had a full squad and was top of the league last year everything was rosey. He knew how to manage then. But all of a sudden he seems has had a lobotomy and has no clue now. Please give it a spell. Typical Tottenham small minded win now supporters. How has that gone with Conte, Mourinho. Klopp had more than 18 months to build his side. Is it really Ange or the board not investing in quality players. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Chris has rolled out the big guns today 😂
The tying goal was not on transition. We had all our defense back and in position.
Like almost every game, We miss the golden opportunities when they really matter. A 2 goal buffer gone. Team sat deeper, long ball played more like everyone begged for. When we need to play the possession game to get ourselves the upper hand, we hand it over cheaply playing tricky panic passes, when Sonny missed the penalty they played with fear rather than fight back intense football.
Spence at right back Poro on the wing I think he would be great there.
Very disappointing. Things do not seem to be going in the right direction, I'm getting worried!
How long before everyone realises, Ange is totally out of his depth. Can not stand listening to anymore of his arrogant comments …
At this rate we might need an emergency manager to stop us getting relegated
Don't let your hysteria overwhelm you now . We have 24 points . Isn't that the cut off point for being relegated? Also , we have early kick off Sat against Newcastle. Liverpool have late kick off Sun . And we are at home against them midweek. COYS.
@StevenBrown-w5b cut off?
@@paullasky6865 yeah , l believe 22/24 points in the bag meant you will not be relegated . I may be mistaken .
Ricky take a breath bro
Ricky has uncommon sense,, Big up brother ,, COYS
Craig your not being totally honest regarding Son. He's been going backwards for 2 seasons. The club is not a charity. Son in a better team would be much better. But he isn't the player we've seen over the years. Stop being sentimental . This is a harsh league with no room for sentiment . Any top club moves player's on before it gets to this point in their career .
Also when you say do we want a Conte or a Mourinho type manager to come in...that doesn't make sense. There are some very good managers in the Premier League doing well with lesser squads. It doesn't have to be a rebuild. Having no tactical flexibility is ridiculous in this league and costing us a lot of points.
@chriscowlin
Happy new year..I wanted to ask your thoughts on away tickets and allocation..at the moment allocation is 12 1/2 Percent goes to premium members which is understandable but do you think the club should allocate 10% of rest to a ballet? Giving those that want to go away a chance of the odd game? I’d love to see what the club would make of such a suggestion as crazy hard to get points up
Chris - I love the show but please moderate a bit more. One person spoke from 1:11.30 to 1:23.41 = over 12 minutes. That's too long to listen to one person. Other than that, I still will listen to the show as it's the only way I survive the bad and the ugly of Spurs....oh and the good times too. 🙃
100% still supporting Ange. We haven't any depth and we aren't a great team that can cope with these kinds of injuries and schedule
Ange needs to pack his bags. Ricky acts as though we can either have highline kamikaze nonsense ball or "parking the bus". No, we can have a more fluid manager & attack in patches & defend when we need to like when we had a fkn 2 point lead against brighton. Look at Slot, hes balanced. Anges garbage caused hamstring injuries at celtic as well.
Melvyn's comments are exactly what I've been saying since last season when Radu sat on the bench for most games. I'll reiterate what the former said: Ange only rotates when his hand is forced. Older folks have a hard time changing and I am sorry to say, but I don't think this is a weakness that I can't see him improving (BTW: I'm his age).
None of the team bar Solanke, Kulu and Archie are playing to their ability. Son occassionally appears but does not strive like a Captain, Maddison focuses on Free kicks, the decisions in the final 3rd just dont look like a team all over it. They need rotation, competition for thier place. Levy will help in this window but who will want to come.
Levi to blame get him out
‘Get him out’ ?? Of the club HE OWNS. and how do you propose to do that?
Protests
@@paullasky6865 ooh why don’t you start a petition? 🤦🏻
Do you have 5 bil to get him out?
@@paullasky6865protests will do absolutely nothing only way to change ownership is to find a buyer
The onus is on Levy to rebuild this squad. People comparing the points tally to past managers - this team is not as good as past teams. We have a makeshift back line, not an excuse, a fact. If Sonny was firing and Kulu and madders improved their goal threat we would have far more points on the board from those early games. Get behind the team, Get behind the manager. Or get ready for groundhog day in 18months when we're firing yet another coach. Marco Silva, Franke, Nuno or whoever else is flavour of the month ain't gonna serve any better without recruitment
Love Ange backing His players always, and taking the criticism as the Manager. Did Conte or Mourinho do that?
Ricky, if Son scores the penalty then the game that develops is not the same game that developed after his miss. Ball is kicked of from the center circle and a different game develops. Johnson would not have scored that goal.
The rebuild constantly gets brought up and that the board is not doing enough. I disagree with the negativity and impatience. It's only been 18 months . I'm quite sure behind the scenes there is a strategy and it's being implemented. What's thrown a spanner in the works is the " voodoo style " of bad luck that has happened. That amount of bad luck will destabilise any team . It is what it is . But I'm quite sure be these short term problems will be worked through . I believe that Daniel Levi is a Tottenham fan and cares about the club and & Ange is a fighter and cares just as much
I’ve gone from Ange in to Ange out to Ange I don’t care!
it’s up-to Ange to get the best out of our players but sadly he fails ..
Depth of squad .
They need to rotate, get em on steroids , performance enhancers like Chelsea players, Paul Pogba until he was caught. 😂
Most fans don’t know behind the scenes injuries is screwing the rotation of players. Filling in gaps with out of position players because of the injury deficits. Ange is realizing its not as simple as having a star winger playing as a striker. Need more Center backs that have enough strength to play up and run back to the defensive line.
Sorry this pattern of open play for the opposition hasn't changed in 12 months. It is what it is, with this squad of players and manager. This is the limit for Bentancur, Sarr, Bissouma, Porro, Udogie, Johnson, Son, they are not getting any better. So who is going to be sold to make room for improvements? Answer honestly lads .
Craig listing who's to blame. No mention of the fans. This is a problem. If the club buy a player and it's not for enough money that we find acceptable. We freak and accuse Levy of lack of ambition. And it takes the gloss off a new player coming in. We don't wait to see how they play.
The same thing with Werner this season imo. Son can play bad most games and Werner play well and miss some chances. The fans are demanding Werner never play because he's stealing minutes from an 18 year old at the club. When the kid plays and it isn't better there's no admission that it was a wrong take.
Can you imagine how the fans would have reacted had the club forced Son out when Saudi came for him? So soon after Kane had gone. Son thought he was supporting the club and the fans. The correct decision was to force him to go. The fans would have freaked out and accused levy of hating them and the club.
All the drama makes us an easy club to manipulate by the media and opposition fans.
Melvyn's got some level headed takes on what he's actually seeing in the games, how the players are actually playing. And he's getting stick for holding an unpopular opinion.
I personally am sick of seeing senior players fail to lead the team, when we need them to. Son, Madison, Romero, Bissouma. They get away with their inconsistency by us attacking the board and the manager. This is the thing that Conte was talking about. The Spursy thing. How, bad football is tolerated at the club. Manager after manager.
The group of senior players thing pisses me off. And it passed off Hojberg when Conte accused the players of not putting it in. Hojberg wasn't in that click of Kane, Son, Dier, Lloris at the time. The fans wanted him out because they took a dislike to him. Now i hear people saying we need a player like him this season. AND WE DO! We forced him out and couldn't see he was a good player. Now we accuse the board for not keeping a good enough squad. We forced out a player we needed and still need because, why????? Because collectively we're idiots and deserve the shit football and team we get. Sick of this BS. Santo was out manager we forced him out and attacked the board because Kane was trying to force his way out at the time. We need to stop fanboying for players over the club.
Ricky is the best listen. Chris I like but he didn’t have an answer to the question … what could Ange have done different in this game … and could only generalise rather than answer the question
We would have had 3 points easily if the players could finish. Ange can’t do that for them.
Agreed. if kulu had a right foot he would have and should have scored.
We would have had 3 points if ange had good game management.... Ange can do that for them
All that manager wants to do is attack attack attack, why not bring on Dorrington and take off one attacking player and see the game out when it gets past the 80/85 minute mark? the more those players attack the more tired they become then it leaves the team weak and they can't defend. This has been a regular pattern, players being run into the ground, injured players coming back only to get injured again, Ange is a criminal and the sooner he goes the better i don't know why fans are still defending this guy when they wanted other managers out for less.
Relying in vdv's pace is bullshit
Take Gabriel, Saliba and Raya and have no backups out of Arsenal and see how they perform.. Spurs sat back brilliantly today under pressure, it's impossible to defend with no defenders.
Why compare us to arsenal..... Arsenal are title challenging were 11th....
There is a "T" in qualiTy!
When the club shop is selling half and half scarves and plenty of tourist fans are wearing them in the home stands, do you wonder why the fans are arguing , disgruntled, and the atmosphere is shite. Add in the poor results its a shit storm waiting to happen .
We need a real on field captain, we definately don't have one.
Wolves are 4th bottom. Everyone should be seething with this result
It all about the result. Ange is not good enough
I lost my support for Ange went when he said he will not change, he admits players tired but insists on them playing his way.
He does change but his philosophy he won’t. They missed some easy chances today, and if they hit you wouldn’t be moaning
You're guests should really do there research. Ricky said it's not down to ange training. It is. Same thing happened at Celtic.
No it didn't buddy. 2 injured players at most at any time at Celtic. I'm a Celtic supporter. This has never happened before for any Ange team.
@karmic-fleas so you didnt get hamstring injuries at Celtic? Are you sure? As I know you did
@@leeeales1972 No bud. We didn't. There were 2 players who got injured from time to time (CCV and Hetate with knees), and one young new player from Japan who came in the 2nd year and who got hamstrings but never proved good enough to be first team worthy. Other than that we were golden.
It's a myth.
In the first 12 games there were about 2 hammy's but that was just in the beginning.
@karmic-fleas so his training at match intensity and playing the same 11 week in and week out haven't had an affect? Of course they have. Also this is the prem not the Scottish league
@@leeeales1972 Having a bunch of kids, no depth, and bad luck, and some weak players had much greater impact.
Sucker punched toward the end of the game as many times before. Nonetheless, with this hard fought draw, Spurs appear to be slowly turning the corner toward the end of the year and the new year...
Won't get class players paying them less money than they are on now mr leavy
Sounds like you've finally approached your breaking point Chris. How you couldn't see this a lot earlier with Ange's statements, I'll never know. His philosophy isn't sustainable and this talk you had previously of backing him financially would be suicidal.
Levy never backs anyone...
Dragusin is making too many mistakes. Passing the ball out he guarantwes he passes to opposition. Too eager to get rid of the ball. He needs to calm himself and look around, pass with intelligence. Midfield need to make thwmselves more aware. Spurs nwed to buy a vocal captain in defenxe or midfield who can sort the rest out. Soneone with bollocks.
Levy OUT, Ryan Mason OUT!!!
The two meddlers can go, they've shown where their loyalties lie, AND THEY DIDN'T LIE!
The big Euros 6 money money money n f the fans
Cup final, mg mates feelings are more kmportant than a Cup win, re Winks vrs Ndombele.
Nuff said, so when?
Ange out, Levy out, ENIC out
Rest our players for Liverpool because I don’t give a monkeys about the league
Unfortunately levy is the other way round
I am sorry Ricky is Ty from arsenal tv but the Spurs version. Ange look up up you pratt
Just give up cheering what Spurs are always losing again and again every year.. no point telling coach or chairman and also players as they not listening to your complaints every year!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I am back here after a.break and same Craig on each video. Craig who is saying that he is frustrated but he.looks.like he doesn't care. Chris was frustrated so Ricky and Malvyn. Craig wake up mate. Is hard to watch you
Would you rather I jumped up and down and swore and shouted? I'm sorry I'm not your cup of tea but I can assure you I do care or I wouldn't be on the podcast!
Have some bloody respect to the guy not everyone expresses being frustrated in the same way he's level headed he's not jumping about ranting and raving it's actually nice to see someone calm
What a absolute knob you are Adam
Ricky needs to understand that we don't have these players because Angeball is an injury tactic. We don't have a fully fit squad because Ange won't change for necessity. It's down to Ange it's not down to anyone else.
As a neutral I enjoy watching you play. Ange has said he will 'never' change his way of playing nor his in-game management. So wanting him to change in any way isn't listening to him. What you see is what you get. This is it...
I also think the players are clearly being run into the ground in training and in games. The intensity is wearing over a season both mentally and physically especially if there is little rotation.
The January transfer will be interesting, I say he needs the rest of the season...but results may hinder that.
Why is he not gone any other previous manager would be sacked and i feel only reason is because levy the tyrant has destroyed our reputation so much in the football world hes afraid to sack Ange .levy needs to go aswell we need the club sold its getting riduculous under levy with poor signings and poor quality..
did sacking the others work? there's your answer
@sandycultofthesun what are you trying to say.. make a point? Are you a levy hand clapper? Well levy should not have sacked Poch..or Conte but they were not backed theres a difference Ange is out of his depth.
Ange isn’t out of his depth
@PigeonPair he is
Levy ouuuuut
For God’s sake Ricky 🤐 ‼️
Poor site!
Medical & Fitness teams, Lange all contributing zero
Ange should have brought on Bergval at the 8, Maddison at the 10, moved Johnson to left wing, Kulu to right wing. Lankshear on for Solanke last 15 mins who couldnt run. Forster must be replaced, he is embarrassing. Werner must be sent back to Germany. The players aren't playing as a team, too many selfish players with ego's. They also make dumb errors continually. Club must be sold and Levy and Ange must go. Son must be sold and Kulu or Romero as captain. Stop looking at the ground Ange, ffs.
Ricky is unbearable
We've gone backwards 💯 %. Our away form has been abysmal for 18 months. Now our home form is falling off as well. That is relegation form.
I like Ricky but it gets to a point where you're just being positive for the sake of it. When Ange could rotate he didn't hence why Romero and VDV got injured again. His record is now worse than Christian Gross.
So many Gooners fans in these comments. Because if it's NOT the Gooners trolling, then these aren't real Tottenham fans. Back the manager!
Stadium was full yesterday
Absolutely 100%agree is not the manager it's levy. Prove conte.jose. nuno. Sacked now doing better at other clubs WHY
Just because someone has a different opinion that you does not make them a gooner or a non Tottenham fan... Grown up ffs
I lost my support for Ange went when he said he will not change, he admits players tired but insists on them playing his way.
