Anyone's got a ticket available for Spurs vs Palace? Looking for three but could be ok with two. Dorsn't have to be next to eachother

Yeah. Jabba has a brain

Agree. Kudus right, Savio left, Marmoush up top. Bentancur has been fine but I'd go Tonali/Fernandes as a double pivot then the number 10 issue I've been pondering if we should play Benta as a lone anchor with Tonali/Fernandes freedom to reign forward. Ie more of a 4-1-2-3

How bad are the Spurs so this season? 20th in the table is, understatement, not great. But, are they relegation candidates? Probably not. For xG/xGA/xPTS, rank is ~15th. If Brentford game was an outlier (I think/hope it was), then considerably better for xGA (5th best) and xPTS (12th). xG ~16th

Weird thing is that it was 0-0 at half time (!)

Last year; the first five games were pretty dire but gave us some 9-10 points... Keep going and results will come whilst also playing attacking football.

Having a hard time understanding people who think that sacking RDZ now would be a great idea?! Replacing him with Poch is nostalgic at best. If we ensure 7 (?) months of turgid TF- ball, then surely RDZ must be given time? The only way is up!

Women's team leading the way. 5-0 right now

We are playing catching up.Yes, we've bought 10 players and I think the bulk of them are getting where we want them to be. But the old guard, what's left, has been plagued by injuries, different managers, poor form, crashed confidence, the loss of team mates they've liked and so on. Long road back.

121

I echo this. I would have gone into panic mood if we'd played like we did versus Brentford in every game. From what I understand there's also a fundamental belief in RDZ methods from the players, whilst I recall that the first mumbles re TF surfaced around October.

Thanks for your kind reply. Appreciated. Just pinned down what I felt.

100

Ok. I usually appreciate what you write and your pod, but I feel that the frustration of the current duration has made its way into your articles. Could also be that I'm sick and tired of all the moaning, so that I'm too critical :-). My bad and thanks for your reply.

It's clear that you don't like RDZ by your articles, but right now you're painting a compact black picture. It's of course the easy way to go about things; it's easier to pick up all the negative things, instead of focusing on the positives. That's also what the moaning supporters thrive on.

I liked Poch as well and thought he did well but he hasn't won anything of worth. Calling someone an elite manager or not is irrelevant. De Zerbi seems to have a plan and a way he wants to play. I think he also demands a lot which I think is good BUT he will leave when he doesn't get what he wants

I would expect 9 points from those games.

Judging by comments on Instagram and FB we should just admit defeat and pull out of the league. Love the spirit 🤢 However, empty vessels make most noise and I firmly believe that the bulk of supporters are in for this ride even though it's a shaky one.

030

Hopefully not, but I understand you don't rate De Zerbi, so we'll just have to disagree. Think it would border on criminal, if our board has backed him to the hilt only to sack him right games in...

120

Ok, then we disagree. The flaws I see will be rectified with more tactical awareness and hard work. Goals can always be conceded not least when you are chasing games. At Brighton De Zerbi won zero of his first 5 games and three of his first ten. They failed to score in three of the first five.

Sure, but that's not after six PL games, with a completely new team, whilst also deploying new demanding tactics.

220

Yep, yet some fans won't accept that.

000

Deserved at least a point here, but tough when you don't take advantage of some fine play in the first half, whilst also conceding some stupid goals. Confidence is brittle. I choose to remain positive. I also choose to believe my eyes and believe the climb upwards is just around the corner.

3100

Absolutely. The first half today was the best I've seen us play for a very long time. We've also showed some heart last 15 minutes.

I do enjoy seeing Matty Cash having his pants pulled down by Savio over and over again.

000

Yeah, my bad. I corrected. They will of course want us to keep him, and will enjoy our misery

000

Also. Our confidence is shot and it'll take time to rebuild. Of course it's frustrating but I don't see this as all doom and gloom. Boing today, which will happen, is not gonna help.

Being relegated would have been a disaster and we wouldn't have bounced back. We're rebuilding right now and will finish top six this season. If anyone thought it would all just work after 7-8 games I'm surprised.

100

Opposing fans will have patience but they will of course do everything to get our 'fans' to moan and demand that RDZ is sacked. If he is sacked we're more stupid than imaginable.

240

A big problem with losing and not scoring is that the press, our own 'fans' and fans of other clubs will have no patience and demand that RDZ will be sacked. The fact that we're playing better is no consolation. Crisis? Yes.

230

Ah, man. Well, well. Let's go. Turn this around! Believe!

030

Bentancur has been immense today

I read it that you thought the match was painful to see, which I disagree with... And I don't find it painful. Last year we played like shit but somehow picked up points early on, this year it's the opposite situation.

100

Pathetic. You boo this you know fuck all about football

I disagree. Not painful at all. I think we're playing really well, but of course it's a blow to concede the way we do.

100

Best half I've seen us play since I can't remember. I know the moaners will complain about us not scoring, but this rot can't surely continue.

050

Yeah, Benta should've been booked

110

The first League goal of the season will either be a worldie or a complete fluke :-)

000

FFS...Just keep going. It's impossible for us not to score in the end.

000

Playing some proper fine football but need that goal. If so we'll get a couple.

140

COYS! Let's get that goal!
