What the fuck is Unai cooking

Ange seems like a great bloke but his refusal to adapt from his system has completely fucked this team over.

They are all gassed, too many injuries, playing at full speed for 100+ mins. This injury crisis isn't a coincidence. These tactics take their toll. He never had the strength in depth to maintain this and every injury compounds the obvious issue. It also requires players returning from injury to be playing at 100mph which is unwise.

Teams that have success playing like this have much better squads and know when to slow it down or play defensively when necessary.

Villa played awful today and still won, Chelsea played awful against them and won 4-1, Wolves were able.to keep going for the full match and deserved the win.

It will be fun to watch, but without better game and squad management this team will be lucky to finish in the top 8.

It would be way too soon for the players to be getting injured because of the tactics, Spurs aren't in any other competition and we're like a third of the way into the season. The only injury today was Bentancur and that's because Cash decided to chop him down in his own half, it wasn't because he was running too much

Villa are cracked...

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

People act like all chances have been offside which is ridiculous, if Spurs finished half the good onsite chances it's a win. They saw the game out cleverly, it's not always the better team that wins, but that doesn't mean it was smash and grab.

That "offside trap" by Villa

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

3Ls on the bounce with city next I would not want to be Ange right now, mate.

Smoking on that Tottenham pack 🚬🚬🚬⚰️⚰️⚰️🥳🥳🥳🥳

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I know it's hypothetical, but I reckon Spurs win that if Bentancur didn't need to go off.

Luiz was class and Villa just cut through the mid on the counter as soon as he went off.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah we really regress whenever Hojbjerg has to play as our 6, he's not a bad player but he's like the antithesis of an Angeball player lol.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Fuck me an Auburn Spurs fan must be in hell today. Whew

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

3 managers of the month and sacked in the month after

Surely never been done before?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The amount of Spurs fans wishing Matty Cash serious injury and even cancer in their sub is disturbing but not surprising. Just spent 10 minutes reporting 30+ accounts for threatening violence. 1 ban already came through, hopefully many more.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Especially when it was such a nothing tackle. He was late and it was a foul but hardly malicious.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

He's a dirty player that has injured a number of players. Of course he's hated.

The cancer thing is beyond childish but I don't think redditors have that ability.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

every single fan base has them. But classic arsenal fan glued to the Spurs subreddit constantly. rent free.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Why are Arsenal fans so weird? You just made the cancer thing up

Son with a hat trick of offside goals

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Is anyone suprised ? Same story .They play great till December .Injury pills up .Team become Spurs again .Guess this team is really into edging its fans .

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Our injury/suspended list would finish 3rd in the PL.

Of just the starting XI we’re missing Romero, Vandeven, Bissouma, Sarr, Bentancur, Maddison, and Richarlison.

But it’s also hurting our depth. Sessegnon, Peresic, Solomon all out as well.

Despite all that, we were incredibly unlucky. Hit the post, missed at least two, maybe three, fantastic chances.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Hahahahahhahaha. No.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Richarlison lol

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Ange learning that you can't stick to one plan the entire season

This ain't the SPL

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

We looked good though? Just a difference in finishing and actually having a single CB on the pitch

Why are Spurs fans acting like they're the only ones with injured and suspended players? Last season Chelsea had like 11-12 players who could make the first team squad out for months due to injury and United this season. They were laughing when it happened to others. But it doesn't feel nice when it happens to you, does it?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yep. No sympathy for them, esp not this season with all the injuries happening across the league.

Seeing a lot of people in this thread who didn't actually watch the game and are just judging by scoreline. Spurs played really well and were unlucky with Son netting an offside hattrick, realistically this should have been a cruisy win for them. People trying to say Ange is washed and Spurs have been found out are absolutely hilarious, their tactics are still working, they just need to address the defensive issues and take their chances better and they'll be dominant again, this is all from a Chelsea fan.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

"They just need to concede less, score more, and they'll be dominant" 🤡

Warra title challenge for spurs 😊

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Spurs fans are crying about injuries as if Villa haven't had their fair share of injuries this season. The difference is our players learnt to adjust to the manager's tactics.

Get in Unai!!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Good match to Villa. Honestly thought Spurs played better today & should've came away with a point atleast, but credit to Villa for taking their chances and converting them.

Officiating was great. People making a deal about the Cash tackle are being dumb. Standard yellow.

Defense held up well, just need to execute better in the box. This gives me hope for the next few months with VDV out.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Spurs should have been 3 up at half time, but somehow went in level. Don't think too many teams would deal with the key injuries spurs have. Bit much for people to be writing of Ange

I like Postecoglu, but I'm gonna be a spurs hater for the rest of the season after the way the first match with Liverpool went.

So this was nice.

I think people are misunderstanding the Spurs squad situation as an injury crisis. Yes there are a lot of players out, but it's not the number of players, it's the specific players and the lack of depth behind them.

Even with players healthy, we would be bound to struggle without VdV and Maddison. Those two have been transformative signings in areas of weakness we've had for years.

Although the current CB situation is shambolic, us Spurs fans knew this could happen based on the status of the squad after the summer window.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The "Hat trick of offside" had me dying

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Still dont get why Kulu did not get that penalty. Specially if now Martial got it for his halfass dive

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahaha.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Why are Spurs fans crying about injuries? There are so many teams this season that had to cope with an injury crisis this season. Maybe if Romero & Bissouma weren't ill-disciplined their bench would have options.
