It’s astonishing how bad Spurs are considering they have two world class centerbacks. That’s one of the hardest things to get, and most reliable things to build from.
Lange got handed one of the easiest rebuilds because of Romero and van de Ven, and has spent so much money, but the team is worse.

I’ve supported much worse Spurs teams, but never one so purposeless. They have no merits, and there’s no vision project for what they want to be. There’s no reason for this team to exist at the moment.

Spurs managed to take a single shot following Frank's 59th minute triple sub. A header from Richarlison at a corner. It was instantly blocked, leaving their total at six shots and roughly 0.4 xG to Forest's 2.

So stupid. They just threw off the gloves at the start, with no provocation. They start fighting an hour earlier and it is assault. Do it once the game starts, and it is normal and fine.
If you like fighting, watch boxing or UFC. It is idiotic that this isn't just allowed but de facto encouraged.

Love what Ange stands for. And I think he's been unlucky. But starting with Deki, Bergvall, and Bentancur in midfield with the FBs also pushing up aggressively away from home? Insane decision. If that's your midfield, you need to play a double pivot or keep one of the FBs back. But no. #tottenham

Bentancur awful and Deki & Bergvall leaving him out to dry. Tel awful on the left. Danso touch is poor. Porro poor (again). Kinsky poor. Sarr's decisions bad (again). Son looking a bit cooked.
Didn't see the Liverpool game, but it musta been real bad if this was an improvement for #Tottenham.

Infuriating. Between Biden’s infirmity, his ego, and his team’s greater loyalty to him than to country or party, they both put the country at risk during his presidency and handed the WH to his nemesis.

I'm endlessly kind of baffled by the lack of urgency on housing California. This is the state's number one problem—a crisis so bad that's imperiling national Democratic ambitions. And all we can pass are heavily compromised bills that take effect in like five years, if ever.

My issue with the criticism towards Ange is that most of it is exaggerated, lacks context, or is just straight up based on nonsense.
There are areas where he got to improve.
But those things shrink in comparison to how much his coaching and leadership is a credit to the badge.
